    Greeting Dungeoncrawlers!

    As promised, its Dragonshard Friday and time for our weekly Community Update. This week we've spoken to Dragonshard Produer John Hight to try and get the goods on Dragonshard. In addition to our new screens and Q&A we'd like to remind you about our chat going on this Thursday at Dragonshard.net and our presell Beta Test that you can get into by stopping by EB or Gamestop and preordering the game. So without further delay here is this weeks Q&A:

    The DM: Do the avatars/characters in each layer interact with each other in anyway? For example, is lower level strictly for resources gathering while all the fighting goes on in the top layer?

    John: The units you train from your town's buildings are those that you enter and explore the underworld with. They are also those that can rally soldiers to form squads above ground, which are the basis for your army. Thus, you'll be moving troops between the levels.

    The DM: In your opinion do you think Dragonshard is more of an offensive or defensive game?

    John: I think we have a reasonable balance. Town structures, and the walls that surround them, are designed to prevent an early rush attack. However, powerful units possess the ability to take down these walls, so when you assemble the right offense, and punch through your opponent's army, you'll achieve victory.

    There are also two new screenshots you can check out:

    » Shard Golem Battle
    » Lizards vs. Minotaurs
