I need ideas
« on: July 15, 2017, 02:38:56 pm »

So, those who saw my recent forum post on Planar Fortress about me taking a break from the mod after... i'd say a few months of inactivity. Well, it's not a break from modding as a whole, (After all, you have to keep your skill up!), but im completely at a modder's block. The only idea I have really is a Gnoll civilization, but even that i have nothing for.

Why not an Ice Age creature pack with mammoths, sabertooth tigers, and such? It seems like it would be easy enough to make in a week or so, and I'm pretty sure there isn't already one for the current version.

That could work, yeah... Question is, would I make them naturally available in the tundra, or make them encountered in the caves along with maybe a new type of stone theyre said to come from... decisions decisions.

Some ideas:

IDEA 1:
There is a detailed book rpg called gurps.
The fourth edition of it has a book called gurps space, this book has a super detailed alien/specie generator part.

It would be awesome, to have a mod where:

1-You remove ALL living beings from DF;
2-Populate it with living beings generated from random alien generator.

You wanna help with Furry Fortress

I had a lot of ideas, but I've gotten back into developing games on my own, so I don't have as much of the modding itch anymore.

Once im back in the swing of things, I will. Just kinda inexperienced with species stuff.

Idea 2:
Make a mod with the monsters from DOOM II, (excluding zombieman, shotgun gyt, wolfrenstein ss, heavy weapon dude and commander keen).
The mode would be their lifes at inferno.

There's a lot of things besides species in FuFo.  For example, I've been trying to make a reaction for carnivores to distill water and brew blood wine, so that they have drinks they can take on embark, but I'm having trouble with the barrel reactions.  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163222.msg7390366#msg7390366

There was an idea about the frog-people turning vermin into food:  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163398.msg7402081#msg7402081

There was a long discussion about adding incense and canabis:  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161857.msg7361009#msg7361009
