I'm curious as to when the new Avernum game will be released. It says late 2014, its November, I was hoping to see a release date by now. Any ideas to when it will actually be released? The actual release date. Not the time of year.

It was a typo, it's actually supposed to say 2015

The thing is, he might have been naked (I specifically remember that he was lying in bed shirtless under the blankets) LOL, talk about awkward. I don't think Alwan would be particularly happy to learn about that. I wonder if Greta would have teased him about it later, ha ha!.

I smell romance, and every story needs romance. For once, it intrigued me to return to my novel/dinner table to write a spin-off fanfic about Geneforge... You should too

It seems the fluffy turtles of The Fifth of Novemer has visited the abysmal depths of your mind, carefully chewing the juicy, succulent brain cells left in your very dream. Normally, I charge people to rid them of the never-fading filth in the forums, it's free, for now.

Jeff probably put some subliminal dream sequence thinggy in the series for intensity, now you know why they're sold for $30

Buying games directly from Spiderweb is the opposite. Highest possible freedom and service you will ever find for digital games, but most expensive.

IIRL, it was $20 for each Geneforge game. But then I discovered Steam, and they sold the whole series for the price of one. Now I know why Steam sells the game for really big discounts.

I see, then i will save more and buy full geneforge saga from here!!!

Why not buy from Steam? Although, you've missed some sales, I hope they'll be back on 2016 when I get my own credit card ;_;

If you just want a really powerful party, you may as well use the High Level Party Maker to make a god party.

I found the knowledge brew item iformation and now it gives 3000 skill points.

Is that The Fruit of Knowledge?

But isn't it a bit cumbersome to distribute 3k skillpoints to each character?

The main difference between the parties is how to go about their goals. Both parties want the same things, but disagree as to the means. In general, republicans want people and businesses to be free from government restraints, and democrats believe that government is often the best solution for our nations problems.

FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!

-Jedi of the Old Republic

I'm not knowledgeable about these political stuff, as I only follow my own principles about authority. That I subject myself to higher powers. That doesn't mean I will tolerate abuse, but it means my general attitude towards authority should be respect.

Hopefully. I would not be interested in playing a remade Geneforge if it adopted the new limited skill tree and combat system.

Jeff can't do that, it's against Shaper laws.

Why do you recommend avoiding it ?

Because it results in a blank black picture

No, I did not play via Steam. I play from my windows pc.

Of course you do silly but if you meant you played the game downloaded from Spiderweb or GOG.com, I think print screen is the only option.

Yes, I'm sure it reaches many people that never tried the earlier ones, especially since everything gets IOS releases. My post specifically is asking about whether anyone knows what new is in the pipeline.

 

"The mechanics is a big part of the gameplay experience, so it doesn't feel at all like the exact same game "

 

The same story, maps, and basic idea.. yet it doesn't feel at ALL like the same game to you? I guess we look at things way differently then.

Yes we do, and we don't. I don't think there's a single perspective that we all follow, we're all different.

For example, I don't really like remakes because it's like the old game in a newer engine, graphics, mechanics and all that stuff, but it's pretty much in the same tracks as the old games are.

I admit, I'm kinda superficial (did I use the correct word?) when it comes most of the time, to graphics of games. When I still had my inferior-quality netbook that runs as slow as any Windows 2000 computer, I can still appreciate the old Avernum series, or maybe even the first Thief game. By the time I got my laptop, which was never meant for gaming, I played games with better graphics for several months. Suddenly, I felt I wanted to play Avernum 3 again, so I did. But then couldn't get past Fort Emergence, because I felt somewhat bored. Compare that to my days with my netbook when I completed the game 87240839698327 times.

I don't know, but that's just me. Avernum 3 is the best Avernum for me, and I'll be waiting for its remake.

I rant too much, but here's what I think: I love the Geneforge series, I can play them without trouble but I'm still waiting for their remakes. That goes the same too for Avernum fans. In contrast to my less-favorite games, I couldn't care less about their remakes, but it's still worth to give them a chance.

Oh well, why not answer? What's the worst that could happen?

The fluffy turtles roam the land, importunate and insolent, nominating themselves the stalkers of sanity, vanquishers of logic and exterminators of rationality, extorting brain cells from the gullible and, on receipt of their ignoble earnings, moving on to dispense the same deceit in the near vicinity. The easiest access they find are at the forums of honest, simple, and unwitting peasants who readily ascribe all misfortune and ill events to rituals, unnatural creatures and monsters, the doings of windsprites or evil spirits.

