The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: You have been summoned...
« on: October 05, 2016, 07:01:40 pm »
I've been lurking for 9 years! But I'm nowhere near competitive on forum stats... That top stats page brought up a few memories. Long live Adraax!  \\o//

Kwynuuhaav sees the glimmer of recognition in the boys eyes and the Dermorian lady rushing forward. He tries to cover his face as he moves forward but fails to conceal his identity. The full force of his rush is directed through his shoulder into the limp body of the drunk, and his target slumps to the ground. Kwynuuhaav reaches for the edge of the sack in an attempt to run away with it, and his fingers begin to brush the fabric. However, at the same time the momentum of his run carries him further off his balance, and he collapses on the now annoyed looking drunkard. He struggles to his feet, but not in time to get away from the advancing Dermorian.

[sorry, work picked up. I'll try and respond tonight!]

34
Kwynnuhaav watches as the stumbling man moves closer to the bag and the boy. Emboldened after the stone doesn't give away his location, he jumps out of the shadows and rushes towards the two standing by the sack. He leans into his shoulder and prepares to push the drunk into the boy in the hopes of grabbing the bag in the confusion.

35
Just as his foot finds firm footing on smooth cobbles, Kwynnuhaav looks up to see a young Ylian crouched over the sack. Frustrated with yet another obstacle appearing before him, the grey skinned klyros looks around for an idea. Luckily, a small pebble is wedged into the stone road, and the klyros pries it out and pulls back his arm to throw. The small rock, meant to sail to the other side of the street and misdirect the young boy, hits the edge of the building right next to Kwynnuhaav with a dull thud before bouncing straight towards the boy's head.  Kwynnuhaav tenses in anticipation of the situation escalating.

[Actually Kwynnuhaav is a 3d char in game, who happened to be on rooftops near this part of Hydlaa when Illysia set things in motion. I chose to have him respond as if he were there reacting to it. Sorry if this makes things even more confusing!]

Kwynnuhaav perches on the extending end of an exposed ridge beam, concealed by the shadow of the bridge house behind him. His wings shudder as a breeze dances across the rooftops. From his vantage in this landscape of shingles and chimneys, he peers keenly down into the canyons of street.

He mutters to himself, "Not quite like home in the city of towers and wings, but I don't have any contacts yet in this city. I'll have to take what I can get if I want food tomorrow."

A sudden noise of surprise and struggle cuts into the dark silence, and Kwynnuhaav whips his head around to find the source. Seeing nothing, he creeps along the gable end to jump softly to the neighboring building. Nestled in the grey stone of the street below a smudge of texture interrupts the scene. A faint expression of surprise and interest cross his face, then resolve sets in.

Kywnnuhaav mumbles even quieter now, "If I can't eat it, I can certainly sell it." He begins a slow and stealthy descent back to the streets everyone else frequents, readying to snatch the sack.

Mired in the static of suffocating data, the mind man, our new vitruvian, rests in  limbo between the  autonomous venturer and the collective subconscious. Your work lends itself well to the concepts at play. You always have had a knack for using digital media intimately, producing the bespoke instead of the reductive. I'm always looking forward to new entries here.

Fun with fog and normal maps!


Looks like there's a bit of a leak in the tavern.

Thank you everyone for the appreciation!  And thanks Ligh for the great screenshots!
I'd like to second Nikodemus' call for more contributors.  Through these first two phases, the existing contributors have shown what it takes to build a city in game, and also what is possible through this approach.  While this quarter is a great start on the city, there is still much left to be done.  Everyone enjoy the city and keep in mind how it can continue to be built!

Original text:

"Dependant upon the brilliance of the scintilla of luminance escaping the haphazardly leaning door, the bug flitted through the skirling winds with courage unrivalled, only to be broken by the swift swing and painful sting of a flyswatter."

...10 translations later we get:

"Depending on lighting conditions, providing fuel and air in the rationalization of unprecedented bravery, error Slovakia Keling, just a quick separation matamosques painful sting."
