Three years after his unsuccessful 2012-2013 Kickstarter forays, Betrayal at Krondor writer and co-creator Neal Hallford has resurfaced with a new project. He's decided to teach himself to develop with Amazon's new CryEngine-based Amazon Lumberyard engine, by creating a remake of a small portion of Betrayal at Krondor which he's calling Betrayal at Krondor: Remastered. The ultimate objective, of course, is to use that knowledge to create an RPG of his own at some point. But for now, he's going to be publishing regular development updates for the remastered Krondor. The first one just showed up on YouTube:


We'll be keeping an eye on this project. More information is available on Neal's new blog, where he's also been publishing a fascinating series of posts about the history of Betrayal at Krondor's development. Definitely check that out if you're a fan of the game - Neal's writing talent has not diminished.
