I think it’s something like RTS or space arpg. However we are taking about thing said six years ago so. And they also have that black legion IP in their hand which grava also involved early on.
Eis maybe able to dig that up.
I am not aware that they want to do an RTS game - only that medierra has been a 1337 RTS player. He mostly spoke of a Sci-fi ARPG, but as you said that was six years ago, and that might have changed plans:
medierra:
One of the IPs we had wanted to pitch before we started Grim Dawn was a sci-fi ARPG with, what I must say, was a pretty badass gameplay twist. I think that is the project we would most likely work on next if Grim Dawn is successful enough for us to branch out.
medierra:
I actually really like the idea of WASD movement in an ARPG as it could allow for some much more interesting combat, however, it isn’t something that I feel we will be able to do in this game.
We do have a concept for a sci-fi ARPG 3rd-person shooter that we’re dying to make and that would use WASD movement, so maybe someday.
medierra:
If we ever get to developing that Scifi RPG it will definitely have WASD movement. It works very well with ranged combat and I think could be made to work with some kind of limited melee system […].
The game has a unique mechanic that I suspect will make it quite different from any scifi RPG you’ve played.
Other than that he hinted at games, which play in the GD universe. About a year ago he was more vage (i.e. professional ;)) about their next project:
medierra:
We’ll also be ramping up a new project since there won’t be enough work for all the programmers on the expansion and it takes a long time to lay all the groundwork for a new game to get it to the point where it’s ready for full production, where additional artists and designers can move onto it.
Of course, it will be a long time before there’s anything to talk about there…
