It's already out!

I have to imagine that once The Age of Decadence was finished, using the engine and tools to make something like this would be significantly easier.

Much, much easier. Plus we worked part-time on AoD, which is why it took so long. Now we're working full-time, so the next full-scale RPG won't take as long either.

AoD actually has pretty cool combat underneath that awkward-ass UI, so I'm excited for this, too.

It was amazing the moment I realized I could hack my way through much tougher battles than I thought with my squishy assassin by lacerating people's hands to lower their to-hit chance. Doing that, crowd controlling with nets, and falling back to choke points was a pretty good time for a game with a reputation for everything but the fighting parts.

Anyone playing this? Is there any easier/faster way to switch weapon attacks besides clicking through?
