I just became granado espada one of many new pioneer of the new world 5 days ago. You know i always wanted to play this game ever since remarkably long time ago probably at the same time of my dear old pangya server/s! was closed. Ironicly at the same time pangya halloween ended and Jeong hoon park pass away, i find no more reason to continue the game.

See.dark was one of my influential person, second inspiration ever since i started my art career. Things ever has changed significantly ever since hanbit.soft split as the game developer. (concerning many potential new game programmers this day who can use RAD32.ware i suppose it's not a surprise it this would happen).

NTREEV.soft are publisher & Sponsor and much like game investor who hold and invest on korean game soft programmer. let's say TRICKSTER Online - Pangya - Grandchase.

Well as much as WINDOW MICROSOFT sponsored american games like on Fallout.3-BETSHEDA, GTA.4-ROCKSTAR, Prototype-ACTIVISION, Overlord#2-CODEMASTER. Etc. There are of course profit share for investor and game house studio.

=w= i do a little investment myself, all i ask is to God would Bless me with more knowledge and rise me and my family in both greatness and humble. ..*mumble mumble.

,....Anyway back to the topic.,

I'm not playing pangya anymore without see.dark and hanbit soft. remember on the last month the halloween fashion design contest? i was making a haloween dress for arin.

'Elizabethan Bathory'.

One extreme detail texture US.server ever have. It's not the best however, since pretty much at that moment i was re-open my art references from korean artist to make that dress.. and Maggy harem was the first thing that came into my mind.

On a dumb try, I went googling for US.server G.E and download the game client 5 days ago.

Considering maggy and hanbit.soft still working together on a great health, it was like the first time i experience a game when See.d and hanbit.soft used to work together.

A very awesome game more than i could ever imagine after this 5 year already ripe like Spanish wine at it's US.version 3.0.

Singapore IAH has reach version. 3.4
While korean has reached. 4.0
Japanese server probably the best on many aspect with their own mod and japan exclusive.version.


Granado Espada.

(Taken from wiki)
Granado Espada, known as Sword of the New World: Granado Espada in North America, is a Korean fantasy MMORPG developed by IMC Games Co.,Ltd., and published in North America by K2 Network. It launched in the summer of 2007. Granado Espada won the 2006 Korean awards for Best Graphics and Game of the Year[citation needed], with features previously unseen[citation needed] in an MMORPG (such as the ability for players to control multiple characters at the same time). Granado Espada features a unique art style based on the Baroque period of Europe, differing from the standard “sword and sorcery” fantasy themes of the genre.

(comment)
It's more than wiki text could ever describe. The game play is a great Combination of

- GENSHO SUIKODEN-konami.> Recruitment of unique characters
- CASTLEVANIA-konami.> in art and aesthetic, i would say it surpass the lastest castlevania. more at version 4.0
- DIABLO-blizzard.> =A= boring hack and slash, good thing their monster is several time fearsome.
- Pirates of caribean~the movie: Yaarr!! Savy??
- Europe_DIE GUILD-PC.> in art and aesthetic, historical settings, family system. i would say it surpass the entire 3d of guild, no seriously it's a long story.


- spanish american history.> Okay. i bet my on pants not many people know that CHISTOPER COLOMBUS is spaniard. Yes he is a Spanish as much as Hernan cortez who found yucatan.

(And how many people know 'donald duck' walt disney is an scotish american? while his 'uncle scoorge' is pure scotish highlander?)

Ah never mind that. lol. Anyway back to topic.
(i could talk so much about American-European revolution history till obama's reign and i could extend this whole journal page reachs 1024 x 6912 wide by doing so.)

I enjoy studying all kind of history as much as i enjoy reading Holy bible...and play MMO game. Granado espada is all about pioneering on a fictional american-esque history when the american land still young.

pioneers are any of the people in American history who migrated west to join in settling and developing new areas. This especially refers to those who were going to settle any territory which had previously not been settled or developed by European society.

One important development in the Western settlement was the Homestead Act, which provided formal legislation which regulated the settlement process.

The game has a series of linear quest to build settlement of the new world.

NEW WORLD REVOLUTION
=.=; on some patch, people can chose side to the queen of espanola or to the new world republic. well some settler think it's time to stop sending slaves and gift to queen and Yet some are still loyal to the queen and to espanola royalty.

player can be neutral, join the republican or the Loyalist.

=w=; <- currently neutral and i'm confuse..

Aside being an patriarch of pioneer family who fought evil cults, headless horsemen, aztec dinosaurs, vampire duo and unwashed undead pirates with their giant kraken chimera. Choosing side is the least thing of my worries.

TOTAL INSPIRATION. This game is so very ME~!<3
XD once i play enough i'll make some cool fanart of the game. there aren't too people many in deviant art do that but i do. in fact the sketch is already made i just can't get off from the game addiction after 5 night playing it thoroughly.

I'm glad there is no Indonesian there. I can enjoy the play without concern bumping at them. i don't mean to be rude, but i often find indonesian player is rude, debauch, vulgar and lowie. even here at their own game communitty. FACT. shame really.

There is some brazilian..But i can respect them at highest esteem. their Spanish chats really spice up the whole gaming. which i find that somehow very enjoyable during the game.

The game music was create by 3 major game korean composer and 1 japanese.

SOundTEmp-> ragnarok, grandchase
Kobata osamu-> BeatMania IDX and exclusive composer
KimJunSUng-> OH MY GOD~!!!! I'am so proud of you~! <3

The family quarter musical theme is classical, adventurous rich, and probably the music my ear ever heard in my whole life.

IGN CLOSING COMMENT
"The world looks great, with interesting environments and creatively designed monsters. The area theme songs get stuck in your head, and not because you hate them. The story is engaging and the dialogue is casual, often goofy, but when you get down to it, so much time is spent in a monotonous grind that deep down you'll probably know there is more fun to be had elsewhere."

'''=w= can't agree more, the grind can be boring. Trust me i play trickster online. but that can be cured by replacing the Juxebox with your favorite musical from another game OST.''''


TRIRATNA CLOSING COMMENT.
This is my artist journal, i write down what ever i like and whatever my current condition feels. It's both sad to see pangya ends, but you see it's was a blessing to see it. How that game was made from the beginning and how it meet it's ending. See.dark has complete his entire life project, i will miss him dearly.

At the same time, it's also tells me to leave it. and move to another place where i should belong.

Hanbit.soft creates pangya and granado espada.

Remember that i only play game only for art purposes FASHION & DESIGN. For every Profesional digital artist like me and you, being a game art director is one of the best achievement we always have. it's important to have a game that will inspire.

For every video games is a work of art.
