Acrylic painting: Wolf (WIP #03 + finished version)
Another interesting week has passed. Where did all the days go? I swear the last thing I remember is maybe Tuesday? And suddenly BAM! It’s Saturday. But I guess I haven’t just skipped the week because apparently not only I’ve been seen at work but I also finished the wolf painting! It took some work but it’s been a lot of fun too. Also I managed to finished it just in time to gift the painting to my mum for Mother’s Day. Part 1 | Part 2 Unfortunately the last Work In Progress photo didn’t save nicely so below is the finished painting.

Bless Q&A and an open letter to the Community
How is it possible it’s Sunday already? Where did the rest of the week go? Hey everyone, it’s been a pretty nice week for me, what about you? I still can’t really find my place after I finished playing Mass Effect Andromeda (and watching Gotham) but the developers never sleep… or do they? Not long ago we got announcements of Bless Emissaries, the game prices and… existence of a subscription in the game. This week Neowiz has shown again that they not only monitor the community’s reactions for the announcements but they also listen to the players’ voice. During the passing week Bless developer posted two important updates on the internet. The first one was a “Q&A” post that addressed many game-related questions and issues that last updates and press conference brought. The Questions and answers that I personally found the most interesting are below. Q: How does pricing work…

Finished ME:Andromeda
Last night I finished Mass Effect Andromeda and I have to say – it was quite an adventure! I had several months of a break from this game and I’m not sure why, to be honest. Those several months ago when I was playing it last time I really enjoyed it, so I guess something made me drop the game for a while or maybe I’ve had enough of it for that time because I overdosed it and just needed a break. But, several things reminded me of Andromeda recently. First I watched Lost in Space, a Netflix show about a, well, space travelling family discovering new planets. Then I got to try out Defiance 2050 beta and I really liked it but I realized it strongly reminded me of Andromeda. And after the beta ended I wanted to play Andromeda more and more and finally I opened the game…

Bless updates!
We finally got some solid news about Bless Steam launch – the dates, the prices of both the game AND founder packs, but also the first wave of Emissaries was announced. Congrats everyone! The chosen Emissaries were divided into 3 categories. Creators from the first one were awarded for their work towards popularizing the game with invitation to the first official Bless press conference on which the game was presented to the participants, as well as the important news such as the base game price and founder packs pricing were announced. Two other categories were Bless Content Creators and Bless Community Leaders. The list of the Emissaries you can find on official Bless website and below under “Show more” button (be warned, there is 96 people + press conference attendees names there!)

Bless classes news + Contest results!
In the last several updates Bless developer focused on exposing classes that will be available to play with the game’s launch. You can find more general informations about the classes, lore and the game itself on Bless Wiki. The first class update we got were animated class posters. Unfortunately the videos are currently unavailable to watch since Bless YouTube channel is experiencing some problems (the developer assures everyone that it will not affect the game’s release and the YouTube problem is under investigation). We still have some pretty still images for now and with Dev Talk #04 we got actual combat previews for every class! To keep the post shorter I hid the videos under “Show more” buttons. [full_width] Berserker (warrior) A typical warrior class wielding a two-handed axe. An interesting twist to the class is Bless’ combat feature: stances. In Berserker’s case one stance will be more defensive, letting…

ESO beta testing #02 + Contest!
Hello everyone! It might have seemed like I disappeared from here but on the contrary – I was working on some little project of mine concerning this blog. It’s finished now, but first things first. Besides the mentioned project, as some of you may remember, a while ago I kept fighting with Elder Scrolls Online PTS broken download. And after many troubles I finally managed to not only download The Elder Scrolls Online PTS but it also works (this time)! And I maybe didn’t have much time to play it but so far I loved everything I saw in Summerset. Above is just the login screen that managed to amaze me with its beauty on its own. I also have to admit, I’m a big fan of ESO loading screens art. In fact one of such paintings is currently on my PC’s wallpaper. The Summerset loading screens are truly beautiful…

Acrylic painting: Wolf (WIP #01)
Hurray, it’s weekend finally! For me weekend usually means painting. And because my last flower painting is finally finished I got to start a new thing and this time I chose to paint… a wolf! I’ve never painted a wolf yet so I’m very excited about this project because it’s my favourite animal. I didn’t have much time to work on it yet but below you can see some photos of what I managed to do in about 1,5h yesterday. Part 2 | Part 3

Bless news + ESO Beta testing #01
Bless Online news It’s only Thursday and we already got 2 interesting news from Bless Online developer – Neowiz. Several days ago the dev posted a new lore blog post on Steam that explains what are the two factions of the game, what races are allied in each faction and what is the reason of their conflict. As in any good story there is no “goods” and “bads” – there are just two sides of the conflict, each with their reasons – just like in any war. The comments on the factions are varied, even though it seems most people sympathize with Union, the more progressive faction that want to bring changes to hierarchy and social structure to, in their opinion, make world a better place. One particularly interesting comment for me compared Union to Germany in WW2 because of the revolutionary intentions, while Hieron, the Holy Alliance, wants to…

Bless Dev Talk #03, ESO Event Extended & more
During this passing week we got several interesting game news. 4 of them were particularly interesting for me, since they concern the games I either play or intend to play when they are released. And what is even better – they are all good news! Bless Dev Talk #03 Bless Dev team is working hard on making everything ready for the Steam release of the game, but still every once in while they manage to find some time to give us updates on what they are working at and what we can expect from the game. This time, in their third Dev Talk, they focused on some of the biggest changes comparing to the Asian releases of Bless Online. An interesting fact to note is that the news were first “leaked” on official Bless Discord to celebrate over 10.000 members of the channel. In this blog developers explain the main…
