Concept Art of the Month
Temple

❖ The Temple serves as a place of worship for your subjects. They recite Incantations to the Gods and are granted the ability to use magic spells. The stronger the Faith of your subjects, the more powerful these spells will become.
Totems

❖ Totems are scattered around the wildlands as tributes to the lesser gods of the world of Gord. Each of the six Totems offers a unique experience bonus for a short time.
Monsters of Gord
Gazer

❖ The treetops are full of Gazers. Those who dare look up to see them closely may never see again. They can't stand eye contact. Provoked by an intruder, Gazers jump at their face to blind them. Once the victim is defenseless, they try to devour their entire face.
Spider Warrior

❖ Those who trespass in the forest must beware of its guardians. Spider Warriors don't need a weapon to defeat you. Their strength lies in their restless jaws, venomous spit, razor-sharp limbs, speed, and most of all, the support of their numerous siblings.
Structures

❖ Build a Meadery in your Gord to give your subjects a place to rest and boost their Sanity level.

❖ Build a Hunter's Den to increase food production in your Gord. When trained as Hunters, your subjects will venture into the woods to hunt deer and stags.

❖ Build a Gold Mine to gather and process gold ore from the mountains. Gold will be required to maintain your priciest military structures and to recruit wandering warriors to fight for your settlement.
Screenshots

❖ Incantations are powerful spells unlocked by building a Temple and raising the Faith level of your Gord. Use them to defend your subjects and vanquish your enemies.

❖ The ancient tribes of this world built great stone structures. Many centuries have passed and now they lay in ruins, as monuments of the past.

❖ Lookout Towers have been built throughout the forest. Ignite the pyres on top to light up the surrounding area and reveal what's hiding in the darkness for a short time.
The Chronicle

Gord Chronicle Entries #5-9
❖ Listen to the newest tales from the lore of Gord in The Chronicle:

#5 - The Water of Life - Gaze fixed upon the waves, Praboh watched in awe as the water below began to take shape.

#6 - The Birth of Jealousy - The love of Praboh and Mokosh shook the Earth below their feet. They did not know what, or who, they had awoken in the darkness underground.

#7 - Veles's Work - Inspired by his love of the Water goddess, Veles used power that was not his own and began breathing life into new beings for his Earth.

#8 - The Shadow of Recklessness - Mokosh and Praboh both believed this new world to be a gift of the other's making. They did not yet know it was truly the product of Veles' jealousy...

#9 - The Underworld - Allured by the beauty of this new world, Mokosh journeyed further into its mysterious depths and unknowingly crossed the point of no return; the gates of Veles's realm.

Imps are cowardly, malevolent and endlessly snarky creatures. If you hear sounds of muttering and complaining from the shadows, prepare for nasty incoming projectiles!

I like these monster designs so far. Some nice Ivan Bilibin influences.

[Galdred]

It looks quite interesting. Please tell me they won't rely on a card based system (I have nothing against these, but they are a bit over represented lately...).

 

[cyborgboy95]

Edwyn is the King's loyal emissary, carrying out his demands and monitoring all activity within the gord. A coward and a sycophant, he is determined to conquer the wildlands to raise his standing with the king no matter the cost.

Incidentally, Gord is also a guy who specializes in bizarre device bondage.

 

[Storyfag]

Monsters are nicely designed, but so far pretty generic. Waiting for something more unique.

 

[Falksi]

The game really doesn't look like it knows what it wants to be. It just seems to be throwing what's trendy into a mixing pot and hoping something decent spills out after.

 

[Serus]

Incidentally, Gord is also a guy who specializes in bizarre device bondage.

Maybe he decided to invest his profits in polish game industry. It gets more classy by the day. And there are a lot of potential in future games based off his works.


A little more seriously. The art looks very nice, if the gameplay was as good we'd have a winner. But the game itself has high probability to be (nigger) shit judging by... well, me.

It seems essential to Slavic fantasy that everyone and everything just looks diseased, huh? Metal.

How the fuck is this slavic when all the monsters are generic fantasy shit? Huge spider? Please.

At least use the real slavic mythological beasts.

 

[Üstad]

Make it shit poisonous guano on it's prey like bomber planes, that'd be unique.
