Gehn’s Gallows
A few weeks ago we showed you a preview of the counting toy featured in the village schoolhouse. The toy, however, is only a crude, small-scale model of the full-sized gallows, so this week we’d like to share the genuine article!
Used to punish those deemed disloyal to Gehn, the cone-shaped wahrk gallows features prominently in the Jungle Island village basin.
The gallows is topped with the skulls of Wahrks (five of them), the most powerful creature in Riven – a symbol both of the power of Gehn, and of the gruesome death awaiting those deemed unworthy.
While we pride ourselves on the accuracy of all of our artwork, the skulls in particular were given extreme attention to detail. Here’s a more detailed look at the model itself:
While the wahrk gallows is not yet fully textured, we look forward to the asset being completed and brought into Unreal within the next few weeks. Stay tuned for further updates soon!

Awesome work guys, keep it up!
P.S. Is the top a screenshot from the 3D assets cyan gave you? :3

Nope! All the assets we’ve posted have been re-created from scratch, using in-game screenshots and a map for reference.

Oh, sorry, it looked too pixelated 😀
Guess you’re not into AA yet.
Keep up the good work guys 😉
(Btw, it won’t be bad to post a vanilla one for comparison.)

So why again are you guys not using the 3D assets Cyan gave you…?

Did they even have 3D assets? Weren’t they lost?

Love the attention to detail. I for one have a good computer and I’m glad you’re not making any compromises to those who are able to run this game in its full glory!

How does the polygon count compare to the original?

Looks great, jungle island is a huge challenge, glad to see its coming along
By the way, is there any interest in putting the removed paper press from crater island into this game?

Just wanted to say It’s amazing how much detail you guys have put into this. Really like it.
