    One night in Brittany makes a hard man humble.

    They should push the limits, then blame Chris if it doesn't perform well.

    Absolutely! Events like the Shooter Jennings party are a huge stimulus to refinement and tweaking:D Got a feeling Brittany will be the same....

    I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but will there be new PVM zones nearby Brittany that don't require a long walk or going through nightshade pass?

    I've been waiting for sneak-peak 2! Usually approaching newsletter (Friday) they put something in the dev+ forums and then post it the next day in the newsletter.

    I need my fix though! It's been a quiet week from the devs in the forums :)

    Yes, I'd like to see what the main entrance to Britanny looks like so I know where to put my village lot.

    Well you guys are in luck, I'll be making a post shortly!
    This will probably be a short post, but definitely expect a bigger one in the coming weeks when we get other areas of Brittany built and plot locations solidified.

    And thank you all fellow Avatars for the great reception!

    SNEAK PEEK PART 2: CAPITAL OF NOVIA

    Hey guys! SorcerousSteve here to give you an update on Brittany!

    *Everything that has been shown so far is to be contained in the scene Brittany (Central).
    Last week I showed a screenshot of the South Portside Gate, this week we can see more of the Portside as it will appear from the ocean.
    Including one of Brittany's main roads, the road that leads straight to Castle Brittany from the Port of Brittany. From the Port of Brittany to the Castle it is 5 blocks of dedicated area where you'll find player housing. Taking this screenshot below into consideration we are still only seeing about 40% of Brittany (Central).
    [​IMG]

    This week I began construction on one of Brittany's most affluent districts, located on the city's North Gate. This is where a good number of the city's town, city, and village lots will be located. A short walk away from the heart of Brittany, (Brittany Castle and the Oracle Temple), its comprised mainly of stone architecture, its gardens are tended, and its inhabitants live a more refined life style. If you got the money you definitely want to consider setting up a home here.
    [​IMG]

    Also on the works this week, is the Southern most part of Brittany Central. Unlike the latter, its is one of the cities poorest districts and in close proximity to the agricultural area of Brittany (Central) including the Brittany Dam. Many of its inhabitants live in shacks and ramshackles in muddy streets.
    [​IMG]

    Thats it for now folks! Stay tuned for more on the City of Brittany as it unfolds!

    Midnight posting (where I live anyways!). Always happy to see more screenshots - thanks for sharing!

    I hope to see a high-ish concentration of town and above lots in Brittany to have the makeup a little different from other towns which have very few larger lots.

    Great job Steve. It looks amazing and I'm loving how much different it's looking than some of the other cities. You truly are an artist.

    I'm not much of a city-dweller, but this could tempt me. What a fantastic extended harbour area. Living right above that would provide a magnificent view. Thank you again, SorcerousSteve.

    Dammit, Steve!

    If you make Brittany SO gorgeous, everyone will want to live there! And it means that by the time it'll be my turn to place my lot, it will be full! :(

    MAKE IT UGLY!!! :D
