Group Ironman Blog *Updated Following Feedback*

They made this mistake with the setup of the polled questions when the new skills were being presented and ended up almost passing but not quite. They are asking if GIM should be added "as described in the blog" as a single question.

This, and future big updates that have overwhelming support + many hours of development work gone into them, need to be posed as two questions:

  1. Should GIM be added to the game?
  2. Should GIM exist as described in the blog?

This way, for new OSRS features that have overwhelming support, you will clearly see that reflected in the question 1 of the poll. Then if there are heavy balance issues or still things left to be address, they can at least spend more time getting community feedback and equally they know their development work isn't going to waste.

I hope that they either change the question formatting for this poll or at least take note of this for future b...

This is some great feedback! I'll personally share it with the team.

The example images from today's art stream with a different lighting system are the perfect way to bring OSRS into 2021 while maintaining the nostalgic look and feel of 2007 AND it should be one of the highest priorities. 1v1 me if you disagree

I want to be respectful with this comment, I understand that it isn't a single Jmod's decision, but you all HAVE to understand how disrespected we feel as a community right now. I was so happy to see the Jagex art stream, and the direction it is headed, but the Third-Party HD Clients Statement today has soured that excitement completely.

There is NO excuse for letting these HD projects get to their final day of testing/approval to shit-can it. if you had done this a month into development i would understand, but this is so blatant its just disrespectful to the community who has put so much work into your game.

Edit: personally I have 3 friends that I had convinced to start playing when the runelite HD plugin was released. that could have been today, but now I have to tell them to forget it because this game won't see a graphical updates for years

Yes, I completely understand, and I can assure you that these decisions are not taken lightly by Jagex. Obviously the stream yesterday had nothing to do with the announcement of today, it may sound like it but that is not the case. We actually postponed the stream yesterday due to illnesses, bank holiday and vacations a couple weeks already.

The team at Old School are very dedicated to the community and are doing their best to provide the best experience possible for players. In my past 2 years joining Jagex of my many years in the industry, I've never seen a more dedicated dev team to a game as much as the OSRS team.

When it comes to graphical updates - We know that this is something that many players want, we are working very hard on finding the best way to approach this. A solution that can satisfy all players of Old School, both new and old.

I know this doesn't necessarily satisfy any of the bad feelings from todays announcements, but your friends migh...

Great to see that you liked it! As stated those images are very rough explorations and nothing that we have committed to as of yet. There is still lots of R&D that needs to be done before we come to any conclusions but rest assured that we will keep everyone in the loop and are open for feedback (constructive ones) :)

Tune in for more awesome stuff in the nearest future!

Nice read and another high-effort post as usual! Have you tried to come in contact with any jmods on the art team to see if this is valuable for them? Paging u/Mod_West and u/JagexDeagle

Hi there! I rarely appear on reddit to make posts, but as this fall right into my alley I felt obligated to at the very least acknowledge your analysis.

First off, well done! There are some good points made in your very long doc (I did not read it all to be frank).

The Old School Art style is very difficult to understand and explain yes. It has been my focus in the past year to deep dive in and figure out. I've come to roadblocks, done 180's midway through, taken a complete different direction to it until I have come to some conclusions.

The style of Old School is created by the hands of many different inputs, in the very early ages many of the art assets where in fact done by content developers.

Imagine this – You have planned to do a painting, you have not really decided the motif yet, but you are thinking it should be a medieval fantasy castle on a grass plain. Now you leave that painting not even half finished. In fact, you the person who ...

I honestly don't understand the "art direction"? is something being changed? or was it just an explanation about the process of art? The hydra concept looks amazing and I can't stop thinking about how good it would have been looking in RS2 HD

It is an explanation of our new approach in the art department and the aspire to make everything going forward in line with a consistent style. I'm glad you are liking the concept! More to come :)

Ignore the words and simply look at the colors of the lines. If you can't tell based on that, then read the descriptions which say exactly what they're circling. I thought it was pretty funny that they scuffed that up under the "inconsistent art" critique.

:D

Exactly right, good catch ;)
