It's been a while since we've heard anything from Secret of the Solstice, but today we have no choice but to announce that it is no more... specifically, because the game is undergoing a major upgrade. Changing its name to Solstice Reborn, Outspark's isometric free-to-play game is getting a wide variety of improvements including an overhauled UI, a number of 3-D graphical improvements, and a wide variety of new quests and enemies added to the existing gameplay.

The game is also heavily tilting toward the social networking side of play, and not just via integration to Facebook. Several new elements tie in directly to social interactions, such as the Marriage quests and the new Master and Pupil system. Whether you've never tried the original game or just want to see what the changes are, Solstice Reborn looks to be an interesting update to an older game and a fun ride for anyone willing to give it a shot.

Plus, if you're into winning free trips to San Francisco, the Outspark team is holding a contest to fly you and a friend out to WonderCon 2011. Check the official forums for more info!

Marriage? Hopefully a San Francisco based developer named Outspark will include a same-sex option.

@RizzRustbolt Or you could just create opposite sex characters... Since no one else really cares about your orientation but you'll still get to get married in game.

It's okay to be gay/lesbian, it's okay to be proud of it too. It's also possible to go overboard with it... Like having a fit if you aren't able to be a gay ogre in a video game...

Not wanting to have to roll opposite-sex characters just to take advantage of an ingame feature is hardly "having a fit," and your comment is a massive overreaction to what RizzRustbolt said. If nobody else really cares about my orientation, it shouldn't be a big deal to just allow the marriage feature to work with all characters.
