Since this thread has bubbled back up, I may as well give an update on Death's Cold Embrace.
* Act I (missions 1-4) has completed beta testing.
* Act II (missions 5-7) has completed most Alpha testing, and I expect Beta to start by the end of March. 6 is ready for Beta, and 5 and 7 are ready to be scripted (which I am starting this weekend).
* Act III (missions 8-10) is a mixed bag. Both 8 and 10 could be scripted today since they're built on bases which have completed Alpha. Mission 9 however is still rough and incomplete, and will need a lot of work before even Alpha testing starts.
We're still hoping for a release this year, perhaps even by the end of summer.

That's excellent news!

Hey Yandros, would you consider me for beta testing? I would like to experience a bit of a great snow campaign, even if it were still being worked on.

I'm not sure when/if we're going to add a new tester, but when/if we do, I'll get in touch!

Any news on the progress?
Sorry for the late response, but it's for a good reason: On an average I am now 98% done with the FM formerly known as
Hunting Season. Thanks for your interest! :)

Good to know! When will it release, and what is the mission about?

Backstory in short: Garrett gets hired by yet another fat noble to find a long lost heirloom believed to have been stolen by pirates. The heirloom has been traced to a group of long abandoned islands, but which has now been turned into a prison and the only way in is as a prisoner, which is where the mission starts.
Release is planned for first quarter of 2015.

Ah, I smell some social stealth in here. While not my favourite mechanic from the Thief games, I do hope you can make something interesting out of it.
Unless you just escape by stealing a key or something almost immediately, but I feel having some social stealth would be nice.
