    Here's some early shots of Blood Bay.

    [​IMG]

    Blood Bay is an open PVP map located on an atoll. At the ends of the arms of the atoll is a town founded by brigands and buccaneers. However, one side hosts more virtuous adventurers, while the other hosts adventurers with slightly more colorful pasts, (there's going to be a lot of fighting on this bridge).

    Approaching the town from the less virtuous side of the island.

    The view from the more virtuous side of the town.

    Thanks for taking the time to see how Blood Bay is shaping up. There's lots of unique features to this map that I'll be unveiling as they reach completion!

    I am loving this scene. One thing that stands out is the buildings look distinctive and different from your work on them, and rocks around the area have a dirty dusty look that makes them distinctive. I am happy to see over-used same old same old cobblestones are missing. Thanks it is gorgeous. You are doing such terrific work. I cannot wait to visit the area.

    It's pretty large, with a giant volcano in the middle of it (which I'm working on right now.. wasn't quite ready to show it). Next shots will have pics of the rest of the island.

    I'm hoping that volcano has an entrance leading to a dungeon. One with caverns surrounded with liquid hot magma (said like Dr. Evil).

    Great job, Vas Corp Por!

    Love how the island is looking! It really does gives me a Buccaneer's Den kinda vibe.

    Will the water get effects, since it is boiling/poisonous/damaging (per Chris in the last postmortem)? Right now it just looks like normal water. Rising steam and large bubbles would make it look more dangerous.

    Now would be a good time to introduce some water creatures like sharks and squid.

    And I hope there are swampy parts with crocodiles to keep everyone on their toes.

    How are you going to enforce having one side virtuous and the other not so virtuous? Will one side be PvP enabled and the other not?

    This looks great and I can't wait to see the rest of the island! Really looking forward to more PVP in SotA and I think this will help.
