Game News Knights Of The Chalice 2 Goals

[skavenhorde]

I fucked up with posting a two year old "update". It's always a shock to the system when Dhruin needs a break. Takes a while to figure out what the fuck is going on around the web when I'm so used to Dhruin doing it all. Freaking guy is a machine when it comes to finding these newsbits.

I've talked with Pierre and it's true. He's working on a RTS right now and FWE is on hold. Like I said though, some of the code for the RTS will be usable in FWE and hopefully it won't take that long to make.

The RTS may have a Dune-like vibe to it.

For wider audience? Graphics revamp? Improved sound?

Not sure if first step towards decline.

Bummer.

Well the first game was shit in terms of graphics and sound, so I'm happy about these improvements.

What was wrong with them? It wasn't a work of art but it looked pretty decent.

"OO is much more suitable for a large project, I now realise this"

predict analysis paralysis.

Predict that Knight of the chalice 3 will be functional.

It lacked bloom and anti-aliasing.
No, I actually didn't like the old NES Zelda style graphics, plus the Ultima VII camera angle. I know it's just a matter of preference, but it didn't feel right for me. The animations were also too minimalistic. I know indies can do better (Avadon comes into mind).

Have you seen the Exile/Avernum series? KOTC looks better than both. It took Vogel years to come up to that standard and you can't use "indies" as a catch-all because different people have different financial circumstances. Those were the animations and graphics he could afford and not everyone gets lucky with someone willing to work for basically-free.

I'm not arguing about that. I know that probably that was the best they could come up with, given the low budget of the game. I just said that I didn't like the style and look of it.

Ah, ok. Thanks for this important piece of info.

What do you think about the graphics of The Witcher 2 and/or Skyrim? Gorgeous? Like/Dislike?

No need to be sarcastic.

But since you asked, The Witcher 2 has amazing graphics, one of the best looking games evar! Skyrim is just bland, grey and boring.

If i'm remembering right, i think the developer deliberatly went low-res just because he like how it looked.

But anyway, you're right, personal preference and all that. Not that it matters, KOTC could be ASCII and i'd still play it just because the combat was so fucking good.

Remember that KotC now has 2 more graphical modes, in one of which you can see a lot more on the screen.
