Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
Bit of news for anyone who enjoyed the RPG Arx Fatalis:
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
Arkane, the chaps behind Arx Fatalis are working on a new game. Alas not a sequel to Arx Fatalis (how many times can I mention Arx Fatalis in this post?) but a continuation of the long running Might & Magic series.
Obviously that’s great for fans of Might & Magic (which gets a big old ‘eh?’ from me) but a bit disappointing for those of us hoping for a sequel to Arx Fatalis or even better something completely new!
Check Arkane out at:

Oh, and they’re advertising for level designers familiar with something called the ‘Source’ engine!

The Source engine seems to be the engine developered for Half Life 2, but now licenced separately:

How cooler a job would that be (in theory)?

I must be more subtle than I thought - I was being a bit sarcy with the last sentence!

Yes it’s the luverly Source engine. It’s already been put to use in a RPG by the developers Troika for the catchily named ‘Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines’. Sadly it was their last game before they went bust!
