<a href=http://www.gamershell.com>Gamer's Hell</a> have got a pair of movies from D.W. Bradley's fantasy action RPG Dungeon Lords <a href=http://www.gamershell.com/news/20133.html>up for download</a>. They're both around 11.5 MB.<blockquote>DreamCatcher Games sent us two gameplay movies from Dungeon Lords, a 3D fantasy RPG designed, written and developed by award-winning computer game author, D.W. Bradley ("Wizards & Warriors" and three of the legendary "Wizardry" titles) and his team at Heuristic Park. The game promises non-stop game action and exploration in full 3rd person 3D, including outdoor wilderness, swamps, forests, mountains, arctic lands, towns, villages, castles, dungeons, temples, caves, and forbidden ruins. It will also offer lots of quests, missions, items, weaponry, magic spells and powerful artifacts. Dungeon Lords will be released in April.</blockquote>Gamer's Hell also mentions that a demo for the game, which was supposed to be released <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=5093>a long time ago</a> but <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=5181>wasn't</a>, should be availible sometime around the release date.

Looks like fun.

Different content from the movies available at Heuristic Park, too.

Oh well, at least me and Digit are excited...

 

[errorcode]

i'm excited for you and Digit....does that count?

 

[Fez]

Only if there is going to be sex and a webcam involved.

 

[errorcode]

if there is, there better be booze and money involved too

 

[Fez]

I'll be buying booze with the money I get from the video, will that do?

 

[errorcode]

meh...fair enough

 

[Shagnak]

Err...nah, you'll need to get me shitfaced on booze before I'll agree to appear in your video.

Oh no...CATCH 22.

Need money from the video for booze, but need booze to get participants in the video. What will we do...?

Involve Cameron Diaz and Mila Jovavich and I'll do it fer free...*hick*...

 

[Digit]

Now thats more like it. Nice sound and a huge increase in performance from the last video that was released! I really excited.
About the videos you understand...

Hmmm

I get suspicious whenever developers/publishers ask us to wait till the gam'es out before making a demo available.
Suspicious i say.

With the exception of Half Life 2 and Doom 3, I find that unpolished/unfinished games seldom release demos before the game itself is released. Games in a complete and polished state are much quicker to release demos - like most recently Act of War, and Republic Commando.

I'm a bit weary to try Dungeon Lords if a demo isn't released prior to the game.

I’m pretty excited about this title as I think it has potential. But I too am weary; I will wait till I read up on the reactions of the game before deciding if it’s worth it to buy.

 

[Digit]

Fear not, I and Shagnak will buy it upon release, and then come crying back here when it doesn't work out.

Or defend it in an unreasonable manner when we find that we are the only ones that like it :wink:

Combat is turn-based . Basically, you attack by clicking the left mouse button and block with the right. Each weapon has a range rating, so it's important to time your strikes appropriately. The pace is quite reasonable, but the fact blows knock you back adds some complexity, as does assailants often coming at you in groups.

WTF??
More crap-tastic mechanics bungling by a (p)reviewer.
