Age of Conan is coming out soon, isn't it? I'm going to give it a bit of a try.
For those concerned about me going the way of RPG advocate; don't be. I finished Demon Legacy whilst playing wow; so I'm a recluse by nature with far too much free time on my hands.
But enough rambling, take a look at my new avatar. Drawn , inked, and colored by my brother. There will be a few more drawings used for the intro that I will keep under wraps until the next demo is released; but expect to see a comic book art style for the semi animated intro sequence.
I was inspired by a trip down memory lane to improve the intro, yes it was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmIbCNSsLqk that opened my eyes. Worry not, I wont be ripping off the introduction scene: if I do; feel free to thoroughly shout me down.
As far as the first dungeon is concerned, I managed to squeeze in an extra puzzle and I'm working on the dungeon's boss grand entrance.
An observation: Pasting a big monster sprite into a bunch of small Rm2k3 sized squares is a pain in the ass. Pasting a big monster's sprite and getting him to walk forward is akin to slamming one's face into a grill. But it will be worth it.
