Concept art for an area we're working on in the next game. Sorry, can't give any additional details.

When will you be opening a new forum?

When we announce the game. I won't be quite so secretive about this game as we had been with Eschalon, but I don't want to announce anything until the game is solid.

Oooooh. Aaaaaaaah.

Sweet!! I like it!

Reported.

not enough deets given.

You being bored makes me excited.
How about you being bored more often?

Oooh, pretty colors.

The former pictures were more like crashed on a planet tryna survive and stuff, where magic and the like would have fitted in just fine.
However, this looks much more spaceiey.

You are aware that all great games have warlock as a playable class, right?

The specific image looks like a sci-fi version of Heide's tower of flame!

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more.

Are you able to confirm that this game will have nothing to do with the Eschalon universe?

Yes. This new game has absolutely nothing to do with Eschalon.

The world and storyline are new. There is no code being used from the Eschalon engine.

The role-playing ruleset that I made for Eschalon was called "Centaur" based on pen-and-paper rules that I designed in the 90's. I had to tweak those rules to fit into Eschalon's engine. I'm working with a similar ruleset, which I guess could be called "Centaur 2.0" for this new game.

Ooh, I like the Eschalon ruleset. I think there were still some ability score and skill balance issues in Book III, but it's probably better to keep refining what you already have than to start fresh. I'm also hoping this means somewhat similar gameplay style.

I was away from this forum for well over two years and now when I came back, I was very happy too see that BW has been very busy creating new worlds. Best of luck to this project, and the concept art looks really cool!
