Can\'t wait...
 

Really looking forward to this one.

I see the demo is supposed to be out next week. Will it give you a taste of the modability of the game? My favorite feature of Space Empires is it's modability. But unfortunatly (I think anyway) you can't really see that from the demo for it.

My biggest question is: "STORY?"

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

I am interested in modability also. I just got Dungeon Siege about 2 weeks ago and found that it is modable. My SE4G time has gone to zero because I spend all my time on Dungeon Siege, playing it then modding it then playing some more. If Dungeon Odyssey is like that it should be a good to great game. I am looking forward to the demo so I can see how it compares.

This looks great! Can't wait. I love playing Angband so this looks very much like it with better graphics. I can't wait to see how you can mod it. Should be a bLast to play!!!

I'm certainly looking forward to a new fantasy game; maybe I can even get my girlfriend to play this one... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

I hope:
1. There's a decent movement interface (NOT clicking on awkwardly oriented buttons with the mouse) that does not involve the numeric keypad, because I'm using a laptop. (OK, I *could* set some of my regular keys to act like a numeric keypad, but then they're slanted...) Hm, how about "left click somewhere to try to move there"?
2. It's not one of those RPG's where you have to compulsively save and reload... that's the reason I don't play CRPG's anymore is because I'm so compulsive! Nethack and ADOM are OK though, because it doesn't take as long to play... hope this game is kind of like those in that way...

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

When is the demo going to come out? I'm dying to try this thing. I LOVE games that can make random levels. The icons look alot like the ones in Angband. I'm sure the controls will work out fine.

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Movement is done by left-clicking where you want to go.

Yay! <hopes DO has better movement AI than SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif >

edit: OK, I was TRYING to say, <hopes DO has better movement than SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif >... where did everything before the > go????

edit2: COME ON NOW!!! where did everything before the > go??? I'll try it by clicking the smiley icon: <hopes DO has better movement AI than SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif >

edit3: OK, looks like this forum doesn't like smileys inside of angle brackets... Hopes DO has better movement AI than SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ahh, well, that is another matter, now isn't it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Gentlemen,

I too am waiting for this release. It appears that it will be a ton of fun, and mod-ability will play (no pun intended) a major factor in giving it the long-Lasting aspect that many RPG's lack.

Cheers!

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

I've always been wishing for a random/moddable RPG combo. So far we've only seen random (Diablo) or moddable (Dungeon Siege, NWN), but not both together.

From a brief look this looks very similar to RS2 in concept, with a few differences in interface. I'm curious to know what the key differences between the two games are.

NOTE: This is not intended to invite flames on either Adam or Aaron, it is a simple question. The RS2 forum seems to have gone quietly ballistic when comparing games recently, and I don't see any reason to replicate that here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Well I wasn't really impressed with Runesword 2, but regardless, everyone should hold off comparing anything until they have the game.

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmm, I had the same thought that Drago did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I don't want to ignite any fires either, but that's how I would describe RS: modable and randomizable (is that a word?).

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Does anyone know when the demo is coming out?

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Very interesting, looking forward to trying out the demo.

Re: Can\'t wait...
 

Ahem...who says Diablo is not moddable ?
There are dozens of mods for D2 and a few for D1
(that I know of).
I'm still looking forward to DO http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
