[Dev] 9000-verse: Ultra High Definition X


Recommended Posts

#HYPE!

It may have been a given at this stage, but just to make it official, the 9000-verse WILL be making an appearance on TEW 2016.

 

For those who don't know, the 9000-verse is a mod that blends Comics & Manga; Cartoons & Anime; a bit of pop-culture & movies; GDS & some other bits and pieces and smooshes it all in your face like a giant pie, but instead of banana cream the filling is lots of modular goodness

 

If you're familiar with my workrate you'll know that it definitely won't be one of the first mods out the gate, and it may not even be one of the fifth, but it will get here eventually :)

 

HOT OPS!

Hot opportunities you say?! Yes!

 

As mentioned, my output is as slow as cold molasses on a Slowpoke (just one of the many timeless references you might find in the 9000-verse!). But you know I've got a sizeable foundation to work from and you know that historically I do eventually deliver.

 

I've got a lot of additions that I'd like to incorporate into the 9000-verse and I'm sure you've got yours, but right now I expect that most, if not all, of my work will be tweaking and bringing the existing 3,500 workers and other other data in line with 2016's new features. That's the bad news

 

The good news is that I have this plan (inspired by DeadCeleb) where I'm thinking that maaaaaybe we could kinda crowd-source this thing? We all work together to make this thing bigger and more incomprehensible, yeah?

 

Bit more Detail

What I'm looking for right now is people who can would be willing to create workers and the odd promotion(s), that I would integrate into the full database. I'd give you a specific area of focus and potentially a list of workers, etc. and then you'd go at it. Of course I'm open to suggestions if you have specific interests.

 

(One thing to know beforehand is that I am pretty snobby about artwork - a worker is less likely to make it into the database if the art style doesn't mesh or isn't to my taste. Just a heads up to that cute quirk of mine)

 

The gameworld will be undergoing some changes from TEW 2013, and that'll be a clearer separation of countries and the focus within. So generally speaking Japan will be anime & manga; America will be comics; Canada will be cartoons & as well as 'toon-style' workers; United Kingdom will be video games; Australia & NZ will be Pokemon and any other animal/monster style battling that might fit the bill; and lastly Mexico will be luchador as well as a safe haven for Real World wrestlers that may have been sucked into the 9000-verse

 

--------

 

It's a half-baked plan right now, but if you're interested in contributing to the mod then leave a note in the comments!

<p>I would have loved to help you with this! Unfortunately I've got too much on my plate at the moment so I can only give you words of encouragement so here goes... with great power comes great responsibility... just made that up myself on the spot. See how inspirational I am?! Bet that's completed half the conversion already. For the other half, well... I'm Batman... where do I come up with these gems?!</p><p> </p><p>

Seriously though, good luck. I'm finding converting the data to be a lot of work to get things working just right.</p>

Oh my god, I'm very excited for this. I'm a pretty busy person in general but I loved the other versions of this mod so anyway I could help I'd be happy to. Good Luck <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Great to see all the interest and that the fans have followed over from 2013 :)

 

Fleisch, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the data conversion process. I'm usually so busy with data that I don't get to play test the data as much as I would like

 

Everyone else, I think I'll create a Google doc or something similar and we can start looking at getting this ball rolling

I've never done any modding for the TEW games, but if you're willing to accept help from a complete noob, I'll see what I can do.

 

I'd really like to do a Twitch stream for Extra Life where I book for your Touhou project promotion, as a counterpoint to a bullet hell charity event I organized in March.

 

If there's anything I can do to help make that a reality, I'm on board.

Noob help is a-ok :) We all start somewhere haha

 

Okay, what I've decided to do is start up a Trello board. I may do a Google Doc afterwards, but this is a bit cleaner and makes it easier for me to keep track of things. It's basically a moving plan of what I'd like to do, what's still to do, and what's been done. Members can be assigned to tasks, discussion can be had, and fun fun collaboration can be made

 

I'll send a link to those who have shown interest and we can go from there. Continue to let me know if you're interested

I'm not much of an artist but I would be down for promotion and bio design for things in my wheelhouse.

 

I'd also suggest that relationships be overhauled... things like MDC2 will be hard to play with Batman hating the Joker meaning neither will work with the other now, etc!

As it happens, I just so happen to have a heap of bios that need doing :) Sending a PM your way!

Just wanted to say that we've got an impressive amount of people who have put their hands up and braved the idea of a teamwork based mod. Work is already progressing way faster than ever before and even if it all implodes tomorrow I've already got a great deal more information and tossing around of ideas than would have happened if it was just me talking to the wall.

 

So for that, thanks to everyone so far!
