The Re-Tool

Mike — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 11:35:38 +0000

We all know that BioWare has announced a new expansion for Dragon Age: Origins and we already understand that our expansion will be stepping on the toes of the official expansion. After one of the lead devs said:

QUOTE:
“We will not be releasing any content that proceeds the Origins story line. Anything past the “end-game” is not within the cannon; “You ended the Dragon Age and a new age came about”.“

Because of this we are forced to re-tool some of our efforts that have already been made, from the ground up on the story board. Thankfully some of the content we have created can be salvaged and re-used.

We will keep everyone posted as we re-work out some of our story lines and quest-cannon.

Concept Finishing Up

Mike — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:26:59 +0000

Our concept compliation is nearly finished. We are still designing the landscapes in the toolset and adding characters however the concepts of the areas, monsters, and characters are nearing completion. The canon of the project has already been developed with some loose ends to tie up here and there but we are happy to announce that the project is in FULL DEVELOPMENT stages.

What does this mean? This basically details to everyone that we, still being behind in man-power, are ahead of the curve and release date of late February. Affinity has been the main person getting our content pumping in the toolset itself and has been doing an excellent job. We do have various kinks and “road-blocks” to work through right this minute, but the dev-team and leaders remain optimistic that the project will be release, even if late, beyond the quality of any community game add-in released to date.
