This news is most exciting! I can't contain my chills!
Your Facebook seems inviting and promises some thrills.
I hope this secret project that has long been developed
will be a popular object in which many get enveloped.
Here's hoping that this new game will be both fun and meta.
Oh and by the way-can I be in the beta?

At long last! Thanks for the heads-up Brian!

These are glad tidings!

Also, I love that D2Hans's avatar (that's that one guy from Hogan's Heroes, right?) is prominently displayed on the Facebook page post about the forum :P

Ulvaak · July 2015

Great news!

Looking forward to what you have to show at Pax.

I got a laugh! Laughing's a good!
(You folks should know by now you don't have to no matter how much I'd love to help out. I'm more than happy to put on my pom-pom's and cheer from the sidelines. Besides-I look **** cute in a skirt).

I was tempted to say something on fb about that, I couldn't help laughing when I saw it. It fits the post perfectly!

Needlehawk · July 2015

Yes!!!! I can hardly wait. I'm really hoping that you have a beta to sign up for!

Killious · July 2015

Awesome news! I can't wait to see what will be revealed!

Thaeyn · July 2015

Hmmm... I wonder, what could possibly go wrong with this sort of idea?

"Easy... easy... ****, this thing is heavier than it looks... okay, okay... are you guys ready?"

(As an aside, this is but one of the reasons why women generally live longer than men and, yes, it's a kind of revenge ;)

Also, spot the cat in the background? Man, that's one cat that's seriously prepared for disaster)

Advice to Hans: Walk away. Walk away as fast as you can; don't even bother turning off the mics

I hope it's an hack and slash.
An action RPG could be great also even if I think Runic Games is really good at making hack and slash.

mrtek · July 2015

Looking forward for what you've been working on! New Hack'n Slash?

Well, as I remember, this is not a hack and slash.

I think this is a sandbox with arcade fighting.

adoomgod · July 2015

Very stoked. Looking forward to what comes next.

I beleive a good sandbox games with a good fighting system could be good too. If that's the case, a lot of people will compare it to Trove !

Tek · July 2015

What's a sandbox game?

Do fighting games still make profit? I believe there was a recent Mortal Kombat release did that work out good?

PC port of MKX is still a mess, but the game sold well across all platforms.

Killer Instinct is coming to Windows 10(Free to play), Tekken 7 is X1 and PS4, and Street Fighter V apparently had enough pre-orders to mess up the beta servers(or Capcom/Sony just messed up), Sony and Capcom has been Marketing SFV much more than Capcom did with all versions of SFIV, also SFV has a PC version(beta for it starts in fall).

Serkevan · July 2015

Sandboxes are games where you are free to do whatever you want (or well, that's the idea), without having to play the story quests. Games like GTA, Minecraft or Skyrim would qualify.

Zidders · July 2015

I don't think I'd count GTA as a sandbox game. You can't really do all that much aside from the main missions in it. I don't count running over people and doing crazy stunts as the sort of thing people envisioned when they came up with the term 'sandbox' game. I also don't think Skyrim qualifies either. Everything in the game is scripted and the creative aspect of it (modding) takes place outside of the game.

I think Minecraft is one of the few and best examples of a sandbox game that we have and even then it's limited. There's only so much the average player can learn to do without depending on others or outside information. To me a true sandbox game would be one that is as close to reality as possible.

I disagree. GTA and Skyrim are both 'sandbox' games in the sense that you have the freedom to go where you want and do what you want (within the confines of the game engine and features that the game offers) while ignoring the story missions entirely. I can see what you are saying by only including Minecraft, but I think having an overly elevated standard for what is/isn't a sandbox game is just wishful thinking on your part. My opinion is you don't have to be able to reshape the world into the image that you want for a game to qualify as a sandbox game.

ThomasJ · July 2015

Looking forward to seeing the new project. I been playing a lot of Torchlight 2 lately!

I too remember they were talking about doing something different. Max said something about maybe wanting to do a sandbox RPG, Minecraft inspired. Less monster slashing, and more resources & building. I am not sure the current hack & slash audience fits into that, though. Lowers the tempo way too much.

We'll be at Pax Prime 2015, New Facebook Page!
