The game, that wasn't there.

I have spent the last 2 hours looking for information on Sea Dogs 2/ корсары 2, and besides a small website that has not been updated since 31.05.04, and some screenshots, that I am guessing are from Feburary of this year, I cannot find anything!

Now supposedly this game comes out around Christmas time in Russia, and over here shortly after (once they find a publisher). That is not too far off, where is the hype? The `pre-release` buzz? Besides a russian magazine article, it seems not a single gaming website, or magazine even has a clue this game exists, and I am starting to wonder if it does.

Heck, as even mentioned in another topic, there is no mention at all of this game, on the Akella main company site! They have Captain blood, and Swashbucklers under the "coming soon" tab. Well Christmas is pretty soon, How come Sea Dogs 2 has no mention?

For all I know at this point, those screenshots of корсары 2 are just a bunch of pictures some fan took of a mod for PoTC, and is trying to trick everyone into believing.

Does anyone have any solid updates on this game? Some straight from the horses mouth proof of its existence?
 
I have seen a menu shot from seadogs 2, and there has been a bit of a change, nothing earth shatering thouh, but slaves and that type of thing are avalible. The lack of publicity in Akella's part is due to publisher talks before Alex left he said they were talking and an announcment was due in october, so after i was harassing him about it i was told Akella started o a few other projects that were publisher sponsered so they to a degree to a priority, paying the bills type thing. But its a sure thing that t will happen but im still waiting to get word form the new PR at Akella so im not sure where they are at this point
 
Even though it is basicly PoTC with a few changes, the idea of this game has me very excited. The 18 island map, based off of real world locals, is just great. And the idea that there will be a toolset released with the game blows my mind, when I realize, that with a mod, you could make the rest of the Caribbean in its entirety to surround the default 18 islands.
I read somewhere that one of the new trade goods is opium
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> that should go a long way to makeing playing a smuggler more interesting.

I just got a little suspiscious when I noticed that a game that a lot of people have been wanting for awhile, has virtually no coverage at all, so close to its release. Hope you get a chance to talk to the new PR guy, I need my fix of info. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />

There is or was an opium den in Redmond at one point - haven't been there in awhile, so I don't know if it's still there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

It IS still there.

When it comes to "the game that wasn't there"... well, it can refer to CoAS now! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
