    Just click on the star next to the thread title. It should be yellow if you are subscribed, then either blue or white when you unsubscribe.

    Shorty Gazebo companion confirmed.

    I had a technical question, if someone has any idea.

    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.

    @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 :p

    That made me snort! My wife is looking at me funny now.

    Why would anyone unsubscribe from this glorious thread?

    I can't imagine...I can't believe this thread hasn't gone viral to the general internet populace!

    From the fact thread:

    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.

    While we're pretty close to being done, we're putting a cap on any official news or unofficial leaks until we're ready to announce.

    What I can tell you is that I'm going to be ridiculously busy with voice actors for the next few weeks.

    How about red herrings? Can you give us some of those to occupy the thread for a few weeks? :wink:

    Oh great. Now it's going to be fish this, fish that. But at least we can stop talking about gazebos and start talking about ga-SEA-bos. :neutral:

    HAH!

    Well, I now know that Edwin is making an appearance. I've never used him, but he's supposedly great...
