That whale is AWESOME! 

Thank you Frodo :-)

That was one fantastic looking whale, surely he is the Prince of Whales (), and a great, great picture! I suddenly had a flashback to the first time I witnessed the classic 1956 film version of Moby Dick, at the tender age of 10 or 11. It took a firm grip of my imagination and interest, and has never let go!

I was just wondering whether this picture is a still, taken from an animated cut scene, or if it is a standalone piece? Regardless it is a work of art..!

hehe! that's a funny remark, and we do need some funny whale quotes for the game..hmm...
but no, this is a pic from the demo, only a still. If I could animate with that kind of render quality I'd be up there with DIsney and Pixar I think :-) , and just rendering one still like this takes about 2-3 hours of render time

Those animated movies usually need many network farms of computers to generate all that high end 3d, it all takes an enormous amount of computing power and time,, Im just a happy wannabe amateur

Yep :-) thanks!

a little update, the man hating whale! :O

Frodo, thanks! we will let you know :PP

The new images are as stunning as ever! And the news concerning the game being 60 percent complete, REALLY got my blood going!

I just wondered about the status and progress of the demo, could we hope for it to be released in early spring, perhaps..

Nah, it'll be ready in a month or so! :-)

Thank you so much Lasca! :-)

as for game progress; all screens and backgrounds are now done, and we've only got animation and sprites left.
Still working hard on programming and coding the game, but we're making great progress,, the game is probably 60 percent done!

Thank you Nightfable,and likewise, I hope the game is going well!

Here's a little update, the ghost house and some messy dwarves;

Thank you

finished the first of the two covers for the game,

and yeah, Smaug; I know there is a moat around Daventry castle, I guess it's still there, under the snow :-)

Happy new year from the Unicorn Tales team!

The pic compression is pretty horrible though, here are some better res.;

Thanks! The demo will be ready in the beginning of 2013.

Here's a little greeting from the team;








and a romantic shot of Rosella and Edgar;

Very VERY good to see that the project is moving steadily towards a demo release! And the new backgrounds are, as always, quite astonishing in their beauty!
Even with the vines, and the stable to the left, I get a kind of John Howes Orthanc feeling about the first castle picture. Which, of course, is a VERY good thing..!!!

yeah, those pieces are probably my all time faves among fantasy art; the Lotr concept and painted landscapes. A lot of it is also mixed in with photographic elements which makes it appear photo realistic. Some really stunning backdrops and landscapes in those movies, especially the fairy folk and their villages are really nice,


Tabata; hmm,,as for the castle,, I think I might fade down the 'halo' around those towers a bit, the glow there is a little too much, you're right,
thanks again for being so observant!! :-)

Thank you! that means a lot!

a little update on the game, (still working hard to get the demo out soon),


the castle of Lolotte and the swamp,

:-))

a test render of a beach,, (the grass in the back isn't done), but it's.. deadly boring..
any c&c or suggestions are welcome!... :-)

Heee haw!,. .thank you Smaug! heheh

and sure, I will let you know Splat, thanks for that

a few updates;

Hi, sorry for the late reply!, haven't been here in a while,

yes, we are still going strong, but the summer turned out to be somewhat of a...yes, vacation:), so there has been a temporary stop in production.
Mostly all work is done for the demo, but sadly it takes time to program it all, and since I only do art, sound and animation, everything needs to be checked and synchronized via email correspondence, and that takes time too, so yeah, it might still take a couple of months Im afraid

Thanks! It's not ready quite yet, but hopefully in a month or two.

Just a few screens, (the deserted island with some tweaked puzzles),

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, the old VGA and pixel graphics were really charming and beautiful in their own right,
taking that into consideration it makes the compliments even better I think,, heheh
It won't be long now till we release our first test demo, and I hope we'll get some constructive criticism for that one so we can make the final release even better.

Thanks!, that's really nice to hear. I know not everyone is crazy about amateur 3d, but I suppose people in here are slowly getting a bit more liberal as to AGS 3d graphics:)
