"Previous centuries have been defined by novels and cinema. In a bold manifesto we're proud to debut here on Kotaku, game designer Eric Zimmerman states that this century will be defined by games."

Interesting take on multiple layers of moral dilemmas  vs good-bad dichotomy in games. 

Cool looking kickstarter. These guys have all the right ideas. Player choices, huge worlds, puzzle elements, good crafting matrix, and player mods. I hope they can pull it off.

I'm glad someone if finally addressing this. "The Grind" in games (spending hours and hours doing the same actions to get better items) has long been one of my soap box rant topics. It's interesting that it took "freemium" games on Facebook and iOS to pave the way for big game houses like Blizzard (Diablo and WoW) to adopt a better standard. Still not sure I agree with the in-game auction house, but it's a start.

"It's fun when you win," he said, exhausted. "And boring when you lose. Haven't we moved past that yet?"

Yes. Probably. Maybe. 

Holy COW!! One guy made this! Damn, I'm lazy. 

I hope we see more of this. I have teacher friends in Atlanta and New York who do similar RPG-based lessons. Great idea. 

Can't wait to get some time to play this one. 

Yes; I've added it to my wishlist. Sadly, the kotaku review was a bit lukewarm on the story. Said the art was (obviously) gorgeous, and the gameplay was solid, but that the story dragged. I'll still end up playing it though.

It's definitely worth a play. One of my favorite games I've found on Steam. It's my favorite genre (TRPGs) and has a story that was solid. It's also really challenging.

Watch the video. Incredible.
