I've known about PoG for a while, but I don't really know much about it (I know that it was developed with the Coldstone engine, that's about it), and I'm kind of curious, what is the world like? Is it like Cythera, as in, it takes place in that kind of universe (magical, with ruffians, peasants, mythical creatures, et cetera)? It seems pretty cool, so far, but I'd like to know more about it.

From the PoG pre-release page (MacNN seems to have taken thier PoG preview down):
Quote
Don your weather-worn adventuring boots, and gather up your courage as you journey into the kingdom of Garendall, where Gidolan Keep lays under seige. Huge monsters, all tooth, claw, and muscle are assaulting the capitol city, threatening to crush the very heart of the kingdom in their malignant grasp.
As the dark beasts scale the castle ramparts, their heads towering over even the tallest buildings in Garendall, the sound of steel being drawn against improbable odds and valiant battle cries fill the night air. As the brave Royal Guard attempts to fend off the invaders, or grimly to just delay them with the sacrifice of their lives, Queen Adriana beseeches you:
"My valiant friend, it is a time of crisis, and we have to do something! Our city seems to be lost, and our people doomed. We need all the help possible to resist this wave of destruction that has crashed against our city -- ride with all haste to Fantrima and Berglum to warn the people and rally our troops. Ride now!"
Your heart, moved by the queen's stoic resolve, causes you to blurt out "On my honor and your glory, I accept!" And with that, your life is forever changed...
So, yeah, it kinda seems like that. Only prettier.

Cool. I liked Cythera, so it sounds like I'll like PoG even more.

PoG is a step above and beyond Cythera in many ways, which I will not get into for the sake of space. (And andrew not wanting me to divulge TOO much.) But seriously, if you like Cythera, Pillars of Garendall will be a treat for you!

Indeed it will.

Oh! good to know that you agree with me, Glue...
/me grumbles something about spoiled beta-testers.
Heh. /me smirks.

Argh. I cannot wait for PoG and EVN to come out!
uhh... look for PoG a little sooner. no, make that a lot sooner.

I wouldn't say THAT soon, since b3 hasn't been released to testers yet, but let's definitly say within the next 3 months, ok?

I just meant in relation to EVN, which is still winding its way down the lazy stream that is alpha.
It'll be out before EVN, do not worry. The release schedules will not conflict.
