The Spiderweb Software Interview on GameBanshee and The Awesome of Jeff Vogel on Mac Gamer each interview the Spiderweb Software boss. Jeff explains how extremely exciting and liberating it is to be bringing the Avernum series to a conclusion, and here's a bit from Mac Gamer on Spiderweb's future plans:

Right now, we are working on an all-new RPG series. We've heavily revamped our basic engine. We're making a new game system, new world, new storyline, new graphics. It will play very differently from our previous games, but it will still have much of that old Spiderweb flavor.

The fundamental sort of game will be the same. A RPG, a class-based system, turn-based combat. And it'll be low-budget and retro like everything else we've ever done. But we're going the extra mile to make it the most attractive game Spiderweb has ever made.
