Okay, I think it's about time to resurrect this thread!
I'll even mark the event with a non-default post icon.
I did a quick Google search, and I see that there are tons of game sites that already know of the future game. These sites have a lot of potential for spreading false rumors and disinformation about the upcoming game. Take, for example, this page:
http://www.gamespot.com/deadly-rooms-of-death-the-second-sky/
See? You never know what could end up getting discussed about TSS on their forums. Trust me, you don't want to take the chance of being mislead by all that misinformation. This is the place to get the real lowdown on DROD 5.
Anyway, to get this started, here's the first bit of info I can share. DROD:TSS will feature a new DROD 5.0 engine, which will support a separate "
skin"
when playing each of the previous official DROD titles. When I say skin, I mean it will feature full support for displaying the distinct title screen, title screen music, sell screens, and credits screen for each game. We'll also have all the JtRH music back for the first three room styles. All of the new music featured in the newer styles will be still be present. In other words, it'll be pretty much like having all your previous DROD games in a single install, just with all the goodness that a 5.0 game engine will provide! Naturally, you'll have to own and download the official holds through CaravelNet in order to actually play them here. This will be the definitive game engine to support all DROD game engines.
