  • This game looks so awesome.. can't wait to play it.

  • this looks pretty fucking sweet

  • seems more like its one guy fighting and has 4 quickslotted weapons instead of four people fighting together. thats why it needs turnbased combat.

  • played M&M VI obsessively whenever i'd get babysat at my grandma's (was my uncle who was living there at the time's copy), he gave it to me later on for my 13th birthday and from then onward i was a bonafide RPG addict. glad to see there's still a demand out there for games like this =]

  • This looks amazing.

  • Whoa, this looks really fucking great :D

  • shame there's no blood though..

  • i was always scared to open that first door with a monster behind it in dungeon master. (for amiga)

  • People saying DM was the best and original obviously never played basic Tic-Tac-To combat RPG's using punch card/reference books in the late 70's. But yeah, go play your "old school" DM lol.

  • @reynoldscorey jesuz man you must be older than god!

  • guys, obvious troll is obvious

  • Reminds me of Stonekeep.

  • What race can we play as ? I expect the classic humans + elf + dwarf, but apparently minotaurs too? Can i hope for lizardmen aswell?

  • Oh my God...amazing! Dungeon Master, Eye of the beholder saga, Land of Lore,....where release the game? ^_________________^ Let's gooooooooo San Raal, Behoram let's gooooooooooooo!!

  • Looks awesome. I'd love to try it, but for some reason, I can't access the blog

  • Eye of the Beholder is back!!!!!!!

  • Goes to show just how far video games have come. This shit looks awful.

  • Graphics are the most important part of a video game

    so this game is going to be shit

  • @spicandspamful

    Not sure if serious...

  • @spicandspamful You don't know much about the game industry at all. There are plenty of games with amazing graphics that are just terrible and one in particular that came out not too long ago and got such bad reviews that the company had to threaten reviewers not to write any more bad articles on the game.

  • @spicandspamful last time I checked Minecraft has the most BASIC graphics imaginable... and yet that game still was a massive success and is preparing to launch on xbox after having launched on windows and smart phones.. graphics honestly have little to nothing to do with how successful or good a game is.. I could name dozens of games with complete garbage for graphics yet turned game developers into millionaires(blizzard is a great example).. don't knock games until you've tried them.

  • @spicandspamful Can't tell if trolling or this stupid

    Can tell if complete waste of oxygen

  • my body is ready

  • This is so like Eye of the beholder, LOVE IT !

  • Just hope this game isn't pure dungeon crawling and you can also explore like towns and wilderness.

  • excellent work on ambient sound, just like old times, strong sound design, please include bars for quests and add as much enemies to keep us busy hunting!

  • This looks so cool. Love the old school look but with updated effects. Just good old fashioned exploration. Bring it on!

  • it looks goof but the soundtrack seems to be lacking. i hope we dont have to lsiten to ambient the whole game

  • GG

  • Well, this is going to be the next indie success, you guys have got something truly special on here... PLEASE for the love of biscuits, get this onto Steam !

  • @TerminatorStarcraft Got to agree. On steam for a decent price, and I would buy this for sure. Looks good.

  • GOTTA LOOK FAST

  • woaaaa!! can't wait to play this game :) brings back the good old times! :D

  • Oh shit they are still making those kind of games? Do want!

  • the block movement <3

    this will be an instant buy

    90s Dungeon Crawlers 4ever!

  • i like it

    not in a dark souls or diablo type of way

    but i like it

    i can tell its buggy, but they are still working on it

    i will be buying this whenever they release it

  • @RoyalCrownedHead For me, this style blows Diablo away. I prefer to use my brain in combat, and not just see how fast I can click.

  • OMG!! I Had a panic attack when the giant snail attacked

  • Looks absolutely amazing! Will get it on my iPad or Mac day one!

  • Has there been any word about a price for the game?

  • I want to prey game.

  • dungeon master its exactly the same but updated graphics

  • Wait Wait your telling me that this is a dungeon crawling game? ummm sorry fiance no sex tonight im playing legend of grimrock! :D

  • is it a point and click game? like Myst?

  • This looks awesome! I love me some dungeon crawl games

  • I dodged 99 arrows but my knee took one!

  • The detail is incredible and the gameplay looks impressive. I just hope it keeps its appeal after 3 or 4 hours of playing.

  • i want this game!

  • 1:10 this is strictly GENIAL

  • YEEEEEES!!!! IMPOSSIBLE, im happy this is the best thing for me friends! Really, I was only going retro last many years, I finnishe EOB1-3 MANY TIMES, I play lands of Lore 1 now as well as Dungeon Master 2, also I play Stonekeep. And I lost a hope. And now THIS. Ok I will buy it, not torrent it down, after sooo many FUCKING years!! Something that I will glady PAY FOR! Really this is somehing like blessing, like meeting God for me people. IM 30 AND I played since ZXspectrum+.Nothing HC last years

  • No music? I was hoping for some epic music like the one I heard in the beta trailer video! =(

  • Awesome indie game! It really reminds me of Stonekeep.

