Indeed my dunmer friend!
Thats why I started this thread.

But I'm stuck between the first two, but I'm leaning towards the second option a little more."
I take that into the poll then

Thats exactly why I'm interested in making such a pack. Altough I'm also aware that attempting this can horribly backfire

You must know that I wouldn't add any furniture. (I had it with furniture after I completed Modelpack 77
) Its primarily to create alien/old ones architecture. Knowing this, do you still chose both or more the prehistoric pack?

Quote: "I would suggest as pack 1, I'm curious, no, I am convinced, because what comes across great. This themed shelf is still relatively empty. Good luck ... "
Its not overdone, altough there are some great indie titles like stone rage.

Thank you!!
That means a lot to me!
Quote: " I have my doubts whether anything useful can be done with it in FPSC.
Especially "Shooting" is pretty much useless against most (if not all) enemies in Lovecraft's stories - and, often they are really huge. "
I agree! But there are also many indie devs that try to get a lovecraft vibe going on in their adventure games. Call of cthulu is also one of my favorite games out there.
Furhtermore is the realm of hermaeus mora in the elder scrolls series greatly inspired by lovecraft. I certainly wouldn't advise to make a game based on a lovecraft story, more a game inspired by the ambience he creates.
Quote: "So, in effect, my vote rather goes to both the other packs, with a preference for the distant future pack.

I take that into account.
Quote: "Look forward to seeing your choice. It will be a tough one as it seems like the folks here are pretty evenly spread.
"
Me too! I'm equally inspired for all of these. I find that I grew more confident with round shapes since Modelpack 77 and am ready to tackle something more demanding

elbow Quote: "I agree with unfamillia - if you feel inspired or imaginative, the distant future/past pack will allow you the freedom to dream up concepts and architecture unknown to man.
If you do not feel inspired, then the prehistoric pack can be created without much imagination and can be a very useful for an adrenalin-rushing scary game."
I take your vote for these 2 packs then
I feel inspired for all of these which is why I wasn't able to really choose ^.^
Keep in mind that the prehistoric pack will still be pretty fantasy'ish. Or lets just say: 100% historically inaccurate.

Actually, its a poll, so it does
Quote: " It may be quite popular too but hard for people perhaps to make them."
Its hard to make a good, coherent game out of it, I agree, altough there are some decent ones like the above mentioned StoneRage...and a game designed like peter jacksons king kong (the game) would work well too...and seems like something that might be possible in reloaded.
Quote: "Pirates might be good but how complex could that be? Ships/Boats? Water? Weapons, Treasure?"
I didn't mention pirates
Also cosmic prophet made a pretty all-including pirate pack! With characters and a full ship construction kit. There is no way I could live up to this.
Quote: "Hardest part I would think for the game maker are the Characters and the lack of them - always?
"
I could make the characters, but I couldnt rig them all that fast which would make it frustrating for me and I can't animate them. Which is why I never add chars to my packs.
Quote: "After asking I would do what you are comfortable and happy with. I am sure it will be great whatever you do."
I put up the poll because these are all equally interesting to me. I could use them all in my own game and have ideas for all of them.
(ideas, not necessarily good ideas tough
) Also thank you for your confidence in me
So far (if people tend to 2 packs, I added both):
*
Prehistoric Fantasy Pack: IIII
*
Lovecraftian R'yleh Pack: IIIIII
*
Distant Future Pack: IIIII
