So apparently "Mythos" isn't dead after all!

And to top it of, apparently Hanbitsoft gave Redbana rights to work on Mythos itself.

Interesting!

Thanks for the update. Even if there wasn't great depth to it, I quite enjoyed this game, especially when a friend was around to party with

yeap! was just coming here to post it!

Edit: I've checked http://www.runicgames.com/ since the game went under. Man.... I so so so so so so so so so miss Mythos.

I'm afraid that game might get overshadowed by DIII.

 

[imported_sushicide]

It will, but I'm still gonna play both.

Mythos was great. But I have a feeling that a lot of the things I liked about it won't be the same without the Flagship Seattle team working on it. So I'm more excited to see what Runic comes up with (although it's probably a while out) but this could be cool as well.

If they get released around the same time it wont even be a choice. I imagine torch/mythos will be released well before D3 though.

I had completely forgotten about Mythos...

Hope Torchlight works out

Oops. Disregard my comment. I thought the screenshot posted was of Mythos renamed to Torchlight being worked on by whoever Hanbitsoft is having develop the IP. But Torchlight IS Runic's game. It's great to see screenshots already!

And take a look at Runic's page. Recently they had this art contest as a way of getting candidates for an open art position. But now they say they filled it and it's just cool that they are quite open and honest with the community and that to me is a big reason why I was into Mythos.

Going against D3 is just about impossible but I think a similar model as Mythos could still fit in and not directly compete with D3. If you remember towards the end of Mythos they all of a sudden went to trying this MMOish world, along with a 3rd person view. And with Mythos they were going with free to play with microtransactions.

I'm not sure where D3 is other than 2010 probably, but I wouldn't expect Torchlight until 2010 either. But I think it is likely to be simpler at first. Not that I mean dumbed down, but that they won't try to do too much at once. In interviews with the Flagship guys, they acknowledged that hurt Hellgate.

My best guess for D3, and I've given it some thought, is winter 2010 or summer 2011. I'd bet money.

Runic is working real hard to get Torchlight out. They want to finish it by the end of the year.

Forums are up!

Ah okay I see now. The 2009 release they are working on is singleplayer. The MMO release isn't slated until 2011.

Still moving quick though. I'll be watching this one.

This game looks good. I don't know if it really will be, but I like the style in the screenshots a lot.

Wait, now you're confusing me! Those videos are from Mythos. OP is about Torchlight!

Still interesting though. Mythos was in a decent enough shape that it'd have to be a bad team to mess it up too badly. Mythos is not going to be a US release though right?
