A test of many (01)

Here's an early test for Sanctuary of the Dead (DV-D).

Expanding the Model Library

Been a bit caught up working on a converter script to bring Thanatos models into KalOnline. Since Inix already pulled in quite a few themselves, it made sense to go that route instead of spending extra time modeling and texturing everything from scratch for the assets i need.

In total, I’ve converted about 3,076 models (with minor issues like alpha maps not applied) and can now start working on Sanctuary of the Dead (DV-D), Altar of Holiness (DV-E) and other zones.

Thanks to ASN for providing the client to me.

Here are some screenshots of dungeons you might already recognize. (No Lightmap)

Bringing It All Together

Over the years, Inix has created many scattered islands, this rough sketch serves as a roadmap to bring the majority of them into the mainland.

Different viewpoints

Emberlight Camp

Fires burn low beneath the trees, casting warmth over worn tents and quiet earth. Offering a brief peace to those passing between the cliff and the war below.

Blackstone Port

At the foot of the castle cliffs, Blackstone Port rests in silence, ships arriving at dusk, their flags whispering in the wind. Miners step onto the docks without words, vanishing into the mountain’s mouth, and once, a boy named Jun returned alone, carrying a blade of black glass, quiet in his hands, as if it had been waiting for him all along.

The Silent Fields

At the edge of the island, the fields are wide and quiet. Stone statues stand scattered among the grass, some broken, some whole. No one knows who placed them, but the ground holds a stillness that feels old.

Bound by Golden Leaves

A glowing Yellow Tree stands by Geum Oh Castle, born from a phoenix’s tear. It holds ancient power and seals darkness beneath its golden leaves. Many seek its blessing, but only the worthy are chosen.

Sleepy Hollow

A cursed burial ground hidden in Devah, this forsaken place is haunted by ancient souls and restless undead. Shadows cling to forgotten tombs, guarding secrets lost to time.

Geum-Oh Mine Castle

Beyond Geum-Oh Mine Castle, a peaceful city rests on the cliff’s edge, open to the sky and the wind. Lanterns glow along stone paths, and travelers find rest among kind faces. Yet even here, the air hums with quiet stories only the cliffs remember.

The Elemental Scourge

Half of the ruined City of Priests was destroyed and overtaken by wild forces. Elemental monsters roam the dense forest where sacred grounds once stood. A worn path leads through the chaos to the Tower of Priests, where the most sacred guardian awaits. Few enter, and fewer return.

Path to the Verdant Unknown

Near the Pub of the Giant Bird, they dug too deep, blinded by greed or lured by a forgotten will. Beneath the sacred land, they awakened what was sealed long ago.

A forgotten passage.

Beyond the castle in Narootuh lies a new area accessible only through a collapsed cave system. Though it gave way not long ago, a path still remains. Tread carefully, for danger still lingers.
