Dragonlance Mod: Real Thread

[adembroski]

Well, nobody's said a word in this thread, which leads me to believe there's minimal interest, but I don't care, this project's for me anyways.

So for the odd fellow who stops in and said 'I wonder what's going on with this' I assure you the project is alive and well, but very early in the process and really still in the conceptual design stage.

We've gathered source material... cover art from the novels and game material, specifics from books, etc. and are compiling ideas for how to apply certain concepts in game (religion, wizards, the knightly orders, etc.), and other preliminary work.

I wouldn't say the map is 'done', but we've got about 4 different versions of the final map, 3 of the first, and are still tweaking and messing around to see what we really want overall, discussing the viability of the plains of dust and the northern wastes as anything more than terra incognito, and discussing how exactly to deploy Solamnia to start the game.

So yes, there are no plans to abandon this project, it still sees 2-4 hours of attention from me personally each and every day in one way or another. Once the new patch gets going, the design will be more or less finalized and we'll move to actually modding... figuring maybe 2-3 months for release of the first campaign.

(PS Yes we have units... several, but, because we can't mess with the models much, they don't match the source material the way we'd like so we're not releasing any screens yet, and we are in the process of considering weather to make use of DarthMod open source).
