New Darkfall dev diary vid talks art direction, Unholy Wars adjustments


So Darkfall 1.0 has come & gone, as Aventurine has officially closed the servers in preparation for the Unholy Wars reboot. The firm has also released a five-minute dev diary video featuring creative lead Adam Oikonomopoulos, who talks at length concerning the game's art direction updates & AV's expanded creative vision.

The video boasts a bunch of fly-by way of shots that show off Agon's new textures, higher polygon counts, & improved shaders, a number of of which are a marked improvement over the originals (that date back to the game's genesis in 2002 in a lot of instances).

Oikonomopoulos also mentions that Unholy Wars and the original Darkfall are set "many hundred years apart," which accounts for much of the adjustments in each the landscape and the Darkfall Unholy Wars gold game's architecture.
