Pandemic's Art and Modding Corner! Bringing Pretty Back since 2017!

What kind of games do you like? I lately played just “This war of mine”, but this game isn’t really a “fun between” game.
For in between I’m used to play the Binding of Isaac or A Wizard’s Lizard. Also FTL is a good thing. They are all “rogue likes”, so mostly a game is ending within 30 minutes. On the other hand I like playing Prison Architect, Borderlands 2 or Hotline Miami. But as said, it is hard to suggest if one don’t know your likes… ^^

So, My sister-in-law and I were discussing Stonehearth and talking about my mods and future ideas. So we were trying to think of things that arent in the game and she said “Is Rick-Rolling in Stonehearth?” so… yeah FEP might rick-roll you guys at some point.

FAIR WARNING!

Is your mod now compatible with the latest build?

No :/, it needs to be updated and @Avairian hasnt gotten back to me on that yet

I wish I had some recommendations for you, but unfortunately, I’m looking for something as well! truth be told though, I’ve been spending far too much time getting my home network all squared away…

decided to finally “cut the cord” and need to get some things squared away (rokus and broadband and plex servers, oh my!)…

Cool, looking forward to when it is ready.

In terms of game suggestions, I suppose like @Programmierer said, depends on if you are looking for a specific type, but few suggestions include: (Indie, Alpha)

(1) 7 days to die: said to be “minecraft meets Dayz” - essentially minecraft with zombie and “REAL” survival. Can be quite tough if you play solo. Zombies can see, sense, and smell you. Trying to hide in a house with the raw meat you just hunted = zombies will smell the stench from the meat and come for you.
Playing with friends makes it really fun

(2) Kenshi: “squad based sandox RPG” - you can recruit a squad of people, with multiple stats to level like RPG, you can direct control and order individual, or assign them to automatically do certain work. Build base anywhere (except close to town). Bandits come and raid you and fight each other. One interesting concept is you don’t always die straight away, but rather most of the time your people are beaten up and left to bleed to death, but if you can get someone else to bandage them and put them in a bed they will recover. Injury is body part specific with related effects.

Some examples: YouTube, YouTube

(3) Project Zomboid: Another zombie survival game, scavenge, beat up zombies, and try not to get bitten (because the infection will kill you within a few days and it’s game over!). You can choose perks but have to balance it out with negative traits. Bring on Agoraphobic Atheletic Clumsy Axe Man!
Fun, if you don’t mind the graphics

(4) This war of mine, like suggested above, highly acclaimed with good reviews. Forces you to feel the emotional and physical struggle of the citizens caught up in the middle of war. Morale vs survival. Shovel to the back of head of elderly people to raid their house? Food to starving children that turned up at your doorstep when your people are already dying of hunger? Your choice of actions will influence the mood of your people; making them to morally wrong things depresses them and eventually they will commit suicide if depressed enough.

SO, Alpha 6 came out. I’ve been asked where FEP v.3 is at. Well here is a update about it!

UPDATE:

So over the past few versions we’ve had some issues. Between the Smod issues and the time restrictions we couldn’t really update the mod to it’s fullest. SO. I started looking for a 2nd Coder to help out and recently one has appeared and offered to help out!

They are the mastermind in the Color’s Mod and the color changer program he recently released for public use. That person is @chimeforest. So give a warm welcome because Chime updated the mod with the V.3 pieces and upgraded us to Alpha 6. Go over and show the Color’s Mod and Color Program some love!

QB Recolorer: QB Recolorer for Colors Mod
Color’s Mod: [Mod] Colors Mod by Chimeforest

Furniture Expansion Plus Version 3 will be released before next Monday and will have 11 new pieces of furniture added to various crafters like Potted Trees, Workshop expansion items and doors. IF it’s up and running by Friday I will be live-streaming it for public eyes following which we’ll release it.

Hope to see you guys Friday :smiley:

This is great news indeed! I’ve been patiently waiting for the time this got updated to alpha 6. Having used @chimeforest mods before I’m sure it’s nothing short of exceptional.

Hey Everyone!

So, as you may have noticed FEP V3 hasnt been release, we’ve been really busy due to the holidays please forgive the postponing of release.

While we’ve been down though Ive been helping out a bunch of people with some mods they wanted to do. As well as experimenting with more stone pieces and some more classic style furniture.

I’ve put the Link to the Past treasure chest in FEP, as well as a few PokePlushies. I’m wondering if you guys would like to see a pure reference furniture pack, it would have some fun new pieces I’ve made like this one:

This table is literally, a tetris block table. Still a WIP, but I was thinking of making a pack for things like that. If I can get some good responses I’ll livestream the making of THE ENTIRE MOD! From Model to Mod, well up to coding cause I really suck at that.

