			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_%28content_delivery%29">Steam</a> friends have probably noticed I recently purchased <a href="http://www.torchlightgame.com/">Torchlight</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>For $5 I thought I would&#8217;ve finished it by now but it just keeps going and going. I originally wanted to complete it just so I could do a blog post saying I&#8217;d &#8220;finished WoW, but not really&#8221;.</p>
<p>It does seem really well made from a player&#8217;s point of view though. It&#8217;s Diablo with all the niggly, annoying things fixed, and a handful of extra features for good measure. It gets old kinda quickly, but I&#8217;ve kept playing thinking I must be <em>just about to finish it</em> for the past 10 odd hours of gameplay. Now I&#8217;m not so sure.</p>
<p>Anyway, the art is really nice and I&#8217;m taking mental notes. I love their multi-tiered environments and their characters and monsters translate really well at the smallish scale.</p>
<p>Their monsters are all simple, blocky shapes, with massive hands and feet, and tiny limbs. Very stylised, but they looks great in 3D and are easily identified.</p>
<p>I thought I&#8217;d do a robot of my own. It&#8217;s still pretty realistically proportioned &#8211; I did it before looking at the Torchlight concept art, but I&#8217;ll take another stab at Torchlight-influenced proportions tomorrow and get closer to the mark.</p>
