[FrisianDude]

Ehh.. okay. Sounds nice. Is this based on a previously existing story?

[Graylord]

Yes, final fantasy 7, there is a war mentioned in the game that this is based on.

[FrisianDude]

Oh, alright. I thought you made it up, which would've been a tad cooler. Good luck with this anyway.

[Graylord]

Well, i have done some coding (Mainly dialogs, changed the currency and music) and doing some map icons right now:

(click to show/hide)

Note: It won't be detailed and entirely correct due to being too complex and used as a map icon

The map was almost finished until i realized i made it upside down.

Also a quick photoshop for the module selection screen:

(click to show/hide)

Edit: I've managed to implement Midgard:

(click to show/hide)

It's using a tad over 5k triangles. Please note that it's untextured since i can't texture, and thus looking for texturers.

Edit: Oh yeah, it's currently floating in the air, but that's a quick fix.

[Locke]

Holy ****, yes! I'm really looking forward to this, Sheriff.

Why is Midgar called Midgard?

Also what music will you be using? I've got a ton of rearranged and remixed FFVII songs, but the originals would be pretty sweet anyway.

[tommylaw]

Waaaahhhh!!! Locke's changed!

On topic, I like the look of the Wutai pikeman...he's got massive balls.

[Graylord]

Why is Midgar called Midgard?

Oh, i studied Norse mythology not so long ago, i must have mixed it with it's original name.

Also what music will you be using? I've got a ton of rearranged and remixed FFVII songs, but the originals would be pretty sweet anyway.

I'm using a mix of themes from FF7 original, Crisis core and Advent Children. Trying to use a mix of music that is not too hard/techno.

[Locke]

That's good, I remember Advent had a few great tracks. I'll go about uploading some of the tracks I have that I think might suit. (spoiler: might not occur due to laziness  )

[Graylord]

Waaaahhhh!!! Locke's changed!

Nah, i just think i hit a weakspot.

Anyway, fixed Midgar:

(click to show/hide)

Now it just needs a texture.

Oh, and i will also have eyecandies like the northern crater visible in the distance:

[Ruthven]

Looks cool!

[ShadowofDeath92]

Epic...

I want that shinra uniform so bad right now. Good luck with the mod, hope you get it done! If theres anything you need done just PM me and I'll try my best to help out.This would be savage.

[The Poot]

awesome stuff

keep up the good work!!

[Goromous]

Yeah, I've never played all of FF7, but I did watch the movie, and I was like... Wait a second... That guy is totally from Final fantasy!

 

[Graylord]

If theres anything you need done just PM me and I'll try my best to help out.

Sorry if i sound ignorant, but have you done anything before?
