The RPC (Role-Play Convention) made a big step forward since the last year, particularly on Saturday the convention was very crowed and well attended. On Sunday, due to the sunny weather, most of the visitors were outside at the Medieval Fair, enjoying some RP-battles as well as some music provided by really cool German bands (excellent German beer was flowing).

From TCOS:

Hello TCoS Community members! Time for an update on this little project of ours called The Chronicles of Spellborn.

We have recently started the final tests for The Chronicles of Spellborn.

Beginning of last week, a new phase within the internal beta phases has been initiated with a brand new version of the game. Up to now these tests have performed very satisfactory, so that they can be expanded pretty soon to larger participants groups like enlisted community members. Server stress tests have been successfully completed by our team in Autumn already.

We start Dev Journals session of 2008 with a new Gamedesign Journal! This week's journal talks about how our designers put things from their mind to paper and how that eventually becomes something you can walk through in a digital world. Also, it starts a tale about the Green District of Quarterstone, which will be continued in the journals to come!

From Spellborn:

A well known fact about Spellborn is the non-stat armor and weapons. To make sure players can still customize, tweak and tune their fighting characteristics whichever way they like, we have a wide variety of Sigils. These can be collected from different sources in game like quests and loot.
Sigils are items with ‘magical effects’ which can be used when they are equipped one way or another. There are three types of sigils: Skill-, Jewelry- and Weapon sigils. I will handle the Jewelry- and Weapon sigils first as ‘item sigils’ and conclude with the Skill sigils.

From Spellborn:

"This all sounds pretty ‘easy’ and ‘plug and play’, but it’s a real tough nut to crack. Having relations between certain factors is fine, but you don’t want to end up in a straight jacket, where each change will alter so many other things, that the end result is nearly the same for the player, but simply with different numbers. Adding the right strings to the model and then pulling them the correct way is a delicate, complicated and thus time consuming task."
