Well, there have got to be some fans of George R. R. Martin’s popular series of books, or the subsequent television series, so I thought a mod based on Westeros would be interesting.
The player could eventually:
Choose a house and banner based off of the series.
Assign settlers professions based off of actual professions and roles from the books. (For example, Kingsguard, Small Council, etc.)
Amass an army to secure the Iron Throne.
Use the [Pirates, Ninjas, Politicians][1] function to take down King’s Landing from within.
Would this be a Stonehearth mod, or would this be a standalone game? I love the concept, I’m just curious how you would do it with Stonehearth . Maybe take it from a mod to a standalone game?
I don’t have near enough experience to create my own game engine, but I hope to eventually mod the game enough that it is an entirely new experience after getting bored or regular Stonehearth.
This should be very much possible as a mod. Some examples can be already found in the forum here… might be a good starting point to get additional ideas.
let’s see those concepts and models, please! and as my well dressed colleague pointed out, perhaps a melding of the creative minds is in order with @Froggy?
I noticed that when discourse brought up that handy “Topic may be similar to” window, and his concept models look really good. I wasn’t personally interested in the whole PvZ/Tower Defense gameplay, but if he is still planning on making the mod (@Froggy’s last post in topic was in 2013) I would be happy to collaborate.
However, I am not looking in to modding until the modding path is set in stone. Even then, my first efforts will mostly be a reskin of the existing game models with minor tweaks (think 1492)
Even the few features mentioned above would involve a fair bit of programming skill. After completing my Uni programming module, I realised that it was all a bit too daunting for me.
Well, I tried my best to make a few banners. Baratheon, Lannister, and Stark are all complete. It’s quite difficult to constrain these house crests to fit in a single banner.
For now, I’ll only replace the texture of the camp flag with a single banner, so no choosing of houses will be involved. Now to work on the actual 3D character models.
This all brings me to realize something; I’m not as good at pixel/voxel art as I thought I was. If anyone wants to help me, that would be great.
