28 May 2008 - Development Diary: A New Look RuneScape!

The pictures shown in the 'Image of the Future' newsposts were just a taster of what is to come with our graphical improvements. In this Development Diary, we get to go into more detail, as well as show you some new impressive-looking images.

You'll find information about why we decided to embark on this project and what it involves, including shadows, textures and fogging.

That looks absolutely stunning. I'm just hoping i can run this mode outside of full screen mode and it's not only available in full screen.

Personally, I think the loyal players of Runescape deserve this after what Jagex did to the wilderness and how they implemented trade restrictions. But all in all, it looks terrific, so hopefully it won't cause too much lag on older systems

Wonder how far they'll go with the fog, hopefully it doesn't get to the point where it totally obscures vision.

One thing they didn't mention is whether or not your character will have a shadow.

They did - in the caption under the picture of Falador they mention that the person will have a shadow.
