The mentioning of Darklands sounds interesting too.

Thanks for coming by! Sorry about that – should be activated now.

Dragon Pass is actually one of the big inspirations for the game, so hopefully you’ll like what we’re doing.

Despite knowing very little about the game I was hooked by the IGF description.
In my mind it sounded like a story driven king of Dragon Pass, and I lvoe that game.
If it turns out completely different I won’t start crying though.

Have fun.

Once we’ll have more details about the game and maybe some screenshots I would be happy to take an interview from you.

Although I never played “King of Dragon Pass” I heard lots of good things about it.

If the cRPG element of your game will be done right , with meaningful choices and consequences and smart dialogs – then I and many other would be very interested to hear more…

If you are into cRPG’s I highly suggest to visit IronTower forums here :

So far, we’ve been quiet about the game on purpose – we’re trying to make sure the game has come far enough to be interesting before we show it off too much, although we’re getting pretty close now.

The game plays like a strategy game, but with a heavy dose or roleplaying game mechanics for the characters. The game is inspired in many ways by the old Microprose RPG Darklands and by the more recent independent title King of Dragon Pass – there’s a lot of stuff in both of those games that we love, and the game uses a lot of what we liked best. The economy is still taking shape, but it’s not an economy-based game. If you’ve ever played the Europa Universalis series or other Paradox games (with the exception of Victoria), the economy is shaping up more along those lines.

More details as soon as we can! Thanks for the interest!

First of all I’ve registered at the forums about a week ago but the account is still inactive.

Second, after reading about the game I still have absolutely no idea what kind of game are you making..
cRPG ? TBS (turn based strategy) ? RTS ?
In what “age” will it take place ?
Will it have orcs, elves and all the other too common creatures from other games ?
Will it be economy based like settlers or more combat oriented ?
Also I didn’t see any screenshot yet.

I hope you will reveal more details soon.

Thanks
Maxim.
