Fatshark’s post-apocalyptic dungeon crawler, Krater is looking better and better as we draw closer to its June 12 release date. Krater takes place in a future where civilization has grown around a large crater left by a massive bomb. “Free diggers” now venture into the seemingly neverending depths to plunder its riches and secrets. You take on the role of one of these fortune hunters and can form and control a team of up to four characters culled from a range of five different classes…or you can team up with other players cooperatively online.
Concept art from the official site showing the massive titular "Krater"
Although the world that has grown around the giant impact crater is an atypical lush green forest dotted with cottages housing the last vestiges of humanity, the main attraction is the depths of the crater itself. Exploring and plundering what the official site says is an “indefinite number of levels” opens up great possibilities for some addictive RPG gameplay, with a top down style reminiscient of games like Diablo, X-Com and Syndicate. The game is also set to include an extensive crafting system for weapons, items and abilities, a persistent evolution of your team through their injuries and experience and a seemless blending of singleplayer and multiplayer gameplay.
Krater is being developed by Fatshark and we’ll be setting up a community playdate once the game releases for PC on June 14. Stay tuned for more details and for continuing coverage on this ambitious RPG. Also, feel free to check out the game’s official site for more info.
I will visit your blog regularly for some latest news.
While the so-called Elgin marbles remain at the British Museum, despite Greece’s efforts, the famed Euphronios krater was recently returned to Italy. What do you think?What is your position on the question of ownership and repatriation as regards these two cases
Hi guys I recently started listening to techno songs and now I really like them but I do not know any good artists or anything, I just type in hardcore techno on youtube and I try to find something from there.
But it’s not really effective and now I’m gonna ask you guys what are some good techno songs that you like? (hardcore techno preferably)
I really like Infinite Dimensions-Krater
and some Tiesto songs are okay, not that good.
Thanks!
I want some wordless techno, kinda faster beat though. Something like Desire by 4 Strings or Awakening by Rank 1. And for harcore, I want something like Krater by Infinite Dimensions. But if you don’t know any faster beat, I’ll take any kind of techno.
My head hangs in shame. This is an indictment of all those lazy ass men , and stay at home dad? more like ballless feminine man. Truly a shame. again my question is when can we expect those man cards from the like of Todd Krater (read story) who so proudly states that he doesnt work and lives off of what his woman earns. Equality is one thing but behaving like an 18th century housewife and being an embarrassment to mankind is not cool

