Some great models!

First class guys, well done :smile:

Wow… Piano should be cool, maybe a few tunes and a productivity boost when played?

Anyway, coolness abound!

Yup, it’s the Link to the Past Chest :smiley: I like tossing note furniture in packs +5 points :stuck_out_tongue:

and as far as actual features go, like the piano doing certain things and the scarecrow being goblin repellent. We’ve had a point of until we know it won’t be added later we would prefer too not add anything that will just be removed later for some other reason. Keeping things simple and just releasing furniture packs and other fun nick nacks like that, has a lower chance of us having to remove things like functionality.

I’ve already seen the scarecrow and other things we have planned for mods appear on the 2 Week Request thread thing that Tom made. Our way of doing things insures that we wont need to remove anything and we can add functionality as the vanilla game allows it. This also keeps us in a minimal fix time between Alpha Updates.

That being said, We may do that in the future. If there are any objects or furniture that you would like aded feel free to tell us.

Thank you for all the kind words and excitement, as I said before if you guys want to post pictures of your towns using the mod pieces, I would LOVE the see them (I have only seen what @Avairian can show me) as I haven’t seen a lot of them in game yet.

Peace!

Update:

So, @Avairian updated Nihonjin Mod page with a new picture and an update on the code progress on the next mod. If you haven’t already go checked it out! There is a forward on Post 1 of this thread.

I decided I’d let you know what I’ve been working on lately and get some input and requests in.

Been continuing on my Helmet Scratch Pad tossing some concepts together, made ,y first attempt at a horned helmet still might tweek it, Colors are WIP

Started a Weapon Scratch Pad, working on various swords, spears and shields. Here are a few of them. I do want to add some to the game, once the mason is out which is looking like the next profession added I hope to have some stone variants of these in the game.

A tease on a couple of models making there way into the 3rd mod, I figured why do trees only need to be cut down, why not have some potted ones for interior decor.

I would like you guys to post some suggestions for the 3rd pack, I want to start adding ā€œplayers choiceā€ objects in rather than just concepts and pieces I have on my mind. Feel free to post those and let me know what you think of these little pieces.

Latest Development: @Avairian is having some schedule issues, so I am in the market for another coder. Basically they would do the same job Av does just for different mods and to help update old ones. Av has requested that they must be able to keep his modding format. If anyone is up for the task, PM me here or on Steam.

Enjoy!

Oooo, Ooooo. These are really nice. I also have a request… can you make a scythe? I’ve tried but it never turns out for me, so I wanna see what someone skilled can do.

I’ve tried to make Scythes, I think it was successful but I’ll keep trying to push one out

UPDATE:

Today I turned 21! Yay ageing! So I figured before I vanish for a bit I’d toss a quick update. @Avairian and I have been digging around the new updates of the game and found some pretty cool stuff, so we’re going to finish up with the 2nd Furniture Pack then postponing the 3rd pack for when the mason or next class comes out.

Been continuing on the model work for future packs, I have finished a good 4 more furniture sets, once we find a backup coder we can start pushing those out. no pics today sadly, but I will update when I come back from my trip.

PEACE!

Happy birthday mate! :birthday: Enjoy your trip!

Hey Everyone :smiley:
I’ve returned from parts unknown to bring more fabulously simple yet beautiful content!

I’m going to be sharing some of my newer works and hopefully do some streaming in the next few weeks on future mod projects. Still looking for a backup coder, hopefully I can find one soon before resorting to be my own backup coder (That’d be interesting).

Let me know what you guys would like to see an hopefully the pace will pick up soon :smiley:

So, I’ve been powering away at models since I got back. During my trip I saw a bunch of interesting this that would fit pretty nicely in game if the designs were done correctly, I thought I’d share some of them with you today. Ever since the mason outfit appeared in the games files I’ve been working on stone pieces, here are 2:

Like this stone flower pot, I’ve been thinking of making one since flowers became moveable. It feels very simple but the colors and pattern on the side make it feel solid and stone, while maintaining my modelling standard.

Then we have a basic stone bench, I added a quick and simple decorative arm rests that I feel bring out a kind of royal feel.

That’s all! have a good day.

The bench looks very Roman-esque! I like it!

UUUPPPPPDDDDDDAAAAAAATTTTTTEEEEE:

Longest Update ever. Being the word not this update.

So, I’ve been modelling my awesome hands off and helping out @Valiance get his minecraft server going so I have nothing regarding future content to tell you about. ALTHOUGH @Avairian has been continuing to work on the 2nd Furniture set and has supplied me with a killer image of 2 of my favourite pieces in the pack .

Check out that awesome work, Piano and trapdoor look sick! I love the scaling on all of them and they seem to fit well.

He also tossed me a ETA for the 2nd Pack, about a week. So if everything goes swell we’ll have Furniture Pack 2 out to the public in early October! After this mod’s release we are going to crank it back and start some heavier work on Nihonjin (I may have slaughtered the spelling on that, I usually do). I’ll leave @Avairian to fil you guys in on what’s going on for that. Check it by going over to his thread, link at post 1.

Tah Tah for now!

Good work. I like the cellar door. But on grass it looks a bit out of place :stuck_out_tongue:

My photography and exterior decorating skills go right in line with my artistic talent, don’t they? :wink:

Today we have are releasing the new version of the FEP. We’ve decided we’ll be updating the existing mod with new recipes and updating it like that. We have added even more stuff to the game including a Piano, Awnings, Bars and a trapdoor. Along with all the new stuff the last versions content is also there.

LINK: Dropbox - Error

We were closing in on 100 downloads on Version 1, I am really hoping we can hit it with this one!

Enjoy! Remember to head over to @Avairian’s Mod Thread, he just released a brand new update to Nihonjin which adds some pretty cool stuff. so make sure to head over there, link in Post 1 of this thread!

EDIT: I almost forgot, Post some screenshots here or on the Alpha 5 Screenshot Thread! That way @Avairian and I can see all the awesome things you guys are using the mod for!

Good day!

Announcement Day!

The next mod coming out from us on this thread will be Profession Expansion Plus! Much like the FEP, it’ll feature furniture and other items that rather than being generic pieces anyone would like to have this one will feature items that will add more to your villagers workshops! Like the object below:

Hopefully I can come up with enough stuff that can make this mod awesome :p!

Go check out a Let Play by @Krovikan! He’s using our FEP mod, go see what he’s up too here: Kingdom of Bathum w/Furniture Expansion Plus
