can't you use the Zodiac engine to throw together like, uh, a space tower defense game or something for a quick cash grab? :D The funny thing is, Zodiac was supposed to be a quick "cash grab" in terms of a short development cycle. The problem was that I couldn't cut corners; every time I playtested...

Yep, that is correct! Although a class doesn't limit you in any way, it does "suggest" a career path via attribute shaping. For a real-world example, I was a skinny kid in high school- I could have played football but that was not what I was best suited for. Instead I played a lot of computer games ...

Yep, I am the only full-time, regular paycheck employee, but I don't like to say "me" and "I" all the time. Other people, even fans, contribute to the creative process with ideas, suggestions, and donations. I work with other artists sometimes, or music composers. I may purchase an asset made by som...

That said; Zodiac!!! No, seriously, you put it on the shelf since you got bored. Well, don't you ever become unbored? Just blow the dust off and finish it already!!! :D I was just playing this last week. It is still very fun despite it mostly just a partial game with large pieces missing. It's alwa...

You too, Kreador!

It's that time of year again, where I get to sit back and reflect on what Basilisk has done and what we have coming up n the next year. This year I am disappointed that we are not talking about release dates, and sharing cool screenshots and a game trailer. Our big Sci-Fi RPG, code named "TRC", is l...

I'll be making an end of the year update in a week or so!

Happy thanksgiving, Ssschah! And everyone else. Hope you have had a relaxing day away from coding and computers and all of that, Thomas! Thanks! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, except of those of you outside the U.S., in which case I hope you had a splendid Thursday. :wink: I've been playi...

I'd love to see a screenshot of that high-def isometric with Eschalon's textures, just so I have some eye candy to drool over. :) Unfortunately I don't have that running anymore (guess I should have grabbed a screenshot). But do you guys want to see what the game used to look like when it was in 3D...

This sci-fi RPG is really unique in several aspects, in that nothing quite like it has been done before as far as I know... Will the change to isometric affect this uniqueness? A pity that you didn't go the Kickstarter route since you have a working demo and from what you've posted it was received ...

I don't think you'll hear many Eschalon fans being upset about switching to an isometric engine ;) I'm glad to hear things are going well. I saw via RSS that you posted a similar message a couple of months ago but then quickly took it down. I was concerned that that was a bad sign. Well, it's been ...

How did September and October go? Thanks for asking! It went very well. I had pages of suggestions to implement and technical issues to address. The game concept was very well received and everyone is excited to see the game move forward. There is a problem, however. TRC as a full 3D game is, unfor...

I am high-jacking this thread, with this epic debate between Jordan Petersson and Umbrella on the subject of Trumps IQ: [removed] [removed] Removed your YouTube links because we generally don't allow cross promotion with other sites or channels (it actually lowers our ranking to have random links c...

You want a job here in the studio? We pay in sarcasm.

A couple people have asked for an update, so here's your Labor Day news: August testing went well. Lots of issues discussed and improvements to be made, but overall I feel like we've got a really great RPG here. Our tester really enjoyed what he saw, and I think It will be worth the wait for everyon...
