Jeff Mitner sent word out today on [url=http://stinkygoat.livejournal.com/96738.html]his personal blog[/url] that Space Giraffe has hit the alpha stage of development. This means that come tomorrow (Wednesday). What does this mean for a release date for the title? Not much as games can get stuck in this early stage of testing and certification for a while as was talked about on the recently released [url=http://www.gamertagradio.com]Gamertag Radio Ep #85 Worms interview[/url].

Jeff Mitner later goes on to claim that "this is to Tempest what Llamatron was to Robotron", especially since Atari is brining Tempest out for Xbox Live Arcade sometime later this year. Hopefully, Jeff is right, and this new title will live up to the high standards set by his previous game.
