At least in the German-speaking RPG-community your project is compared with Gothic 2. I bet you heared about this great game, but how much influence did it really have on Dungeon Lords? And is it really comparable to it in the end?

"I am familiar of course with Gothic and Gothic 2, and well as most other notable RPGs. During the initial design of Dungeon Lords, I spent a great deal of time studying many other games in order to glean where RPG of the future was going, and how I might best take it there. However, I really learned more by listening and observing the players themselves - what was fun, and what was not, what makes great RPG and what fails to inspire. In the end, Dungeon Lords was born out of the desire to build a better RPG for gamers, to provide a great RPG experience that is fun for all. RPG's are probably the most challenging computer games of all to develop, and any RPG that gains recognition is going to be quite deserving of it, Gothic included and a host of others as well. However, Dungeon Lords departs in so many ways with traditional RPGs, there's really no purpose with comparsion."
