Nostalgia...

[Zwiebelchen]

Heh, found some very old screenshots of Gaias Retaliation in its pre-alpha state.
This is how Gaias looked like when it was released and worked on for the first time several years ago.
Enjoy!

First screenshot ever made during the WIP starting island:

Before we imported custom unit models:

Before we imported B²m's tree models:

Before we remastered the whole starting island terrain much later in the design process:

Also, here is the first thread I ever created for this project on thehelper.net:

PS: Let's see if I can find any of the old pre-alpha map files just for nostalgia sake.

It is really interesting to see the "base" of gaias. Unbelievable what you made out of that

Gaias ORPG sure has come a long way :] So much hard work has been placed into this game coupled with so much passion. I think it will be interesting looking back on gaias on its release version after 1.2 and beyond and see just how far the game has come from there as well. What I've always enjoyed about Gaias is you don't settle for anything you always try to find the next best method or improvements of game mechanics. Keep up the great work!

Heh, yeah, but the boob-to-balls-ratio was too one sided (considering clerics are elfs and elfs have no balls), so I had to change the model.

the flows of magic are whimsical today

I remember playing Gaias just after it was released to Warcraft III. No Ranger or Thief class at that point. I don't even think D1 was completed yet. Max level was like 12 or 13!

I believe I joined Hiveworkshop on my b-day in 2010 (Feb 22) just for this game!
