I just thought I would say.

Also, maybe someone has already answered this, but why "tilted mill?"

I've wondered how companies come up with names. Just random? Does it have a signifigance? Just sounded cool?

The name is explained in the Tilted Mill FAQ's http://www.tiltedmill.com/articles.htm#Frequently%20Asked%20Questions

Is that a Don Quixote reference?

Yes, it sure is. For those of you who don’t know the story, Don Quixote is this (sort of crazy, but noble) knight who mistakes windmills for giants… and charges at them with his lance (known as “tilting”). So “tilting at windmills” has come to refer to the act of engaging in a futile endeavor… one that can never succeed. We believe anything is possible, and some things only seem futile to those who lack vision. To us “quixotic” means “idealistic”, not “unrealistic.” Simply put, we’ve knocked down more than a few windmills over the years, and we expect to see many more falling over as we move forward!

We also appreciate Don Quixote’s spirit. When you spend all your time making games, you can’t take yourself too seriously. Laughing at yourself is the only way to maintain your sanity. We make our fair share of mistakes, though we try hard to avoid them. But, at least we give it our heart and soul and when we are right, the experience is better for everyone.

And yes the screenshots are beautiful :)

Ah, yes, Don Quixote. It occured to me after I posted, but oh well.

The ones posted over at GameSpot add at least several levels of eagerness to my wanting this game :cool:

The 6 new ones here on the site are awesome too! I really like the one with the priest!

And while I got the impression we had only seen one city so far, this seems to be a new, smaller one in the screenshots!
