Fantastic news, best of luck to both of you, here's hoping the fruit of your labour will deliver on the expectations.
I'd like to second Mr.Teatime's question, how are they related to Iron Tower?

Great news. Finally, a indie rpg that stands an excellent chance of seeing the light of day.

(that isn't an indictment on VD, it's just the observation that someone with a long history of work in the CRPG industry is more likely to be capable of finishing such a project. Heck, AoD might end up being brilliant, and might come out next year, but given the rate of failure of such projects, you can't blame us for taking a 'let's be supportive but quietly skeptical, until the thing actually ships' approach).
The Black Hound. Lay down your arms for all hope is lost!
Or in other words: Any indy game can turn out fine/vapourware. Whether industry veterans are involved or not.

That aside, awesome news. Now they just need to get some PR pointers from Bio and Assassin's Creed so that Annie shows us her great tits:

Eh, I mean her awesome boobies:

PS: You didn't think a thread about Annie would go without mention of birds for long, did you?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Finish AOD already. :x

No. There is a lot more to it, but I'll let Brian explain when he has time.

Correction: Any game turn out fine/vaporware.

Aliens
Arx Fatalis 2
Fallout 3 - the BIS version
BG3: Black Hound
TORN
Elvion
Ken Rolston's RPG
LotR: The White Council
Dungeon Keeper 3
The Roots
And at least 5 more mainstream games that were announced when I was posting news, but never materialized.

I also hope they make the game fantasy with magic.
No.

And class based.
No.

I've read the very extensive design doc and it's pretty fucking awesome. The Codex kinda awesome.

That could mean anything, from a Fallout-style open world game with tons of ways to solve quests to a Wizardry-like FP dungeon crawler full of furry races.

Great news. If this comes off we could be in for a new age of decent gaming, hopefully Brian's music analogy is correct. Not so correct it involves sleeping on peoples floors and pimping t shirts for food though.

Good luck Mitsoda and Carlson! ITS is the new Black Isle.
What exactly has Annie done in her career to warrant a comparison to Black Isle?

She was the lead writer on a project (SoZ) that had Bethesda quality writing.
And yet, you guys are making it seem like she's capable of making a game on par with Trioka/Black Isle? WTF guys?
