Dark Solstice- Beta by 12/31/05 - FAQ & Sound added

armanarman Member Posts: 13

I know there is another thread about Dark Solstice, but I thought you ought to see one of their screenshots. I think they are amazing. I am soooooo tired of the 3D landscapes, even the latest craze. These are refreshing and new. And if youread what they are saying on their message boards, the game itself sounds like a new approach. You can see the rest of the screenshots at

    WOW!!! 

    I missed when this was posted so I went to the page and viewed the other new ones. Terrific artwork. I can't wait to see more. image

    If the game is as good as their artwork, we're going to have one heckuva good time and I can keep on happytalking. image

    There is a whole page of art and screenshots on the website now! Take a look! :)

    The game is making me drool. :) It's definitely unique. :)

    It appears they have given a Beta date.

    "I am hesitant to give out any firm dates yet, but we are aiming for late Q3 or Q4 '05.  We think the development is far enough along to make that estimate.  If it looks like there will be any significant change to that timeframe, I will advise immediately.  - DSOverlord"

    Now I am realing looking forward to this game.  I hate waiting.  image

    For those that saw the first SS but didn't look at the site, I thought you might like to see another.  We are told that certain high level characters can buy these treehuts.  Too cool.

    Those tree houses in the concept art look awesome.

    Added a new screenshot of the desert.  This just keeps getting better.

    I definitely can't wait to explore this world. I think I'll be doing all exploring and no fighting. :D

    Those look more like concept art than screenshots.  Have the devs actually said those are screenshots?
  • bakalebakale Member Posts: 1

    The boards say screen shots. I hope they are!

  • armanarman Member Posts: 13

    They sure do not look like concept art to me. The graphic with the treehouses is clearly marked as "concept art". All the others are shown as actual screenshots. I think that's what makes this game so intriguing, llike someone on their boards said when they called it whimsical. As folks have been saying it feels refreshing.

    They don't look like concept art to me either and the site says that they are screen shots. They look incredibly cool. I can't wait to try this game.

    From the screenshots, it appears to be a 2D game, maybe similar to The Realm.

  • ValantheValanthe Member Posts: 11

    The fact that the game is 2.5D is the only thing this game and the Realm graphics have in common. The Realm graphics are light years behind from what I've seen. These are just too beautiful to even be compared to Realm.

    I'm fairly new to online games but this one has caught my eye. I like the look of it.

  • ellehcim529ellehcim529 Member Posts: 2

    I've tried playing 3D games and I just get confused. This looks like it might be more my speed. :)

  • OrentaldrgonOrentaldrgon Member Posts: 9
    the game looks a little cartoony but still looks really good.

    I've always liked cartoons. ::::28::

    The whole 3D thing is getting a bit old. I'm happy to see something like this.

  • AvitawayAvitaway Member Posts: 9

    Have just signed up for the Beta myself, looks very different and a refreshing change, looking forward to testing this, thanks for making us aware! image

  • bigfootharrybigfootharry Member Posts: 3

    I'm signed up, too, but I haven't got ranks high enough on this board to go hype it. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that in a day or two. It seems like an awesome game!

    It's nice to see the game is getting positive comments like this even if the graphics aren't 3D and it isn't made by a big company. I can't wait to play it with you guys! I'm sure the community will be great.
  • kbuddy530kbuddy530 Member Posts: 3

    Games definitely don't need to be 3D to be enjoyable. I find that I like the older style much better. You don't have to have a super computer to play it either.

  • pbjwitchpbjwitch Member Posts: 2

    This game reminds me of the old Sierra games. They were great.

  • armanarman Member Posts: 13

    The lanscapes are great. I'll bet the creaturee and characters are just as unique. Hope we see some soon.::::28::
