Hello everyone,
it has been some time since the last update and things have been progressing well. Derega has already finished the base bodies and clothing options for the most part. The hair will be done after that since there were a few complications between some of the hairstyles and the clothing layer. This means a few adjustmends will be necessary compared to the original sketches.
Below you can see a few of the wip versions of the clothing options starting with the base layer which will be used for pre-sapients. Below are ruler and scientist. At the bottom you can see the assimilated pops under a machine assimilator empire. They will remain hairless and also later get a more greyish skin to lean a bit more into the borg esthetic.
Tr33 has been working on new additions to our mod as well as resurrecting parts of at this point abandoned mods to preserve them for the future. I'm stating the obvious here, but of course with permission of their original authors.
For the coming update besides many fixes and improvements, which will be listed in the changelog later, the following new additions will be included:
Tr33's new special system - Myco - which spawns on galaxy generation and includes an excentric paragon as well as a whole load of space mold. It is also vaguely connected to a second system, which appears during the lategame.
Professor Vir - originally created by Tanner during the Modjam2024 - is a legendary paragon you may find during your exploration phase.
Future additions will be:
A modernized version of the Caretaker Origin made by AlphaAsh during the Modjam2020 - a standalone build is already available to test and open for feedback here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3577196939. Once Tr33 deems it ready, it will be merged into MEM.
Parts of Inny's "Forgotten Empires" and "Archaeology Story Pack" mods which fit in well with our existing content.
The before mentioned updated is still planned for 4.3 before Nomads gets released, so we'll have a stable and hopefully bug-light legacy version.
See you again next time!
