[Campaign] Tales of the Scarlet Crusade

[Heinvers]

Ahem. Back to the thread. Later this night maybe I or Chaosy will post some screenshots from the 4th chapter of the campaign. I hope you will discuss it Regards from me XD

 

[Lockheart]

F*ck it, after reading the description I was already planning to play this tonight. (Especially since I love the scarlet crusade!)
But then I started to realize that there's no demo yet.

Once it's out I'll give it a try and tell you my opinion... so better hurry up. I'm waiting.
This project seems to be interesting. However, you should add some game play screenshots, too.

Update

A WIP terrain from chapter 4

REVEAL

It's still WIP, sadly i cannot show u more for now. Still needs details though.
It's a park in a city, for those who may ask!

 

[Chen]

Great terrain friend!

 

[Shadow Fury]

Great terrain! Keep up the great job!

 

[Binsu]

It looks fine though I would suggest giving more details on the upper terrain part of the screenshot for it looks empty (I know that you'll handle this out.). It would be much suggested also if you are to add structure in there such as statues, benches and such for that's how a park looks like.

Anyway park in a medieval campaign? Does that sound too weird?

@Heivners

Really love the big improvements from your older terrain to this one.

Only one request of mine is that You and Chaosy should provide in-game camera view screenshots so we can see it on its real action cuz the custom camera view made some of the, imo a very consistent terrain, look shit.

Love to give feedback about the gameplay but its description is very vague atm.

Anyway keep it up.

Anyway park in a medieval campaign? Does that sound too weird?

Not really.

 

[Chaosy]

To me the parks look kinda "wild" if you know what I mean.

also why would a park be weird if it's in a city?

and for ingame pictures, I might upload some of those when the terrain over there is finished.

 

[Edge45]

Whooo,......
amazing,
By the way, were is this anyway
Tyr's Hand?

 

[tobyfat50]

You are doing well with the terrain. I do suggest you use some larger rocks here and there for the chapter 4 WIP! Not much to say, I'll wait for a finished terrain since this is just a wip.

 

[Justicebringer]

I'M A FAN OF THE SCARLET CRUSADE!
Good luck with the project dude!

 

[Chaosy]

Thanks for the support everyone, the progress the last days has not been extremely huge but we are still working on it.

 

[Shadow Fury]

I wonder who is the guy that voted "worst thing ever"

 

[Chaosy]

I don't care to be honest, either I consider him a idiot or a troll.

 

[Tickles]

Well there will always be people who try to downrate things regardless of how good they actually are. You don't need a poll to see the potential of this campaign. In fact, that option shouldn't even be there

On a lighter note, this is by far the best collection of enchanting fantasy music I've come across with so much variety and emotion in the melodies. I think a lot of the songs would go perfectly with the quality of the terrain in your campaign. If you want any of them formatted and looped as MP3s, I'd be happy to send them to you.

 

[Chaosy]

I am subscribed to him allready. I am currently only using masic of him and another youtube channel.

 

[Amargaard]

I just noticed this project, and I must say it looks promising from my angle, so hope you won't mind me sitting here and watching the progress with my cup of coffee - Kudos to the whole team!

 

[Lockheart]

I like the wip, the peolpe have spoken, there's nothing to add. Keep up the great work.

 

[youness]

Which time you will upload it.

 

[Heinvers]

City hall area - WIP

I finally managed to put up some things together in chapter 4. It's a lot of work. But here's a picture for you

REVEAL

And please don't complain about flat terrain) Just joking.

 

[Footman16]

The terrain is a bit flat.

 

[Chaosy]

should there be hills in a city?

not saying youre wrong or anything somehow I just thought it was funny.

 

[Footman16]

Well if the city is built on a hill, no city is actually flat.

 

[Heinvers]

I know Footman16, but that's only a part of the city! damn those "flat" comments))

 

[Tickles]

Hmm... It's too flat. Kidding

The streets and overall environment looks really nice and relaxing. The shape of the center building is also awesome, but the balcony looks like it would clip a bit with overlapping stone floors. Maybe you can get some simple custom-fit models for the curves. Even just an alternate skin with alpha in the areas you want cut could work.

My favorite part is the water running through the city. It's a great way to divide the city up into districts if you guys are including market, residential and industrial-type areas.

 

[Heinvers]

Flaaatttt where))))))))
Anyway thanks I was too tired then; I just improvised and went to sleep after that post.

