What a day. Due to some old weird tech, I’ve spent most of my day trying to solve a non existing problem, which means that a bunch of stuff has to be postponed, blah blah, yada yada. However, something did smooth things over: Swag! And no the boring, cool kind, but instead…
DISH WIPES!
Rest your eyes on these puppies:

Yep. It’s a no go.
IGN has some more information on it.
For some some specific details on what you’ll be missing out on, look here. We’ve known this for a while, obviously, but it’s still a little bit sad. There are however good reasons for not releasing it.
Apologies to those of you waiting for this.

By ways of excellent blog RockPaperShotgun I found a delightful post similar to something I wrote about in my thesis.
Or part similar. Rob Hale’s article seems to to take a step back and analyze the whole, while my own is more focused on the composition part. And while my article focuses on strategy game level design, reading Hale’s post I’m convinced that it’s applicable (and even sound) on games using other perspective as well.
