Looks like he had a run in with a WoW shadow priest ;)

I like the name change to Elder a lot. Very H. P. Lovecraft, and that portrait is fantastic. I just showed it to some friends and they had very positive reactions to it.

I think this is a very good call.

Nice to see Heavy Cat knocking it out of the park like this.

I'm loving Elder so far as well.

Heavy cat are definitely knocking it out of the park.  Check out some of these actual in-game enemies (not concept art this time).

Wasn't there a specific number a frames AVWW1 used for monsters? Those seem to have more variety in number.

Yeah, usually more like 20ish or so. But it's not about quantity, it's about quality. Also, there are techniques for using the same frame multiple times in a cycle, and we're doing that sort of thing. Plus the first game had single-frame animations for anything that wasn't running of flying, and we now have multi frame animations for attacks and so on.

Oh man that's great stuff.

This is going to hit so many people that wrote AVWW off from left field (to continue the baseball analogies :P ).

Some of those are quite creepy looking. I like it.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

It's coming along pretty well, I see. I like that Land Octopus quite a bit.

Random question: Will multiplayer be available in the beta? I've been considering giving AVWW to a friend as an Xmas gift.

It will be there. It probably won't work perfectly out of the gate, but, it's a good bit further along than we had planned, so it will be there. (Unless that's changed in the last couple days...)

Multiplayer worked pretty well in my tests a few days ago, so unless something bizarre happens between now and beta it will be available from the start.

It may do strange and wonderful things, however ;)
