Fearsome
Jack, you are a HORRIBLE tease.



I love it.
Aveline
New game?

oohh,is this the so called RPG you've been working on recently?

:P
jack1974
Yes, writer will do weekly (more or less) posts to introduce the game world, characters, etc. Everything is still in the early stages so we don't want to reveal too much at once :)
Aveline
Good,take your time with this one !!

shape it to perfection !!
abnaxus
I'm intrigued.



Which writer is working on this, btw? Bionic Heart writer, Aleema or brand new one?
jack1974
Is a brand new one, but in my opinion really good 8) He helped me already last summer to outline the plot for Loren 2 even if so far nothing from him appears in my games, but this is going to change in the next months.

The steampunk idea was originally from another writer who contacted me 2 years ago, but he made only the storyboard and then couldn't find the time to write it. I liked the idea though, so when Mark (the name of the new writer) contacted me, I thought to have him revise that storyboard and make a game based on a Steampunk world. The result is quite different and it's an alternate 1930 world. But I'm already saying too much! He'll make some introductory posts himself shortly :wink:

Such a cruel tease!

I love steampunk so I'm really excited!



(First post, hello! :3)
Aveline
is it a detective story ??



ok,ok.. I'll zip it for now and wait for the writer to introduce the whole thing.

So this game is steampunk. Forgive for sounding stupid but does that mean like Arcanum by Troika?



Im hoping this game goes a similar route with guns than all out fantasy like Loren. Or melee weapons and guns (both) would be cool too.
jack1974
Yes Arcanum is a good example, though there's no magic in this game. There will be both melee and guns, and maybe some exotic/weird weapons, considering the provenience of certain party members...
MarSel
What about the main character? I prefer it when they have a unique weapon from everyone else :)
jack1974
Haven't yet discussed the various skills, also because I am not sure yet what engine I'll use for this game - if the new one is ready I would like to use that, otherwise Loren's one. Anyway yes the plan is to have some unique skills for each character, and it might be associated to a specific (sometimes unique) weapon type.

Yes, it will be more 'realistic' than Loren, in terms of setting, skills, weaponry, and technology. The trick is to make the combat tactically interesting in a world with accurate and accessible guns.

Wow its been a long time since we had any news from this game, is there anything that you can share Jack?
jack1974
I got a bunch of texts + some interesting gameplay ideas around November last year (I think, maybe was October?). Fen is working on this in his spare time but he's really committed to finish it. I really can't make any predictions, but this is one of the games where I'll wait to have the full plot done before starting art, so hopefully will be able to pick the most appropriate CGs, and so on :)

Also I'll be able to use the new RPG framework which should fit better a setting like this one where you have guns, because of ammo, reloading times, etc that with Loren's framework is a bit tricky to do.

This game looks very promising. Will have to tell my sister and nephew about? Oh, I'm sure when the demo comes out I'll play it and buy it, but I'm still busy dumping out paper to recycle and go knew everything to put it in its proper place in the home. But, I'm sure this winter cleaning will be work out fine. 8)
MarSel
How I miss the weekly or just over sneak previews. Seems like ages since the last...
jack1974
Well, it was A WHILE indeed. I'd say at least 6 months! Hopefully he'll have time to do more of them soon :oops:
