RPGDot have recently interviewed Troika's Tim Cain about their game in development; Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil. Here's an excerpt:

RPGDot: What are the main differences and the main similarities between Greyhawk and your other projects, say Arcanum or Fallout?

Tim Cain: All of my RPG games to date have shared certain characteristics. They have all been isometric, turn-based games. They have all had rich and varying dialogs, nonlinear plotlines, and multiple solutions to quests.

However, besides the obvious difference that Greyhawk uses the D&D 3.5 rules, it also is my first party-based game. You create and control a whole party of characters, instead of making a single hero, which leads to a lot of choices to make during creation time and during play. It is also my first game with multiple starting points, in addition to multiple endings.

RPGDot: Will you do addons or sequels?

Tim Cain: It's up to Atari, but there are several other classic modules that would lend themselves to translation to a computer version. I think Lolth and her little drow minions need to be dealt with, don't you?
