One of the leading PC game developers, Gas Powered Games, made an unusual announcement earlier this year when it decided to team up with relatively small publisher Stardock for it's next major game, the strategy-RPG Demigod. The game has already generated a lot of buzz and some gamers are playing in Demigod's beta thanks to Stardock's policy of letting pre-orders play the beta.
With the game now aiming for a February 2009 release, Big Download got a chance to chat with its lead designer, Gas Powered's Mike Marr, to find out more about the game (including its ties to the developer's first game, Dungeon Siege), their plans for its post release life and more.
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
