A New Writer Joins The Team!

We are happy to welcome Sandra Carrington-Smith to the Bloodhunt team, as our new dialogue writer! Sandra is a very experienced writer and published author. One of her novels, THE BOOK OF OBEAH, is in pre-production to be a film.

The audio-book of the same novel is narrated by Dave Fennoy, who is the voice of Lee Everett in The Walking Dead video game. She is also currently writing the third book in her CROSSROADS series.

She's already been working on Hircine's dialogue and has done a fantastic job!

Progress Update: 23rd June

Just an update for you guys, to let you know how we're getting on! Had a few LOD and file-merging issues, but I've dealt with them now, so that's all working fine now. At the moment I'm working on some prototypes for new gameplay features and spells for Northpoint. I won't give away what they are just yet, but it's some pretty exciting stuff.

If you guys ever have suggestions on what you'd like to see, feel free to post a comment, and we'll take them into consideration. We're always happy to hear new ideas!

Kaelin, creator of the Grahls, is now working on some Wereboars and Woolly Sheep! He'll be creating some concept art for them first, which I'll share here when they're done, and expect some nice renders when the models are completed!

Also, Xenoo will be finishing work on our Hircine model soon, so expect some nice shots of him as well!

Ionis has laid the foundations for a lot of the interiors of Northpoint, so now our interior level designers are beginning their work. On that topic, we could still use help in that regard, so if you're a talented level designer, please get in touch!

Thanks for following us!

Northpoint: Landscape & Creature Shots

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but my aim is to keep this blog more regularly updated, so I'll do my best to that end. However, I think the wait will have been worth it, as we've got plenty of content to show off for this post!

First of all, I'm sure you'll agree that Kaelin our 3d modeler has outdone himself again! He's just finished work on the fearsome male Grahl, who you can see in the image below, accompanied by the smaller female Grahl he created previously. What a beautifully vicious couple they are! :D

The Grahl are the trolls of Northpoint. You'll find them living in caves and wandering the rugged, wintery wastes.

Next up we have some new level designing shots from Ionis. I just finished generating the LOD (distant objects) mountains for Northpoint, so I decided to have a run around and take some shots for you. Obviously these areas are still a WIP, as Ionis is going to come in later and do some fine detailing for these locations so they won't look as bare/empty, but already you can see there's a lot of great work there:

We've also got some progress shots on new creatures: the Herne and the Ogrim coming very soon. Also, 3d modeler Nathan has been working on a very special secret creature. The model has been completed, so now it only needs texturing. I'd love to show you the creature, as it looks magnificent, but sadly to do so would ruin Northpoint's main questline for you, so you'll just have to wait and be surprised! :)

Thanks for reading and watch this space for more info coming soon!
