KoD Preview: Backgrounds
Added 2017-03-11 17:48:40 +0000 UTCAs we've mentioned, we're splitting our time between the meat of the game and the various elements that support the main content. Today we're going to talk about a necessary component of any game: backgrounds.
Though they're not the focus (by definition!), backgrounds are still a key part of the game's experience. Most of you have probably played a game where the backgrounds are cheap 3D, or don't fit the game, or don't change enough to match the plot. That's a distraction we didn't want for KoD, so we've gone with custom backgrounds.
We didn't want to spend an enormous amount of time on this, however, which is why most of the orc camp locations use variants on the main camp. You've seen these in some previous screenshots - this is our solution for a system that looks good without being too work-intensive.
Sometimes, though, you definitely need a custom background. For this first release, a lot of the events take place in forests. You can see the forest Nomo drew above - this and variants will serve as our forest background for the entire game, so it's another part of the foundation we're laying.
Another advantage of doing our own backgrounds is that when we need a unique background for a special part of the story, we can just create it:

2017-03-28 23:13:57 +0000 UTCI can't believe it myself how much I look forward for you guys' stuff, keep the great work and take your time!
2017-03-28 23:12:06 +0000 UTCCool, but the question was more oriented towards the inclusion of weres period (were bears, were cats, so on and so forth) but sounds like they won't be in at all which is fine, I was just curious since I could see the main princess enjoying a bit of primal sex with a were.

2017-03-28 22:50:35 +0000 UTCHow big are Were's going to be in the game, as well as what kind? Because the default were is usually the werewolf and to be honest that's so overdone that it isn't funny, seeing some unique or different were's would probably add to the feeling of the game's being set in a world of it's own.
