Current Count: 700

 

Graphic Content is a mod intended to add some variety to your randomly generated workers. No mod (or even the default database) seems to ever include quite enough free pictures, and it's always frustrating to play a years-long game in C-Verse 97 or the Thunderverse and realize that you've just seen the last new face the database has to offer. While there's never going to be a perfect solution to this problem, Graphic Content is my attempt at correcting the issue.

 

Graphic Content is:

 

- Art taken from hundreds of published comic books.

- An attempt to use familiar faces in an unfamiliar way. While you might recognize quite a few characters from DC or Marvel, I've avoided using images which might be seen as "too superheroic." You won't see Superman in this picture pack, but you might see a reporter in glasses who bears a striking resemblance to him.

- A free pictures file which can be imported into the database of your choice to allow for easy integration of new randomly generated workers.

- A work in progress. I expect Graphic Content to exceed 1,000 pictures before release, and plan to follow up with at least one other add-on pack.

- Coming soon. Keep an eye on this thread for regular updates.

No joke, there's a guy who's one-starred every thread I've started since 2008.

 

About 2 months ago I went to the GDS General Discussion board and asked Ryland and the crew to switch the boards/sub-forums from star ratings to a thumbs up/thumbs down system like youtube has to prevent dumb stuff like that.

 

I reminded them that youtube had a 5 star system in place many many moons ago and it had to be scrapped because it just wasn't effective.

 

They didn't seem to take much heed though; they removed star ratings all together from a few boards but that's about it.

Quick quasi-update before the weekend is over: While I haven't cut any pictures in the last few days, I've been gathering quite a few new pictures for the pack. My next update will probably come close to doubling the number of pictures currently included in the pack, so keep an eye out for that.

Count updated from 470 to 700. Work has taken a bigger toll on me than I'd expected, so I'm going to cut this off at DC images for now and then try to follow up with a Marvel pack a little later.

 

I've still got a little over a hundred images to sort through, and then I can start on the Free Pictures file.
