As previously mentioned, Phoenix Online Studios will be hosting a major event on our official site on July 30, the centerpiece of the event being a chat with the developers of "The Silver Lining" for our fans as well as the gaming press. This chat will discuss the major developments of the last twelve months (such as our negotiations to obtain a license from Vivendi to continue our work on the game), the progress of the game's development and even the release of some surprising new content that should build your appetite for the final game. Finally, we've invited some legends of the adventure game genre to attend, and will inform you if they confirm their attendance.
