Eden Falls, eh? Whats that supposed to be? A disease?
Eden Falls is a science fiction themed role-playing game, featuring deeply tactical turn-based combat and an exciting story of epic proportions. The game will be published episodically.
Who exactly are you guys anyway?
The game is being developed by Brimstone Interactive, an independent studio based in Helsinki, Finland. Our team currently consists of 5 awesome people with experience from companies such as Supercell, RedLynx, Mountain Sheep and Recoil Games.
Alright. What platforms will the game be coming out?
Our primary target is to release the game on tablets first (iOS, Android, Windows), with a HD version for PC coming out a bit later. Dont hold us to it, though, since weve only been working full time on the project for a few months.
When are you planning to release Eden Falls?
We aim to release the first episode in Fall 2014 for iOS and Android tablets. The PC release schedule has not been decided yet.
What kind of an age rating can I expect? Is it going to be violent?
Eden Falls will deal with some heavy topics and is thus targeted towards a mature, adult audience. Sex, drugs and violence will all play their part through out the story.
Will the game be single-player only? What about multiplayer?
Yes. Eden Falls is designed from the ground up as a single player RPG. We have no plans to include any multiplayer functionality in the first episode at least. Future multiplayer support is possible for the later releases.
And the system requirements are?
Youll be able to play the game on any modern tablet device. Hardware requirements for the PC version have not been estimated yet.
What about peripherals like gamepads?
Due to the nature of the game, this will be something well have to look into in the future. Well most likely have no support for gamepads or other types of controllers for Episode 1.
How much will it cost?
We dont know yet.
Will there be a demo of the game?
A demo version for the PC is a possibility, yes. This is yet again one of those things well just have to see about later on.
Development
What stage of development are you in at the moment?
We are currently in the prototype phase of development. To be more specific, we are working on the core components of the game, such as basic combat and enemy AI, turn-based logic, action points and such. Much of our time has gone into programming our very own level editor and tools, which will be used to make the actual game.
What game engine are you using?
Were using the wonderful Unity game engine, since it gives us cutting edge, industry standard features without compromising flexibility.
Will I be able to mod the game?
Were putting a lot of effort into building a comprehensive toolset for us to use and have planned to release said tools to the players at some later point. Wed rather take the time to make them user friendly first, instead of releasing a set of cryptic pieces of code no one will understand. As usual, well let you know once the situation develops.
Where are the screenshots and gameplay videos?
At the very moment, nowhere. Lets just say that the gameplay stuff we have now is better left unseen. Well be uploading some sweet concept art and such, once the time is right. Watch this space.

Looks kinda.. drab and "meh"? hard to describe, but it doesn't feel interested...
Well it does say "old concept art" and the site hasn't been updated in 150 days so who knows what is going on/what it looks like.

I like the concept, but I detest turn-based RPGs.

I'm sure this will see a console release just like Spartan Assault did
I just hope it's a better quality game than Spartan Assault.

Wait, Lift is working on a mature audience title? That's potentially very interesting. I pegged them as doing Bejeweled clones or something.
Perhaps more interested in seeing what they come up with than any other Microsoft title on deck other than SWERY's thing. Expect good things from this oneart and concept both sound cool.

You should. Instead, you are bitter.
Only turn based combat system i ever really liked was in Grandia 2.

Did MS sell the Shadowrun IP? And can't MS "theoreically" just make this an id@xbox, or whatever it's called, at a later date?

Licensed it out.
Im not sure about the ID@Xbox bit though, I mean they could? But if its an MS property why would they?

I have no idea, but Lift London seems to be involved in some capacity. Apart from developing their own projects, Lift serves as an incubation studio for indies (they worked with Dlala Studios previously), so this may be a result of one such collaboration.

Fuck, that's the name of my screenplay
Since I registered it with the SGA, does that make a difference?

Licensed doesn't mean sold though. Hmm..... And I got mixed up with some other possibility that came up, maybe dx12 or something where apps or whatever could theoretically just be "ported" from W8 to Xb1 or something like that. Maybe they saw the success of Telltale's and Harebrained recent efforts and decided to "try their luck"
wishful thinking, I know...

Its not likes a secret Microsoft have a variety of platforms to support based on the products they make - Xbox consoles, PC/Windows and Windows Phone 8.
Waste of resources because its not some AAA/console production? Who knows maybe the game is actually fun?
For what its worth, Quantum Break was seemingly filed by Microsoft (or at least the trademark given to them) after it was announced so presumably any AAA or otherwise related projects are unlikely to leak via trademarking. It seems they arent as bothered by their mobile/smaller titles leaking as shown by Throne Together.

This is what I'm wondering as well. Maybe Brimstone was originally working on this as a small game and Microsoft acquired it?

I think some people just dont like the way turn based rpgs play. Its a personal preference. Some, I think it is the fact it is Turn Based, on top of (what could be exclusively) Cloud Based, Episodic, and maybe Mobile.
