Hey guys, found this little (admittedly ended)

Looks like some guys have got together to make an 'indy' DKIII (obviously avoiding all the copyright stuff). What's more is they have the support of Peter Molyneux and the original advisor voice actor Richard Ridings. Looking at the clips they seem to have captured the essence of the original games incredibly well.
Wish I'd known about it 2 months ago, but they hit their funding goal (and then some). Well stoked to see what becomes of this game, as I loved the originals and the disbanding of Bullfrog (along with others) by EA was
IMO one of the worst things to happen to
pc gaming.
