I especially like that first screenshot with the trees.
One thing I was hoping for was an animated avatar for Gunthro (as Tendry in TT doesn't have one *sob*), and looking at the different screenshots it's fairly obvious that at least Gunthro's eyes move, so that's cool. :thumbup2:

It does sort of offend my sensibilities that Gunthro's avatar apparently shows his sword sheathed even when he's wielding it.

Yeah, me too. Hadn't noticed that.

Sorry, there is nothing material added for pre-ordering, so you are welcome to wait until the game is actually released if you like in order to buy it. But, registering a pre-order will make it so you can download the game on the forum the moment it's released, or maybe even a bit earlier. And you get a free month of CaravelNet to boot, that you can start using right away. However, there will also be a nice bonus for anyone that buys the game for the foreseeable future that will include more than simply receiving the full game. We'll reveal more about that later this month.

Yes, Gunthro will and does have a full set of animations, just like Beethro! Erik did some great work there.

That being said, I do realize pictures showing people with really big swords do tend to sort of offend one's sensibilities. Everything we do is flawlessly consistent!



...

Oh...and a beta tester just mastered the hold. They had good things to say about the game. Time to up the progress on the bar, I guess ;)

Gunthro's shirt sure is unshaded. Also my lord he is a sad-looking short fellow. Not at all what you'd think from his name. Maybe he'll grow on me as I play.

Gunthro is an ugly, hunched over little man who you'd rather just goes off and cleans your basement rather than disturb you at mealtime.

Unlike Beethro, whom even kings love to have over for dinner. Right? Right. That apple was positively flung away from the tree.

Beethro does seem to be taller, though. I wonder what happened? Is it just a false impression I have?

It's evolution at work. Like the type depicted on one of Danforth's sell screens in JtRH.

Looks good

Indeed. The only thing that bothers me is the change of font in the DROD logo (and the hard to read "Gunthro and the Epic Blunder"). Why was that? :(

Apart from that, 120% hyped. Also about the preorder. I don't recall TCB or JtRH being preorderable, but it might be that my memory is failing.

Also, screenshots!

EDIT: The preorder page makes me chose between Windows and Linux versions... Does it make any difference which one I pick? I'll be playing it on a Mac, so... :S

That's just his backup sword. Obviously.

You can pre-order any version, and after you register, you can download whichever OS you want when they show up on the forum Downloads page.

That being said, we have yet to make an official Mac build, which is why I don't have Mac support officially listed there yet. Please send your good karma our way that we'll be able to handle the Mac version in a timely manner.

but it is not what the second hint refers to.
The hint relates to something far more known (and from someone much more recognized around here).

But from your second statment, I seem to understand that you already got both images. Is that so?

I've "found" both images, but I still don't know which post the second one is attached to. I was considering your posts based on your name (due to TripleM's hint)

No. It is a tautology. (Those are a bit different.)

Vacuously true statements would be:

"All the Really Big Swords I am holding right now are not Really Big Swords." This seems contradictory, but is vacuously true if there are no RBS in my hands to test the condition.

"If a Really Big Sword is a useless weapon, then zero equals one." Again, this seems contradictory, but it is vacuously true if the precondition is false, because there can be no counterexample.
Ah, yes, you're right. Good catch.

okay so i guess if i hadn't randomly checked this thread i wouldn't know i could preorder the game

i am starting to become increasingly enthralled with Caravel's reverse-psychology marketing tactics

also I really hope that isn't gunthro's final portrait because outside of the face that looks terrible.

Shame most of the comments are criticisms of the artwork - I'd not expected that to be the initial response to this release.

But anyway, what people haven't commented on is the fact that these pictures actually show, I think, 5 new features of the game (excluding the fact that it's Gunthro as the main character).

I think these are the five features (secreted if you want to find them yourself).

But is there any reason for the change of font in "DROD"?
It does not look flawlessly consistant...

Hrm. Yeah, the more I look at the Gunthro portrait the less I like it. I think it's the sword and the face outline both looking like quick mouse traces with a pencil tool.

This - compared to the "DROD" type in the older cover images the new one just screams "made in Photoshop with too many layer effects and gradients tacked on" at me, while the other was simple and clean and got the job done quite efficiently... :?

To me, the problem with the Gunthro portrait is that his shirt is a solid orange block. I like the face.
