Welcome to the mountain!

So lately its been all quiet from the Blaze Softworks camp.
...
...
Yeah, that's my fault, I got a job and I've not had time to shout at everyone!
So without further delay, lets get into what we've left you guys out on.

  • Shifts in roles!
         Although we're not known to be the most professional of companies ~(We're hardly known at all)~, we still like to have a set layout for work. So we've shook the story structure up and moved some people around. So Ant who previously was a writer on the story is now chief battle system designer. We're still working on getting him a hat for this role, stay tuned. I, Ash, now have full control over the story and we took a collaborative decision to change from the 3 story layout to an open world type of story, allowing for more character development and player choice.

  • Latest Developments
          Well i've been chugging along where i can with the story, and i present to you some draft work for the Dwarven halls of VIREN FORTRESS!
the dwarves lead you through a huge stone corridor, wide enough to fit 10 Oxen side by side, and then some! As you move forward the large stone gates crash shut behind you, leaving only the dim torches to light your path as you traverse the gargantuan hallway. As you reach the end of the hallway you come to an arch, leading you into a warmly lit courtyard. the grey stone floors were well lit and had a warm red glow to them from the hearty braziers and hearths dotted around the courtyard.


‘Wow...’ Aija gasped, taken back by the beauty of the mountain city, the architecture was astounding, the dwarves were always famed for their craftsmanship and sharp designs, but never did she imagine it would be this beautiful.
‘Its amazing, i’ve never seen anything like this!’ Aija  exclaimed,


‘Aye, Dwarven architecture at its finest. What you’re seeing is just the outer court of the city-fortress of Viren. We’re a proud race, but damned I say. High priest Cairne thinks Calculen smiles out of his arse, but we’ll see. One day! By Rathen’s beard We’ll see.’ the dwarf captain trailed off into angry muttering at this point.
 So yes, that's all very thrilling and all that! Gaz is still working on the engine, banging his head against the wall of buggy code he's created. I'm sure he's okay...


So all in all, we've been okay. We survive as we do! So as always,

Be prepared
