Graphics don't look so good

**Intrepid Sidekick** · 09-06-2007, 11:12

We have programming teams dedicated to different tasks; One for Graphics, one for AI for the battles, one for AI for the campaign etc etc. Each element of the game is getting its fair share of attention.

For those that are interested in the appearance of the ships I have just seen one of our artists putting in the new stays and shrouds for one of the first rates. He assures me that the reefed sails are looking spanky too :0)

In a way it's a shame we have to show stuff that isn't finished but it's all part of the development* process, and of making you people and the rest of the world aware that we are not resting on our laurels.

I could also talk about the clouds and the rain but you might think I was a "bit odd" for finding this stuff so interesting.

* This means things are in an ongoing process of change!

Any word of progress on the campaign map?

Yet more info on GFX

You have no blummin' idea how hard it can be to just sit here and not be able to blurt out everything we are doing, or talk about how great it is, or even talk in any detail about the complications and issues we have to deal with everyday to get a game built and ready to play.

Its best I leave that stuff to our marketing chaps to announce. I will be happy to talk about the NON GFX elements of the game when they are announced.

You will see that has been done elsewhere on these and our own forums.

There will be some dev diaries being released on our forums as development continues and we will be spending more time talking about actual game features and not just what some of you think of as "eye-candy".
