Now this is interesting: Pete King of Third Impression writes in to announce the development of Blood Rune, a game intentionally modeled on the old SSI Gold Box series. Blood Rune seems to be fairly early in development, but it’s hard not to get a little excited reading what Mr. King has planned for it: […]

Basilisk Games has written a post to explain why Eschalon Book III is taking so long, and to reassure everyone that it is coming out sometime in 2012…maybe. I quote from the post: What this all means is: YES, Book III is coming!! We really blew our development schedule in 2011, missing almost every deadline […]

Jeff Vogel has released his remake of the original Avernum for Mac. If you’re a Mac user, the game can be yours for $20; if you’re a Windows user, you’ll have to wait for “Q1, 2012.” Either way, here is a trailer showing off the game in its new engine.

File this one under “New to Me”: last year, Aldorlea Games released an RPG Maker jRPG by the name of Dreamscape. Today, you can read a new, short review of the the game up on DarkStarMatryx, in which the reviewer describes Dreamscape as reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. (Insofar as the game’s premise involves delving […]

You may recall me posting about the upcoming first-person dungeon crawler Legend of Grimrock back in July. At the time, I described Legend of Grimrock as something akin to Wizardry. I was wrong. This trailer suggests that it is actually much more in the vein of Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder, with real-time […]

Anders Staugaard has emailed me announcing the development of a 3D, first-person, wilderness survival RPG by the name of Forging Life. He is part of a two-man team developing what looks to be a highly ambitious game. Here is how he describes it: We might be a couple of nerds missing the old days, but […]

A few weeks ago, developer Brandon Abley announced a new RPG called Wilfred the Hero. “But Craig,” you say, “Wilfred the Hero was created and released 6 years ago as a free RPG Maker game.” True: but this is a different Wilfred the Hero, because it’s in 3D, and…well, I’m not sure what else is […]
