Haha no, it's just that I reused this background in SOTW DLC :mrgreen:

but yours is an interesting theory nonetheless!

:D Cutest character in any WW game to date (sorry Althea)

Really-really-really- starting to look forward to this. *Feeling spoiled*

Amber rulez, but even Lynn is totally super cute. Just wait when you'll see her in her dancing outfit-oops, I'm saying too much! :wink:

And here's one of the various crafting materials being made right now (over 150!):

"Everburn's solidified lava lump"

Probably I won't use them all in Amber, but once the crafting system is in place I can reuse it in all future fantasy games

Why, Jack, why? Why must you speak to us of such things w/o giving even the slightest HINT of a sprite??? :cry:

Intriguing! Is that something that would be used for Dark Paths in the game? :twisted:

jack1974 Jul 09, 2016

The sprites will come in due time! I don't want to do the characters introductions too early, if maybe the game is released early next year

That ingredient surely looks evil, but I haven't decided yet the various recipes/formulas yet. I'll try to put a good variety of things though!

I think that (probably) an elf girl in a first image jack releases in this thread (one in the far left side with blue hair) is also extremely cute, and I am just hoping that she turns up to be one of two romance options that Jack isn't reviling yet.

jack1974 Jul 10, 2016

Yes that's Lynn

Artist finished all the ore/metal items:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnUqWb3WcAAvWk6.jpg" style="max-width:100%">

there are 10 in total, which is a good starting point for the various item recipes (weapons, jewelry, etc)

I even added death knight fossilized bones as item! :lol:

Death Knight Bones!!! :twisted:

This is really becoming interesting now!

...Curious, though: could they potentially be used for Good?

Say, if they were to come from Sauzer in his Death Knight form, or any others (if there were any others) who were on the right side?

Could be an interesting thing to see.

Yes death knights aren't necessarily "evil"

Not to mention a great source of calcium...

Heh, and now I really need to push hard for ectoplasm to be an element. For one thing, it makes a great lube

jack1974 Jul 15, 2016

Haha yeah there are many possibilities

Troyen Jul 15, 2016

Those are cool icons, though the styling (and background effects) reminds me more of a sci-fi game than a fantasy one. Maybe it won't be as noticeable when the icons are shrunken down in-game.

jack1974 Jul 16, 2016

I think it's because they're all ore/minerals etc, there should be some more common or fantasy items next (wood types, food ingredients, etc).

The color coding is nice ... but you chose the three colors that give colorblind people fits ... Just a suggestion, but make one color dark, leave one as is and make another lighter, like almost white. This allows even the colorblind to differentiate by shade if not color.

That said, if the would be tough to do, then just leave as is since there are text and the dots on the slider bars.

Yeah, it does! :shock:

Reminds me o' N'awlins (as the natives call New Orleans) w/ both the colors and the background; a Voodoo shop-like thing.

Seeing all this, I gotta ask (and I apologize for my impatience... :oops:

) when's this gonna be out for mobile devices???

Yes I thought about that, however in this case it's not like the colors have any special meaning, are just for aesthetical reasons. The bars have a text label over them, so you know what they're for

Haha the answer is still the same: a few months after the game is out on desktop, so all the bugs are done and I can do the (slow and annoying) porting/publishing to mobile less times as possible

I noticed a lighthouse at the top and remember there was a lighthouse in Shacklesplit in SOTW...does this mean we might possibly see some crossover-type things, or cameos?
