I) enjoyed, and it might run on modern machines with some hickups. the one before this present remake) had lots of the old-school and gritty aspects of Exile, which some (e.g. Nowadays, Exile is a curiosity, and I'm not convinced it was better than the remakes. IIRC, lots of skill granulation (every weapon type has its own skill)Īdditionally, Exile was tile-based instead of isometric, which was more fashionable until lately. rather unbalanced, with some overpowered or otherwise exploitable spells (like summon snakes) and useless skills (though admittedly, Avernum: Escape from the Pit also has useless skills like First Aid) while it's free, it does not work on 64-bit machines, so you either need a virtual machine or an old computer or some other sort of hoop-jumping to even run it old-school, grittier, so you need to manage food, inventory weight and space, death is reversible but incredibly expensive etc. lots of spells and some of them are hilarious (like summon snakes) Originally posted by Whiteicefire:start with exile escape from the pit much better than the remake While this is possibly not the right place to do that, I'd still like to congratulate on the (at least apparently) rather successful launch. Indeed, Jeff seems to have great insight on indie game business - I've also seen some of his talks and pretty much everything he says makes sense.Īlso wow, you made that game! I saw it in my discovery queue, with some glowing reviews praising it. And if I end up liking the game, hey bonus! Jeff's GDC talk has been super thought provoking for me and very helpful in dealing emotionally with my own launch, so this is a small way I can pay him back :). Naw I want to support them regardless whether I end up liking the games or not. The demos typically contain 1/5 - 1/3 of the full game, so you can test it quite well before purchase. You can check their website for demos of all their titles to see how you like them. Avernums 4-6 have not, so they are made with an older engine. (They are making a new game series, titled Queen's Wish, in a new engine, to be published in the latter half of 2019).Īvernums 1-3 have been remade (and the remakes are on Steam, old games are not). The good thing about these two is that they're the first games of their series and they are made on the newest available game engine of the company. Originally posted by Twistor:This one's good.
