Round Table of Arkain

[Kasrkin]

Shar gave me the honor of announcing this:

Official release of Legends of Arkain - First Orc Book

Any and all complaints about difficulty can be probably attributed to me. I do hope all of you enjoy yourselves.

 

[Chaosy]

Will play it, but I wont do a full review unless I feel a lot has changed since my last one.

 

[Yrk]

Whats the next Book?

 

[DD Mikasa]

Whats the next Book?

The undead one.

 

[Yrk]

The undead one.

Oh, I cant wait.

 

[DD Mikasa]

Oh, I cant wait.

Must be you're lucky day
Shar said that he will post info about the Undead book soon

 

[Shar Dundred]

The first post has been updated with some information about the First Undead Book.

Enjoy!

[Theoden of KoMe]

6 months have passed since you added this and you have completed 2 books already!!
I really can't wait for the undead book.I bet all i have that the undead will conquer the land of arkain ( I'm with theoden btw )

 

[Daffa]

Well, played a few chapter of human book and must say it's amazing and surprisingly has multiple choices at unexpected moments. I was shocked when suddenly an option that affects the mission appears right in front of my eyes.

Also, the first few human chapters are pretty good in gameplay and story, though the terrain feels off a little, and I feel General Blen spells pretty boring compared to the rest of the human heroes, but it's just me.

Anyway, great job and I can't wait for the Undead Book, as well as playing the Orc Book as soon as I'm done with the Human Book.

Shar should be you're inspiration
Sinc you have the "bad" habbit of leaving you're campings on half

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Bad habbit you say huh....welll when you work solo on a project and have too much on your head to deal with its pretty hard to focus on one thing.Atm i have to worry about :Univercity,gf,elections and my project cause there are 3 i work with at the same time....

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report
The planning phase of the First Undead Book is over. There will be ten chapters and two interludes.

Also, I introduce to you the fifth main character:

Hidden

Krom the Immortal Krom was among the first to serve Aridon. It's unknown who or what he was before, but now he serves as Aridon's merciless executor who kills everyone his master wishes to see dead. Krom can shoot better than any other living or dead creature and never misses his target. He doesn't care much for the fate of the other races, but is happy when he gets to kill someone. Still, Krom is no brainless brute, he has a cruel and cunning personality. He might prefer the forceful solution, but he often makes a malicious plan to make it most effective.

 

[kakuzu]

Awesome Shar , the undead book is next !

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report
Working on Chapter One right now. The story of the Undead will be interesting, I can assure you.
When I'm not working on the Undead Book, I'm already planning some nice stuff for the Second Books. Also planning to add a little special something that's already been hinted in one map of the other books. But I'm not going to tell you which one.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Can't wait for Drow book :3

 

[Shar Dundred]

Can't wait for Drow book :3

Sorry, MechMan, but I can assure you that something like that will NEVER happen. :3

 

[Mechanical Man]

Damn, you tricked me!

 

[Kasrkin]

Already working on Chapter One?

Well then, it's time to start worshiping the Grand Pappy of Death.

[Chaosy]

Mommy is that you?

 

[istvan921]

No it's Nurgle from Warhammer.

 

[MogulKahn]

There is one thing I don't understand. We destroyed Orc's in Human Book, but in Orc Book, orcs killed admiral... Can you explain it to me, please?

 

[DD Mikasa]

Shar said something like this orc book is not a direct sequel to the human book but an alternate storyline happening in the same timeline as the human book
Hope i helped.

 

[MogulKahn]

Then that is stupid, it id ruining whole flavor of these books, I am really dissapointed... Thans

You have to complain to Shar about that...But i dont see any problem with it.The campings are High quality story wise and gameplay wise.That is just a small miss flaw that dosen't affect the campings quality at all.

 

[Shar Dundred]

I don't see any reason to call this stupid.
The Second Human Book is the sequel of the First Human Book while the Orc and Undead Books tell other storylines. Some events are the same in all books while others are completely or partially different.

 

[DD Mikasa]

To break it down into a more simple way.
Each book tells how the story gose when the protagonist race wins the war...I guess.

 

[Daffa]

For me, the different stories does make confusions of characters actual fate, since they differs. I hope a "True Legends of Arkain Book" also available with all compilation of chapters that is the canon story of Arkain.

