Digital Images: Deadlock
In the above statement, Stuart Walker of Digital Images explains why the game
Space Station 3000 will not be released. However, "Deadlock" as a new Amiga game
and "Wipeout 2097" as a Mac-port of the Psygnosis game are announced.
Development of Space Station 3000 has been canceled because the 2.5 years of
development did not give any tangible results. The game was redesigned and
rewritten again and again, but the nice ideas did not turn into results.
Deadlock is a Space Combat Simulator having its origins in Space Station 3000.
The game will make use of many so far unpublished space vessels from Space Station
3000 and will be set in the 22th century. The game website
has some graphics of the vessels, and more.
Digital Images also purchased the Macintosh license for
Wipeout 2097. Details on this
are announced for the near future.

Payback Status Report
James Daniels wrote in his status report, that he used most of his time to
create new levels which include levels taking place at night. Among many changes
the lightning of the streets and the cars has been improved, support for
PSX controllers, different looking pedestrians has been added, and some bugs
were fixed. People now panic when the player tries to kill them. The weather now features
thunder-storm with superb light effects, and the game speed has been improved.
