Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

People are being facetious, not understanding, not describing it very well, but here is a legitimate pinpoint description on what feels "RS3" about it:

Defining shading with triangle faces

Zulrah and zulrah items are an example of each triangle face taking a DISTINCT new color (which I still think is ugly) but this describes something similar. In a lot of "RS3 looking" models (namely for instance the diary armor) you get what I'd describe as "triangle shading"

Here is me pointing out the distinct colors you used on each piece- you don't even need this guide because you can see the EXACT splits on the triangles and where these colors suddenly shift.

This sometimes happens on old models but it's a lot more deliberate in those instances. Take for instance on ...

You started with "entirely incorrect" then agreed that the helmet was based off of the Tyras helm just FYI

West I know you're getting some backlash, but in my own opinion the dragonstone armour came out fantastic. I especially love the detail on the platebody and the spiked pieces of dragonstone decorating the armour.

I feel we don't get enough fashion to mess around with these days and seeing designs like this dragonstone armour are always a brilliant surprise. Well done.

No need to get offended man. It’s just that these designs seem a little too complex and detailed. I think you would get a far greater positive response if you dialed down the assets a bit.

Like, let’s look at something like ahrims! It’s iconic because it’s simplistic. It has a chain on it, and it’s brown. But that’s it! But it looks amazing because it is the only robe with a chain. It’s very slight but it’s beautiful.

Think of it that way. These designs could just use some ‘boiling down’ so to speak. That’s what can make it stand out the most! All it needs is ‘a little something different’ :)

We'd like to add a world map for the Warped Library to allow players to better navigate it.

Well shit. I have a .PSD file of the whole library broken into outline, floor, etc for each floor if you need it lol. /u/JagexGambit

I wonder how the mods feel about the community making small things, such as chat heads, such a big deal. I do appreciate that they are open to feedback, no matter how small it may seem

U/Jagexgambit Please return Elena to us. She has been the same since I was 9 years old, maybe certain mods at Jagex dont care for the old art and character styles of osrs but they are wrong for wanting to update them. Osrs means alot to me and old NPC's changing chat heads bothers me greatly, you cant just change them and act like it didnt happen, elena is human not an elf, leave her alone.

I did really like your hosidius rework a lot, but the character models for the new quest look very disproportional to just about every other NPC in OSRS. Every NPC uses a a small palette of moderate colours and no shading, but the newest models use very vibrant colours and shading. Also the models look quite high-poly compared to the old models, which isn't always a good thing. Their proportions are also wildly different from every other NPC in OSRS.

everyone’s opinion on what is ‘old school’ varies person to person, regardless of background.

No kidding. I was just a kid in 2007 and only got to experience so much of it before I had to grow up with post-HD RS2, yet I've come to form some conservative opinions on the game's visuals.

For instance, a fresh and new one at that, the dragonstone armor. I personally consider it sacred that no armor in OSRS should have random gems or glowing lights no matter the reasoning... You can imagine my shock when I found out you went and chucked something just like that into the game.

(Late edit but best if clarified: In retrospect the word I was looking for was "meaningless" and I don't mean to say armor can't have shiny-glowie elements; the obsidian armor pulls it off quite nicely)
 
I do mostly like your environments, but my tastes just don't allow me to appreciate your equipment designs as consistently.

So is the chat head poll going to work like regular polls where 75% is needed to pass?

What if, for example, option a gets 20%, option b gets 10%, and option c gets 70%. Do the votes from option b get thrown out as if it were a skip?

The artist we need but don't deserve. Amazing job on the environments and layout of Prif btw. Really quality stuff.
