Spread your patron god's good nature across the world, drawing in support from others - or unleash hellish powers in their name, make others cower before your god's might, and reap fell rewards for your service.

The Ban Hammer Podcast

The guys over at TwonkHammer invited Forsaken Studios onto their weekly podcast, the Ban Hammer, to talk a bit about Embers of Caerus. Dave Belcher, Founder and Technical Director, and Mark Hope, Senior Writer, both joined them for the podcast.

Cue a really fun discussion about all aspects of Embers of Caerus; how the project started, where the project is going and a whole load of deep information on some of the planned core game systems. What was intended to be a short interview, followed by another segment, ended up a whopping 90 minutes of really great discussion. I think it's safe to say the crew of the Ban Hammer were converted, and rather excited about the project!

Tune in to hear everything that was discussed HERE. (The EoC segment starts at ~28m. Sorry, indiedb won't let us embed the podcast directly)

Twonkhammer - Introducing Embers of Caerus articles

Twonkhammer have also posted a bunch of great articles to help folks get to grips with what Embers of Caerus is, and how it is different to other games out there. Go check out all seven articles starting with part 1 here:

I reckon it would be awesome if this game was around for 5 years or so and then another great fire killed everybody and number 2 came out =)

We are hoping (no promises!) to have something the Alpha test crew can get their hands on this year. This won't be the full game, rather a subset of the prototype we are currently working on. And thanks :)

[Thorendir]: how will combat look like? what can we expect? since you mentioned mortal online will you try something like that?

and how will you manage to keep the skills balanced, so htere is nothing like 90 str 50 dex 70 stam best warrior, so we can fully enjoy all skills and mixtures without being underpowered
