Northpoint: Progress Update (19/08/14)

It's been a while since our last update. But that doesn't mean we've been twiddling our thumbs. We've been busy at the less 'showy' aspects of the mod:

Firstly, I have been bugfixing, polishing and refining the landscape and interiors. Northpoint in its current state is fully playable as a sandbox mod.

The second major area I have been working on is writing in-game books, journals and notes. Currently, Northpoint adds 29 new books (some from previous TES games, some completely new) and 22 misc notes/journals (not including quest-related notes).

As a little treat, here is an example of one of our new texts, which gives a little insight into Northpoint's lore:

Northpoint: Wereboar

Today we are introducing another unique creature of Northpoint; the Wereboar!  Created by the very talented KaelinH.  These nasty creatures dwell in the deepest woods and caverns of High Rock and make for formidable opponents.

Northpoint: Interior Level Design

We've been hard at work these last few months on Northpoint's interiors.  This means: town houses, farms and dungeons.  Here's a little visual update:

Progress Update: 17th July

Our modellers have been hard at work and made significant headway in the past few weeks.  The Ogrim is nearing completion, the Sheep and Rams of Northpoint are nearly finalised and the Herne of Bloodhunt is currently being textured.

Creatures of Northpoint 01

3d Modelers, Kaelin and Yogesh, have been hard at work on the creatures of Northpoint.

Kaelin has been working on our re-imagined version of the Grahl, who serve as the rugged trolls of Northpoint. Here is our decided concept of them:

And here is Kaelin's current progress on the female troll model:

Next up is Yogesh's concept art for our version of the Ogrim:

And here is an early progress shot of the Ogrim model:

I'll be posting more images later, as they progress with these and other models, so keep checking back with us to see more content!

Also, very soon we'll be announcing our classic 2d game project, with new concept art, as well as a description of the game. At the moment, we're banging our head's together, trying to decide on a title!

Anyway, thank you Kaelin and Yogesh for your brilliant work so far!

Northpoint: The City

This week I completed the redesign of the city in our new wintery style.  Northpoint is the largest settlement in the Kingdom and is home to the powerful Hall Dunfell.  It is also the location of the land's parliament - the House of Halls - where the main political factions convene.

Northpoint: Redesign

Northpoint has undergone a bit of a redesign, out with the old dreary roughlands and in with the new wintery wonderland!

As a diehard fan of Bloodmoon (second expansion for Morrowind) I'd like to inject some of that old magical mystery and wonderment into Northpoint.

Below are a few screenshots displaying one of our new regions the 'Bernician Plains' and the completed location 'Albrow Farm'.

I hope you like the new direction.
