A small collection of controversies erupted late last week over the issue of Shroud of the Avatar pledge gifting. In case you’ve missed what’s going on or are confused by it, here’s my attempt at a primer on the situation.
Scott “Lum” Jennings posted a couple of pictures to the Shroud of the Avatar forums showing a number of the development team’s Avatars having an in-game meet-up.
A new Update of the Avatar has been posted to the Shroud of the Avatar site. Topics this week include Release 2 Perspectives from the Portalarium team, the Pantheon cross-promotion, Hearts of Britannia, new Founder Rewards, Stretch Goals, and Founder Pledge Gifts. And of course, a new Blade of the Avatar chapter is out.
The latest piece of the map of Novia, the setting of the first Shroud of the Avatar game, has been revealed. And with it, a town has disappeared from the island.
Starting today, there’s a new cross-promotion going on between Shroud of the Avatar and Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, which is an MMORPG from Visionary Realms currently trying to raise money via Kickstarter.
A new stretch goal, of sorts, has been announced in Shroud of the Avatar’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign.
The most recent Hangout of the Avatar on Google+ focused on multiplayer-related topics, and gave us a bit more understanding as to how multiplayer in Shroud of the Avatar will work.
Rustic Dragon offers an explanation as to why the Telethon of the Avatar prizes have not been sent out yet.
Holt Ironfell of the Poet’s Circle Guild (it’s a Shroud of the Avatar thing) has announced “Hearts of Britannia”, a love poetry submission contest. RIchard Garriott, among others, is one of the judges…and so can be one of the recipients.
Richard Garriott wants to help David “Iolo” Watson reach 500 followers, and may even commission a second musical piece from him if he can hit this goal.
