Goes for my work as well, but I strive for the 2-5 range. My aim is for it to feel plausible in the setting of [recent expansion], either in expanding underexplored aspects like necromancy or in something that could be happening off screen like the Nova Legion conflict and the Palisade Arsenal
in-game roleplayers of ffxiv!

how do you handle lore adherence/strictness?

let's go with a scale from 1-10, where 1 is "i only acknowledge what's explicitly confirmed to exist in-game", 5 is "i fill in empty gaps but don't rewrite things" and 10 is "i have rewritten the entire setting"

Operation - Into of the Void

During a patrol of Babil Tower by Palisade forces, a breach into the 13th was found. The Nova Legion summoned a necromancer voidsent to cause havoc in the Garlean subways, feeding their troops to the horde. Blindsided, [NULL] joins with Mortaeus and uses whats available

You think lalafells would be good at stealth missions because theres less "body" to notice?

Hmm'st've... I haven't even played the game series lol

Maybe I do need to get on heliosphere, I make way too many stupid mistakes that I don't notice until hours later. Like not noticing the entire armor files didnt get added because I had them in textools for testing purposes and evidently forgot to click save when I made the modpack. Oops lol.

Updated Void Jumper to 1.2! Pushed out an update yesterday but it was limited since I couldn't test without glamourer.

Fixed that weird ammo pouch strap glitch, it didn't used to do that but its fixed now. Also made those crunchy bolts blend better.

Remade the gloves as well.

Yessss you can dye the glow part

If you told me my fav content in DT would have been cosmic exploration idk if I would have believed you. But as a kid I watched so many speculative exo-planet documentaries, I wanted to be an astronaut. Such a love letter that embraces the fantastical about it all.

Hoping the new sets play nice with my desire of making mecha nobility mashups to match the inspiration. In the meantime though I'm going to play around with orbital boarding armored plugsuit vibes. Also adjusted the helmet geometry a bit.

Yay or nay? 🤔

Cosmic nobility core?

One of the goofier thought experiments towards XIV lore I have: an OC on the first could get access to an actual literal earth AK through obsolete resistance android gear. Even without neir, it was invented by one guy within a lifetime of novrandts pistol tech which is turn of the century 20th.

Thank you for the first party fur collar on a futuristic naval coat set, the Mecha 18th century nobility aesthetic is always the best.

Alas no polls on blusky, but if you like my little lore blurbs in my mods, I'm brainstorming for a totally hypothetical future project with a model that may or may not be being made by Nagunk.

It may affect vfx so always good to have an idea going into stuff. Polls on the youtube.

Yow previewing some of the new animations with the first person POV+ plugin made recently.

(Vfx weren't transferred properly)

Preview of what the unified sound design option will look like for 1.1

Heftier sound design with hints of the elemental effects, with animations syncing better to the slightly slower fire rate

Protocol γ - Protect the Pilot

An anomaly arose within a GOLIATH unit. The V-L intelligence core began to show signs of an emergent forgekin mind when interacting with their Pilot

It is believed this mutual "synchronization" may be utilized in future designs

BT themed color coming in Operator 1.1

Sunsetting my twitter while I'm at it. We all know the ever growing list of reasons why.

This is going to sound accusatory, but I truly mean it as respectfully as possible.

I think when an overhaul or mod is paid, it creates the inherent need to be a one man army. Modding teams become unviable. You can't ask or pay other people for help, so you do what you can for assets— like AI

Dwemer apparatus forces innocent Shezarrine to zero sum in the middle of kalpic liberation.

NGL, the latter half of this year has been rough, and its probably not going to improve in the near future. Luckily Im in a very fortunate position where even in bad spots I have shoulders to lean on.

In a time where art is more devalued than ever, Ive made some of the stuff Im the most proud of.
