Zeror Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) Just something I wonder after reading the update about the acquisition of jROSE's assets. Aren't you afraid that some models are too strange in relation to the theme of ROSE? That is something that always bothered me after seeing screenshots and such from jROSE. Edited February 1 by Zeror
Luckystriike Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I do agree on that, not all of it fits the games style.
loginchar Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) The Karkia planet that Japan Rose made is pretty much unusable - it's that poor and bad quality. So it was very surprising to see lazypenguin mention it and hype the playerbase over it. That wasn't a good decision imo. Reading the announcement post back again, I hadn't noticed how much AI written text there were. Pretty funny. Edited February 1 by loginchar
lazypenguin Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Sure, we have no plans of including EVERYTHING but will be picking and choosing the best things that make the most sense. Even with Karkia we wouldn't copy and paste the existing maps but leverage some of the good components to compose our own versions. We've already made changes to almost all the new things we've imported such as fixing meshes, cleaning up textures, etc. That's why the process will take some time! 5

What good components are there from the Karkia map data? The maps are dull, brown and mostly use Junon planet objects. The non-Junon objects like the church and manor-house look poor. I'm not entirely convinced you looked at the map data before you made your announcement.

Looking at it with a critical eye certainly can't hurt. Futuristic things don't fit in the world of ROSE for example.
Bobbity Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM Not sure you quite get the vibe of Karkia. It's magitek, for the most part.
Vile Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM (edited) jRose's Karkia is an insult to the lore of the game, and is probably my biggest complaint out of all version of ROSE, both official and private. I would strongly advise that you consider if you actually want to put that low quality mess out, as a new "featured" planet. Tell you what, I'll even put forward an offer to volunteer my time towards the design and asset creation of Karkia, if it's needed in order to put out something that is actually of quality. As yes, I also concur that some of the items in jRose are out of place. That also somewhat goes towards items in NA as well, but it's too late to remove those now. I'm still positioned against releasing things that violate the lore and style of the game though. Edited Thursday at 11:34 PM by Vile 1
