Monthly Livestream: R51 Rewards: Darkstarr Themed!

This week was incredibly productive for the Darkstarr items with Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear producing seven new items including the chainmail, crossbow, dagger, staff, morningstar, and helm!

[From a Dev+ Forum Post by Starr “Darkstarr”]

As you might remember the Monthly Livestream for Release 51 was Darkstarr themed in honor of my birthday! As we wrapped work on Release 52 launch tasks we started working on the the Darkstarr stretch goal items with the Darkstarr chaos symbol on them. I hope that you are as excited about them as I am!!!!

Darkstarr Chainmail: Based on the original concept sketch by Stephen “Caravaggio’s Wolf” Daniele and implemented by Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear this armor cleverly incorporates the chaos arrows in every piece.

Darkstarr Crossbow: Another weapon by Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear which yet again cleverly incorporates the arrow motif, this time in the bowstave and front of the crossbow.

Darkstarr Spear: One handed polearm by Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear.

Darkstarr Morningstar: As promised here is a morningstar where the spikes are chaos arrows! I love how Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear also incorporated the Darsktarr symbol in the handguard.

Darkstarr Dagger: This one handed blade that Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear created uses the chaos arrows for the serrated edge. It is based on historical swordbreaker (“daga rompispada” in Italian) parrying daggers that had large, deep serrations along one side of the blade, resembling the barbed teeth of a comb and were designed to entrap an opponent’s blade, allowing a variety of follow-up techniques (see reference image below).

Darkstarr Staff: This large two-handed staff created created by Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear is capped by a gigantic Darkstarr symbol.

Darkstarr Coronated Chain Helm: This helmet created by Fletcher “Scathana” Kinnear is inspired by Persian chain helms and incorporates Darkstarr’s signature crown made up of chaos arrows and also features a chaos arrow as the nose guard.

The Making of Eastmarch

Eastmarch is a village on the southeast coast of Drachvald near the Vauban pass. The famous song by the bard Iolo, “The Baron of Eastmarch”, was written about a baron of this town before the keep fell into ruin after repeated attacks from undead. In recent times the locals have been strengthening their defenses with watchtowers and patching up the ruined keep walls so that the keep can be used as a refuge during undead attacks.

[From a A Dev+ Forum Post by Chris “Sea Wolf” Wolf]

Hey folks, I have a few screenshots of my progress in Eastmarch, a player town near Vauban Pass. The area was once home to the Baron of Eastmarch, and the ruins of his keep can be found here. The only area that is far enough along to show today is the town center, so you can expect more screenshots of the countryside and the Baron’s keep, along with more information about the area. Feel free to leave feedback, especially if you live here.

The Making of Penmawr Island

Penmawr Island is a Tier 4 island in the Bay of Storms in the South Paladis region directly south of Jaanaford. The island is a haven of pirates, plunderers, and bandits but the dock area has recently been overrun by undead.

[From a Dev+ Forum Post by Travis “Vas Corp Por” Koleski]

Located in the Bay of Storms, Penmawr Island is getting uncloned!

Here’s some screenshots of our current progress on this tier 4 adventure zone (It will be full of raucous pirates and other ghoulish baddies):

Thanks for following the update!

The Making of Tenebris Harbor

Tenebris Harbor was once a thriving town on the coast of the Bay of Storms in the South Paladis region west of Jaanaford. The town has recently been attacked and taken over by pirates and plunderers who have burned down whole sections of the town.

[A Dev+ Forum Post by Esteben “SorcerousSteve” Zaldivar]

Hey guys! SorcerousSteve here to give you a sneak peak at Tenebris Harbor!

Tenebris Harbor was until recently a productive shipbuilding town until a large band of pirates swarmed into the area with the goal of looting and stealing some of the finest galleons in Novia. Their onslaught was so unexpected and aggressive that many of the guards and civilians perished. Parts of the city now lay in flame and the plunderers have made themselves comfortable happily looting and killing any strangers coming to check on the safety of the town.

The Tenebris Harbor dockside suffered the heaviest damage, much of the civilian population in this part of town was wiped out.

On the outskirts of Tenebris Harbor, looking South towards the docks.

Palms line the main causeway leading to the docks, now engulfed in flames.

