innociv, let me provide a situation for you. If we assume that for your skills method at level 3 would be equivalent to my skill method at level 3, then both methods would allow you to have a spell that deals direct damage to the target as well as AoE damage. However, what happens if you don't want to deal AoE (say because you want to use the skill only to kill demigods). With my system, you can ignore the additional skill of AoE damage and concentrate only on direct damage, thereby improving

Is Oomeijoo an affectionate name used that was created by one of the designers/artists children when they were trying to pronounce Demigod?

OrleanKnight, that is a very in-depth game you have proposed. I think something like that would have strategists over the moon considering the amount of customisation they can do before the game even starts, however, I wonder how newb friendly that game would be. I think it's a great idea, but I feel that it caters to a niche market and therefore wouldn't get a large amount of sales (that's just an observation, I could be wrong. I wonder how many ppl bought Culdcept).

For those of you who haven't played Titan Quest, below is an example of the type of synergy I am talking about: [U][B]Base Skill: Ice Shard (Available at: Level 1)[/B][/U] Effect: Does a certain amount of damage to a single target. Adding points to this skill increases damage [U][B]Additional Skill: Shatter (Available at: Level 3)[/B][/U] Effect: Adds area of effect damage to Ice Shard.

The Great Skill Debate in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

There has already been a huge amount of discussion in separate threads concerning the skill style that Demigod should use for its Demigods. From what I can gather, there seems to be two lines of thought: Warcraft 3 style skill tree: This focuses on a small group of skills, possibly with a rather large usage environment (by this I mean that the skill is depended on what it is used on, i.e. AoE for minions, direct damage for Demigods) Diablo 2 style skill tree: A large ra

Great little journal article Hellchick into the "creepy" world of UI design. :) Did you have much involvement in the Supreme Commander UI, more specifically did you see some of the good work that Goom and Saya did with Supcom UI mod? I for one, am a big fan of customisable UI's, and if this is possible for Demigod (time permitting), I think that would be a great asset. Nothing like customisable UI's and hotkeys to improve gameplay.

Magicide, send an email to [email protected] with your concerns. I'm sure they will be able to sort it out for you. They will have your email address in their system, so they should be able to source your tax invoice/receipt number for you.

If you visit this link http://forum.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=13032 , Mad Boris provides a link to a small piece of software that can greatly improve the frame-rate of Supreme Commander if you have a multi-core PC. I was thinking that if either this mod (with approval from Mad Boris i suspect), or something similar was integrated into Demigod it would help lower the system requirements for Demigod from the get go.

I believe Demigod will be using the impulse for matchmaking, but I wonder if they will use some of the ideas implemented within GPGNet, specifically the right to challenge an opponent to a ranked match.
