looks a bit docile, but then I think that might make sense since it’s sated its hunger.
Exactly. But what did he eat? Hehe.
The two on the right are actually the same guy, just in different states of appetite
They look neat but more like sort of demonic spawn that wild dead eaters. Especially the horns, horns=demons – the fat one remind me of demonic bosses from Final Fantasy Tactics.
Can we have both? Old ones as a kind of wild bloodthirsty monkeys that live in lairs and dens and like eat anything(addition to beasts along direwolves) and the new ones as sort of demonic infestation alongside cultists and crazy wizards/heretics or alone after they eat them.

I do like the original, but I don’t know it the difference is great enough they’d look like separate creatures
Once horns are added they do look more like demons then ghouls
The Ghouls will not only get a rework concerning their stats and visuals, but also lorewise.
And they will get a new name. That said, they won’t be your run off the mill fantasy ghouls anymore.
So I think we can get away with adding the horns :)On top of that the old Ghoul just had one visual. I basically just added more variety. The old one is still amongst them.
In hindsight I actually think it may have been a mistake to use the names “Orcs” and “Goblins” for two of our factions as they invoke extremely strong expectations and are already precisely defined by tons of fantasy reference. So whenever we stray from the path of the “known lore” people get confused or disappointed.
Thats one of the reasons I dont want to call the ghouls “ghouls” anymore.Cheers!
I’ll go so far as to say this is some of your best BB-work up to now.
Thanks man, but there’s more to come. I’m just getting started!
Maybe think about adding something similar to the other “starting size”? This way there would be no confusion about where the horns came from.
You’ve got a point there. I will let Christof implement them in their current form and then see how the transitions work ingame. If the change is too abrupt, I will add some starting size-with-horns-ghouls.
Then what is stopping you (guys) from also changing the names of your Orcs and Goblins, or are you alone on the team in that opinion?
We all think in this direction, but it might not be that easy. I feel that just changing the name might not be enough, as they also look like pretty classic goblins/orcs. But we will see. There’ll be some more internal discussing I guess.
Are the creatures-that-soon-won’t-be-called-ghouls-anymore the “entirely new enemy” that has been teased in today’s dev blog?
(Please say, “No.” ;P)No :)
The new enemy may not be that visually impressive, but he will feature some fun new skills (fun for your enemies at least :))By the way, lots of people asked for “brandnew” versions of the ancient dead equipment. I am thinking about creating a few of those as named helmets and armors. I’ll let you know as soon as theres something to show :)
but new combat tactical maps(cemetery, ruins, fort). At least a sketch or something like that, please – show the least bit of – calm us.
Hey, we started work on these quite a while ago, but there where so many high priority tasks to be tackled, that they are still on hold. Heres some older pics:
