"The South African-based game developer Runestorm has today formally announced the team’s first full-featured game in the form of “Rook’s Keep,” a title using the power of Unreal Engine 3 and built using the Unreal Development Kit (UDK).
Rook’s Keep is based on the strategic game of chess (you know, with the chequered board), but this time the pieces come to life in a “gothic, fantasy themed setting,” battling each other for glory in bursts of blood while using brutal weapons to fight their way up the board!"

Rooks Keep is an interesting mishmash of things that come together in what appears to be a promising title in its Early Access stages. The game itself is themed around medieval fantasy and chess, but it brings a great deal more to the table. There are some rough edges here that still need polishing, but if the team at RuneStorm can stay the course and take some early feedback to heart, Rooks Keep could prove to be a pleasant surprise when it finally releases.
IGM previews a game where the objective is to clean up after the heroes have left the building. Disgustingly hilarious, Viscera is well worth it.
SA developer Runestorm talks Steam Greenlight hurdles and focus on what works
sounds like that harry potter movie, where the pieces come to life. Glad to see some South African games come out hope it is successful.
hope its good be nice to have more dev from different regions
It's probably the white South Africans... not trying to be racist, just real. It's gonna come out like everything we've seen already so don't get your hopes up. Games are already made by Europeans, South Africa has Europeans, and judging by the theme of the game, Europeans made this one... meaning nothing new. Might be executed good though life is random and biased...
@anonymous Even though you say you "don't want to be racist" you imply that black people are incapable of helping with the development and creation of games in our country? Shame on you! The people of our Nation are much more capable than you might think, or assume! And by the way, most of us "Europeans" are generally refered to as "South Africans".
