Dhsu Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This sounds horribly over-ambitious but I'm intrigued. Although ROFL @ "household computers have finally become fast enough to run Achron." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Intriguing. Assuming that they actually jumped all the hurdles that make time travel a nightmare, this might actually be a good game. Looks like something worth looking into when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Go back in time to create a steam punk mecha suit and rampage all over feudal Japan or terrorize the UK. I better see something akin to that damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Am I missing something? I don't see anything that indicates what the game is like, other than that it involves time travel. And that they'll likely expect everyone to upgrade to a $3000 system to play this when it's released. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, I love time travel scenarios and paradoxes as much as the next guy, but where's the gameplay? Any substantial info available yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, I love time travel scenarios and paradoxes as much as the next guy, but where's the gameplay? Any substantial info available yet? It's a text based RPG. It runs in DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's a text based RPG. It runs in DOS. I'm definitely gonna have to upgrade my computer for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebird Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'm a friend of the lead developer, and he told me that they will be posting more info as they get closer to unveiling at GDC. Next update should be this evening some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hrm... Multiplayer? I can't see this working out too good, but we'll have to see I suppose. I've always had a love for time travel and new concepts. I love thinking out of the box (See:Portal) so I'll at least check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've seen it. It's mind-bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm interested. Gonna keep my eye on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well. Sounds pretty ambitious, but if they actually manage to make it as cool as they're making it sound, I'll definitely be in line to get a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebird Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 They've now said it's a RTS. It'll be interesting to see what tricks people come up with for taking advantage of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syka Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 This looks...pretty confusing. I agree. I am intrigued, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Wow, I just watched the videos, I wanna try this out right now! I love how the time waves system works, you can effectively screw yourself over in an effort to get ahead and not feel the effects of the loss until a few minutes go by. That and with chronoporters, so long as you remember which unit was supposed to be where in time, you could make a whole army out of just one unit. The whole "outdoing the other guy" concept is huge here, you're gonna need to decide which battles it's most important for you to avoid or change. This is really cool *watched* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Very Exciting, This kind of engine could be the basis for a "Lost" RTS, once all is said and done with the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global-Trance Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Very Exciting, This kind of engine could be the basis for a "Lost" RTS, once all is said and done with the series. Only problem with that is the time travel in "Lost" is all about "whatever happened, happened." Time travel, regardless of whether you're dealing with a multiple dimension viewpoint or a single timeline viewpoint, assumes predestination. That Chrono Trigger stuff (as much as I love the game) just can't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
