| Darker Shades of Red: DS-2 Siegelet Project |
|
A DSoR Logo (Elrissa in the center)
We have been very busy constructing node sets for the Darker Shades of Red siegelet for the upcoming Dungeon Siege II. We will have a Dungeon Siege II beta test release sometime in May and, after testing, will begin bringing our new content and characters in game. There are far too many images for me to post here but they can be seen on our project site linked above. I will post a few images here as well as samples of our music composed by our project composer, Justin R Durban. The soundtrack alone will exceed 700MB making this the largest soundtrack ever placed in a game. Approximately 200 pieces of music are completed so far as well as the complete storyline.
Music:
(All music composed by Justin R Durban, DSoR Composer with vocals by LindsayAnne Klemm, DSoR Vocalist/Composer.)
DSoR: Opening Theme
DSoR: The King
DSoR: The Queen
DSoR: The Dark Sorceress
DSoR: The Peasants
DSoR: The March of the Beast
DSoR: The Moment of Truth
DSoR: Fallen Friends
DSoR: Little Scavengers, Part 1
DSoR: Passion
DSoR: The Messenger
DSoR: The Ascent of Mount Angelica
DSoR: Fallout
DSoR: Ice Caves 01
DSoR: End Credits {A Song for the Lonely} Cher appears courtesy of the Time Warner Corporation
Many more music mp3's are available at our project site. Now for some node-set models and images. The difference which the inclusion of shader tech makes is rather obvious:
Tree Dwelling
Elrissa the Summoner's humble abode.
Home: Town of Haven
Building Interior in the capital city.
Haven Castle and port.
A high polygon Character Model (22,000 polygons, 14,500 vertices).
Elrissa's home from another angle

I agree, the music is very good. Some of the links are broken though.

OK. Got the material moved and the links repaired. I will post some additional music and images as well as a brief overview of the story:
DSoR - The Power Cher appears courtesy of the Time Warner Corporation
DSoR - Battle for the Plains
DSoR - Images
DSoR - Imperial Guard
DSoR - Knights of Aranna
DSoR - Angels
And a few models:
A Ship (Obviously) 
A node set
Node Set
She is 24,000 Polys & 12,000+ vertices.
Now before anyone jumps in here and says: "Hey! You can't use characters with a poly count that high!" ...... Let me assure you that we can not only use them but we can use them with very little performance hit. How? Well, we aren't telling that just yet. Think "Divide and Conquer!"
A little about the story:
DSoR has a huge storyline. So far, around 700 pages of dialogue (Microsoft Word format, 10pt font). This is not a hack'n'slash project. It is a role playing game. If hack'n'slash is all you want then it won't be for you.
The story focuses on Azunai the Defender and his quest to find the woman he has seen in his dreams since he was a young boy. It is a quest which will take him into battle with Zaramoth the Unmaker and, eventually, cost him his life.
It is a love story with rpg elements which will be released in Chapters throughout Dungeon Siege II and Dungeon Siege III over a 7 year period. It does not focus on the battle between Azunai and Zaramoth that you may have read about at the GPG official website. It focuses on the years before and the events which lead up to this fateful battle on the Plain of Tears.
The project will feature many movie sequences like what was seen in the DS-2 trailers. The player will have choices in how he responds to and interacts with the NPC's and other characters in the game. You will have a lot of free will to abuse as in Morrowind but be careful how you use it as killing the wrong person can render the game unfinishable.
The game will be a continuing story and it will pick up in the second chapter where you left off in the first. This will be accomplished via questbits which will store your choices in the first game and start you in the second one based on the way the first ended. No two games will end the same.
A lot of money is being spent in the development and distribution of this project. The filesize for chapter one alone will be in the neighborhood of 1.5 GB. It will be unlike any project you have seen produced for Dungeon Siege to date and much of it's production is being done by professional studios (i.e. movie sequences).
We are also making some drastic changes to summons. DSoR summons will closely resemble summons from Final Fantasy 10 rather than DS summons. They will be massive hit and run weapons which do incredible damage. They will not be walking around behind your party looking silly.
Anyhow, that's about it for now. I will probably be erecting a project site here at RPGDOT soon and more information can be obtained there. I have closed my current project site for a redesign of the theme. I hope to reopen it here in time.
Keep an eye on SiegeDot as well. You might see some drastic changes coming in the amount of content hosted there as well as the DS forums.

Dungeon Siege 2 beta testing starts in two months...not the release of the siegelet. However, we will start bringing our content in-game at that time. DSoR (Chapter 1) is scheduled for release in Mid 2007 with a new chapter every 6 to 12 months afterward.
