This month's challenge is "Animal Related Stuff"
More (or improved) models for "real-world" animals brought into D&D, such as monkeys, crocodiles, smaller birds, additional types of snakes, the platypus (with or without fedora), insects and arthropods (giant dragonfly?), improved elephants and hippos, etc. There have been some of these around for years, but could use some drastic improvements.
Also, how about items and placeables used for dealing with animals, such as smaller cages, grooming tools, harnesses, slaughterhouse equipment, training equipment, full sized stables, chicken coops, etc.?
And what about prefab animal blueprints with stats, or various new animal AI scripts, or new traps for capturing (but not killing) animals for those human druids and rangers out there? Maybe new spells that specifically target animals.
You could even go so far as to create animal-motif PC/NPC clothing (armor/shield/helm/cloak) models/textures. Breastplate with a wolf or lion head design? Eagle head shoulder pieces? Snake design shin guards? Armor that includes small decorative metallic wings or tintable (cloth/leather channel) feathers attached at various points?
This theme was suggested by
The Amethyst Dragon.
Guidelines:
- It must be fully working in game.
- Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine, though state-of-the-art amateur's work would require 100% original work, but that's up to you.
- Teamwork is welcome.
- Beginners most welcome, don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!
- All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to me (NWNCCCMakers @ gmail.com) or a non-Vault link provided by July 2nd, 2012 (which is a Monday) at 10 AM EST. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. ;-)
Some things you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster (otherwise I will just pester you with questions!):
- 2da lines needed.
- Screenshot *from in game* for use on the vault page (this also gives me hints on how to display the new goodie).
- Portraits (if needed) of your new goodie. ** Placeables and monsters should include a portrait. **
- Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goodie.
- Any credits you would like listed.
- If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
- Also if you would like an invite to the CC Makers group, send Rolo Kipp a friend invite. The group is nothing spectacular, mostly just documentation on 2da lines.
- If you are doing tileset content, *please* let me know ahead of time so I can get you the set and itp files to work with. I’m horrible at merging those so this bit you will need to provide.
Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity and surprise!
