Another nameless GPG employee! :D Who are you? Another designer or something? Make yourself known! :)

Sounds great :) But we need more of the tidbits! :D
[quote]Emotes are unnecessary newfangled technogunk. Plain text should be good enough for anyone.[/quote] Emotes help convey emotion. Good emotes can be pretty useful since you can't tell what tone of voice someone else intends. They also break up the white-and-black monotony :D
Who is audzilla?
TM still needs to be beveled :P Oh, and you need better emotes. These are meh, to be honest :/
I'm just curious, but who are you guys?
Originally it was just skirmish mode but supposedly they are adding something more interesting. Most of those interviews are older, I think.
The M in "TM" isn't beveled or spiky anywhere :o. Must be fixed!
There will not be a monthly fee unless GPG/Stardock wants the rage of thousands of angry gamers.
Don't worry, I extremely doubt that would give it an M rating. And they probably have some miserable old witch that counteracts the fairy :)
Mid-August is when the beta starts, so almost a month. Where is Scathis going to work now?
Mid-August.
It will supposedly be in mid-August.
:SNIFF!: GL and HF in the future, Scathis.
I mean GPG/Stardock employees. Unless you are one?
Are any of you guys planning on actually playing Demigod online (ranked even :)) when the beta/retail is released? And I mean with recognizable accounts, not smurf ones.
[link="http://www.draginol.com/images/Demigodtentativeschedule_135D5/image.png"]Regains health from structures on the battlefield[/link] I'm thinking either the Unclean Beast or the Rook. Regulus could be cool but he probably won't be as impressive looking since he is smaller.
I feel the same way. I know digital downloads are safe, but it still feels better to have the box and CD :).

There will probably be standard "custom games" where one player hosts and others join, though this is probably unranked. If ranked is anything like supcom, it will use an automatic match-making system, though I don't know if ranked will be in the early beta.
You forgot John "Scathis" Comes, lead designer of Demigod.
1) I doubt there will be an NDA, but who knows. 2) I think Generals can control their units while normal creeps are automatic. 3) Assassins get items. 4) Not sure.
We are working on some stuff at Gamereplays but there isn't really a central place for information. Hopefully we can set something up :)
You guys did a great job :)
As far as I know, anyone who preorders now will be in the beta.
