A slot machine mechanic - By: ameliewang

G4TV has posted a new interview with Runic Games CEO Max Schaefer about the company's upcoming action RPG, Torchlight The game will give players the chance to choose a character and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels. Once inside they will find a variety of monsters, a large selection of loot to find, and quests to complete.

G4: With Mythos and Torchlight, I know they're different games, but it's a similar style. What's so appealing of that Diablo-style of cheap wow goldgame that you want to keep going back to it?Schaefer: It's got a couple of things that we really like about it.

One, it's simultaneously easier than WASD [Editor's Note: A standard control setup for first-person wow game time cardgames, referring to the W, S, A and D keys] and then [you get] free mouse look -- you need a little less coordination, which is important for people like me. It's also¡it lends itself to a little bit more of a visceral game.

You click on a monster and he swings and it's immediate and it just feels more like you're doing things than you're piloting a guy around a universe. It feels like you're actually doing the actions in a weird sort of way. So we really try to run with that. We make everything visceral in the buy wow gold game. Just picking up a potion and putting it back down should sound good and feel good. We really [pushed], throughout the wow accountgame's design, [that] everything should feel satisfying, and when you hit a monster, it should land with a thump and it should be responsive to your mouse click and you should get a lot of feedback from that.

The item game is kind of similar, too; it's a slot machine mechanic. You're getting little bonuses, little jackpots as you go and then medium jackpots every now and then big jackpots every few hours. It's kind of a feedback system and style that we've just latched on to right from the early Diablo days.
