Speaking after one TV series producer hinted yesterday that the Stargate Worlds project is dead in the water, one Cheyenne Mountain employee has dropped by to assure that the game is in fact still in development.

Marketing boss Kevin Balentine tells us that the game hasn't been axed, and that the MMO title is still progressing apace despite the TV producer's previous assertions.

"Our official response is that the lights here are still on and the team is working hard every day to get this game built," Balentine told Big Download.

"Team members are in the office seven days a week to deliver Stargate Worlds. Brad Wright is the Stargate expert and a creative consultant on Stargate Worlds who advises us on the story; unfortunately we had not recently updated him on our progress or the impact from the current global economic crisis, and he was not fully aware of the continuing progress on our game."

The lights are still on, it would seem.
