Hello folks, The Baron here with a little sneak peek at some of those U7 goodies I alluded to before. ːsteamhappyː
KospY has been super off the radar as of late because he is working hard on getting U7 finished and he is aiming to do so before Sept 12th. I had mentioned that U7 is largely gonna be a small update consisting of just the SDK Maps (custom map support) but with some possibility for goodies. Well here is a peek at what KospY has been cooking up in secret with his new character designer: The beginnings of a full revamp of B&S character models to make them better, crisper and all around shinier.

The images above are not to be mistaken for "The Armour Update" which will hopefully be arriving in U9 (ie where player and NPCs can equip armour pieces) but instead these are the "base" character, when he wears no armour. So for example, this character could not parry with his bracer like he could in the armour update.
Right now this upgrade is only the player character, but the hope is by U8 / U9 all models will get an upgrade, including revamped NPCs from scratch! That is, an endgoal of new 3d models, new skins/textures, new faces, new hairs / beard, etc...). A huge overhaul that should move the game toward something more professional, with art direction that makes the game look more original and fantasy / badass. Super exciting for a "bonus" addition. ;)
Cheers!
