Some new smaller bits of info. Among them, he confirms that there will be a reputation system and not alignment (FFFFF YEAH!). It will also have guns.

They have an engine already. But it's probably not Onyx. Urgh I'm confused.

[hiptanaka]

Very nice! Glad to hear Tim Cain is working on the game system. Everything about this game sounds great.

[Kilroy_Was_Here]

mmm... he mentions cake.

 

I like cake.

[Bos_hybrid]

Thanks for the link.

[Flouride]

Sweet. The more I hear about it, more anxious I get waiting for the game or some info about the world/lore

[mkreku]

Hmm..

 

I wonder what this story will be like. I may sound dumb, but I much prefer quite simple, yet powerful stories as opposed to intricate, political stories. If they have a clever twist, even better.

 

I'm still not sure this will be a game for me. NEED TO KNOW MORE

[Goran]

Thanks for the link

Me too, but the cake explanation helped. Everything is easier to understand with cake.

[Dem]

Thumbs up for reputation over alignment.

Till the engine is revelead this is going to be the part I'm worrying about the most. Is it an engine suited to Obsidian games. Or do they need to fumble around in it to get certain things to work?

[Infinitron]

I'm almost certain they're using a fork of Onyx with a different name.

[Crosmando]

Unity is capable of both 2D and 3D graphics (I think), and with Wasteland 2 already well into development using it, they could collaborate with InXile and eliminate some overhead costs by sharing experiences with the engine.

For a fun-funded and fan-driven project, I must say they are being quite tight-lipped about the whole thing. There's no NDA now, guys!

 

Or is it just me being impatient?

You are one impatient Swede, mkreku.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

[Malcador]

Well, am interested to find out more about the guns, heh.

[dlux]

He mentions that they have an engine... well what is it then?

Feargus wrote a message on the kickstarter board abour 12 hours ago stating that they have not decided on an engine yet.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

[Troller]

Nice to hear some more info so we can stop arguing to deaTh here in the forums

No he didn't

 

@Bruce Nope, sorry - nothing on the engine just yet.

[Gazoinks]

Mm, cake...

 

Sorry, what? Oh yeah, good interview.

 

I also quite like the sound of taking our heroes through future adventures, BG (or ME) style. One thing that I find interesting though is that they're aiming for a franchise, which means they could end up as a full-fledged indie development studio. That'd be sweet. :D

"retro isometric, text-driven RPG"

 

Made my day, don't worry about fancy voice actors or graphics Tim, just give us a memorable story and we won't complain a bit.

[Maerr]

My favourite part

 

"Is killing always evil? Is the act of sacrificing someone for the greater good a good act in itself? Does doing good things make a person good?"

 

I love ethical choices. And mostly the ones, where there isn't a "perfect/good choice". I would gladly see a situation where main hero will have to choose between sacrificing one of his companions, or lives of thousends of peoples. If he choose to keep companion, he (companion) will fell guilty and later in game will commit suicide. On the other hand those saved peoples later in game will cause a war, where millions will die.
