Arlie Rahn Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Grey Dog Software is pleased to welcome a new developer to the team and announce the launch of a brand new title, "Arcadia: Guild of Heroes". Designed and developed by Derek DiBenedetto, Arcadia offers a new twist by combing the RPG genre with the concept of pro sports contracts. This unique blend of RPG and career text strategy sim is the first of its kind. Create your own party from randomly generated warriors every game, making sure to balance the strength of the character with the contract they request. As you exploring distant lands and pilfering all the riches you can, a fully detailed aging algorithm and injury/disease system forces you to make choices as they age about who to keep around, and who you may need to give the axe to. Combine these tough roster decisions with a myriad of quest choices as you struggle to keep your gold chest in the black. More information on this exciting new title will be revealed over the coming weeks. The new game is currently expected to be released in the 4th quarter at a price of $24.95. In the meantime, you can visit the Arcadia game page or head over to the Grey Dog forums to talk about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This has a lot of potential. Hopefully in time it can turn into a great game. I'm in love with the concept already. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn michaels Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I will temporarily come out of (temporary) retirement to be the first one to bash. You know...since freedom of speech is cool and all that. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Seriously, RPG's are definitely not my cup of tea, so it's not really good news to me. But a lot of people love the genre and mixing it up with the strategy part is a very original idea. The concept is not interesting to me at all, but I can see the potential behind it. And those SS look great. So even if I am probably not going to buy, or like, this, it is always good to see GDS branching out with new ideas and (most importantly) new developers. Good luck Derek, I hope you make it and I wish you the best of luck and all the success you can have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I saw Derek in another forum earlier and wondered why Derek B had changed his name. ¬_¬ Hah. Great to see new games coming out under the GDS banner, and this one sounds like an interesting concept. It feels sort of Oregon Trail meets Legend of Grimrock... which is tantalising.
