Work is continuing apace on modeling for ROTH. I've uploaded another teaser screenshot, this time of an outpost tower:



Along with this model, I've been building a number of house type structures, all prepping for the creation of the Knight Stronghold zone. I'll save those for the ingame screenshots coming soon though!

I got news yesterday on the status of our sponsored server. It should be ready for us within the next week, so we should be in great shape for an initial alpha very soon. We were expecting it a couple of weeks ago, but the delay has just given me a bit more time to work on models, so it's worked out well.

Everything is coming together, albeit slowly, and I'm very much looking forward to getting my test server up and running!

Edit: Added another screenshot below, of the continued work on the building. You'll notice quite a few changes: walls thickened to make them more architecturally sound, battlements thickened and pushed out as an overhang, supports added to the battlements, arrow-slit style windows added at each landing, and more. Thanks for the comments, those who have posted or sent them! =)

ghehe, nice little tower :)
just a little tip, right now the walls looks really plain, try adding wooden support bars on the wall to make it stand out a lil more
