The town exterior

31 01 2008

New screens on the screenshot page of the new Tel Aryon town. Very similar to the old layout, but with more rugged terrain and a tower in the process of being redesigned.

I’m having a small amount of trouble with some of the interior rooms, but once that’s sorted I can start actually building the town properly. After that, decorating and populating it, inplementing quests and upgrades should be time consuming but relatively easy!

 EDIT: Here’s a sneak preview of a turret interior – it looked totally rubbish with my textures but with Plangkye’s ones it looks pretty swanky! Click for a larger image.

Progress II

New screenshots are on the screenshots page.

Also I’ve posted a WIPz thread on the ESF, click me to go there now!





Progress!

29 01 2008

Am excited to tell you that after months of busy periods and, well, a lot of procrastination, I finally got round to testing out a suggestion I was given by Phitt on the official forums. And what do you know… it worked like a dream! So a big thanks to Phitt, and an apology for being so slow about acknowledging him.

So, stay tuned for more updates – now that I’m not going to be throwing coffee mugs through my screen because of ghost problems, I can really crack on with modelling the interiors. I also wanted to do interesting new bits… think organic chairs, tables and the like… they will take time though.





Embarrassingly slow updates

4 01 2008

I thought the holidays would give me spare time! Not the case, so nothing happening on the Tel Aryon front, for those who actually read this. I swear sooner or later I’m going to be able to put pen to paper (mouse to Blender) and do something.





More roadblocks

11 12 2007

Work has reared its ugly head again, and I have almost no time to get on with Tel Aryon. Stay tuned though – I really want to finish this one.





Finally…

3 12 2007

…I’ve managed to clear my backlog of other work, such as science writing and computer fixing. Well almost. Enough to really get to grips with Tel Aryon again at any rate!

So if anyone has any comments to make at the beginning of the middle of my modelling adventure, please write them here. I’ll take anything – criticism, suggestions, requests… just scribble it down in a comment here.





Back in black

21 11 2007

I’ve just returned to Swansea, in the land of my fathers, and will be starting work on Tel Aryon as soon as I remember how to use Blender, and finish off some other bits and pieces.
