Well it is about time TL had its own topic about this upcoming game (should come out by end of July) that got me excited as soon as I found out about it 3 months ago. It is done by a small indie developer from Croatia.
If I had to describe this game in few words, I would say this is Morrowind meets Diablo + its own unique elements. What are main features of this upcoming game: - Open, large and rich fantasy game world: meaning a sandbox with no loading screens and no level scaling (like Morrowind)
- Free character development: meaning no classes but you get access to both martial and magic skills and decide on your own how to level your character and find good combinations - Powerful spell creation system gives unlimited possibilities and easy use, if you have magic runes. Just drag them to the slots in the spell panel. Name them, give a representing icon and level (faith consumption). Click create and your magic icon will appear in the inventory. Then drag a spell into one of the slots.
- Unlocking System with Runes: using specific runes players can interactively unlock and activate locked chests or crates and other mechanisms in the game. You will find and collect these runes as you adventure. This is not just another minigame that is awesome at first but becomes a chore later. With limited number of runes at any time, you will need to choose where to open first.
- Adaptable creature AI: depending whether it is day or night, creatures spawn and act differently. Weather conditions also influence a monster's behavior
A new trailer just came out yesterday (NOTE: Unfortunately this video was made inhouse on a 4 year old computer so it does not showcase what this engine can really do. They said future trailers will be done better):
The game almost is done, they only need to pay for Voice Over and for some plugins they used from other people. They ask for 25 000$, the game will be out in February 2013 and they state it is for hardcore RPG players. On the kickstarter page is the new trailer. Check out the trailer and game info. This is the kind of RPG players should support.
I wish I could edit my original post and add new info there but I couldn't so I put all here. The trailer in 1st post is an old one, like 6 months old.
just like to point out this is a single player game still, if you like open world, roaming to your death, & open customer characterisation, this looks awesome i wonder what the SURPRISE GIFT is for the 1k backing...HRMM edit: they do say they may or will add multiplayer, but it might be only if there is enough interest in the game

It looks pretty interesting. The runes system sounds like Path of Exile's skill gem system which works great and opens up a lot of fun options. Will be keeping an eye on this one.

No DRM. No level scaling for creatures. Multiple AI behaviors based on moral of creature and time of day. More content for people that like to play on harder difficulties. Sounds awesome to me. I am sure going to try my 1st game on Hard.

No, this is not Diablo. This is single player RPG with explorations and quests and everything. Only thing it got from Diablo is one click one attack and no pause.

Well I am also more excited for Project Eternity, I like team based RPG more. But this game crafting and spell creation mechanics sound good and it is out in 2 months while Project Eternity is out in 1+ years. Even Wasteland 2 is not out at least before end of summer 2013. A nice RPG needs to fill the time between now and then

I know I skipped a few updates, but they were not that interesting. But this one has a new gameplay video and more of Zrinka
Check it out guys (at least to see the hottest game producer around) and girls, you can get this awesome RPG now for as low as 15$ if you support them on kickstarter and the game is out around the end of February. They are almost to their goal.

BTW, kickstarter ends in 37h so if you want to get it cheap or want to support them with a bit more $ now is the time. We are trying to reach the 45 000 $ stretch goal so they are able to release very powerful Mod tools with the game (one of the updates is about those tools as well).
