Now both "[Steel Storm 2](http://two.steel-storm.com/)" and "[Tomes of Mephistopheles](http://tom.kot-in-action.com/)" have potential to become extremely good games, but until they're finished all one can do is support and wait. The developers really do want to make them the best titles they can be, but it's a fact that somewhere along the road some features will always get cut - that's the way the ball rolls. Not all that is planned is possible. What will happen depends on the restrains Indies have to bear with in terms of resources, manpower, community and advertising.
In accord with Alex (no, the other Alex :P) I've set up this poll to do a bit of research. We would like the players to tell us which of these two games they are more excited about, which they pre-order and, more importantly, explain why. If you're willing, write a short paragraph explaining which of these two games you find more appealing and your expectations.
And for those paranoid folks, both games will be finished in due time. Please do try to be professional... :rolleyes:

didnt really like the Steel Storm that much.. just not my type of game.

Not meant as a slight against ToM, which for the moment actually seems to be a lot more ambitious and could even have more potential.
But I do like a good shooter. ;)
EDIT: You guys should make the poll visible on the front page. I found it by accident.

but still i prefer ToM. just like some RPG elements and random world generation thingy :P
Meanwhile they can login using Facebook... if they have one, that is...
As for the front-page, it is visible at the bottom. Other than that, I've sent you the link via Twitter.
ToM looks like a nice little project and combining first person action with dungeon crawling is indeed quite an interesting combo. (What ToM could use more is space. You can never go wrong with SPACE SKELETONS getting beaten to death with FIERY SPACE SWORDCERY! SPAAACE!!!)
Perhaps I'm just bad at dungeon crawlers or am too much of a non-hipster to be more excited about ToM, but in the end, both look really nice and I wish motorsep all the best in this quest to make awesome games.
But Tomes of Mephistopheles looks nice, maybe I will buy in this half-year.
