Support NeoGAF

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I don't like the idea of just a ban hammer reference by itself but I wouldn't mind something like Bishop's Hammer or the Hammer of Banned Evil Ore.

You do realize how many Ban Hammers will be in this game just due to the Custom Items alone?

[Labadal]

Appreciate all the work you have put in.

Will be fun to see this in-game.

Originally planned as a gaming hall of note, a tawdry collection of philosophers, aspiring politicians and assorted other miscreants have taken over half the gaming hall. Disgusted, the lifelong gamblers who dominate half the hall erected a wall separating the two sides. Grim enforcers maintain order in the chaotic walls of the inn, mercilessly evicting any who violate the peace.

Awesome, Gaming and Off-Topic rooms.

03 - Legendary Item - "Bartender's Ring (Round 2!)

The item selected is a Ring called "Bartender's Ring".

The following survey has 2 questions:

1. GAF Username.
2. Item Concept.

DEADLINE: March 6.

With that said, the following is what is now officially been decided for the item:

• Item Type: Ring
• Item Name: Bartender's Ring
• Item Color: Dark Yellow Orange
• Item Appearance: A simple ring made of wood. The ring is not adorned with any gem, but has a simple wooden face that is half orange and half gray.
• Item History: Asked about the history of the ring, the Bartender has been reluctant to share any information about its origins. Only a trusted few know how he obtained it; Some believe that it was a gift from one of the gods while others say that he received the ring after entering an evil pact with a demon. The only thing that is known is that the Bartender was banished many years ago and returned with the ring.

Good luck everyone and congrats to all the selections that will make through.

P.S. I loved the item history provided for a weapon and have decided to use that towards the ring, with slight modifications.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bump for the evening.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Edit: Never mind.

Voted.

 

[massoluk]

Neat, didn't follow this project much, so Evil Lore and Bishop are both in. Love that Inn's backstory that sounds so familiar.

Also, ring's bonuses are all boring...

 

[Alric]

All submitted, thanks for updating the thread. Can't wait to see it in game.

 

[adj_noun]

And done.

I had no idea this thread existed. I followed the other threads but didn't see this one.

Completed the surveys.

 

[Keasar]

I hope you will forward a reference picture for Bishop.

 

[JesseZao]

Cool to see this get finished. Is the game still a year out?

 

[hemtae]

Supposedly, its suppose to be released at the end of this year.

I'm aware of that. To counter that, what my goal is to provide the basis of it to Obsidian and discuss with them if I can on what are their low level item like and what are their high level item like. When I can get an idea, the results may be adjusted. It pretty much goes for everything i.e. we provide Obsidian what we want and they'll adjust it accordingly as required for their universe.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bumping the bump. Last day of voting!

 

[Shake Appeal]

...and they'll adjust it accordingly as required for their universe.

Glad to hear it. I'm wary of the game being full of silly things fans dreamed up, though y'all are doing a great job with the GAF inn at least.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

And now we watch the paint dry. Received an email from Associate Producer Rose Gomez that will make everyone very excited:

"Our lead designer is really itching to get these inns done, and we have an open inn spot in a major area of the game that's just waiting for a backer to send in their stuff. It'll be the first inn located in the main hub of the game near an awesome canal - and it's going to be first come first serve as to which backer gets it."

Needless to say, we may have secured this prime location!

 

[adj_noun]

Oh, wow.

Fingers crossed!

 

[chaosblade]

All our info is ready (and sent?) It would be awesome to get some prime real estate and not some country inn out in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Rapstah]

This entire thing has kicked ass, I'm glad you organised this.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

All our info is ready (and sent?) It would be awesome to get some prime real estate and not some country inn out in the middle of nowhere.

Haha! Yeah, I send the info the moment I got that email. I also told them that they have full creative freedom to make any changes necessary to ensure it fits the lore/universe of the game.

I'm positive we got the prime real estate location!

 

[chaosblade]

I'm just a little disappointed we couldn't get anybody from Obsidian to post a bit for some direct communication as a group instead of having to go through a single individual for submission/proposals. There may have been a lot more activity and ideas in that case too.

Great that it worked out at all though, thanks for handling this Shagg!

 

[cartman414]

Kind of know a couple people who work/ed there.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Haha! Yeah, I send the info the moment I got that email. I also told them that they have full creative freedom to make any changes necessary to ensure it fits the lore/universe of the game.

This would be so awesome. Thanks for all your work.

 

[Keasar]

Looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Sweet! Location, location, location.

 

[Santiako]

That's awesome, shagg_187! Thanks for organizing all this.

 

[Corto]

Shagg, you're awesome. Very much so! Thanks for organizing this gig. Can't wait to steal everything from the inn.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

P.S. In Credits, It'll thank "NeoGAF Community" in Gold. I guess that'll be the first and only time NeoGAF Gold will be official. :lol

I'll update the OP soon regarding what has been done. Thanks everyone!

P.P.S. For Bishop's look, I told them "Think Samuel L Jackson in 'Black Snake Moan' with built like Michael Clarke Duncan".

 

[Kurtofan]

That's pretty cool.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Well totally missed all of this, but ohh well....

Good stuff any way!

 

[Kurtofan]

What's the Goose and Fox a reference to?

GAF?

Example of what an Inn can look like

We've also finished some of the inns that were designed by backers. Hector Espinoza just finished this render of the Celestial Sapling, an inn that is built into an enormous tree.

Looks nice. Can't wait to see the GAF Inn!

Looks nice. Can't wait to see the GAF Inn!

That looks great, I hope the Gaf inn doesn't end up too much like a theme park inn based on the decisions that are going into it.

 

[Kurtofan]

Goose And Fox

GAF?

dammit.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

The Sapling is such a cool and unique idea.

Can't wait to see the other four.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Asked a question on the official forums;

Hopefully Shagg will be able to get us a sneak peak soon ;-)
And maybe Evilore can share an early look at his custom portrait (he did back that tier right?)

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

LOL! I hope not. I told them to make any minor or major adjustments if it doesn't fit their universe/lore.

That's awesome! And yes, he did back that tier.

 

[injurai]

LOL! I hope not. I told them to make any minor or major adjustments if it doesn't fit their universe/lore.

If it was up to me I would have really stretched the creative possibilities into the absurd. Hopefully Obsidian can work a lot of question related stuff into our NPCs though so it's a very much living part of the game that fuels events. Otherwise It will just be a lot of nods to the forum and not much else more.

We're the Shenanigans of the Eternity World.

But it was up to you!

P.S. Happy birthday to me!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Happy birthday, Shagg!

 

[Donos]

Glad this and Project Eternity are still going. For a moment i was afraid that this felt over a cliff somehow.

 

[bakerbakes]

Awwww man. I'm tardy to the party.

Excited nonetheless.

 

[Keasar]

I had forgotten about this, did we ever get an update on how the (GAF) inn was coming along? A private preview picture or something?
