| 0s | now that the entire starting area has |
|---|---|
| 2s | been given a graphical overhaul the |
| 3s | environment team has decided to shift |
| 5s | its attention to the kingdom of kandarin |
| 7s | to give it the same kind of graphical |
| 8s | makeover I personally really like the |
| 10s | area of kendrin like Ard specifically |
| 13s | just has so many interesting story lines |
| 14s | going through it and the graphics are so |
| 16s | outdated that they don't really support |
| 18s | it the mood in West sardone for example |
| 20s | like the story is quite dark but it just |
| 22s | looks very Bland and gray I was very |
| 24s | happy to have an opportunity to go in |
| 26s | and actually change the graphics to to |
| 28s | kind of match the story that's going |
| 30s | there the entire art team has this drive |
| 32s | to constantly push ourselves to keep |
| 34s | releasing things that look better and |
| 35s | better that we can be proud of |
| 36s | unfortunately there are quite a few |
| 37s | older areas of the game that don't |
| 39s | reflect the way we want it to look or |
| 41s | show the game at its |
| 42s | [Music] |
| 52s | best one of the main benefits that we |
| 55s | get from these graphical updates is just |
| 57s | consistency imagine if you're a new |
| 58s | player jumping in or even an existing |
| 60s | player and then you walk from one modern |
| 62s | area into this existing members area and |
| 65s | it just suddenly looks very outdated or |
| 68s | you'll walk in and the sun shifts 90° in |
| 71s | the sky and suddenly you're in graphics |
| 73s | from 2000 the standout feature for me |
| 76s | from this project has to be the |
| 77s | improvements to the mountain range |
| 79s | before these really had no business even |
| 80s | being called mountains they were so |
| 82s | unimpressive whereas now they're tall |
| 84s | they're imposing they've got a great |
| 86s | silhouette that just runs along that |
| 88s | entire edge of the continent and are |
| 89s | always visible one of my other favorite |
| 91s | areas of this update is ardoin and |
| 93s | specifically the market area in Ardo |
| 95s | before it it kind of looked a bit like a |
| 97s | Fark King lot it was very Square so I |
| 99s | went in and tried to add a lot more |
| 100s | color and life and Market stalls and |
| 102s | make it look like an actual nice |
| 104s | medieval Marketplace this graphical |
| 106s | refresh is part of a much larger project |
| 108s | we don't intend to stop doing releases |
| 111s | like this until the entire surface world |
| 113s | has had the same treatment obviously |
| 114s | this is a very big task to undertake and |
| 117s | it won't be a quick thing to happen but |
| 119s | we will be including ining the players |
| 121s | wherever we can so expect to see regular |
| 123s | work in progress screenshots from the |
| 124s | team of what we're working on and |
| 126s | there'll be plenty of polls going live |
| 128s | so that you can help shape the direction |
| 129s | this takes and which areas we tackle |
| 131s | next I'm really excited for players to |
| 133s | get their hands on kandin and I'm really |
| 135s | excited to see all of the screenshots |
| 137s | that they will come up with and just see |
| 139s | them walk around the new areas it's been |
| 141s | a long time coming and it's been a lot |
| 142s | of hard work but we're really happy with |
| 144s | the results and we're really excited to |
| 146s | hear what you think of it we love |
| 147s | getting all your impressions and |
| 149s | feedback it's really what drives us to |
| 151s | keep doing these |
| 153s | updates |
