Is it just me or does his god-swerd look like it was layered in and not part of the original?

So, it's going to be Unity Engine almost certainly. The links are there if you look at the art and do a small amount of research. Let's see what kind of magic they can work with it.

Brad told me to toss him a couple of questions. I've got a list going but if anyone wants to throw something out there and it's decent I can try and throw it in.

Yeah, I like the art too.

The winter-ghost lady is nice. The dark citadel is nice. Mr. Stormdickhammer BrownGod is... well. It is what it is and for what it is it is well done.

Besides the obvious - I'm curious about how they're going to handle alpha/beta access and in particular what they're going to do when they're in mid to late beta and they run out of money. Will they have a subscription based beta?

I think, but can't prove, that the artist is Tyler James who used to work for Trion. Though maybe I'm reading too much into that tweet:Art of Ty

One explicitly says Rochelle on it. I gave a 1 percent chance because I didn't want to come across like a dick, but yeah, it's the same dude.

Did come off assholish. Just was pointing you to the confirmation on the twitter feed. Wonder if that means he is going to try to get others hat worked on EQ also.

simple open-ended question that will likely get answers that are interesting to us rerolled nerds:

in what ways will your new game be similar to the original everquest? in what ways will it be different?

edit -- mention Vanguard too i guess but meh =p

I'm going to work yours and tads in (though they're both partially covered by mine to some extent) and cross my fingers he gets to at least a couple I've sent.

Edit: More specifically for yours pharm, I've got a few questions that are essentially along those lines though I expect Brad to hit on those classic EQ parallels regardless.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to have a solid, interesting art style/direction and not have it look like a fucking new-school tattoo. If the game is full of shoulderpads and swords like that, then fuck them in the ass with a shaft of freshly peeled ginger root. I want some fantasy art/style like Game of Thrones, not some 80's cartoon. Then I actually looked at some art/images of He-Man and Thundercat cartoon swords, and they're more plausible, interesting and most importantly cooler looking than that shit in the concept art. Doesn't it embarrass artists when actual cartoons make what should be badass fantasy art look childish and cartoony?

Ask about first person. I mean we know they're going to just go with third-person because... well they won't have a good reason, they'll just do it because that's what's done in WoW + since. But at least ask?
