I wish to inform you with pleasure that the new version of our website is working properly at last and you won’t be staring at a stupid “Coming Soon” inscription anymore. Unfortunately, working on it is not finished yet, and there are some lacks which will be corrected in the nearest future. But I wanted to draw your attention not only to the site. Since the last updating in August, 2007 so much has happened in life of Immersion Mod Studio. There were both rises and fallings. It would be desirable to tell, that during the last year we have pretty grown as a development team. We have established release deadlines (currently, Q4 2008 - Q1 2009), have finally shared the jobs in project; have begun content improvement. So good luck to us!

Within this summer there was a new rise, but by the end of year the project was suffering from the new recession. The forum was not updated, and other developers kept silence. In December we decided to make reorganization. But, it happens, everything ended right after discussion, and instead some of benevolent players began to criticize. The modification went on going down lower and lowers...

And then something important happened: we were woken up and given new stimulus for working. Thanks to ModDB site and their annual award MOTY - somehow the project has made its way into the second phase of voting (top 100), and moreover, it was brought to the top five finalists. Now I declare with pride, that Blue Shift: Source has taken the third place in “Best Unreleased Mod”! Certainly, without votes of our western fans nothing would turn out, so thank you guys!

Having learned about nomination, we decided to prepare a large enough update which, as you see, includes new screenshots and renders, absolutely new website, and even a couple of tracks from our composer!