A pirate flag flies high over the Tenebris Harbor Fort.

Even though the docks are still up in flames, many parts of town including the town square managed to stay intact as the plunderers came in and looted the many establishments.

A shot of the Tenebris Harbor countryside.

Stay tuned next week for more updates on Tenebris Harbor!

BRITTANY WHARFS:

[From a Dev+ Forum Post by Scott “Lum” Jennings]

Thank you for your continuing support of Shroud of the Avatar! This month, we’re seeking entries for inhabitants of the neighborhoods of Brittany Wharfs!

Yes, it’s finally time to start populating the largest city in Novia, the jewel of New Britannia and the home of so many adventures. The Wharfs are an area heavily focused on trade, merchants, and crafting. The main harbor hosts a lot of boat traffic at its peak. North of the harbor is the Warehouse District. Rails line the streets to facilitate the transportation of cargo from the warehouses to the harbor. The wharfs of Brittany see traffic of an entire continent come through its docks, and many fortunes are made and lost among its tides.

Note that Brittany Wharfs is not the only area we will be seeking submissions from for R53. If you do NOT want your backer NPC to be in Brittany Wharfs, you may want to wait. I will update this thread if we are running low on submissions – generally we are OK on duplicate submissions for characters who don’t get adopted (such as guards) but if you absolutely have a character who should be in a given city (such as Brittany) you should wait until we advertise for that city.

First, some brief notes:

Brittany Wharfs, while not technically a “clone” of an older scene, has many NPCs which are not currently unique. Thus, the NPCs are already in the game, but we can change appearance (to a degree, as seen below), gender, etc. to suit your request. If you want to pick a specific NPC (for example, one near your own house) we will do our best to accommodate you but may not be able to.
NPC visual customization, as you may have noticed, is still at a very early stage in development. Right now for the backers who want to be added to Northwood, we cannot offer any visual customization options beyond our standard gallery of NPC models. If you would like to have input over the visual customization of your NPC, you can wait for further releases when we can offer this. We will also allow a one-time visual re-customization once customization has been added if you would like to add your NPC now.
Response to this will be on a first-come first-served basis for each call for responses. If your NPC doesn’t appear in Brittany Wharfs, feel free to respond again in future posts. We have quite a few towns and cities to populate!
We are allowing people who have already submitted NPCs to submit their ideas for Brittany Wharfs as well if they like, but people who have not yet submitted an NPC will take priority over those who have.
When responding, please list a first and second choice for profession.
This is currently for Brittany Wharfs ONLY. We will be opening all of Brittany for NPC placement in stages. (There are MANY NPCs in Greater Brittany!)
NPCs for Brittany Wharfs should be human only, please.

Still with us? Great! Here’s what we need for Brittany Wharfs:

38 33 guards
1 bookseller
~~1 alchemist~~
1 armorcrafter
2 innkeepers
2 waiters / waitresses
~~1 blacksmith~~
1 housing deeds merchant
1 housing decorations merchant
2 crafting supplies merchants
1 weapons merchant
1 butcher
1 fishing supplies merchant
1 magic supplies merchant
1 cooking supplies merchant
~~1 combat trainer~~
~~1 crafting trainer~~
~~1 banker~~
~~1 town crier~~
3 public vendors
1 guild registrar

If you’d like to have your namesake be a resident of Brittany Wharfs, please respond via private message on this forum to me (Lum) using the following format:

NPC name:
NPC gender:
NPC profession (first choice):
NPC profession (second choice):
NPC background (optional): A paragraph on whom your NPC is, how they would respond to nosy outlanders poking about their business, what brings them to Brittany Wharfs (or keeps them there), or anything else you’d like to add. We reserve the right to edit and/or reject any background that does not fit the lore and setting of the game.

Please specify in your submission that this NPC is for Brittany Wharfs.

We will respond if: your NPC is used; if it is rejected for whatever reason (such as an inappropriate name); if a supplied background is inappropriate, or if your NPC missed the cutoff for this release.

Thanks for your support, and see you at the docks of Brittany Wharfs! (Save space for Atos’ alter ego…)

NORTHWOOD:

[From a Dev+ Forum Post by Scott “Lum” Jennings]

Thank you for your continuing support of Shroud of the Avatar! This month, we’re seeking entries for inhabitants of the town of Northwood!

