I have the impression that you sometimes get some negative criticism in some forums or on social media - and maybe this harsh criticism is justified to some extent. Unfortunately, I also have the impression that people miss out on praising you for your good work. This post aims to make up for it:
Thank you for the new storm glass tileset!
Start building a storm glass citadel on an official PvEC server and I’m really happy with the new tileset. Good work.
This set is really great, just like what you would expect based on the last reinforced stonebrick set but more.
TBH the best part of CE is BUILDING. It beats every foe in this genre easily imho.
I like the set except for 2 things: the circular window is set in foundation-think walls. I thought I’d be able to replace existing walls with some of those, but nope. It’d take a complete remodel. And tho it’s not specific to these pieces alone, it kills me that it still rains thru the glass ceiling pieces. My throne room just doesn’t seem like a throne room when it raining inside
That’s kind of funny. It’s not raining anywhere for me.
In my opinion, the new tileset elements can be used to build something more delicate. Buildings that are supposed to be visually appealing and functional at the same time no longer have to be designed in such a brutalist architectural way.
I’m still in the middle of the building phase. So the citadels are construction sites. But I should be finished in a few weeks - after all, a lot of resources have to be farmed first.
Yeah thats a product I believe of how it does the rain cancelation indoors. There is a top down 2d camera for rain that masks the building top to prevent rain on the floor. So the glass probably doesnt occlude enough to prevent it. Its likely one of those things that, yeah it could be done differently, but at additional memory overhead and would probably cause problems for older hardware or consoles. The only other way I can think to do it would be that building pieces carry a cancel weather volume underneath, but that would probably give a lot of people (if not everyone) a lagfest.
Yeah, I ended up just tearing out the glass ceiling. It’s gonna rain on m anyways, but at least now I can clearly see the pretty Vegas lights shooting up into the sky from my religious alters behind the throne room lol
But I do like the new pieces in general. May even build a second (technically 3rd) base with a new design from the ground up
Prickly. Sends a clear message to god avatars: “Don’t step on this.”
I’m still in the process of baking enough hardened bricks so I can build my stormglass house on Siptah. Still haven’t decided on the design, but I really like the new pieces and would like to include them in the design.
… My wish for the future is that you add stained glass windows to the storm glass tileset. The tileset is great for arcane and sacred buildings, so it would be nice if there were also stained glass windows with arcane and religious motifs from the Conan setting.
