| I've been gone for a while. Most of you know this due to your nightly parties of "Yay, that fuck's gone!" Unfortunately, I'm back. And I'm better than ever. I plan on making a fork of IVAN. That's right! I didn't go "Continuing IVAN" because someone's happy to do that now and there's a more important thing in my mind to work on. What is that? Why, simple! There's a game that could use a ton of content (IVAN) and a game that could use a PC port and some new features that has a ton of content (Shiren the Wanderer). So, plan on seeing a Asiatic-themed fork soon. That's all the preview I have. |

| Last night I was in a pizza place (which also has burgers, ice cream and salad bar) and I saw some girl eating her salad with chopsticks. It took her a good 20 minutes to get anywhere with her meal (maybe a fifth of the salad if she was lucky), by which time her friends were ready to leave. Not necessarily related to your little "projectu" but I figured it was pretty funny anyways. |

| So, I was wondering, is your mod going to remove non-asian content? Or is it just adding asian content? | |

JimmyJ wrote So, I was wondering, is your mod going to remove non-asian content? Or is it just adding asian content? It's mainly going to remove Attnam, New Attnam, most of the monsters, a good number of the items, replacing all the gods, and removing the Gloomy Cave and UT. I plan on basing the game on Romance of the Three Kingdoms partially, Shiren the Wanderer mostly, and some other stuff on the side. Oh, and replacing the materials. Most of IVAN doesn't fit in the setting though. |

| "Think less Gundam and more Romance of the Three Kingdoms" This made me laugh... if ONLY because Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Chinease (Sorry if Spelt incorrectly) Well I might as well tell you a few things Arcane as help (you are most likely aware of them) 1) Japan has very low levels of metal. So weapons with a lot of metal should not entirely exist in your version except as a godly weapon. 2) Metal armor (Chest wise, I THINK there was metal helms) all but doesn't exist and is based more on being scary That is all I can actually think of right now. |

| "I'm going more for Japan" + "I'm going fairly asiatic" != JAPAN ONLY GRAAAH I'm aware of Japan's poor metals. I was planning on restructuring the materials systems as such. Katanas are also quite easy to shatter and this will be reflected. Bamboo is going to be the most common, easy to use and awesome material. |

| Don't forget Arcane that they did use their weapons as shields... So include a type of Katana which is a minor weapon but has largely a good block chance |

| I plan to. :v Current plans: Enemies level when they kill another enemy or a friendly creature to the player. Enemies will have three tiers. Standard enemy evolution will be a palette swap and greatly increased abilities (1.8x stats for first level up, 3.6x for second?) as well as an improvement in general abilities (hedgehog spines will do much more damage and have a higher damage chance) Wands? No wands. Bye, wands! Staves will replace them and still be usable as weapons. Scrolls will stay, as well as more powerful books which allow multiple casts but vary much more as well as being quite easy to ruin (water, blood, vomit) Edo and Sengoku era stuff from Japan, mainly RoTK stuff from China. I may dabble in Hindu religion. Either 8 or 9 will be the base for everything. 8 materials, 8 major missions, 8 major bosses, 8 minor bosses, 8 types of material (gas, metallic, silicate, liquid, etc) where instead of Harden Material it will be Strengthen Material. Gases will get more dangerous, as will liquids. Three major towns, five minor towns. Three major towns are connected by mines on their outskirts that all enter a unique dungeon with interconnecting levels every 8 floors. The five minor towns will all have mini-dungeons with their own little plots. |

| Arn't you setting your sights a bit high? Maybe you should scale back some of these things to save time, such as 8 types of material seeing as a big chunk don't actually do anything other then cosmetic changes. As for books, are you saying that equipment inside your inventory now face the horror of liquids? so drowning puppies could ruin my Book of Torrental Winds? It is rather late so Ill keep the rest of my comments/suggestions/criticisms to myself |

Neonivek wrote Maybe you should scale back some of these things to save time, such as 8 types of material seeing as a big chunk don't actually do anything other then cosmetic changes. Nope. 8x8 = 64 = enough. 8 types of flesh, 8 types of liquid, 8 types of metal, 8 types of silicate, 8 types of wood, 8 types of gas, 8 types of food, 8 types of rock. No problem. Neonivek wrote as for books, are you saying that equipment inside your inventory now face the horror of liquids? so drowning puppies could ruin my Book of Torrental Winds? Yes. Blood may make a few books stronger, as could tears. Neonivek wrote It is rather late so Ill keep the rest of my comments/suggestions/criticisms to myself Feel free to ask as many as you want. I'm getting ideas. |

| I am spamming my own topic as a journal I guess I added the effects for Amaterasu If she loves you to all hell (Valpurus-level of "Here's a shield go away"  she'll illuminate you (For now this is toggling the Wizard x-ray vision thing)If she hates you you get turned to parchment. It's really great for walking around because I mean parchment is crazy flexible but I got instakilled by the following with it and no armor:1) Hedgehog 2) Kobold 3) Spider web + spider 4) Banana peel |
