Bikerdude Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thief 2 is the first on my wish list next year! I decided to over come my fears of visuals in this game since you all show so many pictures from it. ( and since I use steam...)Not all missions though are upto this level of visual quality.

Tels Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Have you guys seen this article from Demagogue: http://wiki.thedarkm...and_Plot_Design Now this is some serious inspiration, and food for thought. That article might need some serious summarizing. I am pretty sure it is very good, but I don't think I can muster the strength to read it all and follow it A few images might help tremendously making the material accessible.

RPGista Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nah, this is about writting, if you don't like to read, you don't like to writte, that's kind of how I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerdude Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I hate it when I post stuff just before it tips over to the next page, so the post I made is hidden etc... Spotted Skacky cranking out some cracking visuals on T2.... Man we could do with this guy making some TDM mission's for us. (he did have a brief flurry with the Whiterose hotel that Springs is now working on), but man I love city missions like this. That said these shots are from a T2 mission in beta atm and should be released very soon ;-D Or how about these ones from Purgator... or some from Soul tear...

demagogue Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Have you guys seen this article from Demagogue:...Now this is some serious inspiration, and food for thought. Thanks. I like to write on it every so often, and it still has incomplete sections. I feel happy writing & thinking about it. I did think about making a (separate) summary version too when I finish, but I wanted to figure out everything I needed to say to know what to boil down. And yes, I did have some ideas for some graphical aids, simple plot diagrams, & screenshots of ideas taken from FMs too. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light?

AngelWolf Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's what has been inspiring me lately using Google Images: Bath, England: San Gimignano, Italy: And finally Cologne Cathedral in Germany: Quote Taurus philosophy:Give me a hammer and tell me I have 6 hours to break up a 2 inch thick layer of ice. As soon as you walk away I'm going to use some hot water and salt so I can take a nap for the remaining 5 and a half hours. Taureans hate wasting energy and if there's a more efficient way to do something they will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelWolf Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hey, it looks like they modeled that Italian town after the one in Assassin's Creed! I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it. I stumbled across it when I searched for "medieval skyscrapers". The towns nickname is the Medieval Manhattan.

RPGista Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) So I was rewatching The Crucible yesterday and thought some of the interior shots were quite well captured, and even though it's a slightly simplified set design, it is still very interesting to see how they organized the spaces, and specially the structural layout of the buildings, the color palette and the proportions: Some more interiors: Edited September 26, 2012 by RPGista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
