[SHOWOFF] Skarn - Some Progress So Far

...people will think the whole thing was made by them

I think this is a good thing. ^^

 I see, then I'll not argue much more here, because it becomes more conceptual and this is not the place to talk about this kind of subjects. But this is undoubtely the point where we disagree.  :|

release this public
Looks bad apple.

[Skarn]

Please don't make any flame here. I personally agree with everything Allifeur said, his criticism looks very constructive. Thanks everyone for the replies.

Let's agree that you've not made a 100% custom piece of content yet yourself.


E.g Your own texture files, your own models, and your own landscapes.


And let's not haste into conclusion, by saying that the very files you've built on. are Blizzard's as well.

I was once a hypocrite as well, and it never ends well for a hypocrite.

[Allifeur]

Sorry Skarn to keep posting here, but I must defend myself.

 Though I do not claim myself of doing something 100% custom. I do not claim the fact of making objects as much as an Interior designer will not say that he's the furniture manufacturer or the structure architect. Though, what I watch here is not the quality of the objects, but the choice and the way that the level designer decided to follow.

  If you think I'm saying that my base has nothing to do with Blizzard's work, then it means you got all my words wrong : It's because I'm conscient of it that I don't want to miss-use it.

 I'm actually quite bad at creating individual objects in 3D, what I like is assembling things in order to create a whole system

  Gardeners never invented the flower, some can make hybrids (like we make reskins..) but there are still inventivity in their work in the choice of flowers and the way they put them. That's the same thing here.
So please, don't call me an hypocrit, because I know that what I make is dependant of Blizzard too, and that's also why I dislike a lot of my works.

 That's all I will reply. If you want to reply again, please, let's make a new post.

It looks great. Keep up the good work Skarn!

Minor changes fix

Allifeur,
i totally agree with you but can you say that it is wrong since blizzard will never use this maps?
or am i wrong?
don't we give them credit for it by using the maps?
well,
what about alpha mapping?
i flamed about it as well at start,
and we have to admit every great "texturer"
uses alpha maps, you may dig into maps of others and see its ALL alpha mapped,
well most of it.

btw,
Allifeur not to be a dick, but you don't have to say you don't like it enough for over 12 times, just saying mate.
still,
you said it in a very nice way

Well as soon as Alifeur stops spending his days commenting on something that is not 100% custom built, he may just have time to build something 100% custom himself.

Sorry but you cannot rip into this, your best bet would be to offer advice as oppose to trying to find minor issues. As is mentioned in our portfolio, Skarn uses world of warcraft as a game engine in order to create a world in which we can express our lore. We are not trying to re-build anything, but we will. Everything we build is and will be unique, whether we use our own models or not. We currently lack people who have the appropriate skills for doing the jobs you specify, and when we get one you can feel free to comment. Until then please keep it to advice/constructive criticism and maybe some respect if needed - not stupid nit-picks.

BTW im not having a go at you, just as you say - defending myself. Touche.

Take Care Alifeur, there will always be a spot for you here if you want it.

[phucko1]

I'm not saying anyone is right, just wanna say take this discussion elsewhere. Futher commenting Allifeur/Drikish/Skarn's comments will only spark drama which is not what we want to create here.

[Skarn]

Guys, please no argues anymore here. Phucko is absolutely right. It's not we what we want to create here.

[axel0099]

Yea, i totally understand.

[Hanfer]

i kinda dig this mountain style....with some more details etc. it could turn out quite nicely

[obliviousRoadie]

the screenshots of this world of yours gives off this sort of barbaric mood and it makes me hear conan the barbarian's theme in my head on repeat and you can tell i think it's f**cking amazing
is there gonna be a private server for this tho? i wanna play in this
