IMG: Is Avernum 4 an all-new game engine or is it an evolution of previous versions?

Vogel: It's almost an all-new engine. I took the engine from Geneforge, massively modified it, and completely reworked the game system.

Avernum 4 is fully turn-based, like all Avernum games. It has a completely seamless world, with no "zones." If you get a monster angry enough, it can chase you a very long way.

The game also has a higher screen resolution than many of our games, and most of the graphics will be completely new.
