Is Vicking supposed to be Viking?

Otherwise that is way cooler than the older versions

,

Will there be kingdoms on this one too... or will it just be like Graal Classic with guilds?
---------
And how will you annouce the release to the VIP members? =x

Christian · #3 01-06-2003, 01:11 AM

hm *screens looks interesting*
How can we chat in graal3d?
and will there be pms?
Will it run windowed?

That looks nice but it is kinda dark on some of the screenshots and you can not see more of the town/place well. But it is good so far. What characters can you choose from?

Though there is some words that you didn't spell right like Vicking. I think you should put Viking and the last picture that you are going to attack the town. It doesn't have a good sentence. I think you should put it like 'The viking came to attack the town'

It doesnt matter what it says just ****. Anyway it looks great. You did alot better job on this than on the old Graal3d =X. It was fun but the graphics were HORRIBLE.

unixmad · #6 01-06-2003, 01:24 AM

In French we say Vicking, but i have corrected for english reader -

That's really the first screenshots to show you a little bit what we plan to do.

This screenshots are for Graal Kingdoms 3D, but we plan to do later a version more comics style for Graal Classic.

CheeToS2 · #7 01-06-2003, 01:27 AM

I like it

.. but I don't think I can afford VIP

Christian · #8 01-06-2003, 01:27 AM

Unixmad,
I noticed that there is no gfx for the Graal3D ScreenButton
on http://www.graalonline.com/modules.p...ery&file=index
so I made a little one

AlexH · #9 01-06-2003, 01:31 AM

It's nice.
Should bring lots more people to Graal.
With the wide variety of sever types available to people there should be at least something for everyone.
What kind of date do we have for a playable demo?

Zurkiba · #10 01-06-2003, 01:35 AM

Are the controlls going to be similiar to Counterstrike?

WSDA are movement
Ctrl is duck
Click is fire
Space is jump

etc?

BlKnight · #11 01-06-2003, 01:35 AM

No offense, I mean nice work and all, but people looking for this type of 3D game will play Graal over Everquest why exactly?

Oh god I hope not.
They shhould definetly be editable whatever they are.
I like my arrow keys.
Or a joystick support would be nice.

I agree 900%.

cloudstrifevii · #15 01-06-2003, 01:43 AM

Do we have to buy VIP to play it? I mean come on I just payed 40 dollars to get my account upgraded again and now I have to pay more money? The prices have raised a good 20 dollars since p2p opened. I dont know about everyone else but I think thats crazy. I still have 238 days left on my account and I dont want to leave it.

kenyonandelliot · #16 01-06-2003, 01:47 AM

I think you can still play it if your in a gold account though. Because VIP is half of what gold account is plus we already can access the servers like Kingdoms and Bomy Moon.

Also I don't like those battles on final fantasy that much. I like the graal ones and you don't have to take turns fighting. For graal you just fight and if you miss tough.

Though I do not know what I am saying is correct. So don't think what I say is right.

Christian · #17 01-06-2003, 01:50 AM

hm
Real Time Fighting like in Gothic qould be nice..
oh and flying

(Hope that I can fly on a big dragon)

dlang · #18 01-06-2003, 01:53 AM

I cant wait O.o
its looks 1337 already.
^_^

Jourdan · #19 01-06-2003, 01:58 AM

Looks a bit too much like Everquest... But good work I suppose.
You'll probably want to lower the price of playing G3D, otherwise you'll just make people flock to Everquest. I know I'll probably quit playing/take a break from Graal once FFXI comes out. With the expansion of all these new online games, you'll probably want to think out a new stragety in P2P.

XI is the online version.
And I'm almost certain it's out in Japan.

Thank goodness. I hate games like that. I love cartoonish style games. Make it real cartoonish like the old graal3d

Jeff · #23 01-06-2003, 02:41 AM

Me, I'm all for realism, especially if you want to do a 3D version of classic.

As far as 3D games go, I generally like them to look at least as good as Neverwinter Nights.

Oh, by the way...will it support ATI Truform?

x-2 isnt 12, its a sequel to 10, and 11 is already out in japan I think

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #25 01-06-2003, 03:06 AM

That looks fantastic, and I don't have a doubt that it will be a good excperience to play, but there is one concern I have.

How long will it actually take to add the 3D Graal kingdoms?

Admins · #26 01-06-2003, 03:52 AM

At the beginning it will be based on team-fight,
it is planned that you can go into 3D mode for kingdom wars and take your equippement with you (bow, sword, axe, wand), but not in the first release.

tlf288 · #27 01-06-2003, 03:55 AM

So you play regular Graal Kingdoms while getting bows and such. Then when you get in a fight you challenge someone and goto Graal3D?

Other massibe multiplayer games are mainly one-player games where you see other players from time to time, while Graal is more based on communication and interaction between players.

Googi · #29 01-06-2003, 03:59 AM

...

Those screenshots look very un-graal-like.

tlf288 · #30 01-06-2003, 04:03 AM

Unixmad said they're working on cartoonish (well he said comics) style grahpics for other playerworld. And those will be the ones I will play. I dislike realistic graphics.

Rax · #31 01-06-2003, 04:19 AM

wow looks amazing and the body looks a little weird bow everything looks nice and this is going to get alot of ppl to sign up for gold once its out

AlkarenHyralt · #32 01-06-2003, 04:20 AM

I am reminded of Tribes. Too reminded of Tribes, to be exact.

Looking at that, my guess is that it is built on the Tribes 2 engine. In fact, I'm absolutely sure it is.

Birdbird_0 · #33 01-06-2003, 04:21 AM

*wants to do stuff with this engine*

*can't wait to do stuff*

*wants to make... stuff*

Rax · #34 01-06-2003, 04:25 AM

also I love that you have like different camera angles for like showing the character infront of you and a angle from what the character sees.also I think there should be a camera angle from the sky .I cant wait to see spell animatins and stuffin 3D

you and me both

I want to make eh eh with it!

tlf288 · #36 01-06-2003, 04:49 AM

Is it based off of the current Graal scripting language or is it a total new language?

Kuza · #37 01-06-2003, 05:20 AM

Graal is becoming another MMPORPG, losing its originality more and more.

The cartoon style and hack n' slash is what made Graal what it is. I don't see the point in steering away from that direction. The approach seemed to be working, Graal has got this far with it... *sigh*

Thak2 · #38 01-06-2003, 05:25 AM

I hope this game is pretty much all about bloody battles and skirmishes.

Giant, gory invasions. Limbs that can be chopped off, castles that can be completly destroyed, and stuff like that.

No repetitive jobs, just tonnes of action.

HoudiniMan · #39 01-06-2003, 05:40 AM

Name any graal server, past or present, where you lost limbs or there were excessive ammounts of blood

That would just make it another new game. not graal

draco5432 · #40 01-06-2003, 05:49 AM

Unbalivable, those graphics are outa this world. When this is released will it be a full screen game or normal window like it is now. And its hard to belive that graal has gone from little 2d graphics with comic like people to outstanding 3D graphics like that!!

Good job unixmad and everyone else that is working on this project.
