The Witcher

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Thanks for that Final. *Reads* Hmm, sounds good. There's one thing that puzzles me though;

Perfect quality of Internet connections in network games
We've spent months on polishing up the technology of network game. The results of our work are techniques of smoothing network player’s picture and developing algorithms of predicting his situation in case of latency in data transfer from server.
This is stated in the article, however on the homepage it says;

Will there be a multiplayer option?
No. The Witcher is purely a single player experience.
Interesting, eh? Mayhap the eft hand does not know what the right-hand is doing .

While the game uses the Aurora engine, The Witcher doesn't look at all like This from another site. At least I found out the release time frame, 2005.

The Witcher is trying something different in the action-RPG genre for its combat. While it occurs in real time you can pause the action to set up both offensive and defensive combos against your enemies. You also earn more experience if you accomplish these combo effectively. The combos are all mouse driven so there is no need to use keyboard short cuts to accomplish them.


Neverwinter Nights. The game is a full third person action-RPG rather than a top down RPG with some excellent looking level design, character models, lighting, water and shadow effects and more that rivals those of the top PC games, RPG or otherwise. The CDProjekt development team told us that the Aurora engine is easy to use and even with the advanced graphics features it would be difficult to make the game without BioWare's engine as its basis.

The Witcher has been in development for about eight months now and is scheduled to be released sometime in 2005. At the moment the single player only game doesn't have a publisher but based on what we saw of the game we don't think CDProjekt will have a problem finding one. We look forward to learning more about the game soon.

Well, I was wondering about a release date, and this site listed it, that's all. If it plays out, I will give it a try. Found Phantasy Star that way and loved the Genisis version a lot.

Edit - The part below the smile is from the article, not my posting.
