Vapourware Project Silkworm (from a indie)

[Apexeon]

Hello

One man army here and I need some hits and blows (getting lonely on my blog).
Production started october 15 2012. Tracking at 1 map per day.
I will update my progress on my blog. Also soon I will post some
youtube videos to talk about production and the games rule set.

Also I do the RPG rule system as well (100 pages).

Wish me luck.

Oh yer I guess I need a concept artist.

Maps are looking great. Willing to share any more info on the project?

Character sprites should be a little larger, otherwise looks awesome.

You ARE going for party based, turnbased combat right? Not gay assed real time with pause??

What's the ruleset like? Class based hopefully with lots of cool classes, including dark classes like Blackguard, Deathknight, etc?

Is Vampire a race? (or class)?

How are you paying for this artwork and other stuff you will need?

MORE INFO!!!

And best of luck! Go for a kickstarter once you have a video of gameplay ready.

Looking VERY good! Which program do you use to model and render them?

Lightwave 11. Love the new lightwave.

At the moment I am working on the maps and new art for the website (art mode).
Once I have the website looking respectable I will be posting up all the fun stuff (stats,spells).

My pet peeve of no visible light sources prevents me from further evaluation. I need some sconces, braziers, windows, or glowing magic orbs.

Damn, you work fast. Do you use prefabs or hand-model everything in 3ds Max Lightwave and do the textures etc. yourself?

Looks great. Keep it up.

Yeah, this.
Will you add some details with photoshop or something?

---> I am hard core.

Turn based.

Death Knight is in already

Templar on the good side.

I build everything bar a few models, but I prefer to make everything. I sometimes buy barrels and little things.
A new map will be put up today on my Blog.

Agree. Lighting will be done last.
So easy to chop and change lights so I don't hire 4 people on 50K each to do it.

Have you made some sort of wilderness areas too? Please post some, I like your "clean" way of doing the maps, so I'd be interested how you do forests or such for example!

Looks awesome, I totally have a boner right now.

 

[Jaesun]

That looks pretty fucking sweet Apexeon! And turn-based? FUCK YES. Can't wait to hear/see more of this.

Yeap getting the outdoor requests on another website as well .
I have booked them in for next week.
For me they are harder at the moment.

TURN BASE all the way. Did any AAA dev hear that. oooo look Halo 45.5 and Cod 556 oooo and look at MMORPG I am melting nooo melting.

Yup, I figured you wanted to keep the placements flexible for now. I'm very keen on realistic lighting (and how fuckdark most interiors have always been until Edison) because of my love of thieves & stealth.

Agree but at the moment I need to light them up to spot all my mistakes

 

[Apexeon]

Funky lighting effects (20 minute job). This is more a example below as the coders and game engine would handle funky spells like this in real time.
Back to more important things like making more models .
