Seems like a good match.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Avellone is going to make a furry game?

 

[Prime Junta]

Now that would be incline.

 

[ArchAngel]

MCA did complain the past how he wants to work on RPGs that change up the common recipe and do different kinds of storytelling. Seems a game like Truce would such a RPG.

What can change the nature of a man? anthropomorphic animals and zoophiliac tendencies.

 

[throwaway]

This was so god damn predictable.

Another panel with MCA:

 

[agris]

do you guys think "DM me" meant "dominate me", as in sexually, or was it an (un)fortunate typo and he meant "PM me"?

i will check this thread again after a minimum of 3 pages have been generated in the pursuit of this critical question.

you're welcome.

 

[Space Insect]

I've heard DM a lot as a substitute for PM recently. Unfortunately your sadistic dreams may not come true.

 

[2house2fly]

DM on Twitter means Direct Message, a message that's only viewable by you and the recipient.

I instinctively distrust anyone with a numbered name.

Padua, February 8th 2017 – Gamera Interactive is proud to announce that industry veteran Chris Avellone has joined the team as Creative Consultant to assist with a brand new unannounced game based on an original fantasy IP, set to come out on PC and consoles in 2018.

Avellone has worked on several prominent RPGs, including Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Divinity: Original Sin II, and many more.
Avellone will provide creative support for the game, providing advice and feedback on design content and assisting in the creation of world lore and character backstories.

“Alberto reached out to me last year, he was incredibly friendly and pleasant, and he asked if I’d look at their world and lore and share my thoughts – and if possible, help shape them. He showed me the build of his game, described his concept, and it involves mechanics I’ve rarely had a chance to work on before. As a result, I was more than happy to help review the world and lore and see what I can do to make it a richer, deeper – and even more lethal - place” said Chris Avellone.

“As owner of the studio I’m pleased to welcome Chris on board for this ambitious project that will keep the team busy for months to come. As a passionate player I’m excited to collaborate with the man who created some of the games that I loved the most. Chris has played a key role in shaping western RPGs and he is now working with us. Can’t wait to say more about this project!” said Gamera CEO Alberto Belli.

Gamera Interactive is ready to reveal the first details of the game later this month during the Game Developer Conference 2017, taking place in San Francisco.

wtf is this

Here it is: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02...e-four-kingdoms-announced-for-pc-and-consoles

The idea appears to be to offer a combat system modern players will immediately understand and gel with, but set within a truly old-school setting, allowing for the story complexities (Game of Thrones is a constant touchstone for Belli) and open-ended nature of classic CRPGs, like Planescape: Torment or Fallout 2.

That’s presumably where Chris Avellone - director-designer on, er, Planescape: Torment and Fallout 2 - comes in. Gamera has brought in the founder of RPG specialist Obsidian as a creative consultant to help create the world’s lore and character backstories, as well as provide feedback on its overall design, which he describes as involving “mechanics I’ve rarely had a chance to work on before.”

Also:

Goldport = Lannisport, lion crest with half-red background, "the Four Kingdoms". GoT as a constant touchstone indeed.

This sounds good, though:

The emphasis is very much on replayability - aside from added customisation and the ability to try new things on each run, different areas of the Overworld will unlock depending on how you play, there are multiple AI companions to meet and recruit, and characters can be imported from previous playthroughs to further their skills.

“There is not a real ‘main quest’,” explains Belli, “but a dynamic world changing for each run due to world politics, the things you do, the background you have. It’s virtually infinite.” He brings up the feeling of starting and restarting a game of Mount & Blade - the concept reminds me more of the promise of a board game, with set rules but hundreds of variables.

M&B, FO2 and PS:T are good inspirations to have, but also a tall order. Guess we'll see.
