Here's an interesting one. A GDC presentation by Trinigy's Dag Frommhold has revealed a new RPG in the works at Spellbound. Trinigy is the developer of the Vision 8 Engine used by Spellbound to make Arcania: A Gothic Tale and, also, the new Ravensdale. A video of his 38 minute presentation sees Frommhold fire up a demo of Ravensdale, revealing a 3rd-person RPG with very nice art. The game is described as "sort of steampunk" and we see a gameworld that melds fantasy and steampunk elements, such as an ogre-like creature wearing a big machine on his back. The Ravensdale part starts at 10:00 and is well worth a look (http://nvidia.fullviewmedia.com/gdc2010/09-dag-frommhold.html).

Looks cool, but I'd like to see a better quality video. It seemed like the computer they were using could barely run that demo.

Doesn't work for me. Steampunk ought to have a Victorian style of setting. This looks like standard cod-medieval with steampunk gadgetry kludged on.

Yes, lets hope he had it on an underpowered laptop for the presentation, otherwise they are in trouble...
