@Mornmagor The screenshots that were posted (and then removed) some time ago showed that Adventure Y uses the existing character sprites. They also showed some areas that were in BG1. I am almost certain that Beamdog will also create entirely new areas, as they have already done so in BG:EE and BG2:EE.
It looked from the screenshots that were up briefly that at least one area from Baldur's Gate city is being used, but it was changed...I would assume they would be doing all new art for the backgrounds...after all Dragonspear Castle isn't in the original game

Until it turns out that it looks remarkably like the Friendly Arm Inn, Gnoll Fortress, the D'Arnise Stronghold, Durlag's Tower, or Watcher's Keep

That made me snort! My wife is looking at me funny now.
The closest thing we have to a release date is (hopefully) sometime in the 2nd half of 2015.
So any talked-about reveal during 'late spring' would consist of more details and general info at most, with actual release not to be expected before fall/winter this year. It's good to see an estimation, but it does put Adventure Y a disenheartening distance away.

And then there are the unknown knowns. Things we don't know that we know. Believe me, I run into more of those the further I get in life.

But how do i unsubscibe this horror of a thread??
I am just kidding, of course
Shorty Gazebo companion confirmed.
Are they going to use 3D artists to create whole new areas? Or they will re-use some of the previous in BG1 and BG2?
Also, the art assets for the character models will come from the existing ones as well, or are they using some newly done sprites like the new areas?
Not sure how cost effective would it be, IF they used the same resolution as the current ones are. Not something HD.
Just something... newer i guess? A bit better to the eye maybe? Something like that.
What I can tell you is that I'm going to be ridiculously busy with voice actors for the next few weeks.
errr....
