Age of Decadence, An RPG developed by an indy dev Options

[stargelman]

Some of you may have noticed that I have been ranting and raving about how Oblivion was everything but a proper RPG and a big disappointment to me in many ways. Well, despite the fact that most games labelled "RPG" these days contain as much roleplaying as Super Mario Brothers, there are still some games being made that deserve the name. Games with choices that effect the game world, with lots of dialog, tactical combat, many many skills, you name it.

One such game is Age of Decadence, being developped by Iron Tower Studios. It's their first game. They have a website up here. Now, if you expect Oblivion quality graphics, you'll be disappointed. If you expect a good RPG similar to Planescape: Torment or the Fallouts, then you might like this. A lot

There's also an interview up by GameBanshee with Vince D. Weller, the main force behind Age of Decadence here.

Yeh, they do like bells n whistles.

Ohh, there is this huge ad now in Oblivionish colors by the website www.Kotaku.com that says "So we are probably going to like Gothic III a helluva lot better than Oblivion ..." The lettering looks almost Daedric. Such a ripoff ad IMO. Although Cain really does like Gothic & Gothic II and is looking forward to GIII; I feel that advertising on your own merits is way better than trying to backstab another game. You set up a comparison like that and you just might fail miserably.

So anyway ... did you know that FarFallen by our friends here at Chorrol is going to be even more sophisticated than Age of Decadence? I cannot say too much, but you should see the team of artists, modelers and musicians they have organized. It's awesome ... yuo oughta pay them a visit.

They love visitors at FarFallen Studios and will take your suggestions and ideas very seriously. You could influence what may become a major game someday!
