Just another sneak peak at some of the new graphics that are coming in the next version.

I spent a lot of time the last couple of days messing around with the 2D graphics engine and in the process built a few tools that make it easier for me to create new assets and of course, rendered avatars from the engine like the ones in the screenshots above.

One of the things that people have probably noticed since the implementation of the graphics is that a lot of the clothing and items that your avatar could wear were either missing unique graphics, or were, frankly, rather underwhelming. That's something that I'm going to continue to fix in the next, and future, releases by refining systems, adding new 2D assets (Clothing, accessories, etc) and adding more textures. For instance, let's look at the starting avatar between version 0,9 and the new version 0.11

Yeah, I know, it's almost laughable how bad my first crack at this was. Still, I'm not an artist, but I'm doing my best to skill up so that I can provide a better game for my Patrons. I'm serious about that - the support you guys are showing me is directly responsible for this and other improvements that have been happening recently.

Next up on my agenda is refining a couple of existing assets (Boots for instance need some more work), and then creating a few missing pieces of clothing and finally finishing off the content additions that are heading towards the Mutiny storyline. I'm hoping to be able to wrap it all up and have a test release for all my Patrons ready by the end of this month.

Cheers,

Mal
