Chair Entertainment co-founder Donald Mustard has confirmed to MTV Multiplayer that the developer is working on a new game, saying only as much that it’s in “the design phase.”

“We’re definitely working on…things. I’m just not going to tell you what it is…we’re still evaluating in the design phase.”

Is it Shadow Complex 2? We’d like to think so. It’s one of the best games released this year.

Dirty, rotten, no-good cheaters beware: The Major‘s got the best good/bad surveillance system this side of Santa Claus, and he knows what you’re up to. Case in point: Shadow Complex.

If you’re caught pulling a fast one in Shadow Complex, you’ll be removed from the game’s leaderboard, “investigated” for a complete Gamerscore reset, and – if your ill-gained Gamerscore is wiped clean – branded as a cheater on Xbox Live.

So yeah. Stop cheating. Otherwise, you’ll get something far worse than coal in your stocking from Chair Entertainment and Microsoft.

Shadow Complex sold more than 200,000 copies in its first week, making it the fastest-selling single-player XBLA game yet.

“Congratulations to Chair Entertainment and Epic Games for creating an outstanding game,” said Scott Austin, director of digitally distributed games at Microsoft. “As the capstone title of the second annual Summer of Arcade program, Shadow Complex has raised the bar for downloadable games. We’re proud to offer such high-quality content on Xbox LIVE Arcade.”

Whoever thought side-scrolling console games were a dying art must be feeling pretty foolish right now.

Thanks, Industry Gamers.

In case you failed to notice, Shadow Complex is your Arcade game for this week.

It’s going for 1200 MS points from Wednesday. Several sites went live with their review today including Eurogamer, IGN, Kotaku and more.

Go catch the launch trailer over at Gamersyde.

Chair Entertainment’s Donald Mustard was at Comic-Con, and he talked a bit about Shadow Complex, the side-scrolling action title Chair’s working on with Epic.

There’s a video over on Destructiod featuring Mustard discussing weaponry, speed runs, and the foam gun which allows you to cover an enemy with quick-hardening foam or use to create a path of sorts to reach certain platforms.

Game’s out later this year on XBLA and will run you 1200 MS Points ($14.99/£10.20).

MTV Multiplayer got a chance to speak with Chair Entertainment about its upcoming Xbox Live Arcade side-scroller Shadow Complex. According to Chair co-founder Donald Mustard, his company’s game will be beatable in under two hours!

This, of course, conflicts with prior reports, which stated that running the game’s gauntlet would take anywhere from 10-15 hours. However, that’s also correct. As it turns out, Chair is including “sequence breaks” in its game. A sort of gaming artifact, sequence breaks allow players of games like Metroid to slip past sections of a game and acquire certain items before they’re supposed to.

Granted, sequence breaks are normally exploits discovered by players, but Chair claims it’s included the possibility of sequence breaks in the development of its game. Thus, the developer hopes Shadow Complex becomes the talk of the speed running town, and has even included an achievement for players who complete the game in under two hours.

Back in our day, we didn’t get any rashin-frashin points for speed runs, and we liked it. Kids these days.

Chair Entertainment, the studio responsible for the recently freely distributed Xbox Live peace offering, Undertow, has claimed the rights to create a game based on Orson Scott Card’s classic sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game, says this.

“From the moment I started working with [creative director] Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender’s Game video game,” said Card. “It’s not enough to slap the Ender’s Game name on just any game–it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible.”

No release date has been given but work is expected to start later this year.
