Here are the first 8 of the promised new screenshots. This should give you some idea of what you can expect when you wander into the Spiritwood:









Of course you can pick up those mushrooms Smile You might need them for potions or a cooking recipe.

You can also find these on our Media page.

The site is updated too:
- Team site updated
- Ultima Webring problem fixed
- Links updated

Is Bootstrike really gone? I refuse to believe that, that's why I left the link there. Is there a new one?

Wow, these shots of Spiritwood are very intense.

One one hand, it is a beautiful place and you managed to make it look quite mysterious. One the other hand, it also screams "get out of here before you end up as a corpse!" and looks downright dangerous. Ok, it always had been a dangerous place, but now more than ever. And I guess these tree houses are the hideout of the Rangers under Shamino, after all they did retreat into Spiritwood and unlike the other forest, trying to torch it could have horrible consequences.

Btw., seeing that you updated the links... uhm, can I ask if you could add the Codex to the links?

Yeah I wanted to do that, but now that I actually came around to update the links I forgot Wink It's done now.

Wow! Really gorgeous screenshots! They resemble illustrations from a children's storybook which is pretty much how I have always pictured Brittania as looking -- somewhere between fantasy and reality.
Thanks for sharing these. Be sure to flash these over to Aiera.

Proves once again that without gorgeous artwork and world-building any advancements in game engines is little worth. This looks way better than most of the cookie-cutter games released in the past years. Thumbs up!

Why are they raw bitmaps? JPEGs are much quicker loading.

Well, we haven't had much news of late as I suspect that D.H. is suffering from the distractions of work and life, but this lot certainly makes up for it and shows that the Titans remain on course.

Try XYZZY - it might work!

You can save as PNG instead. The file size will be much, much, much smaller and the quality stays perfect.

Smile I apprechiate the tip, but I swear to god that it was intentional and not a result of my lack of knowledge of how to save or convert a screenshot in another format. I even have proof! The tons of screenshots I uploaded in the last few years Big Grin

Those shots are from the ones I sent to PC GAMES since they even requested bmp.

But if anyone posts now how I can easily convert bmp to jpg I will have a talk with the guardian to see if he can do some dirty work for me Wink

Anyway, the next screenshots will be from Minoc, so far you only saw it in the background of a Kristy shot.

And really, JPEGS with quality around 85 aren't that bad.
