The Relic - Release Early 2010 Don't think this is the best thread to post a note about a delay but here we go - Through forums like these, we've received feedback about The Relic's graphics and animations regarding areas of improvement. We want The Relic to be the best game it can be, so we're going to take a little more time for additional polish. So, we're pushing it back to early 2010. We wish it could be done sooner, but then it wouldn't be the game it could be. Axolotl Studios Any questions, drop us a PM.
That's disappointing to hear, but understandable. I can't think of a better reason to delay a game than making it better. I'll pick this up whenever it's released.
Should I sharpen my mouse? (I did a more "macho" "stomp" for the barbarian walk a while back ) With a few more polys I think it could be corkin'
Wow this game actually looks pretty kickass. I noticed "multiplayer". Are we talking local or worldwide? Local is just fail.
Actually, there have been a few Gauntlet clones with better graphics out there, just as there have been quite a few Nethack/Rogue clones out there with "just better graphics". Let's name a few, shall we? - Fate - Fate Undiscovered Realms - Mythos (gone now, sigh!) - Dungeon Runners - Titan Quest - Gauntlet Dark Legacy - Neverwinter Nights (I&II) - Baldurs Gate (I&II) - Dungeon Siege (I&II) - Sacred - Divine Divinity - Nox - Revenant - Darkstone I'm sure years ago there were people just like you saying that Gauntlet was nothing more than Dark Chambers with "just better graphics" and they were hoping it would be more like Nethack with monsters that didn't move until you moved. But then again, Diablo was nothing more than an enhanced clone of Gauntlet which itself was an enhanced clone of Dark Chambers which was nothing more than an enhanced clone of Nethack/Rogue. Seriously, next time do try to do a modicum of research before posting.
We're working on it feverishly right now & we're really happy with how it's coming along. I also wish it could be done sooner (ie, NOW!) so I could get some rest. As far as multiplayer - currently we're looking at local wifi & bluetooth. In future updates possibly worldwide. There will be new screenshots coming to the Chillingo site soon. I'll post when they're up. Also, we'll probably be posting a new trailer soon.
Awesome! You guys keep up the great work cuz we can't wait to take this game for a spin! Also, thanks for the update; you rock.
Eh well the local thing was a bit of a turnoff but this game still looks kickass. Any idea on the price?
the announce new games because they're just the publishers! The release date really depends on the devs!
Where is Vampire Origins? - in the process of being finalized. Where is SEED Story Of Kalikoop? - SEED1 - Raise of Darkness has been released. We're working on the next segment of the game with the developer. Where is Ravensword? - Has been released. Why do you announce games which you never finish??? We are a publisher. We are working with a number of developers on a number of games. We let the public know about the games we are working on. But each game development cycle is in developer's hands. We won't rush a game, but take the time to make sure it is as good as it can be before releasing it. Hope this helps! Chillingo Gal.
