Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG
- Thread starter Rhuantavan
- Start date
Not every castle is perfect, but this one has a steep climb angle, an easily collapsable wooden bridge and an iron gate can be lowered in front of the door. Plus all the machicolations help in smashing enemy heads. I'd give it a 6-7 out of 10.

Good point, but I don't know that I'd call that easily collapsible. I wouldn't want to be the guy they send out with a hatchet and a box of matches just before the enemy get there!

Oh come on, it's a game, for fuck's sake.
Don't recall if this was ever mentioned, but are we getting monsters or humanoids in the game?

It'll be mainly humans, but there's a chance you'll come across a mythological being or two.

With tentacles?
Rhuantavan needs to create a quest in a dungeon where you need to write (or choose) the name of the region to escape, and if you write/choose Sarengar, you fall into a terrible dungeon 10 floors down. Just saying.
PS: I would still choose Sarengar.
PSS: This needs to be somewhere with a wishlist so I can put it on top of mine. These are some delicious screenshots, hot damn.

Easy maybe, but you can focus your defense here, it's a choke point. The moat itself will make it hard to use ladders and such stuff. Even the slope alone, in case the wall is taken down, is a pain in the ass when you have to run up and someone is poking you with a spear from above.
Wow! Love the verticality, really atmospheric looking shots too.
Also, not sure if asked before, but are there (big) towns with 2D images like in BaK? I wouldn't mind, some of those town graphics with the music were sweet.

I planned to have that for the castle proper, once you get inside the walls, but not sure if I'll do that for this instance. Indeed I will do it for the cities and other huge places in the game though. I'm not sure if I'll go with 2d art, more likely just a fixed-camera 3d view over a zone of each place.
Is there conversation music? I always loved it when talking to an NPC with a unique model or in some scenes where the music changed to something moody.
Yes, there is (or will be). Tony is working on a number of tracks representing certain moods to play in dialogues or other narrative events.

By the way Rhuantavan I just noticed the rain from the pics Abu Antar just posted.
Do you plan an option to disable weather effects?
Pixealated, pixely, whatever. I've had a few drinks.
No, weather will play a major role in the game. It is pre-generated and once you start the game, you can't change it. I won't spoil too much.

So we play a farmer. Noted.
I forgot about this one. Is it out yet or anything?
I encourage you to become my patron, so you'll get reminded of this project's existence every month.

It's not what i call pixelylated at all.
I hate weather effects, unity ones being the worst offenders, because usually, they bring a huge drop in performances.

They work fine in CoS, trust me. I'm all for optimization.
That's what you're telling us now, but I can already see codexers refunding PS4 and XBONE versions of 'Call of Saregnar".
There will be no PS4 and such when CoS releases. Those will be machines of legend told through generations.
