Press Release Teaser: Descend Into The Darkened Depths With Scallywag!   

Hi,

How will this differ from "Slash'EM"? More content?

3-D graphics, good, clear user interface and quite a few interesting mechanics that are absent in Slash'EM.

This sounds like it could be very sweet.

we do have a small website, though we're expecting all scally-releated traffic to come through shrapnel's product pages once they're up.

OMG! This looks so much better than Slash'EM!!! A guess as to when the demo will be available?

Oh...I forgot. Can the non-graphic data in Scallywag be modded with .txt files (a la SE IV)?

Yes, the game can be modded in a text editor via config files. What exactly, how much and other sort of details are still being hashed out, but the modding possibilities and capabilities are very extensive even at a preliminary stage. Ease of modding was, as far as I understand, one of the design criteria.

To quote some information which has already been released....

Quote:
If
players ever do reach a point that they think they've seen everything the game has to offer
thanks to RAGe, they haven't!

RAGe stands for Random Adventure Game engine, and is included with Scallywag: In
the Lair of the Medusa. RAGe allows full modding capability without any programming
experience. Literally everything in the game can be altered with RAGe, allowing not only
whole new adventures for Rapius, but totally new games. Change the graphics, items,
magic, music, everything. All it takes is creativity and time.
Quote:
Our second main goal was that Scallywag should be highly moddable without any
programming skills.
Other than that I can only verify that it is all true.
