Deathfire

Description

“Deathfire: Ruins of Nethermore” is a first-person, party-based role-playing game featuring turn-based combat, with a focus on the story and character development. Developed by fully independent developer and publisher G3 Studios in Southern California, and spearheaded by veteran game designer/producer Guido Henkel (Planescape: Torment, Realms of Arkania Trilogy, Fallout II, etc.), the game is currently in its early stages of development and is scheduled for release in 2014.

History

Feeling somewhat unhappy with the current state of the computer role-playing game industry where open worlds and quest hunts dominate the genre, we felt it was time to take a step back and re-examine what made Golden Era role-playing games such as the “Realms of Arkania” series, the “Wizardry” games or the “Might & Magic” games such memorable and lasting experiences. As a result we came up with a game concept that hearkens back at these classic titles but approaches it with renewed vigor and modern day technology. Doesn’t that sound like a game you would want to play?