  • Looks fantastic, and I was never really a fan of crawlers!

  • Cursor...

  • That spider attack noise reminds me of the infamous Minecraft bow-shooting sound...

    Scares the shit out of you when you don't expect it

  • HAHA, so many of the comments here were posted by people who aren't old enough to remember the FTL days on Atari ST/Amiga... This game pays tribute to one of THE most important Role Playing games in Computer Game history, DUNGEON MASTER (Google it !!!). It was eventually evolved by other developers into more technically advanced titles, but DM pretty much got the ball rolling for the FPS RPGs. Can't wait for this, and yes, I'm that old :-)))

  • @Serenade314 I liked the first person dungeons crawls, and loved DM's magic system.

    I would totally buy some games in that style.

  • @Serenade314 So fucking what? I think that it's good that this kind of games are being brought to the new generations. Its not just for "old farts".

  • I hope this game has lots of loot.

  • This is THE FUTURE of Dungeon Crawlers! WE LIVE AGAIN!!!!

  • This looks friggin' awesome! Can I get Cure Serious Wounds and Turn Undead in this?

  • I'd play the shit out of this on my smartphone.

  • awesome

    

  • Another thing I'm thinking about is that while you essentially play 4 people by the look of it, it feels like you're one person. I have no idea how you'd make it feel like 4 people on this apart from going third person, but meh. I can live with feeling like one person.

  • @Abengoshis think of the combat as more of a puzzle

  • @tomroxelf That doesn't change the feeling of a single person. xD

  • @Abengoshis yeah but, as soon as you start pklaying the game that goes away because the battles are extremely interesting

  • @tomroxelf I hope so!

  • When you finish the game and start over, is it exactly the same game or is there a random system for Dungeon/objects?

  • How is movement controlled? Is it Q and E to turn and WASD to move between tiles?

  • I think the sounds for the spider could get annoying though. They will vary in pitch or have multiple sounds in the release, right?

  • @Abengoshis Man this is like... alpha or something, relaaax xD

  • @AxlCake So as a potential buyer its my duty to say what I think is wrong with it to help. :P

  • @Abengoshis Good point.

  • The mechanics of this game are intriguing. I love it! You've got another customer here!

  • This. Looks. FUCKING.... GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIOOOOOOOOOO­OUUUUUUUUUUUS

  • Tell me where to send the money AlmostHuman. I require this game forthwith!

  • 10 Euro that this game will be the next best computer _RPG_(Yes, RPG, not action adventure ala TES5)?

  • Notch sent me here.

  • is it randomly generated?

  • Thumbs up if you came from Notch!

  • Hmm, looks like a classic, old school dungeon crawler. I'll keep it on my radar.

  • looks like it plays as tes are3na :)

  • ALL OF MY MONEY

  • I don't get the combat at all, is it real time? which character lose hp and how?

  • I only found out about this game just now... I want this game, now!

  • Jesus, a killer snail.

  • Need to BUY this Game!!!! this game is awesome...

  • @kochonlebest - I actually do - and I loved those games. But back then, the gameplay and the low graphics came together formed the feeling of gaming in that generation. But dear God, why bother making beatiful scenes, meshes, animations and more if it's supposed to be ruined by an irritating movement motoring. Nostalgia is fine - my opinion is just that they should get it together the last few feet and make things fit together. I'm a dickhead - not on purpose.

  • @capo2k8 Maybe that's true. But at least I can sleep calm at night knowing I didn't participate in mixing great graphics with horrible gameplay. ;) call me a dickhead.

  • OMG this look amazing! I want it now!

  • I want this game right now, to play while waiting for Skyrim. I LOVED Lands of Lore, EOB, Anvil of Dawn, etc.

  • DO WANT.

  • Holy crap, this looks crazy fun. This isn't even in alpha yet!?

  • Amazing game but is it going to be like might and magic that you have like 4 chars or more like lands of lore when you gather your team wile you'r playing. I really hope it will go as land of lore.. Any one has some information, please inform me.

  • Wow, modern graphics worked better with an old school rpg gameplay system than I thought. DO WANT.

  • Man, that is awesome, hope that those guys would make this game without much problems. Now someone has to make an rpg based on second edition of AD&D with a top-down view.

  • Is this out yet? Cause' it's AWESOME!!!

  • I want it.

