Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb games has posted an early preview of some planned features for the upcoming Geneforge 4. The latest in the adventure role playing game series, G4 will put players in the role of a rebel fighting against the Shapers. Some planned features include new spells, new creations, bigger battles, and the introduction of weather effects.

I want the game to have many more scripted events and big battles. It's a war, and I want you to be mixed up in it.

I've never been entirely happy with how mines and traps work, so I'm tinkering with that. I want to find a way for Tool Use heavy zones to be a more fun experience.

I want to rework stealth so it's clearer what's going on and when a creature can see you.

I want to implement weather. It won't affect play so much, but it'll be pretty.
