 he Silgrad Tower team is proud to present our teaser mod, entitled The Forgotten Garden. With it, we hope to give players hours of entertainment as well as an impression of what our full, future release will be like. A lot of us in the team pooled together to work on the teaser and we feel it represents the best of our work, ranging from quests and AI to voice work and models.
"The Forgotten Garden" offers new lands to explore, several fully voiced, unique characters and hundreds of new, handmade models. You'll get to explore new dungeons and work your way through new quests, and may even find yourself the owner of an estate with plenty of storage capabilities. Once you enter Morrowind, you'll notice many differences from Cyrodiil... pay keen attention to the rumors to learn the lay of this new land. Below is a selection of screenshots from our teaser mod. For more screenshots and information please see our BSG release thread.

Work on our teaser mod is progressing at a steady pace. sandor has organized playtest and fixes the bugs that are reported in by ZDawg, Cambridge Spy, ed_conn, simonp92, InsanitySorrow and trebor197676. After the last bugs and kinks have been ironed out we're ready to release it.
Seniosh has been busy expanding his Glassmine quest in several ways, one of which is to connect it to our Great House Redoran questline. In our upcoming release of "Silgrad Tower v3.0" you'll be bequested by House Redoran to investigate some troubles in the glassmine, and it will soon become apparant that what may at first have seemed like a routine job will in fact be a long journey to the bowls of the massive, sprawling glassmine - ending in a showdown with an enemy equally mysterious as deadly...
 The Glassmine is, as the name suggests, the one and only mine with rich deposits of glass crystals. It's even more original in that you can actually mine the ore with a pickaxe. It's spread out over seven large cells, and just exploring every nook and cranny of it will keep you busy for hours. Below are CS screenshots of the glassmine. I've increased the lighting to make them clearer.
In texture news n00biepl0x, who's made many many contributions to our mod in the past, created new textures for our Dunmer shop banners. Together with other shop banner textures created in the past, his work means we no longer have to rely on modified TES3 textures for our banners. At the same time his banner textures give a drastic, positive visual improvement to our mod. Below are a couple of examples of the banner textures he made recently:
We were joined by another texture artist recently, by the name of landmine.lieutenant. Among the creations made were a new mottled pot texture and a new texture for the often-used Redoran rug. Below are examples of ll's work.
Razorwing's current focus is making models for Soluthis' new harbor. I'm basing my work on a design by Kuukulgur, though my interpretation of his design is rather loose since it has such broad detail. The job includes a fair amount of animation, and I'm fortunate to have the help and advice of nick_op, Koniption and SaidenStorm as I try to get into the field of morph animations. Among the ships moored at the city's docks will be Koniption's Dres Scuttler ship, joined by my little skiff and potentially a wholly new ship design as well. You can read more about my development, and see oodles of screenshots and videos, in my dev thread. Below are a few wip screenshots.

Last october earendil staked a claim in the city of Silgrad Tower. Scc0511 was to be the home of an Orc bard (!) named Ragg, whom was a character first seen in our Morrowind mod. Among other things this eccentric character wrote his own cookbook. Turning the eccentricity up a notch, earendil made use of this interior in a quest he modded which sees the player talking to Sheogorath via a tomato -- an inside joke tying into the Shivering Isles expansion pack. The quest will take you into the heartlands of our ominous swamp, Deepen Moor, to find a mysterious hermit rumored to live in Assidulam Cavern.  The quest is fully voiced, and we hope you'll enjoy it in our next full release. As noted by sandor in the news item discussion, this quest is not only a very fine work on earendil's part but also a great example of us coming together as a team throughout earendil's development. From sandor's and TheImperialDragon's original house- and dungeon claim (respectively) and subsequent review and assistance from both, to Ibsen's Ghost's voice work with Steve Carrow's technical assistance, to Bob's quest advice - and helpful contributions from many more - the quest is a sterling testament to what can be achieved through team effort.

A taste of Morrowind
As some of you might know, Silgrad Tower is developing a teaser mod entitled "The Forgotten Garden". Its main purpose is to give players a preview of the kind of quality they can expect in the next release of Silgrad Tower, and to give players something to do while they’re waiting for our next release. "The Forgotten Garden" will feature new lands to explore, several fully voiced, unique characters and hundreds of new, handmade models. You'll get to explore new dungeons and work your way through new quests, and may even find yourself the owner of an estate with plenty of storage capabilities. Once you enter Morrowind, you'll notice many differences from Cyrodiil... pay keen attention to the rumors to learn the lay of this new land. Current development
Our work on the teaser mod is nearly finished. All that remains are a few final changes and resolving certain FPS problems, then we can move into beta-testing and subsequently release it - though we can't set a specific release date as of now. |
