Evening, mates! Our apologies for keeping ye in the dark for so long on the production of Mist Mod, however rest assured we have been very busy at work preparing Mist for ye landlubbers. Here are a few photos from two locations on the Mist Isles, mapped for ye by Neoptolemus and Nexus, honored deckhands aboard the Mist crew.




The first set of photos are from the Sunset Caverns, a coastal chain of caverns that the Cursed Pirates have been using to store their treasure in. The Cut Throats have found the Cursed Pirates secret lair, and are invading from their sloop that shall be harboured in the bay, which will be revealed at our next progress report along with some more detailed photos of the lustrious treasure inside the caves. This will be the first presented map of the Capture the Booty game mode, which will be highlighted in our next crossing.

The second map is the abandoned ghost town, now known as Lost Souls where it is rumoured that a hidden treasure map lies within the haunted church on the island. The Cut Throats and the Black Buccaneers have become aware of its existance, and will fight to the death in this Deathmatch style map for the rights to the map. Beware though, the town is still inhabited by the ghostly spirits that once inhabited this tropical town, so be ready for some 'spooky' happenings out there.

Lastly, we have a preview for our next spotlight map, currently named 'Lighthouse,' which will be a 'Conquest' map.

We would like to put the call out for any Character Modellers out there, who would be interested in working aboard our ship.
