Mod Description:
A mod set in the Fate/ TYPE-MOON universe. Primarily based on the rules established by the Grail Wars featured in Fate/stay night, Zero, and hollow ataraxia to create a unique gameplay interpretation of the RPG elements presented in the works.
Primary Features:
Summon a Heroic Spirit, a chosen hero from throughout all possible time and from all possible universes, into one of seven powerful Classes as their Master in order to wage war for the Holy Grail, an omnipotent wish-granting device.
Magecraft, modern imitation of the Magics used during the Age of Gods, albeit still extremely powerful.
Enhanced Hand-to-hand Combat, with Skills, Noble Phantasms and a specially devised Damage System, the Grail is easily within your grasp! If only those other darned Masters didn't also have access to them. Those pesky Mages.
Modern Weapons, what? You think a Magus should only work out of a grimoire? Why fight fair when a round from a Walther WA 2000 to the opposing Master's skull is just as effective all without dealing with those pesky Servants?

Calradian Holy Grail War: Explore Calradia as it currently stands, with a twist. Six other Masters explore the world as what are essentially neutral lords amassing forces with their chosen Servants in order to fight and kill one another (AND YOU!) in a bid for the Calradian Holy Grail, the omnipotent Wish-Granting Device. What will you wish for?
Fuyuki Holy Grail War: Explore Fuyuki on foot, meeting NPCs and avoiding combat with enemy Masters. This will feature the Church and Mage's Association to keep you in line. No revealing to normal people that Magecraft is a reality. Maybe try to strike up a deal with another Master in a bid for power, avoid conflict and strike at the right moment to secure an easy victory, or use superior combat and Magecraft skills to decimate your opponents.
Tokyo Holy Grail War: Essentially the Fuyuki Grail War but instead of Fuyuki it takes place in the highly urbanized, entirely fictional version of 1991 Tokyo.
Great Holy Grail War: Team-based Grail War! Red Team versus Black team in a 7v7 massacre waiting to happen. This one might be multiplayer. Who knows!? I certainly don’t. In fact, I probably know the least out of anyone!
False Holy Grail War: Another fourteen Master Grail War, this time, a true free for all taking play in Snowfield, USA. I haven’t read the content this one comes from, but it’s here! It seems pretty sick, tbh.
Moon Cell Holy Grail War: This one’s weird. In a world with no magic the MOON ? is now a PVP zone for digital Grail Wars to happen! With no Mana, Mages now rely on Codecasts and Hacking for combat! Following so far? Make sense, right? Well, the dopest **** is this is a 64-participant Grail War! I intend to implement it by having a randomized Tourney of all available Servants and Masters that is punctuated with dungeon crawling aspects. Strengthen your Servant in order to get the leg up. Espionage, studying and strong detective work are all asked for to help increase your chances of discovering the True Name of the opponent’s Servant and hopeful giving you the advantage in the 1v1 Combat.
Grand Order: Calradia is home to the latest pseudo-Singularity. Join Chaldea as a Master and Save Humanity. Start with three Servants (Awarded by gacha. What else?) and amass a Servant army in order to take on Shadow Servants, Beasts and armies of undead bent on the destruction of Humanity. This one takes place in Calradia but changes the parties to FGO mobs and allows you to collect all 35+ servants to use as your Army. No non-Servant troops outside of Magecraft Summons and Noble Phantasms in this scenario. I will also implement the Rock-Paper-Scissors relationship between the Servant Classes for this to add another exciting layer.
Fuyuki Holy Grail War: Explore Fuyuki on foot, meeting NPCs and avoiding combat with enemy Masters. This will feature the Church and Mage's Association to keep you in line.

