Let’s just pretend you posted that yesterday. ;P
Your taunt was successful, here’s something I did this week: reworking our Logo a little.
For more info on the “artwork” you’ll have to wait for the blog post tomorrow :)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:
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!
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 :)
I love the bigger maps, but sometimes have explored every corner and even know where the same re-spawns of goblin hideouts will be… I would love the opportunity to get on a boat in port and go to a whole new, newly generated continent to start over with my experienced mercenary band.
Hey there,
The more the better, I think we all agree on that. Nevertheless I would rather focus on filling the first continent with meaningful content before thinking about expanding the size of the game further.
Just adding another continent would also throw up a ton of game design questions and balancing issues.I could answer with a lengthy post, but I am actually busy painting new stuff for Battle Brothers, so lets keep this thread Art related only :)
As a little band-aid heres a work in progress preview of the new Ghouls. They used to be the laughing stock, but that will change soon.
Hey there, no worries, I’m working as hard as always :)
one of the helmets be damaged above an eye slit in such a way, that the lidless eye underneath, staring out of the hole, would be visible?
Thats a cool idea, but as all fallen heroe equipment is usable by the player I think it would look a little strange on a regular human.
I am working on the “ancient dead” as we now call them. They’re almost finished but I dont want to show you everything yet.
The next two weeks there will be no posts as I am taking my long awaited vacation.To not let you starve too much, here’s some pics of the ancient dead.
Here are the armors:
This is how it might look on a battle bro:
Here’s the ancient dead’s weaponry:
There are two more units I dont want to spoil yet though :)
Cheers guys!
What about the Lost Souls? Are they in the zombie faction or the skeletons?
They will belong to the zombie faction to give them some more variety.
And you want to armor and shields, too, used the banner of mercenaries. This will be the game? To make it clear, I drew a picture.
Hey Maximus,
thanks for the picture, I know what you mean. I would really like something like that as well, but unfortunately its not that easy.
Each Armor or shield uses a variety of different assets. A 70×70 pixel and a 70×140 pixel image for the inventory, a normal version for the tactical combat bust, a damaged version for the tatical combat bust and a dead version for the tactical combat bust. All of these have to be created by hand. It’s not possible to just change the “texture”.
