Help her!!

Setting up ADLR unit stats and focusing them entirely on tasks other than combat which, of course, makes sense given what that Replika is supposed to be for

However, it is taking literally all of my strength to not give him one point in melee instead of a debuff because, I mean, if you ask Elster,

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 3d

also yes I vastly increased the chance for replikas to get the gay or bisexual trait you're welcome no need for the standing ovation

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 3d

Drew some hair, gave them their outfits and the Kolibri found her diamonds. Also added some more stats to the frames. Numbers are all still placeholders because I need to actually PLAY THE GAME with them at some point

I do plan to add in Falke, Adler, Elster and Mynah by the way, don't worry

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you!

I definitely intended to stay simple at first but I literally cannot help myself when the game’s systems are so detailed already lmao, it feels like a waste not to take advantage and make them unique

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

Oh this too. A lot of placeholder stats, but, ya know, it's there

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

Last update for tonight and maybe the next few days, not from lack of motivation but I'm gonna be busy. I have to bother some people who are better writers than me to help with the backstories aaand I'm gonna need to draw a LOT of hair for all these lil guys

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

These icons look prettier in-game 😌

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

ooooh compression did not like those at allllllll

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

working on BORING UI art assets

I can post others if anyone wants to see any specific ones better I guess

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 5d

Okay, got name generation working and backstory assignment. I may need help writing up some nice backstories that work, but aside from that I mainly need to just work on traits now. I mean, I have them figured out, but I just need to cherry pick what ones I want to be allowed for each xenotype.

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

A mod for the game Rimworld!

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

I actually disabled reproduction for them because I would in fact like to make a system where you grow/make them similar to the in game mechanoids :v

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

One more update for now, got health conditions in. I really need to do backstories, but I'm not confident in my writing ability for those. I might poke some people who are better writers than me for that.

Also I gave EULEs a built in -5 to melee, this one REALLY wants to kill with her hands

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

I understand that things may have gotten out of hand I think

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

Had some trouble figuring out some tags but I'm getting there. Also made some custom hair

Gonna focus on making EULEs right now, once I do adding in everyone else will be easy enough I think. Wrestling with traits and genes still, not sure if I wanna tackle name generation next or something else

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

okay I have to give it functionality now but STILL

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 6d

I cannot BELIEVE adding this worked first try baby let's fucking gooooo

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 7d

I'm conflicted by the fact if I want them to be actually accurate then, realistically, the Replikas of each type should literally have the same stats. And look the same.

I could do that and their gimmick could be that they're only any good at what they're made for, but also, that might be boring.

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 7d

More work on the funny Signalis Rimworld mod. I gotta figure out name generation and uh... probably make the xenotypes actually, well, any good. And make specific traits and genes and backstories! but everything right now is mostly just so I know what does what. I'm getting there though

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 8d

Falke(s)!

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 8d

i'm gonna have to make some new head sprites myself i'm on my own for that :v

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 8d

yeah i was overcomplicating it lmao, slept on it and fixed it instantly.

bluesky is making video uploads fail right now so have this funny testing screenshot. Gonna try and get falke's sprites working now because that's what the creator of these art assets was having a lot of explicit trouble with

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 9d

Will I do that? Who knows! What I do know is that I understand how quickly mod feature creep can get out of hand and I’ll be doing this one step at a time for now

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 9d

You know what will be bad? If I go through with the idea I came up with to add persona degradation.

I realized I could have an overall Replika race which can use xenotypes to specify specific Replika models. That would in turn facilitate persona degradation conditions.

Critnuke @critnuke.bsky.social · 9d

There’s like three ways I know for a fact I can fix it but I’m just letting myself struggle with some settings first to just make sure I’m understanding how they all work. Overall though this shouldn’t be too bad.