That’s all I have for now, I hope to do more after the holidays pass :slight_smile:

EDIT: Oh, btw I recovered my LoL account today :stuck_out_tongue: Going to be playing that again soon!

I love the idea of a pure reference furniture pack :smiley: and I love your streams

Alright everyone I got news time for…

AN UPDATE!!!

So, I’ve found a good chance at full-time employment! I’ll be working on a night shift so I’ll be sleeping on the daytime meaning the people who like my content will be seeing more during their time slot.

NOw for the bad news. I’m working night shift so a majority of my time will be work and sleep. Since I turn models out as fast as The Flash can move, I’m hoping it won’t be an issue. BUT This does mean I’ll be holding off on making new content until after I have a lay of my time usage.

Of course no update will be complete without a model so I’ll be back on later with a FULL LIST of every piece of furniture I have planned for Alpha 7. and Maybe Alpha 8 :stuck_out_tongue: along with with a pic of some of the models for FEP v4, which like Alpha 7 will be focusing on the Mining and Stone pieces of the game :smile:

Later

Good luck at your new job :smiley: Unfortunately for me, as me and you are on similar time zones I may have some problems attending your live streams, but i’ll make an effort.

UPDATE:

As some people know I am starting a new job very soon! This will let me do some stuff I’ve always wanted to do, and I’d like some help deciding on some of them. I also have a announcement or 2 for you so here we go.

So, I wanna build a Desktop PC that is both great for gaming but will also allow me to do my Youtube timelapses as well as game play videos in the future proficiently. The problem is I have no idea what parts I should use for that type of build. I know some people have built their own PC’s on the discourse so I figured I’d ask for some assistance. I’d prefer to not go over $2000 on the build (excluding peripherals like mouse, and such). If you have any ideas please let me know :smile:

So, with my new job I need to make some changes to my budgeting. Which means the rented computer I’ve been using for the past 6 months, will be leaving my possession. What does this mean I imagine you asking me? This means I’ll be getting a cheaper laptop to own, which also means I might not be able to do my livestreams or video making until my desktop PC is built. :frowning: Which really sucks cause I love that stuff.

Now with my announcements. First off, seeing as I may not be doing anymore streaming soon. I want to livestream. I’ll be playing some older games through means I am unable to disclose. Along with possibly some qubicle if I feel inspired. Which may happen.

Secondly, just because I won’t be doing my streaming or a majority of my gaming… I’m really hoping that my new laptop can handle Stonehearth… I will be continuing my war with settlement ambiance and non-sexiness. So, FEP and some other fun stuff won’t be going anywhere!

That’s all for now, I hope to see you guys later :stuck_out_tongue:

Update:

So… I’ve been gone for about a month and alot has happened in my absence, just caught up on my missed streams and junk. I’ve got some fun stuff in the works as far as projects but as it stands nothing sound for Stonehearth sadly enough.

Gonna be working on my own 3D model work outside of voxel art hopefully I can get used to and good at that :), If I find the drive and the want to learn code I may start doing my own mods again but until I do, I’m hereby pulling out of modding my own mods. I’ll still work with other modders to do models and fun stuff but nothing will be released by me in the next few months, I just don’t have the time :/.

That’s awesome, you can make a full career on 3D modeling.

I’m sad to hear it, but I understand completely. Maintaining mods is tough work and doesn’t give you the creative satisfaction of new mods. And starting new projects with little time is always challenging. Good luck :slight_smile:

So, This week I have no work so I’ve taken to Qubicle and Blender to do something small and fun. Nothing amazing but it’s pretty nice. Gives me more experience with Blender for my larger project and keeps supporting the community with cool stuff and I’ve never seen this done so, I’m doing it!

Teaser to wet the whistle.

Pretty huh?

Heeey~ he’s back! That looks phenomenal!

Continuing the work on my mini project, I’ve managed to fix alot of issues I’ve had and add some awesome little dodads and bits to the scene, rig the skeleton, and get some lighting up and here’s what I’m at so far:

Eventually I hope to have some bushes, trees and a backdrop onto this. Going to add the Stonehearth Logo and release it as a desktop wallpaper for those of you who love the modeling in this game as much as I do.

The hole this undead is crawling out of is made custom along with the landmass he’s on, everything else is Radiant made and taken directly out of game. I’m hoping to have this done in a few hours but no promises!

EDIT: Well I’m working away at this alot faster than I expected… SO another update on it.

I filled out the scene more with logs,a tree , wall lanturn and a small garden. Feeling much better about it now, hopefully I can finish it soon. Pic:
