I can't go into much detail yet, because things are still being worked out and an official announcement is forthcoming... but I've been given clearance to let fans know that Spectrum Games has signed an exclusive deal with a multi-platform company to turn our tabletop miniatures game, Urban Manhunt, into a series of movies, novels, video games, and more.

We are working very closely on these projects and the company in question is really going the extra mile to ensure that the end results will be faithful to the source material and is of the highest quality. Within a month or two, the big official announcement will be released and I'll make sure that all our fans will be among the first to know about it.

So stay tuned. Urban Manhunt is about to explode!

I have to say I’m skeptical. Development Hell is a real place. Please continue to “keep your day job” in case this doesn’t eventuate.

But I hope this happens.

I certainly understand the skepticism. I've seen many projects fall into limbo. That said, I have every reason to believe that this won't be the case here. The devil's in the details and, unfortunately, I can't yet share those details.

Believe me, though, I'm keeping a hold of the day job.

Uh huh.

Good luck!

I have no reason to lie about it, because I would just end up with egg on my face when it didn't come to fruition. And that wouldn't benefit me at all.
