Hey there,

I eagerly anticipate the graphical re-work of Varrock. I wonder if you guys are already passing around concept art (Sorry for baiting this as a second question. Cheap tactic. :P ).
Anyways...

Question: Would you consider being more involved in communicating with the players? Stop by on the Forums or in-game. We'd love to see you from time to time. ^_^

Not quite art related, but I notice that between the three of you, only one of you has post history (at least available to our viewing), and the one who does has posted only once, and that was Sept of 2010. Earlier this year I had the privilege of meeting Mod Lab*, also of the art department (for those reading), and he posts occasionally. What is more is, he found his way in-game for a chat with a couple random players.
'But I decided to talk more with the players because why not?' as he put it.

Just thought this may be a great way for the team to get direct player feedback and for us as a Community to become more acquainted.

1) Why is Death Lotus red while everything about Ranged suggests the color green? It doesn't match with Glaivens, Swifts, Ascension Crossbows, etc.


2) What's the reason for using small, generic, crossbow models for all the new 1h crossbows? The Chaotic Crossbow has a unique model, albeit a bit large. Is there any way you could re-design the Ascension Crossbow to give it a shape similar to the Chaotic Crossbow? Possibly make a poll showing different concepts.


3) Are there any plans to re-design the PvP armours and weapons?


4) To make an offhand version of a weapon, do you basically just flip the weapon? If so, why is it taking long to create offhand versions of several weapons (PvP weapons, White weapons, Dominion Crossbow, etc)?


5) Is there any chance of graphically updating Skill Capes (not the emotes)? They tend to clip with a lot of graphics and they are pretty old.


6) Why doesn't Jagex do anymore design polls? When Dragon Scimitars god re-designed a few years back, players disliked the design. Then there was a poll that showed different concepts for the Scimitar.
That would be the easiest way to re-design a weapon or monster.

1.) Any chance on letting the Superior PoP gear have a re-color option, similar to Max/Completionist Capes, for those who have earned them and to differentiate them from the tradeable versions?

2.) Another wweapons/Armor graphics update batch was discussed as being in the works, any word on when it's ready to go?

3.) Are future cutscenes in quests going to be of similar quality to those as of late (i.e. the awesome pre-battle scene at the end of Stolen Hearts, or every cutscene from TWW)?

4.) Lastly...Gods! Who do I have to bribe / extort /ask to get some concept art of the Gods (besides the ones of Bandos and Saradomin floating around the internet)?

My questions are for everyone.

What's the next "big" thing you'd like to do in terms of modeling or animation? For example, a few years ago, it was a big deal when we got eyes. It was also a big deal when animations could be extended outside of the character's "box" (making something like the Taskmaster emote possible). How would you like to test the boundaries next if you were given the opportunity?

Are there any big "goofs" that come to mind that you caused? Bugs, glitches, clipping that wasn't supposed to happen? I'm curious to see what you're biggest (or silliest) mistakes were.

What upcoming jobs for modeling and animation would you like to do and why? Is there a particular character or motion that you'd love to create?

Thanks for hosting another Podcast!

My questions:
1. With the new upcoming World Events, Divination and Runescape 3, can you give us any small teasers about how you are going to change the map according to each god and their claimed possesion? For example, when Lumbridge would be under control of Zamorak, is it going to look like it is in his possesion (Red etc)?

2. If you would graphically rework cities, would it be possible to slowly see each part of the city change while you guys are reworking it? Like the city is being build under the eyes of the players? It would give the players more contrast to real life, a sky scraper under construction...

3. Can we have a little spoiler on what Zaros is going to look like? :)

To those sending in more questions, have fun!
To the Jmods, looking forward to the podcast!

Cheers! :D

good day,

i've got 2 questions:

1. Are the skillcape emotes ( not the capes ) going to be updated? i think they are a little out-dated with the new awsome solomo's store emotes and loyality emotes..
However, might the graphics team also be aiming to fix some skillcape graphical bugs? ( especially with some armour types )

2. Would it ever be possible to "stretch" runescape's world map? And if so, would jagex do that? I think Runescape is becoming a bit "full" There are no more streched mysterious woods, abonded lands etc.
