Garrulous Glaahk Ociporus Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Like the rest of us, I am eager to get Avadon. Without giving away anything about the plot or storyline, do you beta testers have some comments about the game experience? Interface? Appearance? Coolness factors? Skill trees? What you enjoyed about the various classes of characters? Anything else you'd be inclined (and permitted) to share would be appreciated. Anticipation is building...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We're not allowed to talk about much. The graphics weren't overhauled, so it looks fairly similar to recent Avernums and Geneforges, but as usual it gets incrementally better with each game. The skill tree is very different and interesting; I'm looking forward to talking about it with other people. The classes really do play differently, and putting different ones together in a party makes for different gameplay. —Alorael, who doesn't want to say much until the release. It's very close!

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jeff is still adding the final graphics, but the end is near. Like all of Jeff's recent games it'll be released when the remaining bugs can be called features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I just hope there will be GIFTSes. I missed them in the Geneforge games. If only there had been giant intelligent friendly talking clawbugs. Actually, normal-size intelligent friendly talking clawbugs would be acceptable, as clawbugs are pretty substantial already. And oddly cute, in my (admittedly deranged) opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Redbeard is secretly a GIFTS in disguise!! Now I have a image of Redbeard saying "Hi, you're cute!" in a high pitched voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was being facetious. Regrettably, the internet does not convey sarcastic intonation well. Then again, perhaps you knew that and were being facetious as well? Aaaagh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the end of the universe was going to be due to a new Homeland game being released. The universe will get a blue screen of death from it.

Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 You poor, deluded fool. You never played A4, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, I did! Just recently by the way. The updated version of A4 though. But actually I was referring to the "real" clawbugs, not the chitrach-ones. I meant the crustacean kind of clawbugs. I think I encountered them in A5. Crunchy!

Garrulous Glaahk Ociporus Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well, it seems as though there are no observations coming out of the beta testers. I respect that you have been sworn to silence, so I won't. I'll continue to anticipate the game being released, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tracer Bullet Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm not! But I can offer well-informed hypothetical speculation. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one beta-tester said something. It was vague and not very specific, sure, but they still said something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
