Downloading.
What exactly is procedurally generated? Its "only" the world or even things like spells, materials, enemies...?

Looks interesting, will download the demo when I get home, and if its any good, which having played AI wars hope (and suspect) it will be, will buy it.

@kulik

Everything you mentioned but the spells, which are still indirectly in some ways given how you collect/craft commodities. You explore on the world map and regions generate as they are revealed. Once you enter a region it will place all objects, monsters and all that in its own procedure-y way. :D

Not as such no, modding in the strictest sense of the word is probably not in the cards. That said a lot of custom story items and other stuff are being prepped for players to be able to create their own content.

I really hope this looks better in action than it does in the screenshots. No offense intended...

Will try when I get home.

I am afraid not. there is huge inconsistency in the graphic style, let alone quality, and the animations, in most cases, just feel off.

I think the most important is to scale the user interface at least 50% bigger and define graphical and mechanical hierarchies.

It's pretty neat so far, although I do have to say I don't really like the graphical style. I'm probably gonna wait a while before I put any money into it.

I cringe at your reply.

Really could use a stop walking animation, its so very abrupt in stopping it looks bad. I'm ok with the graphics though, they look a bit off in some places but they aren't terrible.

Hey cupogoodness, re Steam--

Does that mean if I buy it now, I can plug it into Steam later and it'll let me download from them without rebuying it? I know you can't say for sure now, but in your experience.

Steam really is my preferred system; it's a VERY rare non steam game that I buy (I reformat often and it saves key-related headaches).

I agree. If I bought this it would probably be on Steam. So I echo the question.

I kind of lost interest in this when it switched from top-down to side-scrolling. Downloading the trial anyway and keeping an open mind.
