Promising RPG-projects

Last year I strongly felt lack of new RPGs. I mean old-fashioned well-designed RPGs with thousand strings of dialogs, unexpected plot turns, vivid characters and complicated gameplay. Now it seems RPGs are popular again. All RPG-playing world discuss Oblivion, approaching Gothic 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2. But Oblivion is so far from RPGs, which I mention above. Neverwinter Nights 2 disturbs me more and more. The only hope is Gothic, but who knows.

Luckily this year I noticed two pretentious projects by obscure teams. It seems these people are hardcore old-school RPG fans and they know what is needed. They concentrate on games’ filling, so graphics are simple (but in any case this is much better then Adom-like games).



“The Age of Decadence” by Iron Tower Studios



“Eschalon: Book I” by Basilisk Games

Upd.: both teams on realease date say: "It will be done when it is done"
