This is another one of the environments I made for Runescape.
The quest it was made for is One Piercing Note, maybe the project I’ve had more fun working on.
There were many requirements we had to comply with in terms of gameplay. There’s something happening at some point, and I had to design the building to make this main event as interesting as possible AND at the same time overcoming some pretty tough engine limitations.
For this reason I had to model the entire environment on Google Sketchup first, and try and address all the possible issues together with the modelling team before they happened.
I’m really happy with the result, the monastery is one of the best looking places in the game so far (the next releases are going to be even better!), not to mention the fact that the content is top quality, a really fun quest to play, with a unique feel and a wonderful soundtrack.

As if all this weren’t enough, the lore this quest is built on – The Song Before The War – is a great read, check it out on the author’s blog, which links directly to its page on Runescape’s website.

   This quest is definitely one of the best.
