Goodbye Torchlight Community

Why hello there! What's that? You don't know how you got here? That's pretty common, actually.

Me? Well, truth be told, I started this place! One fine August day I had fifty dollars burning a hole in my wallet and too much spare time. Oh, those were the days! I was two months out from getting married, had one of those rare jobs where I had more free time than I knew what to do with, and a passion.

Back then there was this company called Flagship Studios. They had a branch up in Seattle that was working on something special when a horrible change in management resulted in the entire company going defunct. The crew of that branch office decided to set out on their own to found a nice little company called Runic Games, and I decided to start the very first fansite to support them.

Life was great for years! I made some amazing friends, got a few free copies of some awesome games, started a new job, had some children, and kept on trying to improve myself - learning to program, run a server, and more.

Eventually things started to get rough. We had to do fundraisers to keep the bills paid, I grew busier at home with the increased demands of parenthood, and I sincerely considered shutting down the entire site.

Then like a crest of a new sunrise, salvation came for the site, in the form of ModDrop. I sold the site to Olympus Games, we integrated the mods into ModDrop, which is still an amazing mod manager, and I was still able to get paid to run the site and the ModDrop community. And then things were great for a few more years. Torchlight Frontiers happened, later becoming Torchlight 3, and I was able to join just a small piece of that new community as well.

But all good things must come to an end. I am now a parent of three children, and in an attempt to change careers, I'm about to take on a massive new translation project on top of my current day job. And so, I decided to cut out the extra little distractions in my life.

It doesn't help that just recently Perfect World decided to sell off Echtra Games to Zynga, cutting the team off completely from Torchlight 3 and kinda-sorta ending the community... just as Perfect World did when they shut down Runic Games right after releasing Hob. I've basically lived through that scenario three times now, and I think that's enough. The Torchlight 3 tools - The Fort Planner and Skill Calculator - have been shut down and removed due to lack of support from Perfect World moving forward, so there isn't much of a future there either.

As for this site, it's still here for now. The mods will always be preserved on ModDrop so they will not be lost, and all authors of those mods will still have access to them. Let's be honest, the mods are why almost everyone comes here, and they will be safe. I can leave that behind with a clear conscience.

Personally, well I still have my own projects I work on when I have a few spare minutes. I work on mobile games in my spare time, I'm writing a LitRPG book, and even have a VR game being prototyped, and I hope to show those off some day soon.

Sign up for an Early Preview from Monster Squad!

We're going old school today folks! The fine people at Monster Squad, which is primarily made up of former Torchlight/Runic Games developers and former Borderlands developers have a sign up available for testing the VERY early iterations of their new game!

The game doesn't have a name yet, but it promises to be a third person shooter with various ARPG aspects thrown in. If you follow their Discord or social media you'll have seen some awesome concept art, screenshots, and even a cool demonstration of how the devs have taken everything they've learned about randomization in games to do design truly unique experiences!

You can sign up by follow this link!

I won't spoil anything about the game, but from what I've played so far it looks like something to keep an eye on!...Read More
