Clone posted an update on their web page:<blockquote>So progress goes on like usual for the development of AoA. If you haven't heard yet, a demo is coming at the end of this month. For details on the demo, check out the progress page.

I've been working on creating the landscape for the wasteland and the fourth city Bullrun. You will have to play the demo to find out what it is. I do have some treats to hold you over until the demo release.

Why do post nuclear landscapes have to look like an African desert? Since when nuclear bombs are causing red rocks and sand dunes to pop up everywhere?

I've never seen such a foggy desert.

That's, because the desert was made for systems with low graphics rendering capability. See the fog covers what needs to be shown so the PC doesnt die of exhaustion.

I remember some of the old FPS had fog everywhere...

That looks astonishingly close to Anarchy Online.

The same boring emptiness. Yay.

That character needs to relax a bit, though. The shoulders look as if that guy (gal?) was frozen while shrugging. Quite unnatural.
 
Relax, Vault Dweller, I'm perfectly aware of the fact. Fog is also a common scalable option. I'm pointing out that not only is it rather heavy, but it also looks completely out of place in the setting. They could at least give it a brownish tinge, that would look a bit better.

Ashmo, I think that's a very thick vest she's (looks female, to me) wearing.

That's what I thought, but then the transition between vest and arms would look different.

I figured it may be a woman with a "Tomboy" style hair cut, but I've seen members of boy bands walk around with hair like that, so I wouldn't be too sure.

I still wonder where he/she found a barber in that wasteland to keep the hair cut that neat and orderly.
Also I wonder what kind of hair conditioner he/she uses.

It kinda looks like something out of Mechwarrior 2.

And I bet she uses bacon fat to ake her hair nice Ashmo. 8)
 
hmmm

Doesont look impressive to me so far. Hardly no detail anywhere, foggy textures and speaking of fog .... that fog in the distance looks a bit dodgy. Oh well, im sure there will be more detail later, who knows.
 
Those must be the ugliest 3D visuals I have ever seen. Fade To Black looked better than that, and it was released ten years ago.

I remember people telling me how strong my shoulder muscles were though I never worked out. Thing is when I get nervous I tend to shrug and my muslces stay in that position.

You could probably also collect data disks that have different hairstyles on them, and then give them to the barber shop to get that hairstyle. I'm sure that some quests could be made that would have you trying to find really rare hairstyles.

Am I the only one interested if you can get a pet and give him a haircut too?

No siree, i`m very interested about that too! :look:


It sure looks like Anarchy online...
 
Hey, that chick's face looks a bit like my girl's.

Except the alien glowing eyes and junkie eyesockets.

Hmm.
 
I hope they add beauty parlors so the player can choose nailpolish and makeup.
