Q. Will the game continue to undergo polishing after the game's been released?
A. (S.M. 2/6) The formal answer is yes, we have a support clause written into our contract. The honest answer is we hope so, we want nothing short of releasing the most awesome D&D game ever.
Q. Will the Troika/ToEE site get any more facelifts?
A. (M.M. 3/4) our site is low-budge for now. We are hoping to revamp soon.Q. What language are you writing the gamecode in?
A. (S.M. 2/6) The renderer is written in C, the animation player is in C++, the game logic and user interface is also written in C, and most of the scripting is done in Python (thanks Guido).
Q. Is there any news about Troika's other project?
A. (S.M. 2/11) Everybody on the other project has a rare form of foot fungus that prevents them from talking about their game.
Q. Is there any friendly competition at Troika between your team and the team working on the other, unmentioned, game?
A. (S.M. 2/6) Nothing more than your friendly competitive nightly game of counter strike. We also just started up a game of Trade Wars 2002 (old school BBS style).
Q. Are the two teams separate, or is there a bit of mingling whenever you/they need help in a pinch?
A. (S.M. 2/6) They are within smelling distance... if that's what you mean. Heheh just kidding guys! Actually we're all in the same building, the nearest non ToEE team member is only 15 feat away from my office.
Q. When you get ToEE out the door, is your team going to merge with the other team to help get that other game finished? Or will you start on a sequel?
A1. (S.M. 2/6) Too early to tell... no plans are made at this time and I don't even think all of the possibilities have opened up.A2. (T.C. 3/27) I am thinking of Against the Giants as a potential sequel. Of course, there will only be a sequel if the sales of the first one are high enough.
