Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[Hormalakh]

Thx. Still trying to figure out names for the team though. I paid for this game, I wanna know who's making it!

Edit:
I think Bobby Null is also on the team, but I don't know WTF he does. Is he a designer/programmer? And Roby Atodero. I'm not sure if he's on the team. He's a programmer.

Just gotta wait, I guess.

Bobby Null is a designer and I'm more than 50% sure Roby's on the team.

no rails on those stairs, unrealistically dangerous

Edair has a cross eyed derp face

Sword is out yet scabbard has sword in it

Aumaua are orcs with face paint

oversized weapons like Final Fantasy

tiny dungeons like Storm of Zehir

everything is grey and lifeless

Did i get it all?


in b4 i missed the "most crucial" one of all

Edairs elbows too pointy. Project Eternity 2/10.

The orcs look like frog-people.

Rob Nesler - Been working in the field for 20 years. Previously with inXile, High Moon Studios, and Treyarch (COD!!!)

Roguey Help this man.

Each time I read an update, I absentmindedly peruse the comments section... and each time I'm rewarded with drivel posted by at least one dimwit from the Obsidian Order with a LARP-y title.

Well, per Rob Nesler, there are a few unfilled art positions left which will be filled after pre-production.

In regards to Menze, per Rob,

Menze is currently involved in Project New York. I believe that he will play an important role in finalizing level art for Project Eternity.

How do you make an Arcanum character so frail you get one-shotted by a wolf?

Bremerkamp was also Lead Animator of Vampire:Bloodlines

 

[Hormalakh]

Yeah a lot of these artists worked on many titles. I just wanted to put up their most recent work and also their last names. This way, whoever is interested can look them up, look at their prior work, and see where the art direction would be leading to. We've got a lot of DS3 guys on the art team. Nesler has worked on a lot of different games and so I'm glad he's the director: he's got a lot of experience to draw from and that can be good (or bad). Govela has been working in the field for a while too, so from a techincal perspective I think they've got some good people. We can expect less glitchy graphics, for example. The whole cloth physics kind of shows this too.

Edit: Many of the older guys have been working in the whole RPG field for a while - they were first at Interplay, then some of them went to Troika, and then moved over to Obsidian. These older guys have been doing this for a while.

I wonder if this game is going to have Fallout-esque animated heads because the facial animation in Bloodlines was amazing.

 

[Jaesun]

Fuck people are stupid.

 

[Zed]

Menze is the best artist they have at Obsidian. I hope he gets in on it somehow. Perhaps to make some portraits or something. His forte seems to be characters and objects, so.
