Yeah, you gotta really understand, there are only so many games like this in creation. Fallout 1 and 2 are excellent examples, Eschalon Series 1, 2 and 3 are good examples, The Quest is a good example. Other than that, all you have are roguelikes like Dredmor and Tome which frankly I am not into.
My favorite likes are turnbased single character based rpgs that rely on exploration and what not. Fallout and Eschalon are prime examples but the Quest delivers as well.
I still do like Turnbased party based games like Avernum and what not but this area is just much more diverse.
1-I don't need this game to come out soon, I just hope it would come out eventually and hope that it doesn't get cancelled like other projects.
2-Ok I just purchased the game and only wish I could do more to help your project. Hopefully spreading the word will help you guys.