  • looks so good i wonder what engine its using

  • @TraitorBagel I seem to remember the game developers mentioning that they will be using their own engine. Beyond that I do not know. Their site is grimrock.net but I haven't really looked into it properly yet. I definitely agree with you, though.

  • @Thoreksir wow thats quite a feat to create an engine that looks that good, then again i would imagine a new engine is required for a Dungeon Master sort of game where you move in squares etc. It kind of looks familiar, especially the graphics but i can't put my finger on what it is. Definately looking forward to the alpha release!

  • @Beweren You're a dickhead

  • @Beweren You've obviously never even heard of Lands of Lore, or Eye of the Beholder. There's a whole legacy behind what you call square games. Long live Gladstone!

  • @kochonlebest AND MINECRAFT!!!! Do NEVER forget minecraft! >:(

  • @flendten I was talking about old school games. But I do play minecraft a LOT. Thanks to Notch for pointing me to this game!

  • @kochonlebest oh oka heeh, yearh notch pointed me to this game too ^^ Notch is da god!

  • @kochonlebest I thought I were the only one alive who remembers Lands of Lore :-O MAN, what an awesome game! I am currently looking for the CD-version to give it a good re-play ^^ The CD-version features the voice talent of the one and only Patrick Stewart narrating the story plus voicing King Richard! Good times, good times :-)

  • @ShamblerDK google good old games (gog) and lands of lore they have it for under 6 dollars

  • @ShamblerDK I have it in its box and everything. There's always good auctions or buy0itnow's on ebay. I could share the game with you if you don't feel like buying it, send me a message.

  • @Beweren Squary? I guess you have never heard of lands of lore, eye of the beholder and might and magic

  • I'm not here because of Notch. Will people stop goin' on about his fat ass!

  • @capo2k8 I'm pretty sure this games developer(s) thinks otherwise.

  • Fuck YES! Dungeon Master on Steroids!!!!!

  • MON FUL IR! MON OH KATH RA!

  • So, Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder. Cool. About time we got a modern version. I won't be getting it, though - even Back in the Day my memory sucked too badly for memorizing glyph patterns to cast spells (hence why, though I'd love to play it, I haven't picked up Magicka :(.

  • When I saw the video, I cried for joy. It's a great remake of Dungeon Master, the game that when I was little I used to play on my Apple //GS. :'-)

  • Damn after seeing that spell system and the strategies needed to kill monsters, i'm in for another addicting indie game better then main stream crap.

  • @JohnPortfolio2010 lol so hipster

  • I WANT THIS.

  • PICK UP THOSE KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVES­SSSSSSSSSS!!!!

  • looks like fun!

  • This is making my cry tears of joy. This is what the Might and Magic series could have become had it gone on. I'm so happy to see this style of game return.

  • Imagine a future, where we were able to play these types of games in a virtual reality setting, tricking ourselves into thinking the game was real. The psychological element of being stuck within a dungeon would be insane.

  • Pft!!!!! Eye of the beholder, Wizardry, Lands of Lore. Wrong wrong wrong!!! Dungeon Master!!

  • @BluntObjectTrauma I see you are a Gentleman with refined taste. I tip my hat to you, sir!

  • Wow, this game looks like a modern , polished (and let's hope just as awesome) version of Eye Of The Beholder I

  • Oh no, a GIANT SNAIL!!! Run! AHHHHHHH!

  • Finally, a first person grid-based dungeon crawler! I have been waiting my whole life for this- Oh wait a minute millions of these already existed in the 80s nevermind.

  • YAY! But can it have a switchable turn by turn mode for combat (with less rewards but more options?). Otherwise fantastic! A game, a demo, a long-play, a walkthrough, a book, something but take your time! Don't hurry and release an alpha with 6-patch-in-a-month routine, pleeeease! And don't make a scenarioless hack'n slash game. Wizardry VII was perfect although difficult.

  • Are you frikkin kidding me?? I'm SO gonna play this game A LOT!! :D RIght on track with "Eye of the Beholder, "Black Crypt", "Skullkeep"! :D

  • Love the graphics style, looks sort of Penumbra/Amnesia-ish.

    Subscribed, so please provide more information down the line :)

  • what? No F.O.E. ?

  • This don't look like it'll run on my 386.

  • i won't lie, notch brought me here. But i've gotta say, this is just looking utterly fantastic! you guys are reviving an entire genre of video games, and I wish you the best of luck in fulfilling this task. In my eyes, a crucial part of the gaming industry itself is depending on you guys! Don't let crucial part die!

  • Chambered?

    

  • is this made with CryEngine3 ?

  • Don't fuck this up please.

  • i wants it! personally i'd like old school music as well though in the game. but im definately buying this!

  • great gameplay .. !

