Let Me Give You A Tour!

There was a bookstore in the original mod that you came across that sold occult books and metaphysical supplies. It had some important information but outside of that it was just another stop on your way out of town. Here’s some refresher screens:

For some reason I don’t remember it being this sparse! Anyway, this store now serves as a base of operations (remember I mentioned in the development journal that the original mod was supposed to have a hub area?) You can eat, rest, research without fear of being mobbed by the demonic undead! You will return here after each mission and there’s an NPC that will answer questions and help you decide what to do and where to go next.

The above pic is what it looked like for about 2 years (I think that’s the last time I touched it, I can’t even remember) since I was just plowing through and only creating the layout of the maps and blocking everything out. I didn’t add too much detail to many areas (as I always said I would return and polish them up in the final detailing phase, which is where we are at now) so you can see what the game would look like at its basic.

It was a bit of a pain coming up with all the different little nuances of these types of places but having been to many of these stores in real life (I’m totally into this shit! XD) I felt an obligation to get the look and feel as accurate as I could. There are also living quarters upstairs but I decided last minute to not show any since I don’t want to further spoil it.

The cleanup of these maps is taking a little longer than I anticipated but they are also looking far better than I could have imagined. It’s coming guys, just a little bit more!

And for anyone that missed this video, you can get a small preview of me groaning and drooling all over the place! XD
