Re: The Evil Chronicles
It is time. Time to bring news to the masses. Time to indulge the minds of the people in what is to be known as 'A Pledge to Evil', a mod by Volf and his team.
Picture this.
An old, run down warehouse somewhere in Finland. Old wooden walls look weary of supporting the weight of the weather worn roof and its inhabitants. The once glistening and proud wood faded to but a shadow of its former self.
Inside the warehouse, a group of people are busy. Bustling. Frantic. Dedicated.
In one corner sits Xenast. Pounds of clay surrounds his figure, half molded into golems, goblins, lizards, worms, werewolves, anything that takes his fancy as he busts out his creations in the monster world. U47 and Reiyo Oki squabble harmlessly over the shape of a weapon, melding it it to their will, giving it their unique touch as they have with hundreds before and surely thousands more in the future. Hygiliak stands by another wall, madly waving a wand about before throwing it against a wall where it bursts into a bunch of daffodils. He takes a deep breath and starts flinging ninja stars all over the place, adept in the creation of new and improved skills. WhatNot has the shadowy corner. There he musters his troop of spies and sends them to and fro to gather information from the team so he can inform the masses as to updates on the wonder that will be the mod. Kiwivagrant sits at a desk, writing frantically on his pad, and desk, and walls, and floor, and the lamp, and whoever may get too close.
And then there is him. Old one-eye. Odin. The all-seeing. We call him Volf.
He stands in the middle of the warehouse, whip in one hand and world shaper in the other. Woodchips in his hair, dust on his clothes. Belting out new lands and dungeons while at the same time keeping his troops in line. Legend. Savior.
Of course, we aren't all in the same warehouse although that would be kind of fun. Just gives you an idea of who is involved and what they are doing to assist Volf.
Many of you may have played the CCM series that Volf has released as he has plugged away at what was going to be 'Volf Mod'. Unfortunately the Volf Mod project ceased due to technical difficulties, basically a blown hard drive.
Volf reassessed the situation and decided to plan a better mod. One that would include his old stuff and have alot more. Completely new sub quests, over 4000 uniques, new monsters, new areas, new towns, new dungeons, new weapons.
He decided he would form a team and do it properly. And so now we have come to the first of many updates that will be posted here on Phrozen Keep. They won't be regular affairs but we can guarantee you that with the pace the team is working they will be many and frequent.
So, where do we start. Just a little nibble at what is to come.
The town of Stronghold has always been a staging point for battles against the undead that frequesnt the area. Legend has it that a Vampire Slayer was defeated after many victories and the demon who slayed him is back, and is very hungry. Rumour also has it that the Vampire Slayer that was slain himself possessed powerful artifacts that have been missing for an age. Maybe they still exist. Maybe.
This is the beginning of A Pledge to Evil, we won't tell you more as it will be giving it away, but Stronghold is a new town and will be the first place you arrive. We are looking at changing speech, sub quests, monsters, basically the whole works to give the mod a unique flavour and bring something new to the masses.
We have decided to make it difficult. Runewords, Recipies etc will need to be discovered in the game through various means (at least six different ways at the moment), and they may also be given in any stories we release at a later date. Uniques are coming along nicely and we are aiming at around 4000 of them. All the new item types (shuriken for example) will have unique counterparts. Rumours of special items that can be found are running rife through the warehouse. Items that can be upgraded by using special ingredients.
So keep an eye out on this thread and the updates, Links to pictures and information will also be posted here.
Many thanks for your time, and we hope you will enjoy the updates as we enjoy updating the mod.
