Grinding Gear Games, who are from Titirangi and have spoken a few times at the Auckland Game Developers Meetup, have finally come out of "stealth mode" and announced their action RPG Path of Exile to the world. They flew to San Francisco at the start of the week to have interviews with the creme-de-la-creme of the US gaming press and websites, and are off to the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle this weekend.
Congrats to Chris, Jonathan, Erik and the whole team on getting this far, and getting a good reception. Now you just have to finish and release the game!

- Game Console in New Zealand have posted a great article.
- G4TV did a gameplay walkthrough video.
- IncGamers did a lengthy interview and an exclusive trailer.

Looks fantastic! I wonder who the kiwi girl voice actor is? Sounds strangely familiar.

I hadn't seen that trailer, didn't know they had voice actors either. Looks brilliant.
