Grim Dawn
« on: August 11, 2011, 05:38:32 pm »
I only saw mention of it once, and I figure I'll start a thread on it.

http://www.grimdawn.com/

From some of the creators of Titan Quest, it's a dark Diablo-like game using a modified Iron Lore (TQ) engine.

I dropped in a purchase/donation already.  Looks decent so far.

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."

Looks interesting.  I didn't like titans quest mostly because I'm not a fan of roman mythology games, but this looks like something that would appeal to me more.

Haven't played Titan Quest, but this is looking interesting. I'll have to follow it.

Looks pretty good. Graphics are pretty good for an Alpha. But the story line seems pretty......the same. :-\

Great, now I have Grim Dark stuck in my head.  Thanks!

Anyway, I don't think it's about any particular story as much as it's going to be a loot game.  I was reading that they managed to create random areas with the TQ engine so unlike TQ each map should be unique.

To get MOAR content before the release, they just started a Kickstart.
Already 1k backers and more than 45k $ in less than 10 hours.

You know this actually does seem kinda cool just from what I can see now. Story is probably gonna be bleh but I can't argue with the nice dark fantasy scavenger world aesthetic. Plus I like how they seem to be treating classes more as skill trees on the features list, that should be fun.

Oh man if my girlfriend hears about a new Diablo like game that's actually GOOD... Assuming this doesn't end up crap.

Sorry, but anyone else reminded of Warcraft 3 when looking at the graphics?  I never played (or heard of) Titan Quest but looking at those screenshots here I'm just callin' it like I see it.

Stills don't do it justice, really. The TQ engine does well enough with physics and animation to make the doofy WC stuff look crude in comparison. Could just be me, I suppose. I enjoyed knocking goatmen into mountains and swatting things out of their armor. *shrug*

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

The kickstarter passed 50% today.

Some new insight concerning Linux/Mac version, translation and clear chart for the rewards.

Medierra (A., Bruno) promised to do an AMA and a New video before the end of the kickstart.

Diablo 2 on steroid? hell yeah! This game is more worthy of the diablo3 name than the current diablo 3...

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Oh this looks good, been playing that "Depths of Peril" that came in the most recent Royal Indie bundle and got a hankering for something like that...
