SP Antiquity [WB] SUMO PARS - STARTING OVER

[Deyshawn]

Thanks Deyshawn, but at the time of the first try, Fraoliva and me decided that would have been better not to set any precise timeline, nor span.
We wanted to have more options and justify a little less historical attention with much more gameplay.

Same reason to reject your suggestion: giving players the possibility to choose a path rather than a blind choice was part of the main idea.
Picturing a "barbarian" that guided by will and/or events ends up in one of the two sides (hence the title) sounded much more interesting to me. Not to mention that the setting itself suggests a rather grey border between what was Roman and what was not. Here's why as well i waited so much before starting the thread itself: it took time to write down notes about the many items like encouters or places, as well as conversations and characters that should have been the motor for the choice along the road. Don't get it wrong anyway, this is just as i thought it.

However, now that i gave up because of my work, it's up to Fraoliva to make eventual choices, so many things could be changed and/or improved.

You wouldn't happen to have any notes on your computer that you could PM me, would you?  Because I'm thinking I'll end up as the story/dialog writer.  And I'll try to honor the original vision; it's certainly a neat idea.  What did you plan on doing with the Roman Empire to weaken it enough to not crush the barbarians?

That was coding work, and why the mod stopped in the first place.

I asked for help to the diplomacy mod team and something similar to what i imagined and suggested to get what i wanted here, was made for that mod afaik; we were already off by then anyway...


As i said before i'm on holiday and i don't have the other computers with me atm. I will get back home in Italy this weekend at the earliest and i will have some time for a quick search.

If you'll be in the team then Fraoliva himself will be able to show you what i found

I'm glad to see you guys are working on the mod again!

 

[fraoliva]

  Great news everybody


Everything's going much better than what I had planned (it was basically me modelling in a dark room, alone and waiting for someone to get interested  )

The news are:

- We've got a coder, and he will be anonymous for the time being;

- I've been working on some nice models to replace those that got old (and were never very good, to be honest)

- And... oh, that's it.



  Expect it to live on.  We'll work on the dark, but we'll be there.


  Oh, and @GothicKnight, can we still use some of the models you've made for the mod, and if we can't find them, could you send them over? 


and @Deyshavin, yes, you are in, you can work as historical researcher, or story-teller, tell me via PM, and we'll settle it 


  Thanks everybody, signing out

Hello everyone, sorry for double posting, but it is for good news...


Preview and early alpha credits


Yes, we are nearing an alpha!

Our Coder (who will remain anonymous), has already managed to succesfully implement 11 factions, and is currently working on troop trees and items implementation for them.

  So here I post a little WIP credit list, with pretty much everything we added/are adding to our mod.

  If I forgot to credit anyone, please take a moment to PM me, and I will add your name to the list. Also, if you see your name on here and you don not wish to be, PM me and your name will be taken down and your content removed from Sumo Pars.

And, as I know people want to see pics (or it didn't happen) , here's a preview of item implementation on our alpha. The important there is the helmet made by CounterPoint quite some time ago, the rest is placeholder, until we get all the stuff that Caprera gathered.

Cheers!

Oooh! Excitement! Also, have you contacted the Brytenwalda team? You might be able to use a few of those items. The less models you have to make, after all, the more you can concentrate on coding in lovely new gaming features...

 

[fraoliva]

We are still on it, waiting for the stuff from caprera now, so we can implement it all.

I'm not sure if I have them any more..

 

[lyndon]

It would be really great if this will come along. Good luck!

 

[Gothic Knight]

Not really too sure if you guys are interested, but I just ported my Spangenhelm model in-game. I think some Limetanei can use it(without the chain aventail).
