Many of you may have forgotten the promising Faith and a .45, a depression-era co-op game from the same outfit that brought us Total Overdose. Its unique setting and Bonnie & Clyde-esque characters made this game incredibly appealing to me, but sadly it seems that the title is on hold until further notice.
I tried contacting Deadline Games about Faith a while ago, but didn't seem to get anywhere. Others had more luck, and found out that, while the studio doesn't have a problem making the game, it does have a problem finding anybody to publish it. Looks like nobody in the industry was as eager as I am to see this game released, so it's currently on the rocks.
I really hope a publisher heroically flies in to save this one from limbo. Deadline does good work, and it'd be a horrendous shame to see an original concept go the way of the dodo. We just need a publisher with a little Faith.

It looked really promising :(
I really wanted to see this game in action.
I guess I must keep the faith, or a .45.
The premise of the game sounded so good.
You have any idea how much it costs to publish a game? This seems like a small studio and they probably don't have the money.
These guys should approach TellTale. I bet they'd be willing to help.
I'd play it.
Anyway, it's a damn shame, since the setting is a wonderful change of pace from everything else. I hope some publisher takes a chance with it, like Brutal Legend and the Ghostbusters game recently.
Maybe they don't want to release it for PC gaming, maybe PC is just one platform, did you ever think of that?
maybe it'll get picked up
