Dark Souls 2 Dissected - Next Episode Progress (Patreon)

This next episode is all about early map designs for The Gutter and Grave of Saints! Yes, this area is getting its own episode entirely because there really is that much to look at! It's the area that suffered the most from cutting corners, the original concept for it was so much more interesting.

The script is currently at 8 pages and counting, which should likely be finished soon. Hopefully I'll be able to start recording and editing video for it later this coming week.

Here's something funny I didn't know. The garbage pillars of The Gutter were notorious for having what looked like a car tire in them, but what I didn't realize is that it was removed from SotFS. I just assumed it was still there. Check out how they covered it up:

This is something of an admission that they made some mistakes by rushing things in this area (that and the removal of the Heineken label from the Grave of Saints) with this sloppy texture work.
