Yes, I said “Happy Christmas” — not only am I wishing you all my greetings as the weekend of Ukrainian Christmas dawns, but I’m chanelling my inner Irishman as well. Ukrainian and Irish all at once — it’s a wonder I’m ever sober!

At any rate, as a little “gift from us to you” on this weekend, I’ve posted a dozen new screenshots of a mountain range in Lost Sosaria that I’ve been working on lately. They can be viewed in the sidebar of the site.

The mountain tileset that we are using now is, in some ways, not as versatile as previous iterations of the idea that have been released for NWN. On the other hand, in some ways it is quite superior, especially where vertical scale is concerned. The mountains are towering giants now, which is how it should be. They’re a little bit harder to navigate, on the other hand, and building areas requires a bit more advance planning, as well as a goodly deal of care. But the tradeoff is worth it.

And in another month or so, it will be even more worth it; a new version of the mountain tileset is being released, and it looks immensely promising.

So, at any rate, Happy (Ukrainian) Christmas, O Reader. Enjoy the screenshots, and feel free to offer your feedback on the look of the game thus far!
