What makes it an RPG tho

Last time I checked - your mother

 

[Kasparov]

Anyway, to prove that we´re still working on the game, here´s a little peek at our work desks.

Meet: Rene

Forty years ago Rene was an enlisted military man and now he is (grudgingly) enjoying his retirement days. In No Truce you can pretty much straight up walk up to him and play with his balls.

Rauno, the heavy lifting modeler here at ZA/UM Studio (I almost wrote Fortress Occident... this is going to take some time to get used to) had fun in ZBrush and Marvelous Designer:

and I´m almost done texturing the guy and will give those normal maps a more homey-craftsy handpainted feel before we plop him in the game and remove the stand-in Everyman character model for your viewing pleasure some time soon.

Pardon me, but he somehow resembles a typical Red Army man...
On his had he has something that can be perceived as budenovka, and his clothes too rsemble Red Army outfit in 20th... Like here http://zonwar.ru/news/news_185_Budenovka.html
Is it intended?

 

[Prime Junta]

Doesn't look like a budenovka to me. More like a kepi.

[Kasparov]

And the win goes to Prime Junta! It´s a kind of kepi.

 

[Fenix]

I didn't say it IS budenovka, I said that it isn't but overall it resmbles Red Army man look.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Is there gonna be a good cop bad cop routine

 

[Kasparov]

That carabineer uniform was mostly inspired by real-world monarchist armies. I was kidding about the WINNING bit, but I did wish to imply that before I think of a budenovka, I think of a kepi.

Is there gonna be a good cop bad cop routine

Totally. Get your half light on and bring it to the old guy!

 

[Prime Junta]

I didn't say it IS budenovka, I said that it isn't but overall it resmbles Red Army man look.

Hmm disagree with that too. It looks like a pretty cool blend of various styles of somewhat archaic uniforms ca 1860 to 1920. First reaction was that it feels vaguely Austro-Hungarian...

Am I a bad Codexer if I am more excited for this game than TToN?

 

[Infinitron]

Nah, but you might be a bad Codexer if you're excited about anything.

Why did you change the company name? What does ZA/UM mean or signify? Would I find out if I went to your site? Would I find out if I read this thread more carefully?

 

[Prime Junta]

Would I find out if I read this thread more carefully?

yes

 

[Kasparov]

yes, but that can only ever be a good thing

 

[Popiel]

This game being better than T:ToN is guaranteed right now, let's be honest.

 

[Prime Junta]

Yeh this looks more like a genuine spiritual successor to PS:T than T:ToN ever did. It's more of a tribute, this is the real deal.

(Don't fuck it up ZA/UM or I'll have to swim over and give you a piece of my mind.)

Either I need a quest compass or you're a mean trickster.

If you bothered to draw your maps along the way you would not be in this predicament now

Try this one.

This was supposed to be a relaxed story-driven game, not a real CRPG.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Woukd be cool if we can roleplay as batshit insane, bipolar cop is a stand up law abiding officer at day, and a,psychopath at night.
Does this have day night cycle? I hope the build and mechanic allow this kind of style. You said yourself, not all build should be viable, but all builds should be interesting

Thanks.

The name change was a masterful chess move by our newly established marketing team.
