Message: <blockquote data-quote="Olgar Shiverstone" data-source="post: 1108515" data-attributes="member: 5868">Just an announcement for the General folks who may not visit the Software boards:The new D&D 3.5 Computer RPG, <a href="http://www.greyhawkgame.com" target="_blank">Temple of Elemental Evil</a> has gone gold, and is due to ship on September 23rd.For those not familiar with the terminology, going gold means the game is content and code complete, has been playtested, passed publisher QA, and the original gold master CD has been made from which the game copies will be duplicated -- meaning all that is left is to duplicate CDs, package them, and ship.Temple of Elemental Evil is published by Atari and developed by Troika (who previously developed the Arcanum CRPG and has developers who worked on Fallout, and is also developing a Vampire CRPG).  If the press and previews are correct, the game will most likely be the most accurate party-based, single-player D&D CRPG to date, with a very strict adherance to the D&D 3.5 rules -- to include turn-based combat -- as well as an extremely close interpretation of the original module.  The Troika team are PnP D&D players as well as CRPG game designers, so the game shows a lot of promise.There's a chat today (5 Sept, 4 PM PST) with the head of the development team, Tim Cain, at <a href="http://www.gamespyarcade.com/launch/launch.asp?svcname=GameSpy.com" target="_blank">Gamespy Arcade</a>.Here's one of the <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/436/436743p1.html" target="_blank">gone gold announcements</a>.EN World discussion of the game has been going on at <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42352" target="_blank">this thread on the Software boards.</a></blockquote>
