If anyone's interested, here's a little insight in Overlord in the form of an Interview with the game's writer and co-story writer, Rhianna Pratchett.

Here's a taste:

Quote

As I mentioned before, the voice recording sessions were great. We have some great outtakes from those, like Gnarl singing the Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancing." The rest are all very rude. It was my first experience at co-audio directing (along with the great Dan and Tim from the Audio Guys), and I ended up giving direction like "Imagine he's got a really large schlong" and "More phlegm!" "You're excited and aroused... no, more aroused... no... not that aroused!" It was really a lot less dodgy than it sounds, honestly, but you can't help but have fun with that!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Dang, this is a total Pikmin ripoff. Get blue minions to go through water, Have you minions carry items for you. Get parts to build up your spaceship I mean tower. Trolls bounce on your guys like the frogs.

It's still a lot of fun though, just like Pikmin was.

As soon as I thought it I instantly thought Dungeon Keeper.  God what a bad ass game.  I still have it, I should load it up and give it a go!  (If Vista will run it... of course.)
