Gothic 2: Other Story – Mod Development Progress – Latest News

Greetings, everyone!

We’d like to share some fresh updates from the development fields of our mod:

Work continues steadily on all fronts.

• Two new soundtracks have been composed for a brand-new location tied to the Builders — with a tone of darkness and mystery. As for Jharkendar, the area had long been in a kind of "limbo" — many ideas and concepts were floated, but no actual implementation. Now that a new writer has taken over this beloved location, development has finally entered an active phase. We’ll dive deeper into this soon, as there’s already plenty of material to show.

• Work on the retexturing pack is also progressing – Jharkendar has been reworked with new textures at roughly 70%.

• A significant number of new models have been created – from drinks to rings.

• The storyline for the Circle of Fire is about 75% scripted and already tested in-game.

• There has also been solid progress on one of the two new major areas in the mod – including quests for a local settlement, as well as for those who ended up there against their will.

• Thanks to team members who stepped in to help with scripting, some important storylines have been unlocked – such as the arc of Greg’s pirates and the charcoal burners. And this is just the tip of the iceberg – many thanks to all involved!

• Work continues on in-game literature as well. Not only are new multi-page books being written (two of them penned by the team lead in his spare time), but original texts from Gothic 1 and 2 are also being reworked. For example, Arcanum of the Golems is being turned into a single extended volume that includes references to golems beyond the original trio.
