Hello Planet #6 on the ManiaPlanet Blog has an update from Nadeo on ManiaPlanet, their gaming platform, as well as the latest on their mania for games TrackMania and ShootMania (QuestMania goes unmentioned). As usual, this is a lengthy post, and covers a wide variety of topics in catching up with everything the developer is doing (thanks Frans). The conclusion indicates they are hoping the company's roughest stretches are behind them:

We have spent a lot of time underwater and we know that’s difficult to wait, including for us. That’s why it’s also very important to stay positive in difficult times. There is only a few months to hold on, and i hope that the ascending slope of the upcoming years be more clearer as we get there. We are also working on production and visuals, but this will take more time before we’ll be able to show this work. Ubisoft is fully behind this project, and thanks to the players who have been there all those years is seems obvious that there is something amazing to do with Maniaplanet.
