Here is an email answer to the question of what some specific symbols mean in PST from Eric Campanella.It is from July 30, 2003&mentions "The symbol of Anguish","The Rune of Torment" and "The Symbol of Torment".As always,there is no guarantee regarding the authenticity. sorcerers.net/Games/Tormen...

I am working on the last weapon animation. In this case, it is the flail. I made a few when testing animation type 7000 in the past, so it worked smoother than expected. Here is a sample. It contains bone constraints to simulate the chain movement. It could have been done better, but it serves.

Rigging&animation for the ghost are done.Now the individual weapon animation per action needs to be done.Finished the sword animation.It is fun to come up with animations on the fly. It is a lot of work,but not as much as in the past due to a lack of basic knowledge (at least not all the time).

I just wondered how many people are still playing PST:EE on Steam,&it seems to be ~100 people daily since ~2022.That is a consistent number,the unknown player numbers who play the game in a different place, not included. The number is surprisingly resilient. src: steamdb.info/app/466300/c...

I have finished the sword, dagger, bow, and mace for the ghost model to wield so far. The full weapon set consists of 10, so there are six to go. Modeling in Blender feels like character creation on steroids.

Right: Weapon models in Blender without textures

Good evening, The body is also theoretically done, as I have no clue how well the rigging and animation will turn out.That said, I am not quite sure if the arms will be kept.This will replace the E000 Ghost animation for testing IE Autospriter. But before that, all the weapons need to be done, too.

Right: Ghost with arms

Alright, I made the eyes. It is not the absolute final version, but one I can live with and like. The creature is not a demilich. The right image is the rendered version, just to see what it would look like at a 45° camera angle and in-game. The next part will be its body.

Akin C. Dev @incrementis.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Good evening, today, I finished the jaw of the creature. Next, I will model the eyes. I think animated, maybe glowing eyes could fit as the next step. We'll see.

Good morning, I am currently working on this right now in Blender for animation type E000. I am not yet telling what creature it will replace for testing. It follows an idea and not a concept. The fun part is everything is allowed as long as it looks cool. Super curious how it will turn out.

An unfinished "human" skull with six spikes/horns on the head. The jaw is missing.

PART1/X Another animation test. This time, it is the animation type A000 for IE Autospriter. The video shows a self-made tunnel worm. For testing, the player character was polymorphed into one. This is the reason why the voice set is mixed. The result is better than I expected.

It is fascinating how the IE games are still a topic of discussion on social media today. In this case, it's a video about BG2 by "Bigjuicyhog’s Tome of Lore." In my opinion, it's more of a deeper overview than a real deep dive. Still worth a watch for the basics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhK4...

This is a portrait of Akun Zaran, the halfling Wizardslayer who got his equipment from Duria Almas, which he then sold much later to Erdaine near Durlag's Tower. With that money, he bought his mother's house in Gullykin.

A male halfling with brown skin looks up at a light source that illuminates his face. He has a short black beard, and short black hair that is already showing the first streaks of gray. He wears golden armor.

PART1/ Here is a short test video for animation type 9000. It replaces the original ogre animation with a custom-made one. There were a few issues involved in getting this model to work, which one I will explain in the following posts.

I have written more than once about color-bleeding. So, here is an example.At first, the ogre has clean colors (using a converter), but when spellcasting, the colors are a mess. The reason for the difference is that I use differently rendered sprites for testing purposes across different animations.

Akin C. Dev @incrementis.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

This reminds me of the "Great Oak of Kuldahar" in Icewind Dale, which gives shelter from the unforgiving cold that the area is known for(see ALT for more information).

The image shows a road leading to the great oak of Kuldahar. There is a ravine on the left side of the road. In the distance, lights and dwellings can be seen on the roots.

Akin C. Dev @incrementis.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Currently,all of the animations for these animation types are done.Here is a walk animation example.I still need a better understanding regarding rigging & animation.I have managed so far to minimize the need for weight painting nearly to zero,but I bet this will not be the case with future models.

Akin C. Dev @incrementis.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I am currently working on a selfmade Ogre model in Blender to test animation type 9000 for the IE AutoSpriter.The toughest parts are still the hands and making things not look so "blocky".I would say this is still an improvement over the first models I have presented here so far,as I am no designer.

Compare the self-made ogre model from its rough condition to its more smooth and detailed condition.
