(url="http://"http://games.macnn.com")games.macnn.com(/url) has posted an in-depth preview of our upcoming role playing game construction kit (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/news/upcoming/coldstone_betashots.html")Coldstone(/url). Quote games.macnn.com:

The end result is a graphically robust RPG that's entirely the user's creation. Every element of the game can be easily edited to perfection. With time, patience and several test-runs through the game to pick out any existing bugs, Coldstone is able to create a professional-level product.

Check it out, and (url="http://"http://games.macnn.com/feature.php?id=179")read the whole preview here(/url).

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Heh, we both must have commented on this at the same time; I have deleted my topic for brevity.

FWIW, it is a pretty interesting review, and there are some screenshots I hadn't seen before. Go check it out, leave a comment, and perhaps we can get some new blood in here!

People who claim the sky is falling obviously aren't aware the earth is falling, too.

There are also screenshots of the battle system in use, interpret it how you want. As a beta tester I don't have to imagine....

Friction leads to fire, you could get burned,
How much ink I just injected is none of your concern,
Unless your on terms of understanding the omega,
He controlls the mix so you can inherit the heater.

Right, but which beta are the screenshots that they have from, 1 or 2?

Well, if they had beta 2 before us testers then I would feel slightly second class =). I can't tell which beta they are from. andrew: are those screenshots from PoG?

The review was based on Beta 1 but the screenshots are from PoG, compiled with Beta 2.
