Many anti-virus programs, especially ones that have their detection settings especially high, can improperly detect certain unknown programs as viruses. These are also known as false positives. We have scanned the installers many times and can assure you that this is what your anti-virus program is doing. You can safely tell it to ignore the virus detection and/or add an exception for Torchlight.
Torchlight is designed as a single player experience. We anticipate online sharing of player-generated mods made with the tools, but the gameplay is single player. However, we are already in development of an action RPG MMO set in the world of Torchlight for future release.
The PC version will require Windows 2000 or later, x86-compatible 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 400MB Hard Drive space, DirectX-compatible 3D graphics with at least 64MB of addressable memory (such as an ATI Radeon 7200, NVIDIA GeForce 2, or Intel GMA 950).
We are currently working on a version of Torchlight for Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6+). However, the editor will likely not make the transition to Mac OS. We have not made any decisions regarding versions on any other platforms as of this time.
Users will be able to separately download our editor. This is the primary tool which we used to create Torchlight ourselves, and exposes a huge amount of the game to user customization. Players will be able to create their own fixed and random levels, items, skills, classes, monsters, quests, adjust balance, and so forth.
We are hoping to release a boxed version early next year. There is no collector's version currently planned.
Because Torchlight will be available as a digital download, you should be able to purchase the game easily from any location. The game will initially only be available in English, however we hope to be able to make the game available in other languages in the future, depending on demand.
