Jeff Vogel announces new game: 'Queen's Wish: The Conqueror'

'Queen's Wish' will be set in an entirely new game world, but fans of Vogel's work will know what to expect; isometric, old-school, party-based roleplaying, with a massive amount of content and decidedly unhurried gameplay. Details of the new game are a bit thin at present, but 'fort building' of some kind is promised and with the Kickstarter necessary to fund new art.
(I should add that I'm not affiliated with this project in any way, but Jeff's a splendid fellow who's been feeding Mac gamers for over a quarter of a century now).
Update: More details on Jeff's blog here ; the Kickstarter is funded, and the first stretch goal (an iPhone port) has been reached.
Update #2: Stretch goal 2 has been reached (more in-game content).

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

Indeed. Although the main drive for the Kickstarter seems to be funding to hire an artist, so I'm guessing this might just be placeholder graphics for now. But who knows?
Vogel's giving us a blog update on the game shortly, so I'll post that when it's up. (Funding is at 85% at the time of writing btw).

This is the thing. They're huge. I played, and enjoyed Exile 1-3 back in the day, over the course of 5 years. I played the first Avernum remake, casually I'll add, but this took the best part of two years. And there's 5 more games in the series. Nethergate was a relatively snappy few months, playing as both Celts and Romans (good fun, that one). I haven't touched Avadon yet. But i'm glad they're out there, waiting.
