Thank you. I suppose I should watch this film.

Fantastic work on all the clues so far, folks. The next mystery is a picture of King Roald. Enigmatic!

To clear up any ambiguity, there's a note attached. It reas as follows:

"The construction of Fort Forinthry is complete! To celebrate, King Roald request that you host a banquet for the Misthalin royal family and assorted nobility. As if the usual political machinations of the Kingdom's elite weren't enough, the evening takes a sinister turn when one of the nobles is murdered at the banquet table! The gates are barred for the night; no one ma...

Thank you for engaging with the community. I know it can be difficult sometimes given all the... "passionate" feedback people can often make. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we appreciate you guys for keeping our favorite game alive.

<3!

By commisioned, does this mean you’re outsourcing your graphics/player models works these days? As opposed to asking the graphics department to make it? (Legit question as comissioning something to me and many others implies having another company do it)

We use a hybrid model. Some assets are outsourced, and some are done in-house, depending on the expertise required and production needs / staff availability.

IIRC Adrasteia's singing animations were created by one of our in-house animators, so I admittedly made a mis-leading statement.

Heyo Folks, Team is working on addressing this issue at the moment.

Heyo, that was my bad. We changed what the shortlink was going to be after the TWIR was prepared and I didn't catch it. Should be updated now and bring you to here - https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a-message-from-the-wilderness

Is this a hold up for the newcharacter player models too: incorporating the new models into all of the quest cutscenes? bc I'd be fine if old models were used in cutscenes if it meant we got to walk around and play with updated models sooner.

I can't say that's a notable obstacle for it. The initial hurdle to get over is the new player avatar and all the potential equipment that can be layered on it, which spans twenty years of varying graphical fidelity.

In the meantime, we have been making use of the new human base for newly created human NPCs where viable (eg Adrasteia, Moia).

We’ve made it ‘Scapers – it’s the final update for 2022! Read on for all the info about our Christmas events, plus a cheeky sneaky-peeky at what’s coming next year. Have a fantastic festive break and we’ll see you again on January 9th!

Apparently that was astoundingly difficult for them to do. I wonder if RS models are still animated by [tries not to gag] stretching the tris rather than... you know... rigging them, because a properly rigged model would mean that even timing-precise lip sync like this example wouldn't be a gruelling task.

To clarify, the difficulty wasn't in creating the animations, but the content development side of cutscene composition, camera work, timing the action to the music, getting the lyrics to appear at an appropriate time.

We commissioned a singing idle animation and a second to trigger as needed for flourishes. We didn't go as far as creating unique lip synced animations for each voiced line. If you got the impression we did, that's a good sign!

Shout out to Mod Zura for creating the musical finale and especially his epic camera work.

My contribution came in tuning the timing to make the most of what we had (especially later when the voiced track became available) and getting obsessively perfectionistic about trivial details.

As of the dive update, surge/escape are no longer triggered by revolution. This is a bug and i hope that jagex should be fixing it.

There isn't a way to fix this afaik, you just won't be able to do afk pthentraken in the meantime.

Should be fixed when today's patch notes release.

I would have a Sporaxe wouldn't I?

Fun seeing this progress, thanks for sharing!

Greetings,

You will most likely view my explanation as an excuse, and perhaps it is.

It was a typical Saturday for me, with the usual chores around the house and some of the other activities that I like to do when I'm not working. I was still required to log in to bring the newspost up to date and provide you with a new snippet of information regarding what's going to happen in 2023. This is when I first found out about the problems with the server. I am sorry that we did not inform you about the problems with the server in a more timely manner. There was no malice or anything of the sort intended at any point.

Although we do care about you very much, there are some circumstances that are beyond our control and therefore beyond our ability to prevent them.

We are also just regular people who have lives and responsibilities outside of our work, so on weekends, when we have the opportunity to step away from our computers, we do so.

Please acc...

It was more of an assignment than a clue.
