Graff Island Unclone Preview

Thanks Travis, nice work!

 

Doesn't look like I needed to worry about losing my isolated top of the hill lot to a Drastic elevation change.

 

Oh so you're the other guy.

 

Looking good Travis . Can't wait to see how the Graff Family lives . I hope some of those Gems will tend to pour on over to our side of the Property line . Possession is 9/10th's of the law

Beautiful work, like others said, I cant tell it was a clone . Looking forward to the next iteration!

I was considering changing my name to Vas Ort Flam :-/

 

Actually you can tell the difference. Since nearly every town is based on the PaxLair layout/biome, they do look alike if your looking for it. Lots of clues if you're not actively suspending disbelief. But pretty graphics work by the team. Thanks for your efforts!

Loved this too much not to.

 

Another update on Graff Island (images below) -



Graff Manor (Tower on the left = private, impregnable gem stash (to control the gem market of course))



Graff Trade Docks (a little North up the coast from the residential docks)



Graff Island Pavilion (Crafting and trade pavilion with a patio tavern)




That's all for now, going back to it.
I really hope you guys like it when it goes live!

 

These are looking great. I particularly like the last screen shot. Looks like some sort of market place with possible shops on the second level walkway.

 

If some of our more creative players can find a way into the tower... will there be lots of loot for those with less virtuous leanings? 8^)

 

Depending on how much cleanup you've already done there are a number of visual bugs listed on the r35 bug forum for what made it to the test server. I think I had 6 and someone else put 18 in one post.

Request for the river leading to the waterfall as the closest land owner Reduce it to a trickle. Right now on the test server it's bugged and the river is just mostly missing. I actually like it that way. But its obvious with the waterfall still there that the intent was not for it to be completely dry.

The little hut structure in the bend of the road leading down from my house on the other side is a little odd (why would it be there?) though.

 

Another Update!

Thanks for following the updates!

 

That estate looks very different than it did the last time I saw it...

 

From the 11/1/2016 Standup Corner
Travis Koleski: Graff Island, "Buc's Den" planning

Where on Graff Island will Buc's Den be located?

 

Sorry for any confusion. I am moving on to work on Buc's Den (which will be called something else) when I'm done with Graff Island. They are two entirely separate areas. You're welcome to move to Graff but don't expect Buc's Den to exist on Graff! It's definitely its own area.. elsewhere..

 

Ahhhh - thanks for the heads up. I'm really excited for what's coming!!!

 

Wow.... didn't know Graff gems made Graff family such a fortune this much!

 

Based solely on the map of Novia it looks like they are the only town in the area with a moon tower for defense . It's even got its own capital lettering on the Map of Novia which makes it looks like its own autonomous region next to Drachvald. Anyway, as it seemed like an oddball spot on the map, and the Graff name inspired by a real life jeweler, I've been looking forward to the final reveal of this place.

Thanks for the early preview, Vas Corp Por.

 

Another Update:


Some old ruins by the lake




Updated riverbed






A shot of the updated town center




Graff Island Amphitheater (hoping to see some player-run productions take place here)

 

Looks great!
