Had the pleasure of working on the Varlamore map for the OSRS team.

It was both an exciting and challenging one, as I'd not taken on something of that scale in such a short time frame before. Hopefully I've done it justice.

I'll see you over in The Shining Kingdom next year!☀️

Huge congrats to AsianGrinder on the first Sailing 99!🎉

For Sailing I had the privilege of animating the new skillcape emote, and being trusted to make this has honestly been the highlight of my career so far.

Hopefully you guys like it and are enjoying the new skill!

It looks like we're getting to the final chapters of Owen's diary.

A Sailor's life seems dangerous - but exciting and full of adventure. I wonder what adventures might await me tomorrow at sea.

Owen's diary is full of wild tales. A land called The Great Conch, home to a people known as the Tortugans. I haven't heard of them before… I can't help but wonder if they're dangerous.

Above all, I hope his father was found alive.

It feels strange reading pages from someone else’s diary, but Owen Clearstone clearly knew his way around the seas.

His journal spoke of his missing father, who seemed to have ties to a tight-knit group known as the Barracudas.

He also spoke of a voyage straight into a storm said to hide something ancient... Somewhere in that chaos, I hope he found what he was looking for.

Hey... What's this?

We seem to have stumbled across a diary of someone named Owen Clearstone.

I wonder what happened to him.

I love MMO games...
But my god the hardcore mmo community has to be one of the most terminally online, entitled, socially awkward, emotionally extreme communities to deal with.

🌄Varlamore is an enormous landmass, full of new challenges and exciting content.

🐎So without a horse, you may be thinking "How on Gielinor will I get around?"

🐦Enter the Quetzal. This native bird will be transporting you across the entire Kingdom!

Loving Ninja Pig's take on an Old School "Eastern Lands", aka The Wushanko Isles. 😍 There's so much detail packed in that makes me want to go and explore. Hopefully one day. 🙏
