Dragonshard Community Update #1

Atari’s Shane DeFreest has sent us over the first of what will no doubt be many community updates for Dragonshard. Included in this update are two questions answered by Liquid Entertainment and a pair of brand new screenshots…

Q: How are resources attained in Dragonshard?

A: There are really three resources, dragonshards, gold, and experience points. Dragonshards fall to the surface of the world, and can be harvested by any unit as they are encountered. Gold trickles in as a tax on your towns operations, and can be found as treasure by killing monsters, but is really found in the underworld. Some gold containing chests will require a rogue to pick their locks. Experience points are gained by killing monsters and enemy units, and as the result of successfully completing quests.

Q: What are the minimum system requirments that you are aiming for in regards to Dragonshard?

A: We are aiming for a minimum system roughly equivalent to a Pentium III 1.13GHz, 512MB RAM, a 64MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card, a DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card, and appropriate Hard Drive space, CD-Rom drive, etc.
