I can believe it. The original Horizons was completely different from what we got. But, still, the crafting and some monsters in that game were SO amazing.

The game is not even in alpha (I believe), so it's still got a lot of work. I'm hoping this does well because I've wanted a Horizons.

I was reading around, they even have an insect infestation of things called "Skitter" and there are hives popping up in various zones where these things are spilling out. lol?

Lol it's in Alpha man. That shit will be changed 100 times over again. I said it "might" be worthy of checking out. Get it "might"

The name is fucking silly. It sounds like either Alanon or Algernon (as in Flowers for.)

Their first expansion will be called, The Blistering Campaign.

alpha who the fuck cares. at the current level, everything is blatantly ripped off of another game. If he doesn't have creativity and originality at this level, he won't have it later.

I can understand if the UI resembles WoW.. or maybe the quest structure or something. But that's what WoW would look like if it was released for Windows 95 back in 1996

Do you get a 4 or 16 slot bag for getting oats for Horsey? If its a 16 slot bag, this is truly an innovative game.

[Kodylan]

Eh, while the UI is definitely a rip of WoW, I'm not sure that looks exactly like Westfall. It's farmland, so that's what you'd typically expect it to look like.

That said, why in the fuck is he releasing screenshots of atrocious alpha builds? They need to hire a marketing guy, because they obviously don't have one yet -- no one would ever allow shots like that to be made public.

Edit: http://www.alganon.com/images/screen...489screen2.jpg -- gotta love how "Andar Guardsman" has a title under its name called "Andar Guard." ...really? I'd never have thought that was an Andar Guard by the name!

That game looks like WoW so much the devs should be fucking ashamed. At least make a pretense of not ripping blizz off.

[dechire]

that looks fucking hideous. ill take a big fat PASS on this one.

[Saban]

ripping off the WoW interface is one thing, ripping off everything else is another.
