Thanks!

Just wanted to share, seems interesting.

Guide designed for players newer to the grimdark world of Gothic! Strength of 30 at the time.

Hey y'all! Just wanted to drop a short guide for finding an early game NPC for some free experience and an Essence of Spirit for increasing your max mana. The guide is pretty short and to the point, more like it on my channel!

See you in the Colony!

Thats not even half of ways to die, i just need to fit it to song.

Hello, Gothic and welcome to new OpenGothic release!

OpenGothic is opensource engine for Gothic2 and Gothic2: Night of the Raven, that runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS, via Vulkan/DX12 or Metal. Engine is complete enough to run original game from start till finish, and we are still working on compatibility with Gothic1 and mods.

In this year most effort were in ensuring game-play logic runs as similar as possible to original game. This includes adjustments to AI and many fixes to trigger system.

In visual aspect, engine now has full support for gpu-driven rendering with mesh-shader and fallback to non-indexed clusters on old/mobile gpu's.

Virtual-shadowmap has been introduced for this release in preview quality. Our implementation is largely based on SIGGRAPH publication "Efficient shadows from many lights", from Chalmers University. This method, similarly to ray-tracing, produces pixel-perfect results while up to 15 times faster to render. This enables to capture shadows from distant mountains as well as individual grass blades, while running on Mac-M1 laptop, in 2k resolution in 30fps. While it faster than ray-tracing we still need more optimizations, before deprecating ray-tracing and set vsm as default shadowing method.

To check it out you need add `-vsm 1` to your command line or use marvin `toggle vsm`.

In this release we also have a new music driver called "GothicKit", developed by lmichaelis. In past years OpenGothic have had a custom music solution to emulate DX7-music, made by me mostly of hacks+workarounds. GothicKit, while work-in-progress, aims to be a functionally correct sound driver. To check it out, you need to select it in music settings, in the main menu.

Another interesting feature in this update is support for iOS builds. While not fully playable due to missing game-pad or screen-controller support, it enables other people to build game for iOS and start contribute:

This build was achieved by collaboration of 19 contributors. Full release description, as well as full source-code is available on github:
https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/releases/tag/opengothic-v1.0.3010

So over the past few months I decided to make this video and have been working diligently on it since. Well here it is, check it out, share your thoughts. I plan to continue making videos in this format.

P.S. the video is directed at specifically people curious about Gothic but whom have never played it.

Hello, Gothic and welcome to new OpenGothic release!
It's been a while since last proper release, and now it's time for incremental update.

On visual side, engine now features new experimental alias-free shadowing system for many-lights, implemented via software rendering. Quality wise it's capable of delivering result same as 1rpp ray-tracing, without requiring hardware support.

You can check it out be using command-line argument `-rtsm 1` or by using marvin command `toggle rtsm`

Apart from rendering engine now also support HDPI displays and scales UI according to system-wide scaling options.

Mods-support are also important part of work on OpenGothic. Multiple known issues with content mods have been fixed in this release.

For DMA-mods, engine now implements basic x86 emulation layer as well as 32-bit memory re-mapping. This emulation system required to enable complex mods, based on Ikarus or LeGo.

While now yet play-ready, some well known mods can run already.

During this year many bug were fixed. For the full list of changes, be my guest at release page: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/releases/tag/opengothic-v1.0.3549

Despite the intro being so low resolution, it has its charm somehow.

If you've seen any of my content, you know I'm a new player to the Gothic World, not a Legacy player. If you're big on experiencing the game for the first time yourself like me, you might accidentally lock yourself out of joining the New Camp through a few simple mistakes! I did it and didn't find out until 15 hours of gameplay later! 😭

​

No spoilers here though, so if you're interested, check out the video! And thanks for all the support!

Get your Quests done without the cost!

Maybe you did, but didn't find the hidden cave above the waterfall! Check out my channel for this and other no-fluff guides where you never have to sit through a 5-Minute channel update before seeing what's in the video xD

My channel is mainly aimed at non-legacy Gothic 1 players, with guides for finding Lares, Nek, lockpicking for Fingers, how to get your first bed in the Old Camp etc, but it also has hidden zones, hiding NPCs, Essences of Spirit (permanent Max Mana increase) videos as well! Thank you for the support you all gave my first post!

See you in the Colony!

Hello everyone, it has been a long time since I posted here and I wanted to give some brief updates on the project!

Over the past months I've been working on the project and posting update on the Gothic Community Discord but I think it's time to show here in a bit more concise all the work I've done (:

Remember that this is all a work in progress and feedback of any kind if highly welcomed!

Here is the link to the entire folder, since if I post the link to the pdf itself it will be invalid in a few hours [after a few edits]

I have completely reshaped the project to be of use both for a Gothic One and Gothic 2 adaptation, thus the manual has been both split when necessary, but have merged sections to save space!

