It involved The Great Old ones (Cthulhu and company, powers from beyond who currently reside under the sea), The Outer Gods (Azathoth and company who live in distant spheres and are generally unknowable) and the Elder Gods who seem like pretty traditional gods. In the current time the Elder Gods are credited with getting rid of the GOOs and OGs to settle down and leave humanity alone. Much was lost during the whatever cataclysm, and now the people are at a roughly medieval to tudor technology level (no guns or steam engines) and the recovering from an apocalypse is used to explain any anachronisms. Surely even knowing which gods belong to which pantheons and can boss which other gods around kind of ruins the unknowable horror of the whole thing and what am I saying nerds nerds nerds

The observant among you may remember they've been saying for like 3 weeks now. But it's not a problem, everything is fine. Just fine.

This weeks devblog is, uh, I don't even know. https://www.revivalgame.com/blog/52-weekly-blog-update-51-something-spooky Not even going to bother to paste it, because it barely has anything to do with the game. Instead of game dev fanfiction it's a spooky story written in the style of Lovecraft. Dude could have written it 10 years ago, then just dropped in subtle bits like "He took me in to his home at #20 Westgate" so it is set in the game world. Too spooky.

Alexander DeLarge posted:Looks pretty nice tbh Yeah. We won't know for sure until players get ahold of it, but it certainly looks more functional than anything Star Citizen has put out. It looks easier to use and more flexible than the "moving stuff in 3d space" systems I've used in EVE or Archeage or even Sims 3. I'm cautiously optimistic. I just wish the guy in the video would learn how to make slow smooth mouse movements instead of spastically jerking the screen around when he's doing these demos. Watching full screen made me a bit nauseous.

I can't wait until I can relive my The Sims life of living in a shame cube where I pump iron, read books, poo poo, piss, and gently caress all in one room. With a servant to clean up piss from the kitchen quadrant floor obviously.

It is friday which means it is devblog time. This week, litterally talking about the weather: https://www.revivalgame.com/forum#/discussion/1047/weekly-blog-53-nice-weatherquote:Well, I suppose I should start with this bit of unwelcome news, first. The patch is not yet ready. Or rather, I should say, the patch is being readied for us to test, but that means we won’t have it out for our founders today, which I had personally hoped would be the case. After all, right now, Friday the 13th is a good day for IllFonic, as a whole and I really wanted to be able to start today’s blog by piling on more good news, but the truth is the patch for the next release of the client just isn’t quite ready. tl;dr: sorry, I kind of zoned out there. Um, weather exists, I guess? Will exist? Wants to exist?

mushroom_spore posted:Is...is that some kind of god-thing literally named "anime"? No, it's latin Animae. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anima#Latin Would be a perfectly respectable name for a game godess of life and death, if not for japanese cartoons. Anime ruins everything.

Which is probably why for the summon in FFX they called it "Anima" instead, although then it sounds pretty different. (They used other Latin in FFX too, machina)

Its REALLY easy to throw together amazing looking demos when you're using cryengine or UE4. Its REALLY HARD to actually maintain that level of quality for a full MMO. No way in gently caress can they put out an MMO that looks like that. Probably an offline demo that's single player, may not even have a running server-client architecture yet. Probably just a loving map demo. He just runs around and doesn't interact with anything. Ridiculously easy to do. Dark_Swordmaster posted:It's on UE4 now though so it may not be possible. Remember Cryengine is first and foremost a tree simulator. It'd be possible with a good art team and programmers, especially if you use speedtree; but those are not things they have, so yeah.

It is friday and that means it's time for content! No, wait, it's just the weekly devblog. This week it's a lore dump where we learn how Crown's Rock got its name. Tingling with excitement. Client update that's been ready any day now for the last month still isn't ready. https://www.revivalgame.com/blog/55-weekly-blog-54-the-alder-crownquote:Weekly Update I don't know what the second picture is, but the first picture is kind of interesting. If you bought a $200+ house with an upgradeable room, and then bought the $5 Laboratory upgrade kit for that room, that is what YOUR room would look like. Tile floor replaces the wood floor -- good for a room where you might be spilling acids, but potentially a major turn off for fans of wood floors tho.

kloa posted:is there a client to dick around in game or do i have to drop $200 to do so? No, right now the client is only for 'founders' who have dropped at least $36. We aren't missing anything though, at this point (stage 1) all the client lets you do is walk around the inside of any houses you have purchased. (Sort of like Start Citizen's hangar module, except all the house interiors exist.) The bit that has been almost ready for a month now is the furniture kits, so if you owned a house you would be able to move around the furniture in your house -- still not really compelling gameplay.

Good news wood floor fans: the update finally dropped and furniture is here. Lots of people posting pictures of their newly decorated houses. A $400 manse: https://www.revivalgame.com/forum#/discussion/1068/manse-w-upgrades-and-furniture-photos-from-new-client A gallary showing both an $80 cottage and a $200 House: http://imgur.com/a/B16Bq Everybody is all excited by NEW things at the moment, but in a few days there should be reports of how well the the decoration tool works for real people, and hopefully some hilarious bugs.
