Ralf, if this was answeared already, then just ignore me, but:
Will there be DRM protection in Risen that will require online activation and limited number of install like some newer games?

I want to ask questions too! But the only ones I can think of is:
When will the game be released?
When will we see gameplay videos?
When will we see some in-game screenshots?
When will we see more artwork?
What will be the system requirements?
What will we get in the Collector's Edition version?
And so on.. I feel like a total jerk.

Relaxing pills...to sit down and wait with patience the next sequel with ought asking the same questions all over again
Ralf dont show us a thing...Personally i want to see the first ingame screenshot and whats the game about once i will press "new game" from the games menu...
But you cant advertise the game with a few artworks and wallpapers...
Showing the graphics ONLY (vegetation, NPCs, weapons and buildings) and perhaps some fighting animation between 2 random NPCs, avoiding completely the story spoilers, would do the trick in my opinion.... This would help advertising the game but simultaneously maintain the mystery...to keep our eyes peeled

intel core i7 CAN handle all these polys pretty easily
if so, the character development then would be rather "fixed".
such settings were often used in previous RPGs, but i didn't and i don't quite like them.
the original gothic setting is much better in my eyes.

Ralf, do you still remember the ageia's cloth simulation?
last time you said that "Naa- would be nice though , but cloth simulation is still a real performance killer."
now intel core i7 has been released, can we expect that, for your next project, cloth simulation will have a chance to be used?
and for the weapon designs shown in the calendar, they're quite different from those in gothic games and look nice.
i wonder whether there are other designs or there is just one "style" on the island?Geändert von iab (03.12.2008 um 03:41 Uhr)

@Michael R.
1. Are you the bridge between PB and DS?(I don't get it from the German profile)
2. If so, what is the strategy/target of Risen, will it focus on European market or it goes for the whole world wide sale.
3. Who got the rights for Risen trademark and if it can slip again from your hands (PB), if something similar happens with DS like it did with Jewood.
4. Are there any thoughts about a sequel or it is not decided yet?
@Ralf M.
1. Will there be explosions in the game, due to other sources than magic?
2. Will there be water falls?
3. Will we be able to get the character naked and take a walk like that in the middle of the town? Will there be consequences?
4. How is the body of the main char? Is it muscular, thin, or is he able to change it?
5. Can we work with some skills to improve them or are we restricted only to use LP to get them known?
6. Due to shipwreck, is he almost naked/having ripped clothes or is he nicely dressed-up with a tie and a suit case?Lo there do I see my father,
Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers,
Lo there do I see the line of my people - back to the beginning,
Lo they do call to me,
They bid me take my place among them

Michael is what you could call CEO of PB. He takes care of the administrative and financial stuff. Makes sure the bills are payed, the people get their salaries and so on. I think he also mentioned once that he takes care of the servers at PB, too. He's the one that makes sure the others can focus on developing a game. At least, that's how I understand it.
Communication between DS and PB will probably not occur via a designated spokesman at PB. I think it would be inefficient to relay information that way if it's not really necessary (ever played "chinese whispers"? ). What I can tell from posts of Ralf and others is that parts of team (or even the whole team) meet with representatives from DS from time to time. What happens at those meetings in detail, they won't tell. But appearently, they make decisions there.

Well i think in 1 month from now, PB will start to show first screenshots and might start serious advertising. Atleast from what i get, Risen should be far enough for that by then.
-
Yes- because we love those x-mas-calendars...
Should be out these days. We gave our choices to DeepSilver who will do the announcements.
The Collectors-Box contest is an initiative by the Fanart-Portal. We support them- but the box is no official DS Contest for the real thing.
Great fun though!
Actually I think you have quite a good bunch of ideas behind it. If you allow- I´ll forward it to our game designers.
1) Some- yes. And a shitload of new fight-animation.
2) There will be more bigger settlemenst.
3) Can´t write about it yet. Still in the works...
No concrete paln for the protection-system has come to our attention. This is something DS will let us know, once they have decided on one...

1) Some- yes. And a shitload of new fight-animation.
1.Will the hero be total stranger to the island and people living on it?
2.Is armour design based on real medieval armour or rather fantasy type (like in Oblivion)?
3.How does it feel to be the best RPG-creating studio out there?:P

Ralf, you said something about a lot of new animations. Are they pre-defined, or are you guys using some software to generate them on the fly (SW: The Force Unleashed and GTA 4 used such an engine - Euphoria)
Look at me still talking
when there’s science to do
When I look out there
It makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are

Alright, its time for the Emperors Q&A Round !
Seeing how the english section has a lot of questions to be answered,
I will help the Piranhas out a bit by contributing to the topics that have
been already explained/discussed on the german section of the forum.
Keep in mind that I'm not a staff member of PB,
and that nothing I say can be taken as a direct quote from Piranha Bytes themself.
Do under no circumstances trust a person who has a laughing dog as his avatar.
Lets get started.
As far as I know all of the animations are predefined.
If you check the gallery you will find pictures of a motion capturing session,
in which realistic looking animations for Risen were made.
@Michael R.
1. Are you the bridge between PB and DS?(I don't get it from the German profile)
So yes, this guy is the link between PB and DS.
And the good thing is that he is very active on the forums and communicates well
with the rest of the community. Oh..and he has a good taste in games !
2. If so, what is the strategy/target of Risen, will it focus on European market or it goes for the whole world wide sale.
This time the main focus is on delivering a good gameplay experience.
Regarding sales, the game will be sold world wide - but how exactly that will
play out is decided by the Publisher Deep Silver.
3. Who got the rights for Risen trademark and if it can slip again from your hands (PB), if something similar happens with DS like it did with Jewood.
I doubt that the PBs make the same mistake twice,
so I'm VERY sure they took precautions this time by
securing the trademark for themself.
However, Michael Rüve can probably answer that question better than me.
4. Are there any thoughts about a sequel or it is not decided yet?
He was asked if there are plans for an addon or sequel,
to which he replied "..if there is the demand for it, why not ? "
Will there be DRM protection in Risen that will require online activation and limited number of install like some newer games?
Piranha Bytes has nothing to do with DRM measures.
And whats the collectors box contest by the way?
However, the winning entry will NOT become the actual collectors box.
Its just a challenge that the Fanart Portal thought of.
Prizes are two huuuuge and high quality posters of Risen signed by the PBs,
and some signed PB profile cards.
Sorry ralf so we have 2 calendar of the advent with different artworks???
The other calendar is made by very talented and creative fans of the Fanart Portal,
who drew up PB profiles and other nice pieces of artwork.
Its definately worth checking out both though !
There we go.
I hope I could answer at least some of your questions.
If you want me to I can drop by here more often and help out with the Q&A.

I got some questions :
- Will you guys take the lazy side and make it impossible to talk to some people ?
-Will there be powerful and rare huge monsters in the game like the trolls for gothic, I love big bad monsters that everyone fears I don't know why ?
-Will there be a lot of quests for each chapter (meaning every chapter new quests appear) ?
-Is the game fun ?LOL

Ralf, in the teaser trailer we seen that many characters fallen into deadly traps. But what about natural traps like quicksand, or unstable floor?

What are the chances of getting some of the english voice actors in the gothic series? The guy that did the voice of Zardas and the dragons (G1 and G2) was incredible, it makes a huge difference when you have beleivable actors - play the gothic 3 expansion and you realize the bond you had with so many people just shatters upon hearing an out of character voice.
If getting the voice actors back is not an option what sort of process do you go through in order to fill this position?. Do you plan what you want certain characters to sound like before hiring?
