KKnD 3, finally

As mentioned in my last log post, there was a number of petitions, begging for KKnD 3.
For quite a long time, Wikipedia said the following:
"Although it was originally rumored that Melbourne House had another KKnD game in the works, they closed down in 2010."
I removed this phrase and added info about the actual third KKnD game.

There was basically no KKnD3, instead the third game was a spin-off named KKnD: Infiltrator. Those of you with sharp eyes might have noticed these wallpapers on planet.kknd2.com or other websites:


They were sketched down in 1999 by Chris Jones who worked as Lead Cinema Artist on KKnD 2. In 2012 he posted two more artworks on his blog that were part of the cancelled Infiltrator game:


Craig Duturbure who was one of KKnD 2's designers stated that he worked on KKnD: Infiltrator.
Hess Barber worked on KKnD Infiltrator, too, probably as designer or 3D modeler.

In Retro Gamer issue 37, Justin Halliday (Producer of KKnD 2) talked about the development of KKnD: Infiltrator. He said "it is best described as an action driving game, with the player taking the role of a dirt bike scout who must undertake a series of dangerous missions". The article also tells us, that Infiltrator was cancelled and the engine was used for Mad Max, which was later cancelled due to license problems.
