Hey Anno Community,
It’s been a week since the release of the Pirrrate Cove Pack for Anno 1800 – we couldn’t resist the urge to release it on “Talk Like A Pirate Day”. We hope you’re having a great time bringing some pirate-spirit into your settlements!
We have one more, one last, Cosmetic DLC releasing at the end of this year. It’s the end of an era for us – and we’ll have more information on this last cosmetic pack in the coming months.
Community Contest: Quest
The submission phase for our latest Community Contest ended last Sunday and we were blown away by the number of emails we received. Clearly, we struck a chord with this quest design contest!
Right now, we’re in the middle of going through all the quests we received and picking our favourites. We’ll update you, when the voting is about to start.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Amongst the ones we already went through, we have seen many creative ideas, humorous little stories and epic tales!
Upcoming
So, what’s coming up in terms of DevBlogs for Anno 117: Pax Romana in the coming months?
With a little bit of delay due to time constraints, the next blogs will go behind-the-scenes and look at how we develop games, starting with the development of the original vision for the game, followed by a look at the work of the Game Design department and the Production team.
The first of these blogs is planned for early October.
Community Spotlight
Let’s end today’s blog with a Community Spotlight!
First, we simply had to share this forged “A” by Kleseus. The coolest part is that he started with his project before we revealed that we had done the same thing with Owen from Gate Foot Forge, as previously shared. Great project, we love seeing our logo come to life like that!
And we have two massive construction projects we simply had to highlight here
The first one is by Erasmuze, the city of “Wienna” with its many palaces, museums and plenty of places to relax. And let’s not forget about the neighboring spa town of Karlshower. An impressive and beautifully detailed project inspired by the real cities of Vienna and Karlovy Vary.
More recently, he also shared an overview of his city of Santa Cruz in the New World – in case you’re looking for further inspiration.
Finally, with many Lego fans in the team here as well, we can’t help but direct your attention to this project on Lego Ideas for an Anno 1800 diorama. It’s a cute build of a harbour scene – and even includes the World’s Fair. If you like TangTaizong’s creation, you can support it on Lego Ideas.