If you're playing via Steam, try hitting (by default) F-12. Barring that, I'd recommend avoiding fullscreen mode, instead using borderless windowed ("fake" fullscreen) or windowed mode. Dunno what the newer games do for fullscreen, though.

If there are no borderless window mode options for some games, there's always Game Companion. Although I've never used it before, a lot of people have been recommending it from Elder Scrolls to Fallout to Dark Souls, plus, it was stated here that it is compatible with most games. I assume Spiderweb is included in that.

I knew it would attract a lot of answers, because Spiderweb community.

I just scanned them for now, because I have a hectic schedule today.

Are you asking for a computer RPG that uses one of the D&D rule sets when it comes to mechanics?

Plus tabletop pen and paper... and AIs.... No? Well too bad.

Well thanks for the suggestions guys, I might try them out one at a time if I had time.

Have a good day.

Or whatever it's called.

I haven't played any D&D stuff aside from the MMO. And because reasons, now I want to try the pen-and-paper stuff people mostly talk about. And I doubt I have friends that know D&D tabletop stuff at school, so I prefer to play with AIs instead.

Question is, what virtual tabletop thinggy stuff would you recommend for a beginner? I prefer a game with:

-A story (optional, but much better with one)

-Singleplayer mode (with AIs)

-Easy to learn instructions

-Good for beginners

I admit that I only have a slight idea what I'm talking about. If anyone could explain what I'm trying to say, that's great.

I can never remember recipies. Or place names.

Who needs recipies when you got sweg gf3itemschars.txt?

Yes you can put it in the Avernum section, imo, they aren't simply limited to game-specific. but much more of anything-related-to-this-game ex: chessrook's Let's play or even a bunch of script edit for god-tier items etc.

I know at least one person wrote a Geneforge fanfic and posted it in the Geneforge forum. I think the game-specific forums are probably the most logical place for fanfic of specific games, although just about anything that's not against the forum rules can also go in General.

That reminds me...

What was the title of Upon Mars' post? I'm kinda curious.

I don't think you need some copyright stuff for fan fiction, when I make one (usually about anime, which is nothing different), I just type in on top of the page written in bold: Disclaimer: I do not own *Spiderweb Software* or any of its *characters*, *Spiderweb software* rightfully belongs to *Jeff Vogel*

Im kinda contented with that, but if anyone actually have a proper disclaimer template thing, I'm gonna need it.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.

I've researched a bit, and I kida think that the closest style to this is the line drawing with comics plus dark tones and stuff.

I don't know, really, but to me it looks like a 2000s comics with some originality, and a little manga-ish.

That's all I can think off for now, Imma stick to it for the time being, if you guys found anything more closer, feel free to leave a reply.

I'm gonna bookmark that link :3

G4's isn't bad but not really notable either, except for this one.

Hey! That was my most favorite art on the whole Geneforge series, plus this being the second

GF1 had the best art EVER!!! I think the artist, whoever that was, should go back and draw all the other intros and stuff for that whole 'retro' feeling. Well in my opinion anyway.

Still, what kind of drawing is it called? Or if there aren't any, what are the styles related to this?

bump bump bumpity bump?

ok, let's drop the intro art thinggy, I just want to learn the style, because it's so awesome, + I might even use it in our further projects, or make my own Geneforge fanart <3

so dark and beautiful ^^^^

I'm talking about the intro arts from Geneforge 1-4, what type of art is it? Drawing, sketch or whatever you call it. I just want to learn it because it has a somewhat dark or gloomy feel on it.

And I think learning that style would be a good place to start as we are creating a comic strip draft thinggamagic for our Adobe Flash project.

Thanks in advance, and have a good day :3

P.S. This was posted in General because that also includes the earlier Avernums with art as an intro, if there are any.

I'm sure most of you follow the news.

No.

For some reason, I don't believe in the news.

Few hours in and still only have the first spells you start with in the tutorial and no guidance is given on how to get new skills or improve my current ones. Distinct lack on info on the net about this game which I find very odd.

It was made intentionally for immersion

jk

You can't devour fluffy turtles. This proves you're delusional.

Thank you.

Well, to clarify, yes you can, but only to a certain limit. If you want to link your website about gaming or stuff, feel free to do it. But if you want to link a bunch of shoes or items to sell, well, don't even think about it.

Alright I be going now ;_;
