  1. Is this art direction any good?

    On a side note, shihonage, I found this while googling. Somebody vandalized Moldova's wiki entry:

  2. Ressurection in RPGs

    And unlocking the doors to countless necrophilliac fan fictions...

  3. The Decline is Everywhere

    Cult of the Poison Dragons is the simpler ones. Here's a more obscure one: 无极医宫 (Wu Ji Yi Gong). Direct translation: Infinite Medical Palace. Going by the language's inverted nature when it comes to nouns, the proper direct translation would be Palace of Infinite Medicine. Heck, even that is not...

  4. The Decline is Everywhere

    Lots of porn involving camel and little children. :smug:

  5. The Decline is Everywhere

    Kind of difficult to translate chinese directly to english, considering the amount of abstract/flowery/poetic names that has no non-retarded translations. Like 毒 龙 教 translating to Poison Dragon Cult, which sounds like shit in english but okay in Chinese.

  6. The Decline is Everywhere

    Jin Yong online was wildly successful back then. I can still remember there was a period in high school that everybody were talking about it like how people were talking about WoW now. I actually stayed away from the Jin Yong 1 (offline, original game) because of the hype. It was somewhat like...

  7. The Decline is Everywhere

    Fuck now I'm pissed. This is actually Wu Lin 2 Online, which is an MMORPG. Not only is the artwork fuck-generic, they practically retconned the entire world. Lemme explain. In the original, you have no less than 20 different factions/clans to join, each with their own stuff to learn. In the...

  8. The Decline is Everywhere

    Because in our pursuit to become a modern country, we strongly believe that aping the westerners is the only way to go. So we cloned not only their cars, google, and groupon, but also their gaming industry too. Fuck you America. We're coming for you with clone troopers soon.

  9. Is this art direction any good?

    Fixed scale, unlimited resolution. This means that the scale of the world will always be the same (possibly with only 3 settings: 1x, 2x, 3x) while the larger your screen resolution is, the more world you'll see.

  10. Is this art direction any good?

    Funnily enough, this coincides with our recent shift in design decision to keep the world as small as possible, offsetting the reduction of size with an increase in size and value in NPCs. The idea is that the entire world has a backend economy underneath built around precious metals and...

  11. Is this art direction any good?

    Which one? The "original art" (the one below the concept art) is actual art assets, rendered in-engine using Ogre3D (3d character is photoshopped in though). It is part of the first tech-demo artpack, which I paid for (inclusive of character design, tileset, high poly model, low poly model...

  12. Is this art direction any good?

    Zed, the first image is just a sample of the art style (hand-drawn isometric, thick and rugged lines, stylized draft-quality artwork). Buildings will be scaled accordingly to the 3d character models. There are 3 incentives to change style: (1) it is much faster to draw it in 2D (about 50%...

  13. Icewind Dale The Icewind Dale Series Thread

    Yes. Forgive the perspective, forgive the story, and just play it. If you're a connoisseur of quality RPGs, you'll be sucked in the moment the title screen pops up. The music is fucking awesome. The atmosphere is just right. Damn. Just play it.

  14. Is this art direction any good?

    Alex Drummond. He did my previous two concept arts, and I have an ongoing contract with him to produce more. Here's a previous concept art: Here's the original art style (our own art assets) So, should I make the switch?

  15. Is this art direction any good?

    Wrong on both accounts. It's about a story of Jack Black clones. Edit: Some of his sample artwork if we decide to go this route: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kYmJDb8Ocgw/S ... chouse.jpg
