:shock: Wow, the game graphics look kinda cool. And they don't bleed your eyes! That's an improvement.

:gfxwhore:

 

I was about to say the same, however I must add that the indoors are disproportional to the furniture, too much empty space in between stuff.

 

sweet jesus yes

 

Early 2011. Can't wait, goddamn.

And look at that character art! It's actually not atrocious! Progress!

 

I agree with that, but it is early game. There's plenty of time left to sort such stuff out. But he could have thought up a better/more original name.

I can't wait for this to come out, being a huge fan of Avernum and Geneforge. Good luck Vogel

 

Starting with one character and recruiting bullshit NPCs?



Decline of Spiderweb.

 

why do you lie

 

The art and UI looks pretty nice and the skill tree looks like a good addition. Interested to see how this turns out.

 

"epic"

Yeah right.

 

the rugs looks like baldurs gate 2 graphics.

 

Getting better.

 

But will it have gay elf butt sex?

 

Unless it's a cathederal or sum such other public building - not just somone's lounge room :shock:

 

Wow, Vogel finally makes a game that doesn't have a five-year-old directing the art.

 

Why is this bad?

 

I found my love in Avadon,
Beside the bay.
I left my love in Avadon,
And I sailed away.
I dream of her in Avadon
From dusk 'til dawn.
So I think I'll travel on
To Avadon.

 

Will there be walking animation in this one finally?

The character portraits do look alot better.

 

Geneforge and Avernum have been the last series to allow you to create your own party. Meaning you have to think about your party composition. And also meaning that you can't have pre-scripted part emotional engagement a la Bioware.

 

Looks cool. Better than I expected.

 

Just hid the equivalent of 30 Dollars under my pillow which will find its way into the bearded man's pockets in Seattle next year. I see that Vogel gave up on the idea of using a 3D engine which is fine with me as I can't imagine that it's possible to create passable 3D models and worlds with his restricted resources (both employees and annually release schedule). It looks good the way it is though the shadows are missing right now.

And whoever skips Vogel's games because of the graphics deserves shit like Mass Effect 2 rammed down their throat. Many youngster around here sadly haven't been hardened by the graphics from the early 90s (or even 80s :shock: ).

 

Wow, looks sweet. If the story and dialogues are on pair with previous games, this will be p. awesome. As long as there are no furries.

 

The third screen makes me wish that the game would feature tasteful rape.
