The Wings of Dawn | Fifth Dragon's Arrival-! | Dev Update April 2024

Ойындар

This month we have been working on animations to complete our third playable dragon, the Kirin, new animations and sound effects. As the highlight of this video we have finished another backer skin, the £50 tier "Cosmic" crowdfunding backer skin and our fifth fully 3D modelled dragon Vitreus. This video is a mash up of all weekly development updates from April last month. You can follow our active weekly updates every Monday on our Discord server!

    OMGG!! Ok i got to say this-i LOVE that the town guards get a splash of color. It heals my soul. Many games, movies, and just plain media makes everything so grey and dark, when historically- things were colorful! Of courae this isnt a "historical" game, but i still think it's nice to see some color for the guards

    I literally pitched the same idea for a game to my boyfriend before I knew of this game, an idea I had in mind after other dragon games came onto the scene. Where it's not JUST dragons you play as or JUST survival, but an MMO with various, dynamic quests depending on your species or character such as farmer, black smith, knight, you name it. This is unreal to me that this is literally a thing. Maybe one day we can help you flesh out the game more. My boyfriend is an excellent 3D modeler and artist as am I. :)

    Why thank you! Dragons and humans are such an iconic theme with a huge library of stories about how humans interacted, feared and slayed dragons during medieval times. It is so weird that there are not really much games about them. If you are interested on developer position, send showcases of your work and work experience to "klackknight" on Discord!

    Hello here! I am one of the lead developers of The Wings of Dawn project. Our team do not use AI functions or programs to create images. In game terminology an "AI" or Artificial Intelligence to us means a "non-playable-character" (NPC) and is often referred to a character that is not a human or humanoid in design. The chitin armour was created by our talented concept artists Vittaerris. Our project lead team oversees the entire process of the creation and can confirm that there was no use of artificial intelligence during the creation of this or any of our concept art pieces.

    @@TheWingsOfDawnOfficial thank you both for replying, I had no doubts about the differences between AI art and AI in video games, nor the chitin armor being human-made as I love all of Vittaerris' work! I was only saying that I have a strong belief that the armor by Xandria is AI generated- the sketch and linework, not the color. They have many tell-tale signs of AI generation when zoomed in, I could explain more if needed. To clarify, I mean no ill-will towards you guys, and Xandria's coloring and painting is amazing, it just seems she may be using AI for linework. I have nothing but high hopes for your team and only want to see you guys grow and improve!

    @@serpentalis4919 I am slightly confused, may I ask clarification about what do you mean "tell-tale signs" of the useage of AI being present in Xandria's work? I would like to note that the image shown in the video is low resolution due to the video being compressed during the upload to KZread. So it is possible that compression can sometimes twist certain aspects of the image. However, I would like to hear in your own words what you mean by your claim.

    @@ShadzeriosFIN (sorry for the delay, final exams) yes of course, and I was also unsure if it was just compression so I downloaded the original file from Discord to make sure. The two main things that tip off an AI generated image is problems loading in tiny details and weird choices artists wouldn't normally make. For strange details, look up close at the chainmail (leather?) under the armor and its uncoordinated texture/blocky shapes on the thighs that don't make sense, and the main armor (on the helmet and chest piece most noticeably) the details are nonsensical and don't look like any real texture, just computer static and wobbly noise. You will see a similar messy, asymmetrical texture if you compare it to AI ornate armor pics. For unusual choices, look at the belt and how it 'melts' into the fabric, and how the bottom cloth has strange connecting lines where folds should (or shouldn't) be, plus the weird dangly bit that's only cleaned up at the very end for some reason. The bottom part of the scarf slowly morphs from fabric into a metal chest piece, and the shadow of the shoulder piece in the first image gets confused and turns into a random bit of metal for the rest of it (which would limit movement I imagine, and looks asymmetrical in the same way the knee pads do.) I wanted to see if this was at least a one-time thing for Xandria, so I checked other images she shared on the Discord, and two of them (the Klack knight and purple dragon) have similar issues in the linework when zoomed in. I highly suggest getting more opinions on this from your team and potentially speaking with Xandria about it.
