Announcement: Landscape Complete!

The entirety of the exterior of the island is now complete!  It is entirely hand-crafted and took 7 months of effort but it was definitely worth it.  It still needs a little tweaking here and there, the LOD needs generating and I want to customise the weather a little bit more and I intend to hold another internal alpha test session.  But it is otherwise fully traversible and playable.

I am still on the lookout for interior level designers, modellers and texturers so if you like the look of the project you can get in touch over at the mod forums on Dark Creations:

Creature: Rieklings

Riekling Camp - Gremja

Rieklings are semi intelligent goblinoids that infest much of the northern reaches of the island.  Their encampments are well fortified, often found lying in hidden nooks and crevices of the Felsaad Coast and the Moesring Mountains.  Fiercely territorial they are known to attack strangers on sight.

Concept Art: Stalhrim Dagger

by Alfred Khamidullin

This concept of the Stalhrim Dagger was kindly drawn by Alfred Khamidullin.  I'm still on the lookout  for skilled modellers and texture artists to help realise some of the weapon/armour/creature ideas - so if the project interests you, you can offer to help at the project forums located here: http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/forum/186-solstheim-4e/

In other news, Kalian, one of the Alpha landscape testers was generous enough to put together a short video trailer demonstrating some of the locations and landscape all ready completed, you can view the video here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAxwb3AICpk

A big thank you to Alfred and Kalian for their support.

Location: Indala

Indala

At the top of a waterfall on the Iggnir River live the woodcutters of Indala.  As the only still-active logging camp on Solstheim this village is important for supplying the native Dunmer population with lumber for building and crafting.

Region: Felsaad Coast

Felsaad Coast

The Felsaad Coast was once used to refer to the entire rocky, eastern coastline of the island.  Now however it refers to just the north-eastern part.  It is in this region that the Skaal and Thirsk tribes make their home.  But it is not just the local nords that dwell here, the awkward terrain and jagged peaks hide dens of vicious Rieklings, a tough and hardy goblin-like race.

I would like to thank everyone who helped out with my recent landscape test! A number of visual and pathfinding bugs were squished, so thank you to all involved :).
