    • About the Coldstone CD and its content


      Sorry to take a whole topic just for a stupid question like this one...
      Ive bought Coldstone and asked for the CD... I already had my serial but still waiting for the CD, so 2 questions:
      - How long does it take usually to have it??? (I m living in France)
      - What kind of additional graphics are on this CD (I d like a precise answer for this one 'cause I m modifying the tiles given with the demo to match what I want to create... but I might be working a lot for nothing if something similar to what I m doing already exists on the CD i ll have soon I hope... for example, I ve duplicated modified the whole folders about Forest tiles so that it gives the impression to be wandering at night... and I might do the same to have tiles that make you feel you re in a swamp... i ll also try to make tile to build castles and dungeons like the ones you can find in FF5 for example (with better looking graphics than in FF5 of course...) and I d like to create animated water too....)

      depending of the answers and what's on the CD, I might decide to release those tiles on the net for others (I m thinking about the "night" tiles right now since they are the only one I "made" so far (well I didn t really made them... just modified the ones already existing but the result is more than satisfying...)

    • I have no idea how long it will take for the CD to get to France, but the CD comes with most of the PoG graphics, I cannot remember what's missing from the CD, but I do remember mention of some items being missing. Check Trinity Unleashed too, it has extra graphics as well.

    • Most of the stuff that is missing is the more sci-fi futuristic stuff. Medieval graphics are very well represented, but if you're looking to do something a little more contemorary then you're probably in trouble. This is actually what has really bogged me down; I simply do not have the resources to make custom graphics that look even half-way decent, and since I'm trying to do something that is mostly indoors in a futuristic setting it has bottomed out. The futuristic people are also very small compared to the other items and such. Ah well. The Coldstone engine is pretty darn good (still a little buggy as of yet, but I'm sure Beenox will clean it up) so I plug very very very slowly along.
