There's an interview with Swen Vincke on GamesIndustry.biz talking with the CEO of Larian Studios on how "failure is important for creativity," though he also warns of the risks of too much failure, talking about the make-or-break release Divinity: Original Sin was for the company. Larian is still not playing it safe, as RPG Codex translates a portion of a French article outlining the company's plans to eventually make annual releases (thanks Gamer's Hell). Here's word:

Lonely Vazdru is also French, IIRC.

I'm Afraid I am indeed. As for Google translate, it did an adequate job, rough sounding but understandable and conveying the original text meaning.

Focus Home Interactive= Warhammer games and Styx
Deck 13=Lords of the Fallen and Venetica

At least everyone on deck have RPG and turn based gameplay experience.

Hey, pretty cool. Maybe this can spawn a sizable scene of Euro-RPG's that are better than their foreign counterparts, similar to how European cinema beats Hollywood handily.

Though I'm unclear why the writing team is being hyped up with a picture where they pose in front of a D:OS poster.

Shit game detected.

 

[Roguey]

Aw, AlphaChar isn't one of Lesi's bootlickers, but she is twitter pals with twitter pals of hers and follows some other amusing accounts.

 

[Zed]

hope they're capable of writing some gorey murder mystery shit with cool plots and 1000 alternative solutions.

we all know murder mysteries are the best quests.

some coherent narrative would be nice too.

Well, the saving grace is the team is all men, so there won't be a lot of bullshit melodrama.
