Not all is blood and gore on Cronos. After the naughty bar in downtown Sichabroner installed a new mirror, our hero used the occasion to commemorate his latest visit.

This video shows off more of the architecture and technology in all-new or greatly enhanced maps coming in the next release, including 3D switches, advanced shadows & lighting as well as a complex system that requires opening various water tanks to raise the water level in the basin, making it overflow to open up a new area. Available now on YouTube.

Work in progress: Nisisil Catacombs (now an integral part of the hub flow). This map is an experiment in using no sector lighting at all. Anything other than pitch dark is created by dynamic light sources.

Work in progress: Nisisil Cloister (replaces Crucible as the end boss map).

I’ve also been trying some ideas to make columns destructible and/or the roof to collapse, if I get it right I’ll make another video showcasing it.
