I recieved an interesting e-mail from a gent named Russ Fagaly a few days ago, and I apologize for not getting it up sooner. It appears that there is another new Bungie-inspired developer on the scene:
Sphidia Software would like to announce the debut of their new website. Simple, elegant, and damn cool, the new site will provide a nice graphical space on the web for information and other fun stuff to be disseminated out to the masses. Founded in the depths of the Bungie fan community, Sphidia is working hard on their first product, a tactics based real time strategy gameentitled, Dynasty.Thanks,
Russ Fagaly
Sphidia Software
(Links added) No7orious also makes note of this in our community forum. It appears from the information available that Sphidia may be somewhat farther along in the process than Island Four. I'll be fascinated to see what they come up with, and whether it offers new thought in gaming.
