Four months ago I wrote about the CRPG project Esenthel in the old Alt+Games blog. Today I went to check out what has happened in the project since that time. It seems that the team has been very busy during last Autumn and around the holidays: They've released new versions of their demo as well as the game engine, and added a lot of stuff to both. I'm going to check out the newest game demo (as well as try out the included editor) and I hope you do too. In the meanwhile, as a part of the archiving project, here's the old article I wrote on Esenthel on October 2007. You can download them from the game's website .

Esenthel is an ongoing project to create a 3D computer role-playing game in the vein of the Elder Scrolls series (Morrowind, Oblivion). The game is being developed by an independent group of developers and game enthusiasts. While the development is still on-going (and I suspect that the final product won't be released tomorrow) the group has released the newest (at the time of the original article) demo of the game in the beginning of October. The demo consists of a short dungeon crawl and is essentially a concept and technology demostration.
