O: Honestly, did he ever say he is quitting guys? O:
Trust me, no one is going to waste money on a server and not make good on it, especially if it's being talked about in such a manner as this one is. O_O;;
A. Vinka doesn't strike me as a quitter.
B. He would be known as a quitter and a failure if he were to quit.
C.If he quit, this would also be his 15 minutes of fame and some people may dislike him.
But anyway, that's just my point of view... (:
Also, I think you should create a BRAND NEW monster that hasn't even been created that players can fight. Otherwise it'd be a Maloria clone with awesome graphics. :P

If you even THINK about quitting, ima hit you with a paintbrush.

Alright.. it's been a long working day for me again.... (Gues I'll never learn )

I've layed down and designed the skeleton of the city. I've made a few screenshots of what it all looks like now (empty) and I'll show you what I will place there.

First up is the centre of the city, as you see I've moved a house and added two signs (the one on the left points towards the Battle Balcony, which will be the place where people can spar each other. The one on the right points towards the place where most of the citizens will live, and where you will be able to build your own house in the future.)

Second thing youll notice is Ive repositioned the Westonia Inn in the South East corner. The place where you will resurrect after you die. In a bed.

Third is where the Events Building will be, in the southwest corner.


Fourth is the place where the Election Hall will be placed, in the North West corner of the city. This will be the building where kingdom citizens will gather once a month to vote for the new King.



Fifth is the far north of the city; where the big stairs will be placed, which will lead to the King's throne and Battlefield Entry.



And the last spot in the North-East corner is where the City's church will be placed. One of the things that'll happen there are weddings; which will introduce you the ability to start amd create your own house, and much more.

Holy ****ing **** dude.

You should wait for the new Eurocenter level format(and editor). It will fit your graphical style much better if what I've heard is true. And by wait I don't mean sit on your ass and do nothing... they're just words.

[Nonepwnz]

Oh man, I am speechless! Very nice, keep it up. Don´t forget, when you are tired, get some rest haha ;-)

Anyways, awesome job <3

Very cute! I like the pink tree O:

[SouFooOoO]

Vinka, amazing job! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought your graphics were simply amazing and unique! I love your style and so far the ideas for the server sounds like fun already. But I wouldn't mind just logging on just to see the work of art!

Not many people have the perspective of objects/buildings on Graal right. Usually that is a major turn off for me, when I see things out of proportion or GFX made with wrong angles (for Example, in Aeon's starting point, the globe thingy lol). You seem to have it all done correctly! Can't wait to see how this turns out. Keep up the good work!

[Gothika]

I can't begin to translate how I feel about your work, just... wow.

What is this? Why don't I know of this?

[cyan3]

Your work is ****ing epic!

[Felix_Xenophobe]

**** son this is going to be ****in epic

[kia345]

don't **** with the wu

[Vinka]

Thank you so much for the kind words guys !

Some progress:

Created some new tiles, and uploaded the temporary fountain.. you can now swim in it and sit on the leaves . It's not finished because once we have our king I will make a statue of him and add a secret passageway to the sewers - which is a great way for the other kingdom to sneak into the city. Although it won't be easy because this is where our first dungeon will be and you would have to pass through the monsters.

Oh man, amazing to hear these plans! And nice picture too, and I see them little mushrooms there! Very nice Vinka, as always. You surprise me with every new post :-)

[Emera]

I can so see this going classic.

Why are you guys so nice? This is nothing yet ;o



Just a little 15 min sketch of the Events House... this is gonna be soo much fun haha.

[Sinkler]

The graphics are very well done. The overall appeal of the server is without words. Excellent job and keep up the good work. I hope to visit again soon!

[Conqueror]

Me 2, feel free to use!

[Vinka]

Thanks! This saves alot of time

[Cubical]

Which in turn, made my day

[Vinka]

Hahah, just having fun experimenting some stuff... ;o

[MajinDragon]

OMG, Thom... This server... it brings a tear to my eye (DAT SINGLE TEAR!) srsly... And all that stuff i read, voted kingdom leaders, marriage for houses. Dude... keep going because it's sounding like something i want, and alot of people do, something completely different.

[Nonepwnz]

I dont know what to write to explain what I feel.. This is freaking awesome man, keep it up, woah seriously.. <3

[maximus_asinus]

I like what I see, only complaint is the brick path lacks something (depth?) and when I see it I can never tell if it is a wall or a path.

[patrickp2p]

Really Cute!

[Vinka]

The kind words mean alot thanks.

Yep, still not done with those.


Still experimenting:

[salesman]

do you start drawing with a tablet or the mouse or what? It would be cool to see how you make your graphics (what tools do you use/steps do you take?).

[Vinka]

Oh nothing fancy really :P I just start straight away in photoshop with my Wacom tablet. All I use are basic brushes that come with PS. I like to believe it's the artist, and not the technique/software.

[Cubical]

Would be nice to see a few people offer to help, to make sure this project stays rolling. I know Vinka is in need of a few people to make ganis, not sure what else.

I think people are waiting for a hiring thread before they do offer.
