"It will be right after," he said, repeating the familiar refrain of small company: one thing at a time. I asked about a Mac version of the game the first Torchlight worked on most Apple laptops, and was fun to play on the road. "We think we're going to get a lot more out of the community now, because multiplayer mods are much more fun to share," he said. You will be able to make new game modes, new campaigns, new powers. The tools won't be simple to use, Schaefer told me, but they will be powerful. The team doesn't yet know how many people can play at once, but it will be between four and eight players, adjustable via game-modding tools to be released alongside the game. This is the biggest addition to the game: the ability to play with your friends through the game's campaign. We played the game together, happily clicking on the enemies and the loot as we talked about the game.
"No, actually you're right, it's a ferret, but I've been saying it's a honey badger because he don't give a shit." "That's a honey badger," Schaefer says, laughing. I pointed to his pet, asking if that's a ferret. Another creates a sort of dragon totem over the character, enabling you to breathe fire at the bad guy. I began my play as Berserker, which offers fast, powerful attacks along with an animal theme: one costly attack causes wolves to run from your body and attack the target enemy. Here's what's new in the game, and why you should be excited.įirst, there's the Berserker, the new class announced at E3. Why leave something big to create something you're passionate about, only to make that big? Schaefar seems more than comfortable staying small, creating one thing at a time. Still, aren't they leaving money on the table? Why not expand the size of the company? "We came from large companies," Schaefer told me, describing the team that is creating Torchlight 2. I had a chance to try out many of the updates and new pieces of content for the game, and I'm already in love. This is what Max Schaefer, the CEO of Runic Games, told me over and over during my preview of Torchlight 2: "We're a small team, we can only do one thing at a time." This is the answer when I asked about an Xbox 360 version of the upcoming game or a possible iPad version of the game-a prospect they're interested in.
