Geneforge 4 will be out before too much longer now, and it will be really good. For my money, the best Spiderweb game ever, by quite a margin.

It warms my heart to hear you say that, SoT.

It also makes me a little jealous of the beta testers.

How much longer are we likely to wait? "Before the end of the year" isn't too encouraging.

Of course, I'd also rather more time get put into the game than less.

Unfortunately, some of us still have a while to wait...

Unless you're buying Dikiyoba a Mac, SoT?

Eh eh. I like very much the fact that Jeff makes games for Macs first :cool: ; in Italy there are only a few Mac users. Anyway, I give you a Mac like mine:

I'm kind of up to my neck in Macs, but only the oldest one is really mine -- a slightly older version of the one shown above, with a 15" screen. The rest belong to the university, so I can't give them away, though I get to control them.

Spiderweb games should run fine on a cheap second-hand G3, though. These are supposedly available for a few hundred bucks, if you're really desperate.

I'm not sure about best Spiderweb game ever, but as someone who hasn't really liked Geneforge up to this point I can say that GF4 is a very good game. It also fixes quite a few of the most irritating flaws of previous Geneforges.

—Alorael, who is guilty of dereliction of beta-duty. He needs to work on that. Every day of delay is probably his fault.

Although I can neither confirm nor deny speculation as to the matter of the nature of characters, I will say that significant efforts have been made to develop interactivity between characters and the events in the plot.

I won't say it's the best Spiderweb game, but it is the best of the Geneforge series. Unfortunately everytime Jeff tweaks the game it pushes back the release date.

I don’t know, the release date is dangerously close the the release date of the World of Warcraft expansion pack. Might that effect sales? I mean, World of Warcraft is a staple of the Mac RPG gaming community and that is Jeff's primary audience as well.

Hard to say. Jeff's audience also contains a lot of old school gamers too, remnants of simpler era long gone. These people, I suspect, would not necessarily buy into the whole World of Warcraft thing. Good point, however.

I still enjoy having my @ slaughter the alphabet, but I've been away from the world of pure text recently.

—Alorael, who still remembers and/or invents the days when all games were just a series of 1's and 0's and you had to interpret them yourself. Be glad you have your fancy computers instead of pieces of paper or, in the really old days, digits scrawled in the dirt.

Table tops, with to much mountain dew and pizza, and funny dice with to many sides. Stacks of paper. Maps. Little pewter figurines. "You are being attacked by a hobgoblin, a gnoll, and six goblins. Prepare to defend your selves!" "Magic missile! Magic Missile!" The dice would make an awful racket.

Oh, and if you ever see a b coming at your @, run you fools! This foe is beyond any of you!

Have you ever tried to kill a fruit bat? I've certainly tried (it's a story for another day) and it was extremely hard.

—Alorael, who decided to call it a draw. He did manage to drive off his foe, but only because his foe was apparently not interested in savaging him like a good b.

Only if it's a dragon bat.

Huh. I coulda sworn dragon bats had a sting attack. Now my joke isn't funny at all, if it was in the first place.

I completly agree. If I had to pick between WoW and GF4 I'll take the second. Old school is always better, after all.

I was going to say "what do you mean back in your day, don't you still stare at @ all day?" But it seems @ gets the respect it deserves around here. Very nice. It makes me feel very xyzzy.
