http://nichegamer.net/2015/01/mars-war-logs-developer-announces-new-rpg-technomancer/

French developer Spiders, makers of Bound By Flame and Mars War Logs, recently announced a brand new RPG in development by the name of Technomancer. Revealed during a press event held by publisher Focus Home Interactive, Technomancer looks to borrow heavily from Mars War Logs and (if I were a betting man) looks to me as if it may be a spin-off of that game as well.

Very little info was shown other than a poster of the game and its title, which is par for the course at these sort of announcement events. Still, for lovers of sci-fi CRPGs this is great news.

So Much Win

edit other sites claim its a sequel to mars war logs

Me Gusta VERY good news indeed.
I didn't mind the combat in Mars,in fact the fighting was pretty fun.

I only hope their games would be a tad longer,there usually there is only a few places to visit before reaching the end. But then again,it's a small studio...can't expect everything. Smile

+1 @ everything has been said in this thread Very Happy Focused
*happily inserts Technomancer among the list of the games to look forward to*

As much as I enjoyed BbF (which one day I'll finish, a nasty virus made me lose my saves back then), the cyberpunk-ish setting a-la Mars always takes the cake, and manages to intrigue me more than standard fantasy. A good news indeed. Razz

IMHO Mars War Logs was totally underrated and overlooked. I was really gripped by it even tho on the surface it looked flawed and unpolished.

Developer Spiders has announced Technomancer, a spin-off from its sci-fi RPG Mars: War Logs. Featuring the same blend of action combat, stealth and magic, the game will tell a complex, branching story that's related but doesn't directly follow on from the previous game.

You'll have to deal with various factions, each of whom can be brought onside to help you out, complete missions for the mysterious order of the Technomancers, and explore a larger, more detailed version of War Logs' Mars.

You play as a rookie technomancer tasked with finding and securing artifacts and technology from lost Earth. Details on the main story were scarce, but a big part of it seems to involve dealing with the revelation that the technomancers' strange magical abilities are powered by mutation - mutants aren't popular on Mars to say the least, and enemy factions who discover your secret will be rubbing their hands in glee.

Quests are now more complex, branching affairs. There are six factions in the game (the junk-collecting, trade focused Americans and the underhanded, sneaky Thieves were mentioned at the event) and depending on how you choose to approach a mission you might earn favour with one at the expense of another.

Combined with new 'charisma' options for talking your way out of tricky situations, and a day/night cycle that puts time limits on certain missions (deserters you fail to capture in time may pop up later on to cause you trouble, for example), Spiders hope to avoid "go here and kill this" repetition. The game will also feature five different companions, who can leave the party if you antagonise them too much.

The skill tree has been broadened, with four distinct paths allowing you to focus on stealth kills, tank combat with a shield, a two-handed staff, and your strange Technomancer powers. You can switch between these combat styles during combat. Various skills can also be leveled up, allowing you to be more convincing out of combat, or heal more damage with medicine and first aid.

Spiders says they want to create a more open, reactive world this time around. Environments are bigger and filled with more detail, and there are lots more enemy types to hunt down.

If they manage to properly implement all that stuff, then it will be glorious. It's pretty much what the (already great) original Mars needed. Spiders don't fuck this up please!

Bound by Flame is larger, with more to do, more gameplay elements, prettier looking and less buggy, but I prefer the setting of Mars War Logs so that is the better "game" for me Smile

I thought it was the other way around, that's why I didn't even try Bound by Flame Sad

Hey, this is the name of the game I planned on making back in college about magic vs technology in a city ruled by magi and the technoists, with our hero being a guy who was able to control both magic and tech.

...

So kinda like Arcanum with a character editor.
