I just can't believe that there are people who are willing to play the game enough to level all they stuff to lv 9999, it's worse than drugs.

Pidesco Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I do hate him. He's tall and smart and a successful writer and starting a PC RPG company with the help of an awesome game designing lady. He must be evil.

deadlus Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) A bit of info about DoubleBear's game here. There will be a bigger announcement on 8/5, apparently. IIRC a few people at Obsidian are on 6 month to 1 year contracts, the rest are permanent. But certainly Brian wasn't a contractor. But if it is his volition to form his own company and do some hardcore games, he's certainly welcome. Btw how's that ex-Troika team making "Dropship" doing? I heard they use Source engine and turn-based combat. I want that. It's still in development. Laidback Gaming have updated their website with a new splash-screen some months ago. There's also a Dropship cinematic done in UE3 at Applied Cinematics' website, McCarthy worked there last year and, if you look closely, the spaceship is the same one McCarthy had shown to the Codex.

Pop Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Well. Belabored-geek-trend surfing aside, the concept is a very strong one, and this is relevant to my interests. One of the things I got bummed about when Aliens got canceled was the fact that there weren't any horrific games being created. This turns things around. At first the involvement of Iron Tower gave me pause, as the stuff I had read regarding Age of Decadence had been relatively uninteresting, the characters all fashioned from the same gray, sour-faced template and everything about it being defined more by what it wasn't than what it was. But effective horror does not necessarily require effective characterization, and the phallic thud of Codexian writing could possibly suit the setting, which is bound to be an extended riff on the Hobbesian state of war. Depending on how strategic the combat turns out to be this could be one to watch. Edited August 7, 2009 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Scavenging resources, exploring the area, dealing with other survivors, and managing a “shelter” of sorts are the main focus of the game. More on this later. -Game is open-ended. There are characters and events that could happen, but the story depends on where you go, what you do, and who you meet. Of course, there’s a lot more to this and we'll go into more details as time goes on. All in the glorious AoD engine. Why can't they use the source engine, plenty of indie developers use it well so it can't be that expensive to use. Although it wouldn't be turn based anymore...

Wrath of Dagon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The game is isometric, and I'm sure Source is way more than they can afford, since there's no financing so far as I know.

Well then they should get some financing and use Obs Onyx or Bio's Eclipse. The game idea is too good to use on the AoD engine.

Quite simply, it's ugly when compared to Eclipse and (I assume) Onyx. Now I know there is a massive difference between indie and major dev house, but I would still prefer to play it on a engine that I enjoyed aesthetically. Now I'm not saying I won't buy it if it's made with the AoD engine, just offering my opinion on what engine I would rather see it developed on.
