Looking good. Simple but effective, and highly polished.

Something that caught my eye - "Virtuous Kessain Rogue" seems like it could be a reactive measure to how good/bad you decide to be.

Can't wait to read an interview.

 

[Necropennis]

Looks sharp, although the interface seems a bit too big for me. The graphics look like Ultima Online mixed with Geneforge (which is good)

I noticed that too. Would be nice

 

[crpgnut]

Yep, this'll be nice if Oblivion turns out to be crap. I'm enjoying Minions of Mirth but I would love to play a new turn-based game. The text about the door was classic.

 

[Whipporowill]

I can't help thinking that coloured ui font is both damned ugly and bit too big.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

UI is pretty big but I like what I see graphics and text wise. I am assuming we can bash through doors as well as lock pick them then?

 

[EvilManagedCare]

Of all the things one can comment on about the screenshots, the text description of the room was what got my attention. I hope they have lots of text like that. I remember how ToEE hadit in the tutorial but nowhere else, which was disappointing.

This games looks to have potential, how I hope it doesn't suck.

 

[HardCode]

The descriptions of your surroundings is neat. I like the Perception Skill (!) - a carryover from Wasteland. I bet that drives the descriptions of your surrounding. I really like that.

I am just wondering in the attack roll numbers are going to show in the dialog window in-game, or is it just there because the game is under development?

The About page of the website is short and sweet and it sounds like they know what an RPG game is.

 

[Lady Armageddona]

Looks good. Visually looks like (greatly) enhanced Geneforge. (small wonder, as the engine was licenced). Otherwise looks promising. Tons more promising than other much hypen about crap.

 

[FrancoTAU]

What engine did they license?

Looks good enough for me. Like some others said, looks like Geneforge on steroids. Here's hoping that the gameworld is well balanced so i don't have to be a jack of all trades character to get by.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Geneforge, obviously, but with better graphics.

 

[Lady Armageddona]

Well, some time ago, I read tha Jeff Vogel had licenced an engine for the use in the Geneforge games (probably here on this first forum).

And I don't care for playing a jack-of-all trades character, providing that the game has a good story, world, skills, combat and quests. Hell, new titles are so bad and so crappy sounding even at hype level, that I'd take only one of those done good to make up my day and enjoy the game, while the rest is in the crap-mediocre range. Tha't would be loads better than having everything I like in a RPG in the crap-mediocre range.

 

[Country_Gravy]

This game looks like it has more potential than any game I have seen in the past 6 months....Except mabye AoD.

 

[Jora]

I just hope this is more than just an old school dungeon crawl.

 

[LlamaGod]

this better be easy to keygen

I hope that's sarcasm.
