Blender 3D Durian project and Glest
« on: 17 August 2009, 16:19:25 »
Hi guys!

Did you hear about the last Blender Foundation project? http://durian.blender.org/

I think it's very "RPGish" :)

don't you think this project should, somehow, be linked to Glest? A commemorative mod pack maybe?

Just an idea,

Yours,

Ortiz

Oh, yes, I've heard of that. I really loved the other blender projects (apricot, peach, etc;) and the game was really cool.

While this movie looks great, and I wish I was skilled enough to help, I'm not sure how you'd want to put it in glest.

Do you mean to adapt characters, etc to make a glest mod? While the concept sounds good enough, I'm not sure if it really is good enough for a glest mod.

A commenmorative mod pack would be what? A tribute to Magitech? The GAE team had begun a project before called the FPM, or Four Path Magitech, where the standard tech and magic tech trees will get an expansion pack, which will allow them to choose different paths, the path of enlightment and the path of reason for tech, and the path of corruption and path of nature for magic. The faction was 'dead' for a while, but due to the openness of the source, I now officially set the countdown to relaunch it myself in THREE WEEKS. That's correct, in three weeks, I revitalize FPM, and will have to remodel many units, make the rest, and plan out the paths.

Leave it all to me, and you'll see if finished (hopefully) before the end of the year!

Yep! I share your opinion ;) It's early to define the plot because Durian doesn't started yet. But that's good isn't it? If there is real interest we can ask someone inside Durian team to give us more details about the story line. The main character will be female... I need to study a whole lot more about how dificult is to add special characters to Glest.

That's looks great! Initially i was thinking about something very simple: just tweak the original Glest skins and models a bit too "look like" Durian, nothing else :-[
