Keychain and W0rf0x’s Blog

With the recent announcement for Obsidian Conflict 1.35, i set myself a deadline for broken_escape_2b/c, even though im really not a friend of deadlines.

The maps are getting close to being finished, though theres still some stuff to do, like finishing up/ redoing some areas, entity work, NPC Scripting etc.

The reason theres 2 new maps coming instead of 1 like planned (3 if you count part2a in too, which is already released) is that i found part2b a bit repetitive and short the way it was, so i thought about some other objective the players have to do before they can continue on their main objective to spice things up, which started up as one new huge area first where the objective was in. After thinking about how to connect that new area to the current rest of the base, i added more and more areas (which made the connection to the rest of the base) and added more stuff so it wouldnt fit into one map anymore, part2b is already very high on both ent- and brush data so i had to make it a separate map, which basically takes you even deeper into the combine base.

So the maps will later play like that:

Part2b (do main objectives) –> Part2c (do sub objective to continue on your main objectives) –> Part2b (finish main objectives)

Broken escape2b/c will also feature a player-allied NPC which will guide the players through the objectives, tell them what to do etc. I really needed some good way to guide the players around the base and tell them what to do and why, but couldnt come up with anything but the lame text-messages that come out of nowhere for no apparent reason until keychain came up with an awesome idea, so big thanks to you, Key!

Im pretty sure i get these 2 done before the 1.35 release (No release date yet) because of how far progress already is.

I dont want to leave you only with text, so here is one screenshot of part2c, only one because i want to keep the new areas more of a surprise, i normally take screenshots of most areas and post them in the wip threads, which kinda takes that effect away.

(Note its still WIP.)

On a side note, i have made new signature banners for me and my baby that we both use on the oc forums.

(Click for fullsize)

The pictures i chosen to make the banners are again related to us, they are our new fan characters which we represent ourselves with, you see our character once in the middle, and on the left side with a “glow” around it, toradora fans will also understand what the difference in the toradora logo means.

The banner is made out of  4 different pictures, the picture where they hold each other, the kissing scene, the toradora logo and the unique character in the middle, since im pretty unexperienced in photoshop and do all my stuff by “trial and error”,  I’m kinda proud of how they turned out!
