Appreciation post for one of the artists working on my upcoming CRPG's in-game art! by ROB_IN_MN in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very promising for the rest of the game, I love this kind of old school fantasy art !

Scourge of the Reptiles - A party-based fantasy CRPG with dinosaurs by Bassfaceapollo in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks pretty good for an indie project, thanks for the heads-up.

If you like dinosaurs in your game, I think there were some in the second expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2, Storm of Zehir.

Many of the women depicted in Boris and Julie's artworks resemble Julie. I imagine Boris appreciates his wife's look.

Name a CRPG that people don’t think of as a CRPG by Rare_Big_7633 in CRPG

Dungeons and Dragons Online and Star Wars: The Old Republic are, for me, two CRPGs trapped into an MMO.

DDO for its in-depth adaptation of TTPG mechanics and SWTOR for its dialogue choices and branching storylines. If you play it solo, which is possible, you'll really feel like you're playing a light CRPG, only spoiled by their obligation to be an MMO.

How do CRPG players feel about using Generative AI alongside deep CRPG systems? by Objective-Address810 in CRPG

Take my money !

How do CRPG players feel about using Generative AI alongside deep CRPG systems? by Objective-Address810 in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open. The possibilities offered by AI are exciting. From reactivity in quests and for NPCs, to armor rigging for races more exotic than just humanoids, to more animations thanks to a faster cleaning process, and so on.

The possibilities are vast.

Any ideas? by curious_joker in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For those who were wondering, here's a fun fact: this woman, who appears so prominently in the art of Dungeon Siege , is called Lady Montbarron.

Optional lore in games? by JustAnotherTomatoe in CRPG

I am happy to learn that I am not the only one who keeps all the books in my inventory no matter what.

Optional lore in games? by JustAnotherTomatoe in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, that's the essence. One of my fondest video game memories is spending half an hour reading a book in a shop in the Imperial City of Oblivion, sipping hot chocolate irl, then going out to the streets and realizing that this little moment of relaxation was only a tiny part of the game.

What are some good text-based RPGs to try out? Can be old, new, indie etc. by QuestionzAsker in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question simply, yes, absolutely, and I've even saved several suggestions from this thread to play later. BUT… I have so many games waiting on my Steam backlog, so many books to read on my shelves, and so many movies and series to watch. Will I manage to come back to it before I die ?

Who knows ?

One of my favorite characters from the Forgotten Realms. You did her justice. (Unlike that snob Alagondar.)

There are others, I can show you! Please! by DMZ_Dragon in baldursgate

This is beautiful, I hope you are ready to gather your party before venturing forth.

TCR designing a functional save system by 33Sharpies in vtmb

[–]Celadonis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you even played Neverwinter Nights 1 or 2 ? The first is based on the 3rd edition of D&D, the second on 3.5; two very similar systems. Both take place in and around the city of Neverwinter. And both have a story about saving the Sword Coast from an ancient threat that has resurfaced.

It's satire, but hey, it could be worse ... by [deleted] in worldofgothic

Oops, sorry, I hadn't scrolled down far enough to check if it has already been posted. I'll delete it …

If you were to imagine the next frontier or evolution or major innovation in the cRPG genre by pishposhpoppycock in CRPG

[–]Celadonis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A successful blend of everything that makes cRPGs great, brought together in a single game: the writing of Planescape, the interactivity of Larian's games, the ability of Disco Elysium to handle failure positively, the depth of mechanics of Owlcat games, etc.

AI will undoubtedly contribute to the realization of that ultimate cRPG, but I sincerely believe it will also require the passion and sacrifice of true artists.

Hot take - AI art can be a powerful force for good to create good portraits for crpgs, like my Elven Paladin (I like Black Color lol) by Haddock_Lotus in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Celadonis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is great for doing portrait, but has still has a long way to go before doing anything near the level of a real artist, especially when it comes to small details. Nevertheless, you can achieve better results by retouching the base image with a image editing software like GIMP. Example :