 

[tobyfat50]

The city, Nicely done! Can't wait to see the rest of it.

 

[Edge45]

Is this Hearthglen, because hearthglen is in a hill
but anyway, since that is the half of the city, it could be that "flat" (i think)
Still, looks nice...XD

 

[Binsu]

Agreed on what most comments says. Terrain is quite realistic and good but it is too empty and flat. I know that using the terrain tool such as Raise/Lower will ruin it but I suggest using elevated levels and ramps (try basing a little your terrain on Gaias' Retaliation's great city there, you'll know what I mean). Would also be great that if there are parts in the town that it if filled with grass, not just filled with city tiles and such. The city also needs much more structure instead of boxes, crates, trees, buildings and houses.

Possible improvements also is place mini houses around this major buildings to make some more structures seeing that we are limited on some medieval structures in here.

Overall, good luck on this!

 

[Heinvers]

Thank u all for the feedback. Chaosy and I appreciate your interest on this! Maybe this evening I'll post another WIP screenshot for this chapter.

 

[XxDaiasxX]

Where can i download i want to play

 

[Shadow Fury]

It would be really awesome if you post some more screenshots

 

[Chaosy]

@Dias
There is no download right now. The campaign is too unbalanced at the moment, also I think a public release of the campaign should be more than 3 chapters.

@shadow
I will only upload pictures of "finished" products to the main thread. However I am informed that more WIP pictures will be posted soon enough.

 

[Heinvers]

I apologize for talking so long to show u some pictures, but the work on it is immense

 

[Shadow Fury]

No problem, take your time. Better late than never, right?

 

[Heinvers]

Update

Sorry for the delay. Here a WIP terrain of one of the housing areas of the city.

REVEAL

 

[Shadow Fury]

Fantastic as usual. I'd suggest adding more vegetation. I mean more bushes and maybe also some trees in the city, it might look greater.

 

[DZerpic]

Fantastic as usual. I'd suggest adding more vegetation. I mean more bushes and maybe also some trees in the city, it might look greater.

I seconda that!

I think adding a small pond in that park would add a lot more variety. I'd replace the rocks with that, there's enough grey already.
And it lacks lighting effects: The alleys should be darker.

Just some friendly suggestions. Keep it up!

 

[Edge45]

Amazing, though I do agree with DZerpic, needs a small pond since its there's enough grey, but looks good XD

 

[Razosh]

Sorry for the delay. Here a WIP terrain of one of the housing areas of the city.

REVEAL

Truly great looks a lot better than the early alpha you showed me other than what has already been said I can't think of much that would improve it other than adding some villagers since the streets look really empty.

 

[tobyfat50]

You are getting lots of advice, means you have lots of attention, lucky you! Here is my suggestion for inspiration. Browse on this game for city levels! DKS

 

[andreariona]

great work my friend! does those building with blacksmith sign (and another sign with vague text) is enterable or something?
also I think it wouldn't be necessary to having a street lamp on each edge. lol

 

[Heinvers]

Yes you're right about the lamps Some of the buildings are enterable. For that I'm still working on the interiors

 

[Forsaken]

Indeed, a good terrain, good job Heinvers xD
But, Chaosy, please, you should upload gameplay/cinematic screenshot as well!, for us see your work, cause just for now, we just see Heinvers' terrain! (Just an advice, don't wanna be rude)

 

[Chaosy]

I am aware of that Forsaken, but I have not touched the map in like two weeks so that's why those doesnt exist currently.

Once I get it back I will be able to upload those. And why would that be rude? its the truth, there are not gameplay pictures.

 

[Duke]

The problem with high res terrain is that most of models don't really fit into it. I am looking forward to see how it turns out for you.

 

[Heinvers]

On the contrary the latest WIP's I posted use fitting models imo.
As for updates I'll see what I can do.

 

[Veritas 117]

I agree, I think the high res models all work very well together. The hard part is getting the unit models to fit with the high res doodads. I would suggest some of 67chrome's skins, they have a higher quality feel to them. High quality doesn't have to be high poly models, the important thing is the texture in my opinion.

 

[Duke]

The hard part is getting the unit models to fit with the high res doodads.

Yeah that's what I meant. Terrain itself looks very nice.

 

[IamFootman061]

I hope I can play this campaign now because this is really nice.