I really want a dungeon crawler. Something that will make me feel satisfied after grinding for a couple hours to be able to beat a boss. Something along the lines of Diablo.
From what I’ve read… Echoes of Time… Izuna… and Phantasy Star Zero are all great dungeon crawlers.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or maybe just opinions on the games I’ve listed? Please include reasons why you liked or disliked it…
Thanks for any help in advance. :]
My girlfriend wants to find a game to play on my Xbox. She really likes Diablo 2 for the PC. Suggestions? We have tried a few things like a really crappy LOTRs game. She said she doesnt like turn based fighting but I she is not familiar with the controller so it cant be anything too complex.. Something with an easier learning curve would be nice.. Thanks.
I have been trying to find one but I can’t find anything anywhere…
I am writing a research paper about the Terracotta krater http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/130009382
How can I start off the paper in an interesting way?
Thanks*
Formal Analysis:
Geometric krater, from Dipylon cemetery, Athens date back to 750BC from Geometric Period, is of the magnificent creative object which is there for decoration, however more importantly; it gives detail of funeral procession. It is about four feet high and made out of terracotta. It is in the shape of a vase which is a semi oval and its base stand vertical. It has a narrow base which supports the weight of the vase. From base onward, it spreads out and it is hollow from inside to mix water and wine in the Geometric period. There are two handles on the each side. There are series of horizontal bands from top to bottom and some are very thin and some are thick bands surrounding the vase. There are two strong horizontal bands where death narrations can be easily seen because there are depiction of human and horses. Between those narrations there are number of thin bands which goes around the vase that separated both stories form each other. All the way to the top, a band characterizing the meander design linked to early Greek art which is repeated at the middle of the base. Furthermore, first band after the pattern band, it depicts funeral procession. It can be easily seen as a funeral procession because there is a dead who is laid on an open coffin in the middle of the handle. The dead body is placed at the top to separate from other individual to make that person important. It seems that body is being carried away by a carriage by the help of two horses, but it is difficult to count from their bodies because they are stack together. Therefore, there is a lack of realism when it comes to depicting human and animals. In addition, depictions are narrow to geometric shape which reflects the notion of geometric period in ancient Greek. As we looked at the carcass, we also see checker sheet surrounding the body, but raised above the body to disclose the dead to the viewers. There are numbers of figures standing line by line with small space in between them and they are depicted in geometric style such as, triangle torso and long legs and all of them have hand over their head. Close to the handles, there are two circles on each side of the handles and below are mourners in standing position. As artist moved to the second band, artist showed rows of chariots which are ridden by figures who looked like a bitten apple from the middle. Each chariot has two horses and one rider with rope in their hand. Throughout the Geometric period, large forms of vases were used as grave markers often depicted funeral scenes and this was one of the grave markers.
Im looking for a game, not turn based, thats single player, but holds concepts taken from both MMO’s and typical 1P RPG’s. Im specifically looking for a single player game thats basically an neverending dungeon crawler with random loot. I’ve played games like disgaea, diablo, oblivion, persona, wow, and a thousand other rpg’s, and what im really looking for is just a game in which i can basically level my party, head into random dungeons, collect the loot, find some rare stuff, sell the worthless bit, and wash rinse repeat. Is there anything like this on the market? Consoles are not a problem, i have a ps2, ps3, 360, wii, gcn, nds, psp, and a computer that can run nearly anything. age really isnt a problem, although decent graphics are preferred. And i consider sprites good, although i do want something better than diablo 2
The Euphronios Calyx-Krater: Symbol of Beautiful Sacrifice

“… As a blazing and haughty bull in a huddle of shambling cattle, when a lion has come among the herd and destroys him, dies bellowing under the hooked claws of the lion, so now before Patroklos the lord of the shield armored Lykians [Sarpedon] died raging…”
Lattimore, The Iliad, 16.486-491
The Euphronios calyx krater is a thing of great beauty, inspiring passion amongst many for its delicate handiwork and simplistic aesthetics. The Euphronios Krater, which henceforth shall be referred to as the calyx, was made and glazed in 515 BCE by the potter Euxitheos and the painter Euphronios, for the purpose of mixing wine with water at parties (Diebold). It shows the events occurring shortly after the death of Sarpedon, the ancient leader of the Lykians who allied with the Trojans during the Mycenaean era. The gods are carrying him home for a heroic burial. Sarpedon’s portrayal upon the calyx, the portrayal of the gods around him, and the very use of the calyx as an ancient Greek wine serving bowl all serve to prove that the painter Euphronios was trying to tell the viewers of his work that the heroic death, the beautiful death, was something to be celebrated.

Hello,
I’m looking for a good dungeon crawler game. I’m a bit bored with the MMO’s atm.
I was wondering if anyone knew any new PC DC’s that I could try?
I haven’t played many, and the only one I could think of was Diablo 3.
But obviously, that one isn’t out yet.
Thanks in advance!
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?
That’s not a dungeon crawler though ^_^
Any suggestions are wanted, and I mean ACTUAL Dungeon Crawlers. Not silly games like Maplestory.
Just list them.
Thanks
NONE of them are Dungeon Crawlers.
PLEASE, people, answer the questions I ask and not be ignorantly answering the generic “MMORPGs”
Thanks, Earth ◊³ Dee, and I shall check the link out.
To the other person:
Honestly, why answer if you don’t even know what the questions is ABOUT.
My girlfriend loves the game Dark Alliance for the Playstation 2. I am hoping to get her more games and I do not know what games are good dungeon crawlers or similar to Dark Alliance. It has to be on the PS2.
I want to work on a little summer project, and make my own 2d rpg, in a similar style to the original legend of zelda. Does anybody know what kind of coding language(s) i should learn, and other things i need for this? I want to include dialog, looting, shops, and possibly saving progress. It will pretty much be a dungeon-crawler, that works like the original legend of zelda. Thanks.