I am hard at work on a whole host of different aspects of the mod but here’s the rough order in which I will be working.
- Passive Skill Implementation
- Mod Specific Presentations and Menus
- Rough Art Pass
- 3 Knight Classes (Saber, Lancer, Archer) - Full Implementation
- Riders, Assassins and Special Class Servants - Full Implementation
- Damage Systems (The way the rules work, attacks must pass a certain threshold in order to do damage and I hope to emulate this)
- Opposing Masters
- Scenes and Map-work
- Grail War Type Differences
- Noble Phantasms
- Casters - Full Implementation (Are last because they’re boring, honestly)
- Combat A.I. (Have normal troops in Calradia fear Servants, allow Servants to fight at blinding speeds, give them advance combat techniques to give them the edge in battles against non-Servants.)
- Implementing skills will not always be easy. Noble Phantasms even more so than Skills. I’m not exactly a seasoned vet with MBScript and certain skills will require a lot of thought. There are currently 60 skills in my code waiting for me to find out how to properly use them as well as 40+ Noble Phantasms to work on.
- Modder Burnout. I’ve only been working on this for a month or so, but I’ve made innumerable mods in the past that died on hard drives and never made it past a few implemented abilities. I feel strongly that this will keep going for a while, but anyone who has worked with me in the past know that I am passionate and hardworking until I hit a roadblock and then I oftentimes disappear. (Hi, multiple mods that I promised content for. I'm doing a thing!)
- Announcing a project I intend to finish to the world. This community has a lot going for it, but it’s not what I remember it being when I was younger. I hope to use this mod to inspire younger modders to branch out of the usual Fantasy/High-Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Historical Fantasy/Post-Apocalypse genres mods all seem to fall into and take risks with cool properties or just that **** you like.
- Compliments. Thank you, I love compliments.
- Ideas on implementations of Noble Phantasms or Skills. I am working on implementing all of these and so I would love to hear how you think X/Y skill could be implemented in the game.
- Discussion on ways to make the mod better. I genuinely suck at M&B and understand that my form of gameplay isn’t everyone’s so I would love to hear what would make this better for people who play like you.
- HYPE!!
- Helping ya boi come up with a more lore friendly name.
- Questions on how any of this will work or what any of this might mean.
- Complaining about genderswap Servants. I also find it weird that King Arthur is a perpetual 15-year-old girl, but I am doing the nasuverse canon genders regardless.
- Complaining about Anime. It's not the most popular thing on this forum, that's chill. I like it, but that doesn't mean you have to. It'll make for a fun time regardless.
- Requests for specific Servants. The way my systems work, they aren’t very malleable for the time being, so it will be difficult to add Servants, Skills or Noble Phantasms. Maybe in the future when I have the luxury to do a more modular system, I'll hammer one out in order to allow future additions..
- Requests for Art Assets or Code Snippets. I will release what I think will benefit the community on the whole, but as of this moment everything is closed. If I choose to release content for other modders usage it will be clearly labelled and easily available. I'm generally pretty generous with features I think are cool and can be used in more than very limited cases.
- Childish Remarks. I’ve been on this forum since I was 17. Now I'm 27! I'm ****ing old now! But, I was you once! (Yes! You! My guy!) I sometimes go through my old posts to gain humility because I used to be a complete twat. Don’t be like old me! Let's just be kind to each other. In this thread, at least.
- Asking for release dates. This is Taleworlds, guys. We’re supposed to be in the soapy embraces of love! Let’s exemplify that by never talking about a release date on this thread. Ever. Not once. Even when I do release! We'll pretend it never happened and just hang.
- Negativity in general. I get it. Be a killjoy, pessimist or whatever. That’s chill. It's even fun sometimes. Just maybe not here. I hear Reddit is a cool place to be mean to strangers on the internet.
So far no one knows about this project, so there aren't really questions to be answered. I'll put some hypothetical ones whenever I actually have the time to write a few nonsensical things.
I'll come back and touch these up and all future questions are to be answered in actual detail
Why an Anime Mod? (I was inspired, it's a fun series. Anime mods usually die young, so I'mma try to kill the Curse. If Zombie mods could do it, so can we.)
Why announce now? (I have built a solid enough foundation to continue to work off of and want people to know because I like to be held responsible)
Fate is based on an eroge visual novel with literal h-scenes, will you be following suit? (I'mma answer this right now, firm no.)
It's also considered a sort of dating game, will you have dating sim elements? (Another hard pass.)
Fate is Anime, will you adapt a anime style visuals? (This is fair. I'm not sure. I'm still playing it by ear. Probably, though.)
What's your modding background? (A lot. Goldsrc, Source, 1.011 and some Warband. Mostly 3D art, but I like scripting.)
Do I know you? (Prolly. I don't really go by SupaNinjaMan anymore, not for about five years. I left it as my name here to tie me to my old projects. You've probably seen me around as Sionfel or dstn.)
What happens if the curse strikes you? (I release everything as OSP. Art, Scripts, everything to live with someone else. I doubt this'll happen)
What happened to you previous projects? (My most recent mod, a D20 themed mod from 2011, died with a hard drive.)
Why isn't there more media? I know you primarily work in art. (Right now the visuals are mostly Native with the newer stuff not being easily shown in still images. Mostly I've done code stuffs. I'll implement much more visual things shortly to make this page a little more interesting.)

Testing my laying the groundwork for various Servants and their stats. Shortly I'll be introducing a comprehensive summoning system for the player and NPCs with upwards to 50+ Masters able to summon Servants based on the Grail War being fought in. (The initially implemented Grail War being a traditional Fuyuki-style Grail War fought amongst Seven Masters and the usual political and martial clammerings of Calradia) a few things, like height, weight and info tier will be implemented into the character stat sheet but not implemented in any meaningful way. It's more to stay true to the source material. | |
Initial art pass for Fate/ Mod Project. In this photo we have: (left to right) Rule Breaker - Caster Medea (F/ SN) Bakuya/Kanshou - Archer EMIYA/Nameless (F/ SN + Ex-series) Unnamed Dagger - Rider Meduse (F/ SN) Excalibur and Avalon - Saber Artoria (F/ SN + Zero) Caladbolg - Saber Fergus mac Roich (F/ GO) Aestus Estus - Saber Nero Claudius (F/ Ex-series) Medea's Staff - Caster Medea Stone Axe-Sword - Berserker Heracles (F/ SN) Bridal Chest - Berserker Frankenstein (F/ Apocrypha) Gae Buidhe - Lancer Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (F/ Zero) Archer's Bow - Archer EMIYA/Nameless (F/ SN + Ex-series) Gae Bolg - Lancer Cu Chulainn (F/ SN) Gae Dearg - Lancer Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (F/ Zero) Durindana - Lancer Hector (F/ GO) A lot of these are UV'd and flat textured, but not in Blender so don't mind the textures being wonky or non-existent. Sort of a first-pass so that the Servants in game have something to differentiate themselves on the battlefield with. I'm not super happy with a few of these and they'll be redone, but it's nice to have a placeholder in the meantime. | |
