[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="153" id="2642095"] And Tuco, if you've seen Dwarf Fortress, you know that there are gamers that genuinely don't care about graphics. They aren't fanboyz, or sheep...they just know the worth of a solid gameplay experience.[cut] Don't hold back your criticism of the game, but try not to criticize other forum goers Thanks!

In fact, I love the "illustrative style". I've even just posted an early concept screenshot praising its visual style. Which isn't coming in the game anymore, sadly. What i don't like are very bad polygonal models (starting with the Sovereigns himself), human units in the beta, and very b

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="130" id="2638997"]Sorry esrever, I wasn't meaning to address you quite so specifically. What I am trying to address is the general question of the graphical style. We don't like the tendancy of these types of games to be littered with "stuff". We prefer having a cleaner look both from a game play point of view as well as aesthetically.[/quote] Well, let's be honest. This was one your very early concept screens: <img src="http://www.1up.c

What's wrong with you? No one here is putting graphics before gameplay but we were speaking about the graphics engine and the overall looking of the game, so your priority list is pointless here.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="81" id="2637245"] Well, EWoM's gfx/art style is quite unique, that's a fact....it's not for "everyone". Some people surely won't like it. Personally I like the art style, however....gameplay > gfx. So, why do you care at all?[/quote] Cause I always care about how a good game looks, and, by the way, speaking about good gameplay you are just changing subject.

Reply to Elemental: Kumquat Graphics Engine in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

To be honest I really don't like most of the graphics so far, especially human units. I was wondering how much of this is placeholder and how much is pretty much final. P.S. I'm not talking about these screenshots up there, I'm referring to all new screenshots availbale today, even on IGN preview.

[quote who="Savyg" reply="48" id="2629549"]I think we'll see the distribution market shift a bit now that they're plastering Mac feature ads all over. I just made my last Steam purchase unless something changes there.[/quote] Well, actually I think this will just make their position stronger. They are going on a virgin videogame market where customers are kinda of happy to throw away money for cool stuff. And they are planning Steam on Linux too, which

Reply to GPG to use Steam for Kings and Castles in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I have far less problems with Steamworks than with that unbelievable pile of shit called Games for Windows Live, so it's ok for me. Sorry for Stardock, by the way. maybe they must try to push Impulse Recator more strongly, almost fiercely. OR they can try to look for a collaboration with Valve, finding a way which allows them to offer Steamwork-based titles.

We are just talking about graphics so I will take my chance to ask... 3d models (scouts, soldiers, sovereigns, etc) are placeholders or they will be mostly the same in the final game? Cause I must admit I don't like them very much.... Well, i don't like them at all actually.
