Small update and some precisations now that I dispelled some doubts that didn’t make sense.<\/p>\n
See my previous guesses<\/a>. <\/p>\n Fact #1 – Dungeon Runners is being developed in Austin and not in Cali. As someone remarked in the comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fact #2 – Remember Blizzard’s devs leaving to join NCSoft<\/a>? Well, these guys ARE NOT working on Dungeon Runners.<\/p>\n Fact #3 – Dungeon Runners was being developed by another company (Realm Interactive) with another title (“Exarch”, which also came from “Trade Wars: Dark Millennium”). For various reasons it passed to NCSoft who is reworking it substantially (I guess the release isn’t so soon as I thought).<\/p>\n Fact #4 – The Blizzard’s guys have really their own studio in Orange Country (known as “NCOC”), but working on something that is still unannounced.<\/p>\n It seems that Dungeon Runners went through many reiterations. See this three years old interview<\/a> with the lead designer and notice how those screenshots resemble to those from Dungeon Runners. It looks like Joe Madureira followed the project all along as someone smartly noticed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
