Breldur, my new age

If you feel like you're up to the challenge of building your own Ages in Blender or 3ds Max, this is the place for you!

With all the screenshots you've shown, it seems to be quite a big age, aren't you having Lag troubles?

Now you can have another impression of what's coming somewhen in the future. At the same time everybody now can recognize the use of these huge whale teeth.

Enjoy the view and imagine the sound of singing and chirping birds, splashing waves and screaming seagulls in the sky!
(That's what I can hear already in Breldur, when I'm there.) :D


Is a top-view of your age a possibility ?

@Nanouk-GoW : No, you can't visit Breldur. I'm still writing the age.

@jacuru: Are you talking about an ingame topview or a topview of the blender file?

and @Justintime9: Right now there aren't any lags. I'm really glad about this, because I'm using alot of textures, sound effects, animated water and a rotating sky. There have been some lages when I was using too much textures with transparency. But I could repair it.

Very nice! It's actually very good that you don't let anyone visit the Age yet... It's much more satisfying to visit a complete Age. Right now, I would really like to explore the Age, but in the end I'm sure I'd be grateful for the wait. As long as you finish it! :P

What hardware do you use? I just hope people with slower graphics cards can visit it, too :D

You can tell Jonnee's house by its dedicated high voltage powerlines and the 80kW heatpump outside. ;)

Teasing bleep-bleep-bleepetibleep...

Seriously though, I agree that it's nice not to have been spoiled by any prereleases. :)

It looks fantastic, Jonnee!

And I don't mind pre-releases; new ages could be (and have been) released in an episodic fashion, slowly giving access to new areas over time.
Can we rebuild it? Yes, we can - here's how.

You forgot to tell that my neighbor's lights start to flicker when I boot my computer. ;)
It's an old AMD Athlon XP25000+ 1,83GHz prozessor with 2GB DDR RAM and a WinFast A7300GT graphic card with 256MB RAM. I know that some people have old computers too, but I act on the assumption that my computer accords to the average.

Sure I will give you access to the age in steps. But right now there really aren't any buildings (with exeption of one). I don't want you to let you discover the age's empty landscape.
So everybody please be patient! Just wait for new screenshots! 8-)

Hello my friends! It's me again. 8-)

Yesterday I was some bored, did not want to write on the age.
But I can show you this now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDmAH079Ph0

Have fun! :)

I'm at a loss for words, but this looks awesome! :o
