Torchlight
Posted on October 22, 2009

As Torchlight’s launch draws closer, we know many of you are chomping at the bit to not only play, but begin the modding with the Level Editor (note, we can’t call it the PrEditor: that’s apparently been copyrighted. The nerve! We’re hashing out official names now.)

We’re not bundling the tools with the game – the download would be laborious, especially for the folks who just want the game. So how do you get these wonderful toys? The tools will be available here on our site by the end of next week as a free, separate download. Once it’s on our site for free download, it will become available several other places, including www.runicgamesfansite.com, which is also hosting a Mod database. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll know – we’ll post the news here, on Twitter, and in the forums.

Thanks everyone – just a few more days! We can’t wait!

“We are pleased that our partners Perfect World, Steam and GamersGate are all able to offer pre-orders of Torchlight so that you can be assured of getting Torchlight as soon as humanly possible,” said CEO Max Schaefer as we asked him about the announcement while he was seated on his solid, hand-crafted Ember throne.
