It’s rare to see a game switch developers midstream but it has been done before. Unfortunately, it’s even rarer to see it happen this late in the life cycle of the project. Which happens to be the case with Knite & The Ghost Lights. It will no longer be developed by Mobot Studios but rather another team known simply as “Team Mistland”. As such, everything will be moved to their new Web site and most of the updates will be moved to their blog as well.
I had commented in the Kickstarter update that having the major focus be on social media and other “outside sources” was a bad idea but after some discussion in the comments of the update it sounds like everyone’s on the same page now. It looks like we’ll still see updates like once or twice a month with at least links to pertinent articles that didn’t make it to Kickstarter.
