I'll just leave it here.

Alright, it's been quite some time since Project Redmoor was put on hold, and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it work as it was originally intended. Thus I've been thinking of re-building the whole thing from a scratch, but on much smaller scale. Like only one, yet diverse chunk of a city. For now it's just an idea, but who knows... Sincerely yours, A.

Let the experiment begin... Can't just sit on my hands. Can't fix certain problems with Dishonored CC either. So why not try something else...

[le-jeune-corbeau]

Bad news, ladies and gentlemen. Yours faithful has run into some serious performance issues that have pretty pretty much killed the project in its current state. Thus far, being unable to overcome this most unfortunate obstacle, I am forced to announce that project is put on hold and might, as much as I hate to admit it, require a total rework.

Something went terribly wrong...

Almost there, just have to place smoke effects in playable areas. And I guess it's high time to clarify what exactly you'll get with the early release. First, the world itself consists of several separate playable areas. The number of these districts at the moment is 5. Most of the city consists of decorations and is non-routable, except for several streets connecting the abovementioned playable areas. Second, there are currently 39 lots, but they contain only the ground floor walls that should give you the general idea of what kind of building is meant to be there. Feel free to experiment with them. Third, early release contains only half of the city. The other half is temporarily represented by placeholders, which can be seen on third screenshot. Fourth, there's no distant terrain as of yet. I shall, of course, make one, but later. Lastly, do not expect any miracles, as it leads to disappointment. Sincerely yours, A.

Working on unplayable areas, estimated time is still uncertain due to tight schedule and unstable condition.

Have to leave the city for a while. Work on Project Redmoor is temporarily put on hold.

Sincerely yours, A.

Now, to finish decorating unplayable areas, put placeholders on the other side of the river, add some smoke effects where it's required — and the Northside is ready for the playtesting. Please be advised that, because of number of objects on map, this won't work as smoothly as I'd like it to.

Sincerely yours, A.

The Old Port District

I am happy to finally present the last playable area on the North Side -- the Old Port district, comprised mostly of slums and old factories, thus being the worst place to live in the entire city. As if it wasn't enough, an unknown disease has spread throughout the area, killing residents and forcing the city council to authorise local lockdown.

[le-jeune-corbeau]

Just in case: I'm planning to release a very raw (yet playable) version of Redmoor by the end of August. First, because I won't finish it any sooner than in a year. Second, because I want to see if people like the concept itself. The exact terms, however, are yet to be seen.

Sincerely yours, A.

Back to work...

Just in case: no updates are to be expected 'till the end of this month, need to get my thoughts straight.

Sincerely yours, A.

Musical stuff

I've most unfortunately failed to make a set out of what I've done by now, so I'll be releasing it like that.

So, we're happy to present our top of the line Model 1852 clavier, handcrafted by the best masters of Dunwall. Its strict design and perfect sound are sure to please your eyes and ears. Or, if you're not a good musician or simply can't afford it, but still want to enjoy music at home, we've just the thing for you: Model 1837 audiograph player manufactured by AudioLog, the best of its kind in this part of the Empire.

I seem to have survived after all, although not without consequences. Nevertheless, I've made some progress.
