Some local Vancouver guys are developing this game - I'm looking forward to it - seems like it's a gritty fantasy xcom for PC/Mac/Linux. I think it might be up the alley of a few people here as well: http://www.darkestdungeon.com/

I posted a little about this in the PC thread, I think.  It looks great.  :)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

That looks awesome.  Pity it looks a very long way from release.  Not even a screenshot yet.

Well, it certainly sounds exciting, and I like the faux-Mignola art style they've got going on the webpage. Count me: intrigued.

Yes, a very interesting concept. Looking forward to see if they can follow through on it. :)

Unsurprisingly, the game managed to meet its KS goal in the first day.

That Kickstarter is a hell of thing.  I wouldn't have thought it would work, but it has.

Oh and I like the art design they are invoking with that game.  Very Mike Mignola.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hey if any of you guys want to contribute to the kickstarter there are 30 hours left and I really hope they reach that 350K goal: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460250988/darkest-dungeon-by-red-hook-studios

With only six hours remaining, I'm fine with $300K. They can rely on sales to get the other 50K to do the mod support. Trailers are fine but honestly a bit throwaway. I'd rather have more game over a couple of videos any day.
