Will you be generating a overworld layout using the level generator tool? I'd imagine you could whip up a pretty good "olde time feeling" base then place your towns and other neccesities on top of it.

Umat · #83 07-22-2009, 04:53 AM

making the server level by level is pretty oldschool as far as i know

Nelm · #84 07-22-2009, 12:30 PM

Looks nice, bro. Really digging keeping the old style feel architecture and changing up the colors to not make it feel like it's the same stuff over and over.

And don't listen to Crono, black is ossum. He's just a poopyhead.

BigBear3 · #85 07-22-2009, 05:25 PM

So awesome Lux.

Please be more detailed, I can't improve the level on the word "ew"

Constructive criticism is always wanted, renember.

I am working on the first player settlement now

It's heavily WIP as I just started half an hour ago, but I wanted to upload a late night update

I am seeing forward to comments and constructive criticism!

Galdor · #89 07-23-2009, 01:00 AM

add dark clouds, rain and thunder over the black house, and let someone evil live there xD

Nelm · #90 07-23-2009, 01:35 AM

Every time I see your signature, I just think you're the happiest kid alive. You're REALLY looking forward to this.

Me too!

Sounds Neat!

Maybe, but there will be more blue houses in that settlement, so you can wait to take the house, which fit's you the best.

But if you like

Then I hope someone wants a black house

MysticX2X · #96 07-23-2009, 11:41 PM

Very nice. I'm liking the look of it.

Skatertay · #97 07-24-2009, 04:32 AM

Any new additions to what a regular classic server does not consist of, that either is already being worked on or going to be worked on in the near future?

Yeah, and I'm saying the black roof is ugly. Perhaps a nicer color should be used because the black doesn't seem so fitting.

It is a reinvention of the classic style.
Features? I haven't decided regarding most features as I plan to slowly finish the overworld before going too deep into planning and speculations.

Ok, word. Well keep me updated as I'm sure many others around me as well.

Of course, and it doesn't mean that TOT is stopped or on halt.

I just don't want to spend the money on a playerworld before there is alot to show - 60 - 100 Bucks is quite some money too and shouldn't be wasted, thats why I will finish the overworld before it goes online again.

Skatertay · #**103** 07-25-2009, 07:28 PM

Sounds good.

Switch · #**104** 07-25-2009, 10:09 PM

You're gonna need lots of quests and adding new ones for this all the time, then I'm sure it'll be great

Aramas · #**105** 07-27-2009, 08:03 AM

I still can't get over how good this is turning out. I am say that with my serious hat on too!

Darklux · #**106** 08-07-2009, 06:21 PM

Thanks for all the responses

The project is not stopped - I am just enjoying the summer and the heat in my private room is overwhelming.

Expect more updates when the temperature is acceptable again

Gos_pira · #**107** 10-08-2009, 03:35 PM

So, still working on this?

Darklux · #**108** 06-20-2012, 10:09 AM

Would there still be a target group for this here?

Crono · #**109** 06-20-2012, 02:31 PM

http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...5&d=1196016529

i still think that looks awesome. i don't think there's a big target demographic for this here, but if crow is still working on atlantis maybe the old styling would fit there?

DustyPorViva · #**110** 06-20-2012, 05:19 PM

Damn, that is a nice shade of red.

i just love how it looks so "big". if you tried to do that same building with the modern pics1.png it would look a bit off.

Honest? If so, thanks, because that's mine

Darklux · #**113** 06-20-2012, 07:32 PM

I decided to get it back online.

I don't aim for any release for now - but it will be open when people want to wallow for nostalgia.

Indeed, I had suspected it was ripped from the roofs in LttP but I didn't bother to check 'cause I don't think it mattered. Kudos to you!

Darklux · #**115** 06-20-2012, 10:29 PM

ToT is online again as "Dev Darklux" for now

I will publish updates from time to time, but please rather regard it has hobby project, than real playerworld project.

Ducati_Link · #**116** 06-21-2012, 05:00 AM

I would of defiantly played this if it was a real playerworld. Love it <3

Never say never

as It's a small project for now I don't know where it'll lead to, but if there is enough content to a point of time, I will try to release it.

I wish more levels would be made this way. This style creates the impression that town buildings are plotted rather than a mere random collection of buildings. The orderliness is easy on the eye. Not over-detailing as so many levellers do these days also puts more focus on the finer details that do exist.

Yeah, Delteria's overworld in 2002 was a revolution in the way housing was done on Graal. Probably the best example of a large-scale town ever. The levels themselves weren't great in terms of detailing, cliffs, etc, but the streets/housing was great for its time and still holds up imo.
