The crowdfunding campaign finished a while ago now.\u00a0 Only $2200 was raised, although a while after the campaign finished, I got a few late donations.\u00a0 In particular was an almighty $2000 from the generous Cross77.\u00a0 Thankyou!\u00a0 For this donation he will be working with me to design his own faction in the game.<\/p>\n

So I’d like to show you all what I am currently doing with the money from the “failed” campaign.<\/p>\n

It took quite a long time, but I eventually found a highly skilled freelance artist. As you know I’m currently working on the building\/RTS features of the game, so we started off on the designs for new “furniture”.\u00a0 Things like mines, machinery, crafting stations.\u00a0 A couple of samples:<\/p>\n

\"new<\/a><\/p>\n

The smithy can be built indoors, its used to craft weapons and armour.<\/em><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"new<\/a><\/p>\n

Windmills will be used to generate power for just about everything.<\/em><\/div>\n

The design phase is done for now leaving about 14 designs.\u00a0 The first 3 models are currently being worked on.<\/p>\n

And we have a new male and female character model being made.\u00a0 Male is first, its a lot more high detail now and will have loads of different faces, hairs etc.\u00a0 I feel character customisation is an important part of the game, so its worth spending the time on this.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/a><\/p>\n

Current WIP<\/em><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

There will also be several different bumpmaps blended in-game, so strong characters will look more muscular, slaves will look skinny and ill, nobles will look fat etc.
\nThe female model will be coming shortly after.<\/p>\n

After the 2 base meshes are done we will start working on new armour, clothing, hair etc.\u00a0 and plenty of unique factions.<\/p>\n

And the beauty is that someone else is doing it all for me, while I work on continuing with the building features!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
