If you're wondering if this mod will be released at all, here's an unconfirmed rumor for you:

==Rumors say Neil Manke may be dead==
I was looking around for updates to THLS and found a link to a post on Shacknews where someone who knows Einar Saukas (one of the developers) emailed him to ask what was happening and Einar confessed that Neil Manke is very ill. So it doesn't look good for the mod, but I hope Neil gets better." [http://www.moddb.com/games/they-hunger-lost-souls/page/3#comments]

Rumors say Neil Manke may be dead

If you're wondering if this mod will be released at all, rumors on Shacknews [1] suggest that Neil Manke (the head level designer who also made They Hunger series) may be dying or dead. (I haven't found anything else about Manke on the net. Valve apparently hasn't heard from him either.)

"Its been a while since we've heard news from They Hunger Lost Souls and guess what - I know Einar Saukas (one of the creators together with Manke) and he just confessed that Manke is very ill in Canada and the game has been jeopardized. Dunno whats gonna happen now" - VISOR103 May 08, 2009
