Check out the Ashes of Malmouth Loading Screen!

Grim Dawn Announcements and Information

Seriously amazing work on that loading screen! The details are incredible, especially the aether storm. The woman in question is very regal looking and I love her renaissance/victorian look~

If only our female characters could look that bad ass :smiley: I seriously have no idea what people are complaining about…

If you think that’s cleavage, don’t ever to go a renfair…might give you a heart attack :smiley:

For some reason she makes me think of a witch…mainly because of the dagger and severed head in the other hand (ritualistic). Or she’s part of the craze of that city, just going out on her daily monster hunt :stuck_out_tongue:

Her eyes aren’t glowing aether green, so hopefully she’s not a taken :smiley:

This is definitely my new desktop picture :smiley:

62

I am glad the discussion has been more or less civil and even more glad that the picture sparked some kind of controversy it’d have been shocking if it hadn’t considering it’s 2017:rolleyes:
Really though, discussions like this aren’t harmful imo just a bunch of people disagreeing with one another. Not the usual tumblr/facebook pissing contest.

This guy made bows look like the most badass ranged weapons :smiley:

63

Why settle for Rambo when you can have:

64

Excuse me Sir, but this is way too much eye candy!

65

Boy, you know were nerds when the debate is loading screen boob art.

Can’t wait to hear what happens if she turns into some aetherial succubi and her undead boobs are too big.

Lol, why is this even being talked about. Lord, we do need the expansion to drop soon so we can talk about the actual game play again

66

I like the boobs, as well as the rest of the picture.

Actually, one of the things that has really jumped out at me about Grim Dawn and female NPCs is that almost all of them (I have not seen every female character in the game yet) have extremely short hair - as in, it’s often difficult to tell from just the picture and hairstyle that it is even a female. I don’t get that. Would at least 90% of females really have started cropping their hair to crew-cut length after the Grim Dawn and kept it that way?

67

Thats a good news for sure and good job to the artist. I would be glad if NPC or even character would seems more female that what we have now.

Next to it, it looks that some people are asking for more variety with the current load screen and I enjoying this post to request why it is still the same load screen after all that time ?

I am sure that some artist on this forum would be happy if crate ask for some pictures from them and maybe make contest to have more variety in load screen.

We have right now, 5 (thx for fix) 6 different masteries and 15 possibilities but sill only one class represented on loading screen. Why is that ? :o

68

6 different masteries, not 5. Soldier, Occultist, Demolitionist, Nightblade, Arcanist and Shaman. :wink:

As to why, well it’s more important to get the expansion finished and out to the fans than updating loading screens to give a bit of variety.

69

Thanks for fix and I fully agree about the need to have this expansion done when it will be … done.

But still, before the expansion was announced and during all updates game received, I am just curious about having only one load screen.

70

As said, working on the expansion. Although it did get officially announced a while back, it’s always been the plan to have one as it was part of the Kickstarter goals. So I suspect work was already being done it on at the same time the base game was being finished off and fully released. Plus as Zantai’s said several times the expansion has outgrown the original vision/plan for it so a lot more work to be done to get it finished.

More variety in the load screens is one of those “things on the wish list” to be done - eventually, maybe.

71

Pretty much this, even though it’s something on popular demand by the fanbase. The work required for it is a lot and therefore it is quite below on their list of priorities
Not to mention a lot of people suggested to use the Class Concept arts, which isn’t feasible since the apparently the resolution of the Loading Screen Art Assets is a lot more than the Class Artworks. So they’d either need to upscale the existing images or need to create new artworks.

72

usually what happens down the line.
its finished, they do clean up, bug crushing so it be out in time in october :wink:

73

Your name can be used as a title for a horror game.
I can see it now, a butcher’s cleaver, a victim in torn up clothes and a pig mask, a madman in a wolf mask wearing rubber gloves and an apron, a run down apartment.

P.S
From what I hear the expansion testing is going even better than expected according to Zantai

74

and this marks the end of the sasuage fest. thakn you cthon

75

On the topic of rotating loading screens, in the event they do get implemented I’d like to suggest going for loading screens for each faction (including this one representing the aetherial/vanguard faction)

76

There is no need for various loading screens to be prepared by dv.
It would be fun if a loading screen folder is created and each user can put their favorite picture there. Of course, it is not necessarily required for right now.

77

New loading scrreeeennnnnn!!!

78

holy crap is Grim Dawn about to add some SEXY? lol… it literally has everything else.

79

To be, or not to be, that is the question :wink: Great Picture!

80

I wonder does the current loading screen character represent a ch’thonian boss or normal ch’thonian cultist or is it meant to be any other faction representative?!
