Your point is valid, but it's one of the choices a game developer could be facing. Should we let common knowledge, no matter how incorrect, affect our design or should we do whatever the fuck we want and let [the smart] people sort it out? Considering that this is the Codex, we'll stick with latter.Naked Ninja said:Fair enough. But everyone playing the game is viewing it from todays modern (distorted) viewpoint, and that's just the mental impression it creates for me. Gothic. It doesn't seem to fit. Just my opinion, and not really a deal breaker.
That's what they are for. Again, references to electricity could be found in ancient Sumer (Baghdad battery), ancient Egypt (Dendera light), and ancient Rome (can't find links but there are accounts of an early king who matched natural lightning with artificial lightning).Also fair enough. But, and again it's just my person opinion, I'd still prefer beams of light bouncing through lenses or something. Wires and plugs just say conducting electricity to me.
We aren't using it because everyone else does (although I can think of only few recent (last 10 years) games that featured pentagrams), we are using it because it fits the setting.Koby said:Vault Dweller said:Pentagram is as old as the mankind. It was found in Sumer writings dating back to 3000 BC. It was used in ancient Greece and Rome, and it was known as Solomon's (who was known for his interest in "magic", for the lack of a better word) seal in Judea.
Yeah but still... just 10 seconds in google gave me these:

Besides, if everybody else uses it doesnt mean you have to too. [/nitpicking]
If I ever make a game based on Ramayana, it will have more swastika than a neo-Nazi demonstration.Monolith said:Looks great. But get rid of the pentagram. Don't blame us, blame the satanists and goth tards. You can't use the swastika nowadays despite it being used some thousands of years ago in a different context than Nazis used it.
Yes, it can be stored.Kingston said:So where does one gather this magic? What is the magic anyway? Can it be stored like batteries hold energy, how does one produce it etc.
It's the basement of a tower. The energy feeds machines on the upper floors and the control room. Here is an old (a year old?) shot of one of the floors. The recent versions look much better, but I don't have access to them right now (I'm at work).fastpunk said:Pretty indeed. Love the lighting though the walls could have been a bit taller.

Blue is niceNaked Ninja said:... glow blue rather than red then? ...
Glow is a big no-no for TGE? We are using the TGEA version of the game-engine and it holds all the eye-candy you could ever need. I thought there was somekind of free FX-upgrade pack available for TGE...Elhoim said:Yeah, I like it too. Too bad we are limited in the kind of effects we are able to use...
Who, me? I´d like to think so Started using 3DStudio back in the DOS-era... Those were the days...Elhoim said:You seem to have good experience with 3DS, right?
