Ugh. I really hope Avernum 4 never makes it.

Great. We get BoA thinking we've got a really great engine to play with, then a better one appears. :P

Apparently still annoying.

My thoughts on this are here.

Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!
Ephesos: In conclusion, yarr.

The third challenge, in my mind, was mending bridges with the Blades of Exile scenario design community. Blades of Exile was a big success in a lot of ways, but I didn't do as good as job supporting it as I could have. I tried to go the extra mile in terms of convincing them that I was going to provide a solid, well-supported product, and also to do a lot of little extra things, like making the scenario editor open source.
Here's to a step in the right direction. May it lead to bigger and better things, and happy customers, even if they are all 8-year-olds or septuagenarian eskimos.

—Alorael, who wouldn't mind seeing an Avernum 4, especially with a new engine. He still likes the turn-based and he still thinks that the best of BoE/BoA is related to Exile/Avernum only loosely at most. All the same, it would be nice to know what the creator of the Empire and E/A thinks will happen to them in their new touchy-feely relationship.

Double post!

—Alorael, who didn't even catch this quickly. Yes, he is properly ashamed of himself.

Ooo! Allow me to be the first!

You won't get away with this, Vogel! How dare you! Ohhhh you... you... YOU! You haven't heard the last from me, Mr. Big Shot Game Making Person!

On a less angry note: Avernum 4? Geneforge 23? Geneforged Blades of Netherexile? Great. Who cares. Just make it so I can buy it already.

Alorael double-posted! :eek: This is a sad day in the history of the Spiderweb boards... also since there cannot now be a claim that every single of those 7762 posts contains a different signature. :P

And whoever has assassinated Jeff and taken over his identity? He'll make Avernum 4 and "mend bridges with the BoE community?" Has hell frozen over? This is getting creepy...

"Alorael double-posted!"

Oh no, rest assured he has some excuse preventing us from laying blame. He always does... rat bast*rd.

Almost every one of my posts has had a unique signature. Sometimes it requires editing to get there, but it is done.

—Alorael, who has double posted before and will double post in the future. He sometimes wonders what the flood control is there for if it doesn't prevent flooding.