Though for me, the different stories make it cool and very interesting, but an actual canon story won't hurt, a multi perspective campaign which shows the true plot, without any of the "options" that influences chapters, just the real plot.

Well, in that case you'll be glad to hear that I planned one book series to be the canon one - I already know which one but I won't comment on this matter until all nine books are done - and I also wanted to post it here once this day has come.

TOP SECRET INFORMATION

Spoiler

There's still a SLIGHT chance that we won't be done with the world of Arkain after I completed the series, but no promises. It depends on what I want to do afterwards. So don't count on it too much.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report:
Half of Chapter One is done. I'm going to release the demo once the first three chapters (the so-called "Secure Chapters") are done. I also edited some existing units a bit.

 

[Yrk]

Great, Shar, I cant wait for the Undead Book.

 

[Kasrkin]

Listen up youz gakking grots, de first necron chapter haz been completed by our weird boyz....

*COUGHS*

Progress Report:

The first undead chapter has been completed.

 

[Deleted member 238589]

Fast, as usual. Any screenies?

 

[Kasrkin]

None as of now.

Expect screenshots soon. (TM)

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

Looking forward to see them screen-shots. Also I respect the two of you for making the whole campaign series actually focus more on the story-line rather than the beauty of terrain itself. Props for that, as campaigns were meant to be story-telling and not showrooms in the first place.

Keep up the good work, much support.

 

[Shar Dundred]

@Witch-King: Thanks, I won't stop working on this until it's completely finished.


Progress report
I've added some screens from Chapter One to the first post and also changed the version Karskin tested. Now, I'll continue with Chapters Two and Three.

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

@Witch-King: Thanks, I won't stop working on this until it's completely finished.

Really happy to hear that, mate. Looking forward to play a demo version, just like you released for the Orcs campaign. On the other note, I must say that your campaign series are really close, when it comes to giving massive amounts of inspiration to people, to the Mathias Chronicles. I have personally always been a fan of lengthy series, in this case campaigns with fictional and unique stuff.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report
Chater Two needs some Object Editor work and will most likely take a bit longer. Also, I'm a bit busy at the moment but still working on it because I really enjoy doing this. There's no day without process. After the release of the first three chapters, I'll perhaps take a little break, however.

 

[Kasrkin]

Take a break after the three are done, you stubborn bastard.

 

[Chaosy]

Screw breaks, I want to see the undead lore.

I mean, your *cough* wellbeing is very important!

 

[Shar Dundred]

Take a break after the three are done, you stubborn bastard.

Hmm......

Screw breaks, I want to see the undead lore.

Okay, definitely going to take a break.

 

[CY The UnGodly]

I really love this campaign seriously... though the difficulty sometimes is a pain in the a$$ but I manage to get through (no cheats I swear... )but as much as I love playing the humans orcs and the undead... I kinda feel like I want to play as NE here ( just my opinion and you changed the NE to Demons right?)..... also looking forward to the first unead book and the second human book .... really want to see what happens next after the battle between Gardon and Genethas.... and also will you guys make a demon book?

Well you do have the elfs into human camping.Even tho they only get 2 chapters.Sinc Shar said that Gardon will get a more central role into the next human book maybe we get to see more elf action.Who knows.

Night Elves are not even similar to High Elves..

 

[DD Mikasa]

Night Elves are not even similar to High Elves..

I know that.But this is as close as i gets.Arkain world it isent Azeroth.Shar said it himself.Maybe there is no NE race in arkain.

 

[Shar Dundred]

It's very unlikely that the Night Elves will be a part of Arkain.

Also, it'unlikely that I'll create a Demon Book at the moment.

And no, the Elves are no High Elves, no Wood Elves, no Highborne etc. They're just Elves

 

[Mechanical Man]

Also, it'unlikely that I'll create a Demon Book at the moment.

More unlikely than Drow book?

 

[Heinvers]

Rearguard at yer' service sire! The Drow shall cry for justice and inclusion into the world of Arkain.

 

[Shar Dundred]

If you insist:
A Drow Book is even more unlikely than BOTH a Demon AND a Nightelf Book -and they are VERY unlikely.

 

[Mechanical Man]

But Nightelfs are in Arkain?
