Shroud of the Avatar – Update of the Avatar #230

Greetings Fellow Avatars! Now while I will not be discussing or talking about the “equity crowdfunding”, that Portalarium is pursuing, I will say this. Review their financials and business plan,  and set aside all emotions you have. We do however have 2 scene updates for you. Please enjoy.

Here’s what we have for you in this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar:


Boreas Colossus Scene (Unclone)

[From a Dev+ Forum Post by Travis “Vas Corp Por” Koleski]

We continue our development of the Colossus scenes with a sneak peek of the second scene, Boreas Colossus! Currently in-game is the Oracle Colossus scene we covered in a recent video in last week’s Update #227. We hope to have the following Boreas Colossus scene in Release 43:

Once again, having taken to the field, I, Earl Greyhot, bring you a first hand account of my extensive travels. This journey has brought me to the site of the Colossus of Boreas. A sleepy fog has taken hold of the mountainside and it begins to rain as I make my way through the many trials necessary to reach the giant statue itself.

I came across strange architecture and flora around every corner…

Today I caught a glimpse of the Colossus itself!

I made camp by the edge of the valley and prepared myself for the trials to come tomorrow…

We hope to have Boreas Colossus introduced into the game in Release 43. I will continue to document my progress of the scene up to the statue!

Libris Ruins Scene Update

[From a Dev+ Forum Post Update by Esteben “SorcerousSteve” Zaldivar]

Hey guys! SorcerousSteve here to give you an update on the Making of Libris Ruins. We first introduced this scene in last week’s Update #229.

To start, here is a look at the ancient prison which consists of three cell blocks and numerous enclosures, torture chambers, and of course traps:

Sky cells are located high up on the cliffs overlooking the Libris Ruins where the most notorious criminals would be brought.
