Maybe you can bring agents back from the dead somehow? Or at least as some of the old ones.

 Mod tools released. Just a basic package so far without the map creation stuff, so you can't place PoI's and play around with that but you can do everything else, including creating the PoI's themselves. Also here's a nice little piece to show off some of the new portraits.  Edit: gently caress nevermind, it's just an asset viewer  Can't actually create stuff yet. But it's something! I'm trawling through the assets and it's so pretty

Yuh-oh, some of those things are not original. E: Though honestly, the ones that I'm recognizing from elsewhere (and able to find), the people who made them probably don't give a gently caress.

I mean I should probably be ashamed for recognizing any of it (which I do nine of them), so hey. It's basically all stuff from third party PnP books, so it's not like anyone is going to get litigious over it.

The place I recognized the Ibliss from also has a text-less copy, so I assume it's a scan from inside the book in question. And yeah, a lot of that stuff looks better than what they had, but also $15 Deviantart commissions level stuff.

Have the devs gotten this modding tools business out of their system, or can we expect the next videos being about map resources instead of gameplay?

Asked about the book cover stuff:Josh posted:Those are from the Cerberus collection - they're a "goto" for publisher stock art. We have no plan to replace stock icons with custom art - there's absolutely no way we could have the variety of assets we have without dipping liberally into what sources are available, and stock art is a great way to get quality art cheap.

Well I dunno about quality, but it's better than the MSPaint stuff they had before, and the provenance isn't actually important so long as they don't get in trouble for it. Roll on beta.

Yeah...it's basically just a few more assets and nothing else. Yeah, you can make minions and tags but without anything to compare it is useless.

So, okay, let me get this straight. First they made the game. Then they constructed mod tools, with which they then proceeded to recreate the game (because  ), only the mod tools aren't even complete yet?This seems all a bit arse about tit to me.

This means there won't be any traits/tags/skills already in the editor, and some things may not respond properly without the core file being present. It's safe to ignore it and just move along with what you are working on as you can always return to what is causing the problem (I noticed skills and traits don't work for Minions, for instance). It seems to be due to the Core stuff being reworked rather than incomplete mod tools being used to create the game.

Also that they are treating kickstarter backers like they are shareholders and working on the things the vocal people want. Fine with me, I've had my fill of unfinished early release games.

I'm pretty excited for this game, and it doesn't help that I'm currently re-reading the Black Company books (which heavily feature an ancient evil re-awakening and manipulating the world to try to get released from its prison). I backed it on KS because the pitch was great, and the snippets of design they are showing hypes me more every time, but it does all seem to hinge on them making a decent AI so I hope it works out.

Sekenr posted:Well, my biggest problem is lack of some sort of distinct style. I guess I want everything to look a little more "eldritchy" but everything is generic as gently caress. Not to bitch too much about the art, but yeah. IT looks photoshoped. That's bad. It should be more stylized or even painterly? That, or textured (but not 90s style if you get my drift). Like, yes, it's all photoshoped, but the cartographers guild? http://www.cartographersguild.com/content.php They have good stuff. I say, have your artist take inspiration from this site's top works. Right now, it looks like a photoshop render. Which pains me, because that's "easy" to fix, but hard to do. I just feel like... You're going for cthulu. Why does the map look so artificial? Why does it look bland and plain? I'm not saying it needs to be medieval, but if you'r setting IS about that era, then go with it! Be inspired by it! The maps should be loaded with style and character. Right now it feels like 2000's era map making in photoshop. Nice, but lacking that certain...zing! Honestly, it looks like someone followed a tutorial even though I know and understand it took a lot of effort to do this. Like, it looks okay, just artificial. The artificial is what's bad. This is not your game. The aesthetic should be more ...detailed, I guess. I can also just shut up, because I 'm drunk as hell. But that's just my opinion. Please mind you, I like this game and am interested in it~! Sober Edit: VVV Haha, I don't know what I was thinking but that made me laugh!

There was some talk about different style maps for the custom scenarios. You can also import your own maps to overlay into the hex grid, hell you could scan your five year olds doodle and call it a map in this game. I believe the current map generator is tuned towards the procedural generation and endless game modes. Here's an example of a custom map for the North Burns scenario they released a while back.
