Oh .. come on! These are not 13th century monks or nuns .. certainly not recluse anarchists who run around spilling the Nevervhere tech to fill their pockets. They are gate keepers who keep the gates to neverwhere tech so tightly shut that shut not even their kids can go through .. .such devotion of their whole lives to be totally devoid of vilainy and power hunger is to be appreciated.

Regarding the Templars, they are delusional. In real life, cultists will either throw their lives away for 'the cause' or will wake up one day and go through a very difficult and painful process as they realise how wrong they were leading to decades of emotional pain and suffering.

Grumpy Old Aussie ; It picked my attention, that you seem to think, that the Templars were a cult, (I'm talking now about historical facts)
For real they were an order, evolved from the Fransicanian Order inside the Catolic Church, they were highly trained,elite fighters, but still Monks and lived submited to the Vows of the Fransicanian Brotherhood, and as such they only responded to the Pope.

A slight misunderstanding easily cleared up. I actually admire the Templar Order of old. Their battle tactics were fascinating, and their business acumen second to none. They had strong religious convictions as did all the European Knightly Orders, that was common for the time. I think very highly of the original Templars and I don't see them as a cult at all.

However, I do agree with Defenestrator.for.traitor that the order in the game has become nothing more than a cult from what I have seen of them so far. Hundreds of years in the shadows does that.

Hey everyone,

this Dev Log will be shorter than the last ones since this week has been pretty normal.
No stories of me getting ill, hard disks dying, and so on. Sorry, not sorry. ;-)

Although the week was pretty busy with work (end/start of the month usually is) and a bit of family stuff, the progress on the game was still decent.
On the render side, I got 84 static renders and 1 more animation done.
Script-wise, I'm sitting at 1300 lines which means 199 new lines this week... damn, let me add a useless comment line somewhere real quick...

The total numbers are:
405 static renders
3 animations
1300 lines in the script file

We're getting closer to the main part of Chapter 5.
Next week I'm going to work on the 2... animation-heavy scenes that are left before we get to the main part.
And the Steam Next Fest starts on Monday. The demo has already been tested and released. I hope there won't be any errors with that version so I can focus on the Chapter 5 development.

That's it for today, have a nice weekend.

Cheers,
Ceolag

Hooray for normal weeks! As Ceolag said, he completed 84 static renders, 1 animation and 199 lines this week. That brings his overall average to ~91 statics, 0.7 animations, and 290 lines per week since work on Chapter 5 officially began. Here are the charts:

Relative to Chapter 4's development, it looks like we're ahead on statics and lines, but behind on animations. That's probably just a side effect of the type of art required by the scripts so I wouldn't read much into it unless the trend persists. Other than that, not much to say, progress has been pretty steady when computer hardware isn't exploding. That's always nice to see.

Very interesting previews. It's cool to see see Kate again, but again it's a surprising fit given the chapter title. I'm really curious to see how all of this will come together.
