I am doubtful that any of you rememberVenetica, a little known action RPG in development for the Xbox 360 that wasquietly announcedway back in May. Set in 16th Century Venice, the game has a charming look and an original premise. I was interested at the time, but completely forgot about it.
Developer Deck 13 would like to remind you again, and has unleashed four new screens, along with a dev diary on itsWeb site. The dev diary is of no use to you because it’s all written in crazy Frankfurter language.
This post serves more as a reminder than anything else.Veneticais a videogame, and it’s still being made. I consider this my civic duty for the day.
