    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Tags: Almost Human Games; Art!; Legend of Grimrock

    Juho from Almost Human Games offers a few tips and tricks on how to make spankin' nice matte paintings - like the ones used in Legend of Grimrock's intro sequence.

    In this post I’ll show some tricks of trade on how the intro images were created. The images were mostly made with the same techniques that are used in movies to create so called matte paintings. They are a combination of photo manipulation, painting and rendered 3d objects. I used mostly my own photo library of various things I’ve photographed during trips and vacations over the years. Majority of the mountains are from Lapland and north Norway I visited couple years ago with my wife. We had to stop the car all the time when I saw something cool I wanted to take a photo of.

    Don't let Prosper see this, turd golems must still be created, and textures must be oil slick and/or plastic. God forbid Prosper gets hold of a photo camera.

    EDIT: Oh wait, he would still have to leave the house.

    Looking forward to prosperian Grimrock dungeons. Our minds will be blown, our auras realigned with mathematical paradigms and our boots filled with wall paint.
