Info Illwinter News/Update?

NTJedi · #1 June 22nd, 2009, 07:51 AM

I know Illwinter is working on their new game, but I haven't heard any news or updates on how they are doing or the overall progress of the new game.

If Illwinter is reading this topic... Any chance we could have a monthly developer journal?
A few(5) sentences with a screenshot would be very kool and would increase word of mouth for the new game.

Also will the next Dominions patch include the highly desired early age Machaka? ( You know the one with good province defense.

)

Can you direct me to any information about a new Illwinter game? This is the first I've heard of it.

Thanks

There's essentially no information.
We know there are no plans for Dominions 4, because the developers are working on something else.
Other than it not being Dominions, they've given very few hints to what it might be.

There isn't any to be had. We know they are working on something, and that's it. Even the beta testing group has no idea. I have had a lot of contact with Illwinter and I'm as much in the dark as everyone else. Though to be honest, I haven't asked since it's none of my business unless they choose to ask me to make it so.

We have been quite busy with the new game, so Dominions development has been very sparse. The new game is progressing nicely though, but it is still secret what it is. Probably partly because we are to lazy keep any webpage up to date and the game is changing quite a lot.

It's a dinner party repartee simulator. You play an angry wasp and must defeat various others with scathing put downs and arch comments before the courses conclude. I suspect the boss fight will involve the how can she slap meme.

Dominions FPS! You get to play a Firbolg sniper with a Black Bow of Botulf, and your targets are the various Pretender Gods....

They could tell you but then they would after shoot you!

But only with the black bow of Botulf, so your feebleminded and when the games released will heal you with the chalice so you can buy/enjoy the new game.

Dominions of Heroes! Illwinter teams up with Relic Entertainment and brings Dominions to real time! /mild fantasy

Well at least we can tell by Johan's post that we're not all just speculating in a void...

Isn't it supposed to be a fantasy mixture of RPG and strategy with more focus on SP?
