Spellborn on Ten Ton Hammer: GC impressions
TUESDAY, 26TH OF AUGUST 2008 :: POSTED BY BANSHEE :: 52 COMMENTS
Our friends over at Ten Ton Hammer published their impressions from GC and Spellborn booth:
"Overall it appears the Chronicles of Spellborn is looking for innovation more than tradition by providing a robust AI and intricate combat system. Whether it will appeal to the mass market remains to be seen, but you certainly have to give these folks an A for effort. We saw quite a bit at Leipzig this year but this game in particular was one of the biggest surprises and has come a long way since 2007."
You can read the whole preview here, on Ten Ton Hammer.

Spellborn on Kotaku: GC impressions
MONDAY, 25TH OF AUGUST 2008 :: POSTED BY BANSHEE :: 52 COMMENTS
Today Kotaku published their impressions about TCOS from GC in Leipzig:
Combat: This is where Spellborn really sets itself apart. Instead of clicking on an enemy and hitting the attack button, players actively target their enemies using the mouse cursor. If the enemies move, you need to follow. If you want to dodge, move out of the way of their attacks. If you are firing a bow at the caster in the back of an enemy group, make damn sure there aren't any mobs behind him, cause a miss with a ranged attack could very well strike another mob, pulling a whole other group down upon your head.
What Lies Hidden: The tag line for The Chronicles of Spellborn is “What lies hidden must be found...”, and it applies just as readily to the game itself as it does the storyline. Hidden beneath the unique art direction, intriguing characters and flashy spell effects is an MMORPG that doesn't play quite like anything I've seen before.
You can read the whole review here, on Kotaku.

Spellborn wants you!
FRIDAY, 8TH OF AUGUST 2008 :: POSTED BY *MIRAGE*
As announced previously this week, The Chronicles of Spellborn is attending the Games Convention in Germany. Since we’re still looking for skilled people to join our team of developers, what better opportunity is there to drop your portfolio right at our booth?
There will always be a couple of developers around to accept it and take it back to the TCoS HQ so we can have a good look at it and see if you have what it takes to join our ranks.
So go grab your material, burn it on a CD, DVD or print it! Put all of that into a nice folder together with your CV and give the whole package to us at the GC and maybe we will send you an Art test or invite you for an interview.
So, what are we exactly looking for? Well, there is a list of developers we are looking for, but if your dream job is not on that list and you still think you can contribute to TCoS then you are also more then welcome to share your portfolio with us or contact us over at jobs[at]tcos.com (replace [at] by @).
See you in Leipzig!
