Game News New indie game - Eschalon: Book I

[FrancoTAU]

The Basilisk guy got back to me on email. Seems like a nice enough guy. It looks to be a trilogy and will most likely be party based in the future. Alpha testing is already going on, so it's not vaporware.

Hopefully VD gets a more in depth interview/preview.

Please be turn-based

dp but it was nice.

Please be turn-based

?

A turn-based yet fluid combat system keeps the action feeling near real-time

 

[LlamaGod]

Okay, I didn't see that.

Shut up.

He replied to me as well. We'll do an interview in a couple of weeks. Right now we have an inteview with David Gaider coming up.

You do what now? I'll be looking forward to that one then as VD vs Gaider sounds like good fun.

Single player. Turn based. Stat heavy. Story driven.

Too good to be true...

It's done, will be posted shortly.

Hopefully the white arrow on the other screenshot doesn't indicate that the game will be using that awfully annoying Ultima movement system, where you have to hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor in the desired direction. Other than that (and maybe the overly simplistic, styleless interface), the game looks and sounds promising.

I'm wet already. Bring it on!

 

[Gwendo]

An Avernum-like game?

Hopefully they will take away that see things on the other side of the closed door. The explaining text about you hearing something should be warning enough. Hopefully you would hear something due to a "perception/hearing" skill.
