| 6s | hi there I'm evens orchids mathcad games |
|---|---|
| 9s | art director welcome to dev blog 9 this |
| 12s | one is all about art I'm here to tell |
| 15s | you a few thoughts behind the visual |
| 16s | style of pagan online let's talk about |
| 19s | some of the main goals our team had in |
| 21s | bringing you the world of gods and |
| 23s | heroes we want pagan online to be the |
| 28s | game that people play for years to come |
| 30s | always fully engaged graphics that are |
| 33s | cutting-edge today don't necessarily |
| 35s | remain that way tomorrow not every |
| 37s | visual presentation age as well while |
| 40s | there certainly a place for photo |
| 41s | realism in games for pagan online we |
| 44s | chose a style that we believe has a more |
| 46s | timeless quality look we are all fans of |
| 52s | dark and gloomy I mean who doesn't love |
| 54s | bleak desolate and desperate and |
| 58s | certainly a world where spawn of |
| 60s | nightmares manages to kill the world's |
| 63s | greatest heroes is a good place for dark |
| 65s | and gloomy but pagan online is meant to |
| 68s | be something to invest hours and hours |
| 70s | of your time over many days months and |
| 72s | years something you gladly get back into |
| 76s | so we wanted to tell a serious tale with |
| 78s | dark undertones but at the same time be |
| 81s | inviting and pleasant to look at |
| 83s | fortunately we had some good inspiration |
| 86s | from the world of Slavic myths Slavs are |
| 88s | people with a rich history and they went |
| 91s | through many hardships life was hard |
| 93s | more often than not and heroic endurance |
| 96s | faced with suffering is at the core of |
| 99s | Slavic culture you would think myths of |
| 102s | such a people would be bleak colorless |
| 104s | and dark but that's not the case |
| 107s | maybe it was spite maybe some weird form |
| 110s | of coping mechanism but there is so much |
| 112s | color and beauty in Slavic folklore that |
| 115s | it presented a perfect pool to draw |
| 117s | ideas from there is something of a tone |
| 120s | to Slavic stories it is a vibrant world |
| 122s | where humor and sadness intertwine |
| 125s | where seriousness goes hand in hand with |
| 128s | over-the-top crazy |
| 129s | we're terrible struggles are met with |
| 132s | laughter a perfect mixture for again |
| 134s | like Kagan online so instead of choosing |
| 137s | visuals that are tail dark and gritty |
| 140s | we chose with great intent something |
| 142s | quilted like vibrancy and energy at the |
| 146s | same time it allowed us to create an |
| 148s | interesting contrast between different |
| 150s | themes of the game and to provide an |
| 152s | environment for you our players would |
| 154s | get lost in four days we also wanted to |
| 161s | invoke the feeling of old folk tales |
| 163s | where allegory meets hyperbole in epic |
| 166s | ways where magical fires burn twice as |
| 169s | bright huge swords cut through stone and |
| 172s | steel and heroes have three hearts |
| 174s | beating within their chests this is what |
| 177s | we call exaggerated realism the world of |
| 180s | slavic myths is exaggerated but not |
| 183s | comical or distorted speaking of heroes |
| 186s | there at the very core of pagan Online's |
| 189s | experience with heroes we had two major |
| 193s | goals one of them was for heroes to look |
| 195s | authentic and true to their roots in |
| 198s | slavic mythology but at the same time |
| 200s | feel familiar we had to thread a fine |
| 204s | line between recognizable archetypes and |
| 207s | new unique slavic inspired designs our |
| 210s | second goal was to convey their fighting |
| 212s | style and the nature of their abilities |
| 215s | through their design everything had to |
| 217s | read well each of our heroes represents |
| 220s | a different fantasy of power and skill |
| 223s | and the goal was to transfer their |
| 225s | strength to the player as power comes in |
| 227s | many forms |
| 228s | whether it's smashing a hammer to the |
| 230s | ground casting blood magic or vaulting |
| 233s | over enemies while shooting at them we |
| 235s | wanted our heroes to radiate their power |
| 238s | in unique ways we wanted them to feel |
| 240s | iconic based not only on how they look |
| 243s | but also what they do every skill or |
| 246s | ability |
| 247s | we need to feel powerful but also read |
| 250s | clearly this was just a short overview |
| 253s | our approach to making pagan on lines |
| 255s | art but there is so much more to it than |
| 258s | that now I would like to summon my |
| 261s | friend and colleague pagan online art |
| 264s | director and lead artist the backbone of |
| 268s | our our team a true wizard of light |
| 272s | color and shape nikola Abramovich to |
| 278s | announce the few discussions you might |
| 280s | be interested in creating visuals for a |
| 283s | game is a complex image of art and |
| 286s | technology full of tears pain and blood |
| 291s | there are so many things to cover but |
| 293s | today it's up to you what would you like |
