Hello ans happy holidays folks! It's been a while and I have been a bit busy to say the least. School, the mod, holiday crap and then some if you watch the news... or wear a tin hat.
Anyway!
I'm writing this to tell folks the state of things as they stand and where I plan to go. As i've said a few times in the discord and perhaps in the thread i am utterly winging it! Well, yes and no; I'm winging the execution rather than where I'm actually going. So, to put it in defined terms. I'm experimenting with how I want to get to my destination.
My destination or the goal is to add some better graphics to the current lineup and add some chaff-ships of sorts that fill more strictly civilian roles in SS. Looking at Metelson's as a whole, that makes sense to me. They're not exactly the same when it comes to the tri-tachyon. They want profit of course but, they're more consumer centric I'd feel within the universe. If that could be likely.
To that end, I think some strictly civilian ships that fill or help add variety to certain roles while looking as if they don't belong exactly to metelson's is my goal. Likewise, in the process of these ships being created, new graphics and new military ships are in my list of milestones to get to. That may have to be next year for implementation if it all isn't lined up as I'd like it.
I don't like springing massive surprises, though, small ones i think are good.
keep's a player on their toes with a new mod.
So, in the works currently:
New Mantarn sprite
4 ship designs in the design and paper state (where I draw them on paper as a visual guide very useful for Asymmetrical ships.)
1 ship sprite in Krita ready for working on
and about 5 at most older ship designs i want to reconsider. Something I've satated before on the thread here is that I wanted to bring some of my older designs back from the grave-yard.
Otherwise I have some weapon designs in mind as well and have been looking into music production though, again that'll be implimented later as I find, commission, or produce my own sound/music.
With that, have a happy holiday everyone!
PS: Stay home on black-friday!
