    Welcome everybody, to one our rare and special exclusives on Runic Games Fansite! In this three part epic, we interview Runic Games' writer, JD Wiker, digging out his background info, his thoughts on Torchlight 1, and the direction of things for Torchlight 2 and the Torchlight MMO.

    JD very graciously let us ask a lot of questions, so to make this digestible we will break it into sections and pages, with each section being released over the next few days. We'll update this intro page when new sections are added, so be sure to check back tomorrow for part 2!

    Another video with Max Schaefer has surfaced, this in GamerSpawn's Youtube channel. There isn't really anything new to the interview, other than a more specific release estimate of April or May of next year, but it is a good recap of the basic information that came out of Gamescom. You can check it out right here:


    Oh, and there seem to be quite a few hardcore Diablo fans leaving rude or negative comments on the youtube page. Why don't leave a few positive comments to balance it out?

    Wonder talks about Torchlight II for Gametrailers.com. The Outlander's unique mechanic may be related with a glaive. Apart from that there is not much new information; however, there is five minutes worth of HD quality off camera gameplay footage.

    I've posted about this before, and it appears I have to post about this again because certain websites keep posting mistakes as news.

    So here goes: Runic Games is not working on any Perfect World MMOs other than Torchlight. No one at Runic is doing Chinese translation for Perfect World. No one has the time or money at Runic to fly back and forth between Seattle and Perfect World's Californian studio to develop another game. If you don't want to take my word for it, how about yet another confirmation from our friendly Runic developers?

    Source
    Travis and Erich are also not working on Battle of the Immortals 2, they have their hands full with Torchlight 2.

    I can't read chinese and google translate really isn't doing much to help me follow those other sites, but I assume the aggregators got two press releases mixed together or something. Anyway, it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that our whole team is focused on Torchlight.

    Let's talk about Torchlight... 3?

    No, that headline isn't a typo. There is actually talk about Torchlight 3 already, when Torchlight 2 was JUST announced less than a month ago. To be honest, Dusho originally talked to Max Schaefer about the possibility of a Torchlight 3 and he joked something along the lines of "maybe if we sell 3 million copied of Torchlight 2."

    That comment never made the cut for our post with Dusho's information (we thought it was a joke!), but now one person on Joystiq is causing waves by mentioning how Max was being serious! Here's a quote:
    Runic Games CEO Max Schaefer respectfully believes that a third Torchlight game could be out before Blizzard's Diablo 3 -- a joke we'd made when the second Torchlight was recently announced. The executive tells us that the efficient size of the Runic team, which has a corporate goal to never grow above 40, would have the ability to get out another significantly upgraded sequel before Blizzard's behemoth arrived. Torchlight and its sequel have both had brisk development cycles lasting less than a year.
