Toenail Returns Agent Member # 3349	written Monday, May 3 2004 14:44 Profile Homepage #0 I like Avernum and Exile just as much as anyone here, but was there a real reason for Jeff to create a almost-clone-like game to Exile? Just wanted to ask because I wonder about it day and night. Well... not really. -------------------- Espresso hasn't been invented yet. That stinks.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, May 3 2004 17:34 Profile Homepage #2 quote: Lifted from the Avernum website: Why did we decide to rework Exile? Well, we love that old game, but, the truth is, it's not so popular anymore. It's just too crude and old, especially compared to our newer work. The sad thing about that is that the game contains a lot of really good design. That's why we decided to do Avernum. We felt, simply, that Exile deserved a lot better. ?Alorael, who couldn't have said it better himself. Whether Jeff's assessment is accurate or not is a personal opinion, but that was his motivation.

SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Tuesday, May 4 2004 08:43 Profile #3 Not to mention that it was probably a lot less work than creating a new game, and gained nearly as much (if not more) money. (I say it was probably less work because the engine already existed, and so did nearly all the text. In fact, there are some Avernum areas where you can still find references to Exile. LOL) -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were. Posts: 322 \| Registered: Monday, April 12 2004 07:00
spy-there Agent Member # 1993	written Tuesday, May 4 2004 11:36 Profile #4 I'm glad about Avernum ..<< I couldn't play Exile, when I tried the demo. After avernum, the Exile graphics seemed to be so horribly confusing flat - I lost any desire to enter that 2D world ... But I can imagine Exile as a great game, if one is familar with the old design. -------------------- ^ö^ Vegetarians are sexy. Solar power is the wave of the future.

Imagine in a bunch of years having Warcraft III Reign of Chaos be remodled in 4-D, or whatever new crap they get. -------------------- Espresso hasn't been invented yet. That stinks.