  • I just hope they will make it as close as possible to Land of Lore. The map system, items, dungeons, etc. I would be happy if you couldn't have 4 chars at start, its fun to find someone in your path that follows you and your journey. I loved that 4 handed beast in LoL he was amazing.

  • Can't wait for that game :)

  • looks damn awesome!!

  • How is this like Skyrim? It's a Roguelike, meaning randomly generated dungeons, item drops, etc. and if it follows the formula most Roguelike's do, it will be nothing like Skyrim.

    Also this game is likely going to be far FAR cheaper than Skyrim for PC, I mean 59.99 for the DIGITAL version is retarded. I get burned on most AAA titles nowadays with their super conservative design philosophies meaning little variance and nothing truly challenging.

  • Cant wait =0

  • I would prefer the use of a grid inventory system for this sort of game. Looking at the menu was quite disappointing

  • My thoughts:- Nice graphics. Could use more atmosphere. Looks far too easy, I hope this was either a buffed party or there will be difficulty levels. The gameplay looks very boring. You took an almost 30 year design and you improved the graphics, why did you not improve everything else? The average old school RPG fan doesn't really care about graphics. If I want to play something like this I can load up dosbox and play any of a huge number of games like this.

  • @MrLetsdolunch

    I can't judge entirely from this short movie of course. But it does leave me a little bored. I could never play another game which only has a few spells like fireball, freeze, and poison. Please, before you release this game and wonder why only 12 people bought it, go and sign up to the trial of Rift. It's free. Try the characters and see how it plays, and then ask yourself, when there are games doing stuff like that, why would anyone want to play something like this?

  • @MrLetsdolunch i see your point, but as an old school rpg veteran myself i'm very excited by this game. i think its cool to have old school gameplay with updated graphics. just giving my 2 cents.

  • @michatube23

    I dunno, is it really that much better looking than games like Stonekeep? Maybe it's just me but I never cared about the graphics in games like Eye of the Beholder 2. I loved them because of the little things, like the puzzles, the difficulty, the incredibly nasty level where you can't rest, the very varied dungeon types, etc. I can still play any number of those old classics with DosBox. New graphics are nice but, I don't see the point if there's not new gameplay too.

  • @MrLetsdolunch At least you're optimistic

  • @FxBxProductions

    I am a bit. I enjoyed the old RPG's at the time, so it could just be like playing one of those again. But it's just that as I get older and as games get better and better, it becomes harder to find the motivation to load up dosbox and play one of those old games now.

  • Looks amazing!

  • Eye of beholder from super nintendo :D

  • Yeah this looks really good. Glad to see this type of game is finally coming back. Eye of the Beholder 2 was always one of my favorite games. It didn't have the best graphics even at the time, but it had an atmosphere about it that I've not seen since.

  • This brings back memories of good old Stonekeep.

    Very fluid. Very immersive.

  • Awesome game excited to see more

  • I WAS SENT HERE BY NOTCH!

  • Looks like pure shit... Just play Skyrim for life when it releases.

  • @QuietNoob

    I was going to say something to you...

    But your Name actually does it!

  • @QuietNoob Wow, fail troll is a fail indeed

  • @Jman37X

    Trolling or not, he has a point. Why the hell would you play something like this when you could play Skyrim? Seriously, give me just ONE reason, and I won't be forced to insult your stupidity. I guess you could say price, maybe this game will only be cheap. But really, if you can't afford the price of a game like Skyrim, then you need to sort your life out... Besides that, yes, give me ONE reason to play this over Skyrim. Do you really think this will do ANYTHING better than Skyrim?

  • @MrLetsdolunch

    And for what it's worth. I hate the Elder Scrolls games. They are a dumb ass casual glorified hack n slash "Action RPG" for the modern gamers. But 1) It's pretty much all we have now. And 2) It's still head and shoulders above this game.

  • @MrLetsdolunch Why do you keep comparing it to Skyrim? It's not TRYING to be like Skyrim, it's not even the same genre. Please get your facts straight next time.

  • @Jman37X

    THEY ARE BOTH RPG'S YOU FUCKING MORON. And they are both due soon. Only an idiot would play something like this when you can play something like that which is 10 times better in every possible way. There is nothing more that I would love than a new Eye of the Beholder type game, but it would at least need to be able to live up to modern standards. This looks like it's straight out of the 80's but with flashy graphics.

  • @MrLetsdolunch Oh, sorry, I forgot there OBVIOUSLY aren't different types of RPG's. My bad. Man your fucking stupid, just because there both RPG's, doesn't mean there ANYTHING alike. That's like saying Legend of Zelda is ripping off Fallout, or some stupid shit like that.

  • meh like

  • Looks great! Very nostalgic, I love the magic system

  • Wow, I've never played a real dungeon crawler before but this looks awesome.
