I don't know whose artist was responsible to make such awesome backgrounds, but I always loved them!

Also, nowadays, I think the coloring/shading of a drawing(Background or characters) is like 70% of the artwork, since we can have different drawing styles, but the colors and details are the ones who makes them look really beautiful!



I'm really glad I bought this game, I cannot wait for it to be complete! IT WILL BE GREAT! =DDDDD

It's actually 3 different artists :) But yes they all do a good job indeed.

Today the main writer sent me the act2 sidequests edited. I'm only missing one Enok scene edited to do act2, but I might do it anyway (I mean it's not worth delaying it just for 1 scene).

I still need to code a few battles, so I'm not 100% sure I'll manage to do the new build this weekend but shouldn't be much longer.

In act2 you can do all the rescue missions, 1-2 camp talk dialogue for everyone, see some characters CG (nothing hot yet though, sorry), do some optional sidequests, battle the Kraken and explore a desert tomb, and of course fight a vampire captain and any remaining lieutenants from the first full moon :)

So I've started coding act 3, or better reviewing since I had already coded a big part of it. There's a big political storyline in it, and as I already posted before, I like it. Something I want to add also in future games. Here's the Envoy is talking with an ex military man:

...who obviously doesn't know the BASICS!! Of course a Longsword +4 is better and is going to let me win the fight?! what kind of military man he is?! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

OMG!!!!

I loved it! I mean, one thing that adds a lot of flavor and personality to a game is adding political plots and other matters that help us, the players, to immerse ourselves in the game. When I was playing SOTW for example, I was fascinated with Dingirra government and social behavior, when I played PSCD, I loved that I could just put a leash in all aliens races, and the consequences of those things, and to see another interesting political plot around Cursed Lands is like music to my ears.



BRING IT ON! =)
jack1974
Cool, glad I'm not the only one to like such things :)

Today got Enok's path edited so I'm going to script it, then will be only Jasper left, act 3 and epilogues. So not much left :)

Here Enok is describing a very practical way to obtain a rare fish in the dangerous lizardmen area :lol:

I'm on a roll so here are more screenshots from his route:

Tsk tsk!!! You should remember that name: http://aravorn.com/index.php?title=Morax

Did she appear in any game? Or she just part of the Aravorn's universe? Also note that I haven't played Spirited Heart.
jack1974
Yes she appears in Spirited Heart indeed. But it's also referenced in others like Queen Of Thieves and SOTW.

started coding the final battle. Maybe a bit spoilerish as screenshot but not even too much in the end :o :mrgreen:

since some people might have already defeated the vampire lieutenant, in the final fight I added some bonus undead "Giant Undead", which are bigger/badder version of the normal ones, plus some new entry like this "horror zombie" :lol:

And now... waiting for someone asking if you can romance it!!!! I dare you! :twisted:

(lol it looks disgusting)
Franka
Can Valerie romance the Giant Horror Zombie?
jack1974
It could be a bonus ending CG!!! SUPER HOT :lol:

Actually... it's not a bad ideea, in DOS2 you can "bone" :lol: an undead skeleton and honestly I also thought his romance was the best written since he had to choose between your character and his people, anything can be romanceable in the right conditions.
jack1974
A skeleton is much more cute than that ... disgusting zombie though! :twisted:



Anyways I've resumed coding Sir Cedric storyline:

Lady Geraldine scenes instead are about trading/merchants. I love the world building and lore stuff the writer put in it, as usual 8)
