Yes, agreed: We don't want them to stick out, but rather be extra interesting if you happen to know the real life backstory.

10Kaziem

I support this idea. Little rings and amulets and hidden enchanted doodads would be nice.

10Kaziem

I personally don't think they should be "blood" vampires. Just that if others found out about the deal they made with the Daedra, they would assume it's vampires and get out the torches and the pitchforks. Swiftoak suggested that the immortality bargain be downplayed as far as specifics go...

I'm putting my vote in for using the Drupal forums over the Redmine forums, since I won't be at the Skype Meeting this weekend to do it. I think the functionality and formatting abilities of the Drupal forums, and the ability to mesh them well with the drupal-based website, are going to work better ...

10Kaziem

Wow! Those are really nice. Thank you for them!

10Kaziem

Are we? Any changes for Telvanis are far off, and I don't think we've even discussed what those might be. Eldarion, thank you so much for your feedback. If you see something you'd like to contribute to, it's very welcome!

10Kaziem

I made new art! But you have to go to the new forum to see it. (Sneaky, I am.)

Ask Seneca37, he does automation.

Floor, your models are amazing and I love all of them. in this post: http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?p=330989#330989 There's one small drawing in the concept art that shows the houses built on top of the stronghold base. These bases are really just the elevator and might have some...

10Kaziem

FYI I have a fairly similar concept in shape to that one, so probably we'd want to color the two differently. I'm also a texturer if you would like help with texture making.

Depending on our modeling skills, we could have slightly different hexagonal cantons for each. That link did have a lot of interesting shapes in it.

10Kaziem

That looks fantastic!

10Kaziem

If we use them, which I hope we will, I'll do a texture pass on them.

Habitat: Bluefoot is a mushroom that grows primarily in caves. It prefers lower altitudes and warmer, moister weather, and therefore grows primarily in the northeastern regions of Mainland Morrowind. It does not grow well near ash, frost, or salt, but prefers caves that are coastal or moist. Despite...

10Kaziem

Hmm, this is very interesting. I also strongly prefer replacers that keep the vanilla feel.

10Kaziem

Eventually I'll be posting some photoshopped screenshots as potential color palette ideas, which will give us something to look at.

10Kaziem

It is the intention to not use these exact forums anymore because they are incredibly old and in need of some sort of update. We're not sure what forums we will actually be moving to, however.

10Kaziem

Those doormats are great! I like the hexagon shape ideas, though weren't we going with the idea that the main houses would be square in cross section? That's what our half-completed tileset is doing right now. The cantons are hexagonal, of course. If the symbolism is that important I can't imagine t...

10Kaziem

I think this story works regardless of where we situate the council. The fact that the Dres are doing a mysterious thing, unknown to the outlander, is totally fine.

10Kaziem

That's a great book! That was a really good read, very interesting, absorbing, and it felt very authentic. There's a few typos in it, but it's excellent nonetheless.

EDIT: I'm not sure what you mean about the council, but I think this is an excellent portrayal of the Dres.

10Kaziem

Yeah, I think we're waiting on this skype meeting to figure out what's happening and what forums we'll be migrating to.

10Kaziem

Ooooh those look very nice. The colors are a bit too even and saturated on some of them, which is why they appear a bit too bright. I am thinking of the blue and green. But, that's only a minor texture fix, and these are lovely.

10Kaziem

Do bluefoot mushrooms have an ingredient associated with them? (Also, I designed a few cave plants, though I'm not sure if they were liked. They were never made into models, in any case.)

10Kaziem

The architecture is based off of current tileset, which goes on top of the hexagonal cantons. The plates and things are for not particular house, just fun.

10Kaziem

If someone posts a picture of bluefoot mushrooms I can make up some lore for them, based off of their distribution and where they have been placed so far. If we want that.

10Kaziem

New sketch detailing my idea for modular exterior sets, so we can build awesome cities. This should be based and styled entirely off of the existing tileset.

10Kaziem

Personally, because I designed the saltstrap for the Deshaan, would like it not to be used here. It's a desert plant, made for arid climates.

Other than that the concept looks alright, I might poke some suggestions later.

10Kaziem

Gardens don't have to be friendly, though that's a good point. They could easily be rock gardens or salt gardens or something like that. Depending on how they are modeled, the gardens could lend odd, hairy or tentacled silhouettes to the buildings. Also, the Dres are agricultural, so they might have...

10Kaziem

I think Seneca, and I have rudimentary modeling skills. Not sure about anyone else.

10Kaziem

In the land of concept art:

We could use concepts for groundcover type plants and undergrowth (small trees, bushes).

We are going to be working on Dres lands eventually, and would like to start collecting concepts on how House Dres settlements might look, from the biggest cities down to the smallest farms and tents. Have ideas for how a house, a street, a farm, a bug nest, salt mine, or anything else might look? P...

Rough notes summary for 12/12/15 meeting is now here: LINK

The notes are no longer in the to-do list.

10Kaziem

FYI the new textures I linked in my last post have no alpha at all, meaning they have to have new models to go onto. One of them is a rug with a ragged edge which might need alpha anyway. When you get around to playtesting these let me know and we can make sure the models and textures line up right.

A sticky, of no particular urgency, of tutorials and resources for people who think up, write, and then implement quests. Could end up as a website bit instead of a sticky.

Google doc: [click here]

Add any ideas or commentary in this thread or to the bottom of the google doc.

10Kaziem

The first post has been updated with an updated WIP, which has been posted without formatting. The most current version is at the bottom of the google doc up there.

Does anyone have feedback on this? Or, think this is good enough to post right now and then tweak later?
