Rhombus Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I happen to think it looks pretty good considering that they don't have the budget of Oblivion... compared to other indie RPGs it's actually close to the top graphics wise IMO..

Tigranes Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Low-tech graphics are fine if they have style. Right now menus have style but lack polish, and as for those pseudo-Roman generics on the field... Gwarb?

mkreku Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I wonder how hard it would be to implement lightmaps on those textures? I mean, the thing that disturbs me the most about the graphics (which aren't really that bad) is that everything but characters lack shadowing and lighting. It wouldn't have to be realtime, just pre-calculated lights and shadows. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have to be realtime, just pre-calculated lights and shadows. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All you actually need to do is to open the scene in 3ds MAX, set a few lights then open the UV texture editor and use "render to texture" and it will make you a new texture file with the shadows and lights added to the texture You can even just go with the default lighting. It can be done in 2 minutes. With this technique, you dont need a separate lightmap to add on top of your basic texture. But that wont work if you use the same 512x512pixel PNG picture of a wood wall to texture all the wood walls, every object needs its own separate texture DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Tigranes Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah, lighting would be phenomenal. IE engines looked as good as they did because of the meticulous lighting. It's just one of those things that makes immersion and style go up in oodles.

Volourn Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 The graphics aren't going to win awards; but at least they don't make me puke ala a certain other overrated game graphically.

baby arm Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 New interview at NMA. Ratty: Another interesting and novel skill is Disguise. How does it work, exactly? Vince: It's a combination of looking like someone else (wearing certain clothes or displaying a certain ring) and knowing what to say (researching the background of such a person). Let's say that you need to pass through a guarded gate. You chat with the guard and with the townsfolk, and if you have proper skills you may learn that a courier from another town is expected. Asking further and collecting gossips, you may find out more about the town the courier is from (if you haven't been there yet), about the reasons for the visit, about the faction he represents, etc. Then you make yourself look like a courier on an important business and boldly go in, weaving a web of bull**** and confusion. While you will use Persuasion and Charisma to collect the info, you will rely on Disguise to put it all together and act like someone else in a convincing manner, without sweating and giving anyone a reason to suspect you.

deadlus Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Sorry to gravedig, but I bear news and this seems to be the only AoD topic around here. AoD - Choices & Consequences I especially like the fact that there are 7 different ways to get to Antidas. BTW. Looking through the posts here, cool to see how the game has progressed.

Bos_hybrid Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Back to the topic: is there anyone who disagrees with the absolute fact that this is going to be the bet RPG ever? Yep.
