Risen - Q&A @ PixelRage

PixelRage sends word of a (very) short Q&A with Piranha Bytes' artist Ralf Marcinczik about Risen.  No new revelations about the gameplay but we do find out the development is a good way along:

Pixel : When are we going to see Risen / what is the current status ?
Ralf Marczinczik : We are entering the polishing and debugging phase with alarming speed.
