The portcullis raises and "The Prince" rides forth in full plate on a scaled draconic horse. His winged helmet and glowing red eyes are reminiscent of Warduke, though the Prince seems to predate the official D&D toy & cartoon character by at least 2 years. (Don Greer, Down in the Dungeon, Squadron/Signal Publications, 1981)

loose approximations of how my old character Portcullis would look according to my current style/taste. His horns are a pain to freehand but fun to draw at the same time

A Game of Thrones, Eddard IV

He crossed the outer yard, passed under a portcullis into the inner bailey, and was walking toward what he thought was the Tower of the Hand when Littlefinger appeared in front of him.

“You’re going the wrong way, Stark. Come with me.”

Hesitantly, Ned followed.

Littlefinger led him into a tower, down a stair, across a small sunken courtyard, and along a deserted corridor where empty suits of armor stood sentinel along the walls. They were relics of the Targaryens, black steel with dragon scales cresting their helms, now dusty and forgotten.

Would it be possible to make a closed portcullis as a window (basically so I can put it on a wall in a pool for an underground passage/sewer.

Castle Kit Windle (Part 2) - Build Set for Castles: Doors & Windows

The original windows and doors in the Sims2Store "Castle Kit" was a bit limited. I needed more. More sizes, more variations. Here are the results.

Windows:

I needed nice and practical but small windows. Glass was expensive. Look at old castles, few and small windows. They were also cold, the castles, so big windows were RARE.

Two of the windows are edits of SDA church set windows. Four are edits of the original window in the set (the one with bars). The smallest narrow window is liberated from the sets decopieces.

Doors:

Smallest size of doors fit on lowest floor height. The variations: - Door with Thin Arch - Thin Arch - Door with Wide Arch - Wide Arch - Closed Portcullis (behave like an arch in game) - Open Portcullis

The sizes:

Low, Medium, Tall, Taller, and for Portcullis also a Taller Narrow size.

Finally, a deco Drawbridge.

It is a deco object - you can make a functioning one if you place it on a platform.

"omg omg I can't believe she's really here, what if I...touch her to see if she's real?

"OMG SHE TOUCHED ME BACK"

"Please don't be mad I showed you my weird doll."

(Christine's into it though)

On That Day, Five Years Ago

This is based on OG more than anything, using updated Remake visuals. But, since I haven't finished Rebirth, any spoilers are from the original game. I have no idea what shenanigans they have for the climax of part 2 and all of part 3.

I always loved Mideel and finding out the True Flashback of what actually happened in Nibel. This moment, where Cloud is Just a Guy filled with a righteous fury, he has the strength to wield the Buster Sword, avenge his hometown (including everyone who didn't think much of him) and kill* Sephiroth.

I wanted to contrast just how weak Cloud is, how average, how utterly human; and how heavy the Buster Sword is... and duty, and honor, and sacrifice, and all the other meanings it's accumulated through time. And somehow, he has the strength to wield it.

I also wanted to give a twisted, holy vibe to the Nibel Reactor, with bundled wires hung like a vaulted ceiling leading to the altar and the sarcophagus of a false god.

*death doesn't seem to inconvenience him much, let's be real.
