There are no candles or torches lit to dissipate this quiet darkness.

Turns out, this really give me some Castlevania vibes to me. More specifically, it reminds me of Rondo of Blood. Remember how the first boss Ritcher fights (not counting that first encounter with Death) is a Wyvern? Well, this somehow reminded me of that setting... a castle in the night, quiet and solitery, with the ominous Wyvern flying in the distant background... Well, this felt similar to that, except much more immersive and with a story 10x more involving! I felt like these swarms of Wyrms are indeed the minions of some Dark Lord, like a powerful vampire that controls all night creatures. But more then that, I also felt this occurence is not something that simply happened once all of a sudden. No, I had the impression that this was something that happens quite occasionally, to the point of the inhabitants of the kingdom already being used to it, not lighting any lights and not making any noise so as not to draw the attention of the Wyrms. _Oh God, here I go again._ ALRIGHT!

Man I just had a revelation, I imagine you already knew this but I still thought it was worth sharing, you know how in the alpha, you were originally going to fight the Nameless King on a desert, and upon killing him, a sandstorm would clear up and then the Anor Londo ruins would be revealed to you? Well, the cutscene that plays in retail after the NK, the one that shows the fog clearing up is most likely is the one that was going to be used for the Anor Londo reveal, they just reskinned the sandstorm to fog, which is why the cutscene feels so anti-climatic, it wasn't just going to be a cutscene of some fog clearing up, it was going to be the goddamn Anor Londo reveal and they re used it! I knew the NK and King of the Storm's themes felt very fitting for a desert, because they were. Anyways, hope this is useful to you, if you can just recolor the fog to a sandstorm it would probably look perfect, but I don't know if you're going the "fight NK in a desert" direction
@@abyss1ne17 Honestly, it's been a while, I think I saw it on a datamining video from some other youtuber, but I thought it was common knowledge. Since it's been some months since I've seen it, I can't give you the source sadly, I thought you'd know about it, there was also something about the Lords originally being the Deacons + Aldrich (Aldrich alone, not devouring Gwyndolin), The Abyss Watchers, but as minions for the main boss that would've been the "Wolf Blood" so I assume some spiritual version of Artorias (or maybe that Wolf you showed on some back to the alpha video), the Princes (mainly untouched, I think?) and the Nameless King guarding the Anor Londo ruins. Again, I apologize because I know it's kinda wacky but I thought it was common knowledge regarding the Alpha
@@JP-mr1hn Well, I've never really found or seen NK mentioned in a desert, although there are some people who post things on video kind of without actually dataminated, but I understand, if you keep watching my videos about Back to the Alpha, you'll notice that some of this information won't really fit into the ones you've seen, but it's a great go through the older files that are currently available.
@@abyss1ne17 Yeah it's fine, I'll now be trying to find the source so I can hopefully come back to you and let you know where the hell this information even came from
How much of this mod is going to reshape the game? I don’t imagine we have that much information on the entire alpha. Plus you said you’re missing even earlier files of the game so trying to put it all together must be hell. Like Gods Grave for example the most I’ve seen of it was a leaked concept art image and a very unfinished version of it from videos. Are you giving Farron Keep a fresh coat of paint or are you actually designing an entirely new area? I assume the layout of places like the undead settlement and cathedral of the deep are gonna be the same.
Well, there is a lot of information about the development of ds3, only that it is not public, with regards to the Gods Grave map layout, no, I actually chose not to use Farron Keep, I will create this map somewhere else, it all depends on how creative we are to change the progression, change enemies, create new challenges that block a path and force the player to go in another direction, create little shortcuts, the game uses the same maps in 80% of the mod, but all Lods are added and changed to give an impression that the player is playing "another version of dark souls 3", the main problem of Gods Grave is that visually I have seen desing and know how the place is, but not having the assets makes it difficult to recreate the map, and takes time, I have no modeler on staff, and as the mod is edited by me, sooo yes, it's hell.
@@abyss1ne17 Ahh I see well I hope things go as smoothly as they can for you. And when you say information that is not public you have insider info huh?🤔
That looks BEAUTIFULL !!! After playing so much DS3 , I missed the creepy atmosphere of DS1 and 2 . Also those sounds are extremely chilling ! ( They might get annoying overtime . Perhaps they should be used sparingly .)
Ive had a question on my mind about the mod (hope you see this) but i’m captivated by your “Back to Alpha” series and wondering if you plan on placing enemies in the same spots in your created mod?
not exactly in the same places, for example with Carthus, I will not use Smoldering lake as it is in NT and Vanilla with skeletons, it will have a whole Izalith thematically, so all the skeletons will be moved to another map, still using the Smoldering lake example, it has eclipse spiders, but this map was part of Gods Grave, so you can expect these Deep Accursed (eclipse Spiders) on the map I choose for GG. I am so glad you liked Back to the Alpha =]
@@supercock370 To be very honest, I don't plan to invest much effort in Demon Ruins, I plan to create a shrine for demons, but the Carthus Caves and Smoldering lake (Searing Gorge) will be completely themed for Izalith, it's 100% my stuff, it doesn't exist in NT, but let's face it, demon society and culture is very badly used, and I want to give them a revitalized and interesting motive to survive until the last days of ds3.
believe me, youtube devours the visual quality of the video and even makes it darker ¬....¬
