But is it still bland? I was told it has no identity. :D

I see it still doesn't remember my settings between sessions. I lower the volume, change the combat animation speed, and quit. Then when I restart it's all set to max again.

I got it around Xmas and finished one run with the warrior and almost finished a run with the inventor. Going to have to restart from the beginning once the update installs I think.

I've had this on my wishlist for a while, maybe I should pick it up sometime. It looks like the kind of thing I'd enjoy.

Looks like a fun game, and for those on mobile I expect a port won't be far behind. The mechanics seem to be made with touch controls in mind as well as mouse.

Quoting: scaineI dunno, this looks like a modernised Tales of Maj'Eyal... I'm very interested! Looking forward to their release.

Not that ToME couldn't stand a little modernizing.

Still, it isn't clear what they mean by "next generation" here. The graphics and general mechanics don't seem especially groundbreaking (or impressive in the art's case). Are they talking about this CCG-like class system?

Hold up, a dev said "PC" and didn't use it as a synonym for just Windows? I...I think I need a moment...

Considering how Valve are perfectly fine with the Black Mesa fan game, I can't see them having a problem with this either.

Though true, not quite the same I think :)

What makes you say that? Put it this way, has Valve ever gone after a fan game?

They haven't, and hope they never do, but it's not the same the remake of their first game that a new iteration of their most hyped/expected game. Obviously I don't want Valve to cancel any fan-made game but I would rather understand more the cancellation of Project Borealis than if they had done it with Black Mesa. If that makes sense :)

If anything, it would be less understandable given that Black Mesa is remaking an existing property with the same story, whereas Boealis is making a pretty much entirely new game in a new engine, working from a synopsis of what could have become HL3. In effect, PB is simply fanfiction. Which we already know Valve is fine with.