Recently “uncloned” in Release 52, Northwood is beyond the grasslands far north of Brittany, near the western coast of Spindrift Bay in the North Paladis region. Rumors are spreading that the town boasts some remarkable similarities to locations on Earth known as Britannia Manor and Castleton, but surely that must be coincidence?

Note that Northwood is not the only town we will be seeking submissions from for R53. If you do NOT want your backer NPC to be in Northwood, you may want to wait. I will update this thread if we are running low on submissions – generally we are OK on duplicate submissions for characters who don’t get adopted (such as guards) but if you absolutely have a character who should be in a given city (such as Brittany) you should wait until we advertise for that city.

First, some brief notes:

Northwood is one of our “uncloning” scenes, where we go back and fill out unique content for each village and city. Thus, the NPCs are already in the game, but we can change appearance (to a degree, as seen below), gender, etc. to suit your request. If you want to pick a specific NPC (for example, one near your own house) we will do our best to accommodate you but may not be able to.
NPC visual customization, as you may have noticed, is still at a very early stage in development. Right now for the backers who want to be added to Northwood, we cannot offer any visual customization options beyond our standard gallery of NPC models.

We are allowing people who have already submitted NPCs to submit their ideas for Northwood as well if they like, but people who have not yet submitted an NPC will take priority over those who have.
When responding, please list a first and second choice for profession.
NPCs for Northwood should be human only, please.

Still with us? Great! Here’s what we need for Northwood:

7 6 guards
~~1 innkeeper~~
~~1 waiter / waitress~~
~~1 blacksmith~~
1 housing deeds merchant
1 housing decorations merchant
1 crafting supplies murchant
1 weapons merchant
1 combat trainer
~~1 crafting trainer~~
~~1 banker~~
~~1 town crier~~
1 public vendor
1 guild registrar

If you’d like to have your namesake be a resident of Northwood, please respond via private message on this forum to me (Lum) using the following format:

Please specify in your submission that this NPC is for Northwood.

Thanks for your support, and see you in Northwood!

For this week’s spotlight, we toured the town of Insulam de Nocte. The town is located conveniently just east of Brittany. After a few hours boat ride, our group arrived safely on the island to be greeted by a mysterious town guide. Our group is eager for a tour of what is rumored to be a place that has much to see, including an intense tournament series at the local arena.

Community Livestream: Exploring Quel Shardfall

For this Community Livestream, we took a stroll through the Release 52 scene of Quel Shardfall with Esteben “SorcerousSteve” Zaldivar and Dan “PlagueOfLocust” Brennan!

“The great Cataclysm from the shattering of the two moons happened hundreds of years ago and showered the land with meteors. The largest shards created huge areas of devastation called shardfalls. The influence of the Oracle is weak in these areas and Outlanders can slay each other at will (making it an Open PvP zone). After months of meteor showers one particularly large shard has been approaching steadily and has finally crashed.

The latest shardfall has obliterated North Quel Woods, and the Quel Shardfall has appeared in its place. Unlike other shardfalls that are hundreds of years old, this shardfall is so fresh that the ground is on fire, the air is thick with electricity that periodically discharges (ouch!), lava flows in places, and the amount of floating shards is staggering. The devastation of this new shardfall has exposed an ancient crypt, corrupting the resident lich and transforming him into a unique Obsidian Lich who uses Chaos Magic (much like the Chaos Daemon). Slaying the Obsidian Lich can reward you with a unique Obsidian Lich Helm.”

Project to Support – MidBoss

Emma Massen created the ABC music framework that we now use in Shroud of the Avatar for player instruments. Thank you Emma! We noticed your project on Steam and wanted to give it a shout out.

Avatars, MidBoss is easy to pick up and play if you’re new to the genre of traditional roguelikes (turn-based strategic RPGs with permadeath), but still has the depth and complexity that veterans expect and enjoy. Give it a try!

Resources – Players Helping Players

The official SotA New Player Welcome Forum and the Player Created Resources Forum have the best player created resources for Shroud of the Avatar, whether it’s a Player Written Guide, a Video Walk-through, or a Wiki-type Website.
