Seasoned Roamer Kingdom of West Brom Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hey guys, Really enjoying playing the new Avernum remake, was just wondering what people would say to a new Blades of Avernum one day using the new engine? I loved Blades of Avernum and Exile and thought it was a masterstroke giving people the power to make and share scenarios and keep the company and games on our minds and I loved waiting for new scenarios to come out! ----------------- PS. 8 years ago as a lad I apparantly had the misfortune to produce an utterly dross scenario for Blades of Exile and I cant help having this consuming need to absolve myself by learning code and producing something good either for BOA or a future version!

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Jeff Vogel has said he'll never release another Blades game, since the time it took to develop Blades of Avernum combined with its lacklustre sales almost sent Spiderweb out of business.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 And consider the fan response to BoE. Jeff isn't lauded for producing the tools used to make many beloved scenarios. He's reviled for lack of support, for bugs that didn't get fixed, for flaws. He made BoA and it didn't sell and didn't get as many scenarios. —Alorael, who wouldn't say never. That's a long time. He will say that it's not on the radar, and unlike the Exile sequel that eventually happened it's been actively and vigorously hurled as far away from anywhere that radar could reach as possible.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I, for one, just want him to release the BoA code so that we can finally fix some ridiculously terrible things. I might even make something new to celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 ^ This. I think another editor is out of the question, for reasons others have mentioned. It would make a decent number of people happy and be a good PR move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Cpt. Charles Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm wondering, if Jeff were to release the BoA code, is there anybody who has the desire and ability to upgrade the game? Or is it getting a bit old and out of style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Tridon Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Blades of Avernum II... I would buy this right away, but if his experience with sales and income with the previous two Blades is poor, I understand why he would leave that idea alone.

Seasoned Roamer Kingdom of West Brom Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 The idea of making your own game/scenario in our belived Spiderweb software style could never get old right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
