*** INTERVIEW: Have a Question for Runic Games? (Torchlight) ***

[thesau31]

Yup, that's right, we're pulling Runic Games in to talk to. We don't have a 100% confirmation on who will be attending, but as of right now it's set up with Max Schaefer (CEO) and Travis Baldree (President & Project Lead). It should be a fantastic time as we discuss the introduction of Runic Games, the development of Torchlight, the retail release, and what we're looking to see out of the MMO down the road. So as always, we're looking for questions that you want answered. So please join us by sending us some via email or voice mail at the standard channels:

congrats guys. Don't have a question right now - but I'll think one up as soon as the eggnog and rum wears off.

[Plankfan]

Congrats on making such an awesome game guys! My question - Do you guys have any plans for further expansions or addons to the main singleplayer game?

Additional question - This may be stretching it a bit far, but, Any plans for a console release?

[MadScientist18]

Awesome guys! I'll definitely try to get in a question before the interview

[mikeohara]

Congrats on releasing Torchlight to retail guys! Is there gonna be a price difference between the retail version and the version currently available on Steam? Also, is Torchlight available on any other digital distribution services (i.e. Impulse/Direct2Drive?)

[Goffey]

Woot! score for a great dev to interview!!

Question:

With Torchlight being what looks like a great success in a time where a great Diablo "Clone" is being craved. Did you ever consider releasing a more "bare bones" MMO version to the public and then add more as you go, as opposed to releasing the complete version around the same time or possibly after the release of Diablo III?
