caiman: Yeah, Feb 2010 is the official release date. I think the first beta should be out around April-May.

Let me get this right, you’re including this as a 2009 Unknown Pleasure because of the beta, right? The finished game isn’t scheduled until 2010. Is that still true?

I desperately want this to be awesome. But GalCiv and GalCiv II have majorly failed to click with me, so I have my doubts.

Oh man, Master of Magic was by far my favourite computer game as a kid, even though I could never get my version patched and thus had to avoid using the Spell of Mastery because my opponents would never attack me while I cast it and winning was too easy. I will definitely buy this if I can run it, especially if it has deep item-crafting options.

@Funky Badger: except for Eru, the Supreme Being. J.R.R. was a monotheist after all.

About this game: OH YES. And Brad does say all the right things.

*dons the Hat of Pedendtry* Morgoth (nee: Melkor) was the biggest and the baddest of the gods.

And I knew that, in the end, Spore would live for it’s single practical purpose – the spread of procedural generation. :D

The game dev diaries and really cool to read. Particularly the parts which talk about the customization options – kerrrrrist, if that happens, I think we will have an end-all fantasy strategy game.

Thick outline art design now screams to me “Prince of Persia”. And that’s not a bad thing.

The game doesn’t really sound like my kind of game, but I was impressed by the interview anyway.

If you brought together the entire worlds magic my bet is placed on their being a splode.

I like sci fi and historical/modern but i’m no setting nazi. You know i’ve met setting nazis who wont play sci fi or fantasy or world war 2 or modern combat. But maddeningly i’ve met people who will ONLY play the setting of their choice. Gladly my ww2 loving friend took his first step into non historical combat in call of duty 4 via 2. But! This game could be multi setting with its modding tools. I hope we see a modern combat mod within 3 weeks of release.
