Torchlight Action RPG by ex Blizzard North

I have been following the development of this for a while and I would like to correct a few misconceptions.



No MP at all. Torchlight is a single player game. The MP version will be a MMO due for release in 18 months (although I would take that figure with a pinch of salt this far out). The devs have said that they will move to the MMO immediately after release and not develop Torchlight any further.



Its not a level editor as such, they are releasing the full tools used to develop the game in the first place, so you can change or add classes, skills, spells and items, completely change the look or how the game plays, just about anything you can think of.

Runic aren't going to host mods themselves (for legal reasons) but there are 2 fan sites (that I know of) being set up for mod hosting here and here.

Also the developers are posting regularly on the official forums with information and tips.



The UK price I heard was £12.99, but the game is only digital download initially, although there will be a boxed version in the new year. It will be available from the Runic website so you should pay $20 plus bank fees. It will also be available from Perfect World, Steam, direct to drive and others.

The best bit is you can download the demo which is the full game, play it and if you like it then pay for an unlock key to get the full game (no further downloading needed).

BTW, checkout the latest promo on youtube :D (if you are at work be careful). The girl in the white top is actually a staff member at Runic (posts on the forums as 'Wonder')

Here is a discussion about the available resolutions available, get the information straight from the horses mouth (BTW, don;t look at the horse thread in the official forums)

There are a number of different countdown clocks on the net and they all seem to show different times. I am going on the one on the main Runic site which expires tomorrow at midday, which by coincidence is the earliest to expire.
 
When i first read about the game i read it will have an infinate dungeon, is it still going to have that? as that sounds like something that would make me buy the game.

the dungeons are built up by segments and they are randomly generated to make a dungeon I believe

When you complete the game the Endless Dungeon opens up so you can just keep playing and playing.
