First look: New forts concept art
Posted on September 10, 2010 by Zombrex
Just as Chilko mentioned in his interview for this blog, our art department is working on a big architectural revamp for the realms forts and castles. The main idea for this change is to make the invasions and wars between Alsius, Ignis and Syrtis more exciting, balanced, challenging, and of course, more fun to play.
These new structures will have a better layout and gameplay flow, but they will look amazing too! Here is the first pack of concept images for the new models. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress.
ALSIUS FORTS
IGNIS FORTS
SYRTIS FORTS
We are sure that many of you are wondering what kind of aspects are taken into account for a process like this. To take you out of darkness in this matter, we talk with Nicolás Campelo, one of our artists behind the structures revamp.
“For the forts we are working to achieve two main objectives. In the first place, we want to improve the combat within the forts interiors, and to do so we are changing their main architectures giving more room to allow combats between several characters avoiding any kind of camera and player movement issues. The second objective is to give each fort a specific unique structure, that resembles the realm and environment where it’s located. As you can see in the posted images, we are now finishing the visual part of this re-design. The next phase will require to try the different possibilities involving structure space, keeping in mind gameplay needs to improve combat within forts walls”.
We are hoping to have the new forts and castles ready before the end of the year. But, to do a more equitable job be will need all the comments and ideas that many of you want for this aspect of Regnum. So feel free to share any kind of thoughts related to this matter in our community forum. Stay tuned.
