Don’t Give Up On ‘Shadow of the Eternals’ Just Yet
After a disastrous attempt to bring to life the Eternal Darkness spiritual successor Shadow of the Eternals, Denis Dyack and Co. have returned with an update on the status of the game in the debut episode of the new Quantum Tunnel podcast. Dyack’s new studio, Quantum Entanglement Entertainment, will be handling its revival, which they hope to transform into a multimedia property that will span video games, film and TV.
Before any of that can happen, they’ll need to finish the game. Dyack confirmed in a recent post on the studio’s Facebook page that it’s still on the way, saying “Yes it’s still coming! We always appreciate people wanting the game but also know that it’s a frustrating wait – and you guys are awesome for sticking around with us!”
“The kickstarter failed so we had to go a different direction and start a new business with a new business model, these things take time but we’re able to do a lot more with the new company and have a lot more options. We obviously had a less than pleasant experience with some unethical press during the kickstarter so we’re making sure we have all our ducks in a row before we talk much more about SOTE, but it IS coming. We’re recording a video podcast tonight which will be released in the next day or so where we’ll talk a little more about it.”
You can find the debut episode of the Quantum Tunnel podcast he’s referring to below.
Shadow of the Eternals was originally supposed to be an episodic game set in Louisiana, and comprised of twelve 2-4 hour-long episodes that would release in a manner similar to a television show. The story followed Paul Becker, a detective tasked with investigating a brutal massacre between rival cults and their connection to the “Eternals”. That might’ve changed since we last heard from the game, or maybe not. Stay tuned!
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
