Level 60 or GTFO indeed. You can tell from the artwork it's going to be a fantastic and highly amusing game to play, I personally can't wait.

So over the years Sam and I have played many games from all different genres. While most games generally share similar ideas overall, every once in awhile you'll experience something that sticks with you because of how awesome it was. It might be a quest with a great story, maybe an intense boss encounter, perhaps even just a specific environment, dungeon, or town that left you feeling like you were actually there. Sometimes it's certain characters and their personalities, etc. It could even just be a cool item, ability, or spell. Whatever it may be it leaves you with a great memory and sometimes you wish you could experience it again.

I completely agree with the parts in bold. The game should definitely focus on a great storyline for the character. I feel that you become attached to the characters emotionally, and physically (not in a sexual way... I hope... Unless it's Tifa or Yuna from Final Fantasy), but moving on... Characters and their backgrounds are one thing a game like this needs to get right. And considering YOU create the "Hero" in this, you definitely don't want to have a dull story reflecting your own cool character.

As for items. Well come on, who doesn't want to go through the game and go from a Wooden Sword to a ULTIMA SCYTH OF FIRE AND DOOM. For some people it's how the weapon looks, for others it's the name or the abilities of the weapon. Would you prefer to have:

Sam and I have a lot of these memories and we think it would be cool to be able to relive some of them again, but this time in HTD. This means you might notice some of the content we create is greatly influenced by something else you might be familiar with. While we don't want to copy these things exactly, for several reasons, we would like to look at the general concept of something, add some S&D flavor, and create something that is both new and nostalgic.


Sweet. That is all.

We stopped to think though, why stop at just games? Some of our memories are from books or movies too, so why not add them into the mix? Lord of the Rings comes to mind. Also, Sam and I are only two people, we haven't played, read, or seen everything. So why not ask our fans! What are your favorite memories? Let's hear about them in the comments. Of course, anything we put into HTD has to be relevant. You're not going to see a bunch of stuff that doesn't really fit just so we can rereate the memory. Sorry Star Wars fans, I'm not sure a Death Star would fit into the HTD world exactly.. unless maybe you have space gnomes or something. :P


I dunno. I think crafting two things together, like a Fire Orb and a Holy Sword should create a Red Lightsaber trololol. But seriously, going back to the GTFO level 60 comment. It's meant to be fun right? There should totally be some hidden crafting items and easter eggs. Who wouldn't want to come across two items and create one hilarious useless item (or epic item for that matter). Craft "evil essence" with "dark ring" to get "The one right to rule them all" with a secret invisibility skill which just makes it that you can't see your hero in battle xD Or a over-powered attack with your sword which makes everyone "gtfo".

But yeah, I'm blabbering on again, read the rest of the update by following the links posted at the top.

What's your thoughts and opinions?

Cheers,

Yes. HTD=win. Soo gonna be AWESOME! Level 60 or GTFO lmao
