Now, after the ‘Explorations & Beasts’ is released, do you have any plans to show us some teaser art of your new modern/futuristic game project?
Hey there, nice to hear that you’re enjoying the DLC. Right now we are very busy with the release aftermath, so it will take some time until we show new stuff. We’ll try to update you as soon as possible though.
Hello Paul! Really enjoying the DLC right now. Do you have plans to extend the Art book with Beasts & Exploration content maybe along with Kraken Banner pack? Reveal some lore behind the creatures, unique places etc.
I’ll double check on that, would make sense. Allthough I’d prefer concentrating on creating new content to be honest (for BB or another project).
Would you mind to upload a larger version of Stonehenge girl picture? The picture looks very detailed, it’s just very hard to catch all the points on the event window.
Just have to say Paul, browsing through this thread, watching the game and art progress and come alive is a real treat. I don’t think I understood how much art could contribute to the making of the game until I came here. Thanks for the continued efforts, and may you enjoy even a fraction of the joy you’ve given us all.
Thanks man, it’s great to hear that. I’m trying my best :)
Hey Paul, that “zweihander” image from the latest blog post, is it from a new event picture? I don’t remember seeing it in the game.
Maybe I forgot to post it here:
Good luck tomorrow guys. Fingers crossed for you ! :) Well done with everything I hope you have
a nice celebration, you deserve it.Thanks for the support! The biggest fear is always that there are a lot of bugs popping up, even though we tested the DLC thoroughly. But we are pretty confident that everything runs smoothly.
Cheers!
Hey there,
that’s right, the base inventory has been increased by 9. The Ambition to increase it further is not repeatable, but we now have two ambitions like that instead of just one.On top of that here are two event illustrations I made yesterday:
Forest
Dead Lindwurm
Will they work with the paints?
Of course:
Regarding Sallets with visor; I totally agree that they look awesome. The thing why I don’t want to have them in the game is, that they literally scream “Gothic Platemail”. That’s just a line I don’t dare to cross for the sake of the game’s atmosphere and visual coherency.
it would be neat to also have a visor down version of the Heraldic Bascinet.
Yeah that would be cool indeed :) Can’t paint them all ;(
Now that dog armor is an attachment, will you be able to use it on the wolves?
Haha nice question. I didn’t plan for it, but as the graphic is just placed on top of the other it should be possible. I’ll double check that :)
Regarding the helmets we already have a pretty smooth progression because of the different paddings of the metal helmets and the variety of chain mail coifs.
Nevertheless we decided to introduce two more light/mid tier helmets to support medium armor builds. Both of them have good fatigue ratios and are rather expensive. They can only be bought in shops and not be looted. (—disclaimer: these are not yet implemented as this post is written—-)On the left we have the Barbute with 190 armor and -8 fatigue (may be subject to change). Even though the absolut armor value is not too high, the Armor to fatigue ratio is very good.
On the right we have the Sallet with 120 armor and -5 fatigue (may be subject to change). As its big advantage the sallet will have no penalty to vision, hence can be worn by archers who can still shoot at max range.Cheers!
Can you please show us how this legendary location with ancient statue will look on global map?
Hey Yoricksha,
thanks for the compliment.
It will look like this:
Will there be and Helmet attachments via crafting? e.g. fur lining
Hey Trappist,
of course we discussed this. The problem is, that compared to armor, helmets have very distinct shapes. So if I paint an attachment overlay for a full helmet it would probably not fit on a kettle hat.
Painting each attachment for each helmet means a ton of work for me and we can’t deal with that at the moment.Maybe we find a clever solution someday.
Here is the ancient statue artwork from the last blog post in full resolution:
Hey Foz, here are some answers:
– Will every available company banner have the option of painting shields with the company logo?
Yes:
– As for painting helmets, will we just have the old 4 options(black, blue/white, red/yellow and green/white)? Or will we have color options compatible with each available company banner? I ask because several banners have different color combinations.
Unfortunately only the existing options for now. I wanted to add more, but the workload of adding a colored version for all the helmets is pretty high, and it was more important to spend my time elsewhere. I’m trying to get in a mono dark red option to go with the kraken banner, but I can’t tell if I’ll manage to in time.
Also, will there be any new banners aside from the Kraken one available for the supporter edition?
No, for the same reasons as above.
Also, any chances we will get heraldic/colored tabards as armor attachments/customizations?
The reason here is that we don’t want the look of the company to be interchangeable with the noble houses. Something so knightly as heraldic tabards doesn’t exactly fit the mercenary theme.
Of course if we would just have to flip a switch and “allow” tabards for the player we would probably do it. But everything we want to implement comes with a distinct amount of work for us and other features would be left out instead.Sorry for so many negative answers, but as I mention ever so often we have to be very careful about where we invest our limited time. Otherwise it would not have been possible to create such an extensive game with a team of only 3 people.
Cheers!
