Demigod Video Interview and Video Diary

Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor and Mike Marr have been busy promoting Demigod in the form of a video interview on G4 and a video diary on IGN. Here's what you should expect from the latter:
For this week's installment, lead designer Mike Marr is offering us a closer look at playing a General in Demigod. Generals are distinct from Assassins in that they focus more on summoning and controlling minions rather than fighting solo. Since Generals don't have the same powerful abilities of Assassins, they have to be played a bit differently and Mike discusses how to balance and manage the Generals' additional responsibilities. You may use your minions as scouts to seek out the enemy's weak points, or as a diversionary unit to keep the pressure off of your demigod, or even as a sacrificial screening force when you need to get your demigod out of a losing battle.

You can see and hear all this for yourself as Mike demonstrates his techniques with the dreaded Queen of Thorns, whose Channelers we have come to hate with a passion that cannot be overestimated.
