Hello! With a few questions.

Hello, I’m a pc gamer as are most of you, mostly interested in rpgs and the occasional xbox shooters/racers. I’d like to introduce myself to this community and hopefully contribute to the already amazing team and support that’ve been put together.I already have been reading and have come to the conclusion from a perspective of a pretty picky gamer, that this game is going to really be something special. Even though I’m not really well informed about this team’s/staff’s history or what not, I do know you guys are/have been really close to the developers of TQ. I’ve played TQ, loved it, and am Really REALLY looking forward to a Beta or atleast some sick updates Grim Dawn, expecting the very best. Regardless, I’ve got some questions! Hopefully you’ve got some answers (or atleast links):eek:.

1.) Does this game feature a futuristic type alien era, an alien invasion with an arsenal of weaponry type era, or a medieval one? Is this anything like WoW in terms of its history? Dwarven machinery, Swords, and guns? What type of mood is this game supposed to establish based on the time period etc. Just from the images I already notice a really interesting time period laid out but I can be way far off.

2.) If this game is based off TQ in terms of how it’ll play and function, are there any really exciting changes that are implemented that we an look out for which aren’t in TQ or any of the most recent ARPGs/GD exclusive?

3.) For my final question I was just wondering what stage of development GD is at, and how development is going. Is it near Beta release, or are ideas still being poured in and implemented? Am I to judge the work in production to hopefully mold it or is it set in concrete? :smiley:

Thanks for hearing me out!

Hi Xapphire!

  1. The setting is Victorian. The world has been invaded by two otherworldly powers (wouldn’t call them aliens) - the Aetherials are basically wraiths, and the Chthonians are basically demons.
  2. GD will carry over the best from TQ and still feature many improvements … tech- and gamewise ([thread=2400]see also[/thread]).
  3. The game is in pre-alpha stage.

Mucho Gracias!

medierra said something about aiming to start the first alpha somewhere like 5 to 8 months from now - just a short while ago. Don’t remember where it was.

So if everything works out as planned now, Alpha could happen Q1 2012.

That being said, that time-plan could change anytime.

Right under your nose :stuck_out_tongue:
