Chair: More Shadow Complex is 'a question of when'

It has been nearly two years since Chair Entertainment wowed us with its action-platformer
Shadow Complex, but we still frequently think about how badly we want to return to its technology-filled catacombs. Apparently, we're not the only ones -- in a
recent [some of you might have noticed -- as we just did -- the original article actually went up during PAX East. Sorry we missed it the first time around!] interview with
Eurogamer, Chair creative director Donald Mustard said, "More
Shadow Complex isn't a question of if, it's a question of when," later adding, "
Shadow Complex is our baby and we love it dearly and, y'know, we're working on some cool stuff [in general]."
Mustard wouldn't go into more detail about the project, but it doesn't sound like the studio's interested in bringing the original title to smartphones. He said, "
Shadow Complex is designed for a controller. I'm not a fan of trying to shoehorn console controls onto touch screens. They don't feel right. You just lose so much precision." Sure, but do you really need much precision when you're wielding a gun that sprays entire hallways with a deluge of foam? We think not.
