Beamdog working on a new D&D CRPG (cancelled)

Hmm, she removed this page. I didn't think there were revealing things, and now I don't remember what kind of things were there.

The other page (which includes Golden Lords art and isometric sketches, that I thought more revealing) is still there.

Beamdog was on a local TV news about local gaming industry. Naturally cameramen shot the monitors.

Seemingly full 3D, that cover icons a la nuXCOM, environment objects look conveniently aligned for square grid. Is this... turn-based? o_O

And very obviously it's Unreal Engine 4 (which was revealed via job postings).


This is the news video: http://alberta.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1217064

I didn't watched it myself because it's Flash video player so if anyone cares...

Dull 3d? From this studio I think that guarantee's crapola

 

[Infinitron]

Looks to be snowing, no?

Vesperin was a human country in the land of the Vast in the 15th century, comprising the cities of Calaunt, Ravens Bluff, and Tantras.

Doesn't look like it snows in the Vast. Not to mention that road looks like it's paved.

Wow turn based D&D 5...

Wow turn based D&D 5...

I have a feeling that the ruleset will bear little resemblance to 5E.

Beamdog reportedly has two unannounced projects. One is D&D CRPG (as revealed by job postings) directed by David Gaider, and the other is quite unknown.

So here's my wild guess:

D&D CRPG
- probably not that monitor is showing
- likely "traditional" IE-style RPG and set in Forgotten Realms
- related to the concept artist's pieces

Turn-based tactics a la nuXCOM
- probably not a D&D game and possibly Beamdog's original IP
- using Unreal Engine 4
- being developed for PC and consoles
- set in modern-ish or sci-fi setting (that road and the computer device model from environment artist's portfolio)

Though I'm not sure they have that many developers to handle two not-so-small game. Maybe two are the same game and they dropped the other project(s) in favor of the D&D game.

In b4 "solve the mystery of snow in the Vast"

In that video you can see a horseless coach on the side of the road. Fits the past fantasy more than something sci fi

But cover indicators suggest shooting, so wild west themed nuxcom like is my guess.

 

[Jenkem]

forgotten realms is dumb

if they are making a D&D game why not Ravenloft, it would fit in with Beamdog's degeneracy a lot better imo

 

[Morkar Left]

Warhammer Fantasy RPG with Slaanesh cultists please...

Wait, is that a cow you can take cover behind?

 

[Morkar Left]

Yeah, that's totally odd. In Western movies you usually use horses for cover in a shoot out...

 

[Jimmious]

Well having covers doesn't mean that the game will be turn-based necessarily.... But I hope it is. Whatever it is

It's a tactical bovine.

Maybe it's steampunk.

 

[JarlFrank]

Maybe it's Arcanum 2.

 

[Citizen]

Maybe it's Arcanum 2.

From beamdoge? More like Arcanum: EE.

 

[Morality Games]

With WotC/HASBRO being the way they are I have to wonder if the D&D game is still (really) in production.

 

[fantadomat]

Maybe it's Arcanum 2.

Please don't do this!God have some nasty taste of humour.

 

[JarlFrank]

Arcanum 2 by Beamdog: where (((Gnomes))) are totally innocent victims of baseless conspiracy theories.

Yeah and this is the ending i will go for:

I think steampunk is out of vogue these days.

 

[Jaesun]

They are never going to be making a turn-based D&D game.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Why "never"?
