Allods Online Art Book! Teased by Paul Richards, let's track it down

Tom Ellis

I'm sure many others have spotted this over on Paul Richards Blog today but he very smugly posts some shots of what could be the greatest art book ever released... and we can't have it!

I know a lot of the art is available online, most here on PC, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it would be somewhat wonderful to get hold of that book!

If anyone has any info on how to get hold of this then it would be much appreciated!

Autocon

oh man we need to get Vadim to talk to his buddy's there and buy a bunch so us stateside PC users can buy them.

DO WANT INDEED!

achillesian

Skamberin

Game was horridly broken when i tried to play But man, the art is fantastic. Some of the best I've seen in game, especially MMO, in a long time. I really want that book!!!

Tom Ellis

Well Google is of absolutely no help on this one, it seems to be the most elusive art book ever.

I've contacted Nival who I believe are the studio behind the original Russian version of the game, hopefully someone who opens the emails speaks English.

Inside source on IRC says :
[16:46] <Vondur> well it's still beta version of the book, there was no proper edition issued, so we gift these to our foreign guests
[16:47] <Vondur> and ofc non from the studio have it

So no it's not findable anywhere online, not sure if it ever will be, looks great though!

NOOO! That doesn't sound promising!

Those 'foreign visitors' should consider themselves very lucky!

rolfness

vcortis

neolith

Oooh, nice - I want one, too.

Purplepaint

I can has?

Wahlgren

I'd buy two because of the asses.

Sean VanGorder

This is the first MMO I've ever played, and I really enjoy it. It still has some bugs here and there, but it's still great for being a free game.

The art is fantastic in game, even when I can only run the game with the graphics settings cut in half.

Also, the asses are top notch.

CompanionCube

has this been released yet, really want it

Bal

Inside source says, probably won't be published, just printed a few times for people in the company.

Tom Ellis

I dunno how common this is in the industry to give these little gifts to friends/colleagues/involved companies etc but look at how beautiful that book is! It's hardcover too, they'd be crazy not to publish this.

I wouldn't even want a translation, just gimme the damn pictures!

Del

~ I'll settle for paying a digital version. PDF now!

Kwramm

oh sweet!!! I really love the allods art!
And yeah, no need to translate, the pictures speak for themselves. really nice! I'd buy one!
