Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 For those that don't get the Newsletter: Quote: * What Is Coming Soon ... After what seems like a very long time (because it was, looking back, a very long time), we are finally wrapping up Avadon and looking forward. We are working hard on our next game, Avernum: Escape From the Pit, which is a ground-up rewrite of Avernum 1. We are determined to put the long hours in to make this update new and fresh while maintaining everything about the original that earned so much love. (Yes, the story is the same. Yes, it will be larger. And yes, there will be an outdoors.) All the changes that need to be made so that it'll work well on the iPad are also happening. Screenshots and detailed information will be available in July, and the game should be out for the Mac by Christmas. iPad version is April. And, after that, Avadon 2.

Kyshakk Koan Mod. Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 How is the engine going to be? Is it going to have similarities to the A4 engine, later geneforge, or maybe Avadon's? Does this mean we may see later games running a new engine that supports outdoors, so a new series with outdoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The last newly-designed game Jeff made that included outdoors was Nethergate. That was 14 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 No, because TESB was a sequel, and Avernum isn't a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's a remake, and I can't think of any movies that have had two separate remakes. Maybe we can expect the new series to be the "gritty reboot" of the Avernum franchise "They thought they had banished [him/her/it] to the pit. They were wrong. Now it's time for revenge!", that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Jeff mentioned during beta testing of Avernum 6 Cocoa version that a bug was also in Avernum remake so it's going to be a variation of the Avernum 6 game engine.

Unflappable Drayk Death Knight Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I am guessing that windows will have the same release as mac-Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not likely. The Windows version is usually completed and released a couple months after the mac version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
