Yes, finally, we’ve done it! After all of the posts, PMs, and emails we’ve gotten about this, we decided, yes, you’re right, we REALLY needed to take a time out and get this going.
Now you can relentlessly annoy all your friends with the power of social network marketing!
Probably not for a while. Given that we’re still early in development, you can imagine the game is not often in a state worthy of videoing. Right now, for example, half the sounds are missing as we’ve started replacing all the original stand-in sounds and decided, while we were at it, that we might as well revise the whole directory structure.
Then there are still some animations that need to be cleaned up and armor re-rigged.
As soon as one thing gets put back together, another has been taken apart. Its just the way it goes during this phase of a project. While I want to get a video out to you guys, I also don’t want to delay things people are working on and hold up development to do it.
I’d say it will be a month at the earliest, probably two, maybe three. I hope it will be earlier but I don’t want to promise anything.
It’s better not to promise anyway, but to take the time it needs to be done right. A new screen or two to appease the blood-driven mob wouldn’t hurt though
I’m glad that lately you have been totally concentrated on development. Keep up the good work.
Aren’t we have a flash video game designer here (I forgot who it is)? How about making simple hack and slash grim dawn in flash? Yeah, kill monster, random loot, random dungeon, linear story.
I just emailed Medierra yesterday about making a fan community page if they didn’t have time to make an official one. Irregardless of personal feelings about the role of social media, or the actions taken by facebook, I do hope you can see how a business model such as Crate’s with Grim Dawn can only benefit from exposure. The wider the name Grim Dawn is flung across the internet (specifically through social media and not traditional ad placement), the more money they are likely to gain and the better chances we all have of seeing private servers, more content and possibly even faster content if they earn enough to bring some more people on-board (hint :D).
