BTW, one of the interesting things posted on the Basilisk boards is that they like the old school Lands of Lore/Eye of the Beholder type of engines and will make a game like that in the future.

 

[Ladonna]

Yes.

 

[Kingston]

Yes.

 

[spacemoose]

no

 

[spacemoose]

I mean yes

Cool!

And yes, I'm interested in the "will definitely try the demo" sense.

 

[Claw]

Maybe.

 

[Atrachasis]

Cautiously optimistic. I am quite enthusiastic about what we have heard about gameplay so far (dialogues, quest design, cartography...). What I have seen of the setting (high fantasy, magic, goblins) does little to excite me, but I guess that is part of what they refer to as "old school", and it does not bother me either. And at least there are no elves.

I just wish we were told a little more about the main plot than "conspiracy and betrayal". Still, as far as it goes, that sounds promising.

 

[Volrath]

It depends on how their TB/RT combat hybrid is going to turn out.

 

[Elhoim]

Yeah, I'm optimistic about it.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

Demo would be nice.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Very optimistic. Thomas promised me a preview copy, so expect a Codex preview.

 

[Ladonna]

Make sure you don't ruin any sales with that preview.

Professional VD....remember?

 

[Twinfalls]

Good God yes! How can anybody watch that trailer and not be optimistic? Depth and polish, those star-crossed lovers cruelly kept apart for so long...

 

[Bradylama]

Uh, yeah, uh yeah, yeah uh. Nana nana.

Elwro's thinking along the same lines as I.

It certainly looks interesting, but, as most of you probably know, looks can be deceiving.

(OT: Holy crap! I actually spelled deceiving right on the first try! Woot!)

 

[Palikka]

Thomas promised me a preview copy, so expect a Codex preview.

It's in the mail, huh?

 

[OSK]

Yes.

What's this RT/TB hybrid talk? I thought it was purely TB.

 

[Durwyn]

Hmmm.... Yes? Or maybe No? Ahh my head is going to blow...

 

[Jasede]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes please yes.

mNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Saxon1974]

Very excited about this game. Its about the only game that is exactly the type that I love that is currently being made.

Quite amazed at the polish for an indy demo, I didnt expect nearly as much as was done with the effects and animation.