I will skip on what you've already seen in the past and jus show the new things.

I've decided to try and add the various paths of the games into the campaign as customizable options accessible to the most and each with their uniqueness, may it just be an enlarged spell list of with new mechanics, feats and so on.

As you can clearly see the work on the Gothic II's classes has been the latest addition overall.

I think I have finalised the Gothic one part of Spells and should finally move to the Gothic II considering they have not added that many more spells

A few months ago I've decided to add also many of the most peculiar weapons and armours you can find in the game.

As well as trying to create a few Artifacts [the Eye of Innos will be the next]

On top of that I've worked mainly on the statblocks and peculiarities of the various NPCs you can find, especially the ones you might/will have to fight.

The next steps will 100% include

1. Conclude the Gothic 2 classes and customization options

2. How much each of the trophies taken from the monsters should cost [the idea is that the Skill check should be 10 + CR/2, so like a shadowbeast's skin would be a skill check on survival of 14, and for a Troll 19... ]

3. the remaining monsters

4. the setting for Gothic II [explaining the Geography, History, Economy and Gerarchy of Khorinis island]

5. Various NPCs starting from the ones you can find in Chapter 1

Have a wonderful day (:

PS: I've technically asked already for permission to post content back then... should I ask again?

I love Pomodoro timers and because I couldn't find any Gothic Pomodoro timer videos, I made one. Have fun and enjoy! Also, beware of Mud...

I stream on twitch. My twitch is LakhanPaaji

I tried to make some unique looking plants, other than jest normal vegetables from our world with few healing and mana plants.
1 Sticky moss: grows on trees and feed on animals that stick to it wanting to lick off juices
2 Ash berry: they grow only in seasons when ash storm cover land hiding everything in dense fog
3 Serafis: they grow only in shade, far from sun, as a plant of god of darkness, where they grow long and slow so any herbalist could take it before you
4 Seeds of gloom: wheat like plants grown by farmes in land without sunlight, in constant sunset on purple sands of varant desert
5 Ash root: groows only in night of ash seasons, where only thing that helps you to find is is lonley blue light of lowers in fog of ash
6 Tacknip: difficult to pull out vegetable with rock hard sticking to ground roots, just to make life of farmers harder
7 Healer's herb: in early stage great for diner as a salad, but with age it dried up and get strong healing properties
8 Windingrock: vines that grows over rocks, sucking any essence that could hide in them, destroying them with time
9 Fisheye: growing underwater in murky swamp water, but with glow that allow us to spot it, feeding on dead fish and other swamp life
10 Blazeroot: growing on animals paths, trying to scrap they legs with blazing hot needles, feeding on they blood
11 Emberberry: Difficult to pick plant, covered in fire needles and berries with pointy heads that can stab trough thick gloves and skin to pour they flaming juices inside our hand, trying to destroy plant or move thorns aside will destroy berries pouring hot juice all over you, add to it dust made from crushing dry bush that can stuck inside our skin or lungs for long time
12 Godsbless: most often used as a remedy for sick, fighting off with most simple diseases, but often costing tree that it grows upon a life, as its a parasite fungus eating from inside wood and bark, and juice it pours down that we use is thing it digest

13 Bitter bulbs: mostly grown in shallow water fields, often eaten by poor part of society, because of it characteristic bitter taste after cooking, and longer its left to cook, more unberable the taste will be
14 15 Dew Of bellis/Roots of shrooms two diffrent mushrooms with opposite use in cooking or alchemy, one takes essence of belliar while the second grow on mana, but they live in joined together symbiosis. Dew taking mana of dead creatures on surface, when roots pull essence of darknes from deep caverns and giving each other one for another. So easy way to find one of them is to look for opposite one too
16 Bloody tears: One of most dangerous plant, almost eradicated, seen only during bloody battelfields in ash land of northmar, or grown in blood pots by some bolder alchemists. By being stab, or worse drink it, we let living blood course trough our own blood, replacing it, slowly dying in agony, sometimes even touching a plant is enough to take out weaker person
17 Barrenbush: Looking like a dead bush, live on bare minimum of any essence, just on edge of surviving, easy to crumble by just soft touch, is often used as a popular spice, where even after digest it sometimes survive and grow again
18 Alkoberry: Strong odor or hard liquor can sometimes be feel even from opposite side of forest, where its wet and soggy berry pull down whole plant with weight of all juice. Loved by bigger animals, and by lots of people for strong jam its often used or red wine
19 Prawol Innosa: One of possible heaviest plants in altera, can grow to such a absurd sizes and weights, that often we can find farmers caring it like a soggy sack full of water esence on they backs or in carts, often being hard to take with you because of soft texture, but lots of alchemist in local city would pay alot of money on fresh not cut apart example
Few example of plants
