Thanks to our amazing pre-alpha testers, we have added some new screenshots to the Pantheonmmo.com home page and media page. This includes some spooky shots of skeletons and the ruins, just in time for Halloween.
Check them out on the website and Happy Halloween from Pantheon!
Maybe its just because its Halloween... but these kind of seem like a response to the criticism of the art style change. That said... these were needed! The Hand-Painted style can indeed be dark and gritty. People calling it Cartoony are idiots, just wanting to bash something and complain for attention until they get their way. Such is the modern world...
I like showcasing the use of fog and different lighting. Those saying that the previous screenshots looked like a mobile game were not completely baseless. Mobile games that use the hand-painted style tend to look cheap due to sacrificing game objects and texture amounts due to resource limitations. Fog and non-static lighting do help fill out scenes more. I hope to see this dialed up more in the future as you figure out what you can get away with in Unity.

Our first round of screenshots were daytime and bright, we want to show the night and the gloom. Halloween is just an excellent excuse. :)
The problem isn't the day or night.
It's the fact that it looks unrealistic, exaggerated in terms of textures, proportions and coloring. Imagine if Bloodborne were done in the art style of Kingdom Hearts.
I've been a lurker for a long time and a 300 dollar supporter. Patiently waiting, for what? for this?
