An Artifact Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) (I have no idea where to put this, but I think this category should be alright) Ladies and Gentlemen, consider this a cry for help. My mind has been haunted recently, by an idea that simply won't be silenced by such petty things as reason and logic. Spoiler I see before me, a character mod. Not any character mod, no. A mod of Gilgamesh, the dimension-hopping, weapon-collecting self-proclaimed master swordsman from the Final Fantasy universe. How such a glorious character is not already an existing mod is beyond me, especially when that wimpy blond potatocup of the same name from that Fate thing is available. Alas, the tragic part – having absolutely zero experience with game modding (aside from editing the occasional .ini file to get rid of fov-induced headaches) and also being completely artistically inept, I find myself completely unable to create this mod on my own. So, I beseech you, fellow admirers of Gilgamesh, because I know you're out there! If you find yourself smitten by his gloriousness, and also are the slighest bit talented at creating character mods for Don't Starve or Don't Starve Together, please... do me and the whole of humanity a service! I'll even write all the custom quotes, since talking bollocks is the only thing I was ever capable of. Spoiler Here are some ideas of how the character might play. Stats: Health: 200 Hunger: 150 Sanity: 120 These are just baselines, of course, but since Gilgamesh is all about battle, at least his health should be reasonably high. He usually carries a set of Genji armour in the games; this armour is often times among the best sets in the games it appears in, almost always providing immunity to status effects. Alas, status effects aren't really a thing in DS outside of the poison in Shipwrecked and arguably sleep darts/mandrakes. The armour could be included as an expensive craftable; no idea what the recipe should be yet, but due to matching colour and status, I think it should involve thulecite. Maybe call it „Genshi Armour“ or somehting like that to link in with Gilgy's fake weapon gimmick Now, the most interesting aspect that also would be the hardest to implement – Gilgamesh can 'morph' his physical appearance; usually from a smaller 2-armed form into a big, bulky 8-armed form. So how about, using a similar technique as for Woodie and his Werebeaver form, if certain conditions are met, Gilgy can burst out his extra arms and go wild? For example, he could have a bar similar to the log meter that slowly fills the more he hits enemies, and when it's full, he transforms. In his morphed form, getting hit doesn't hurt him but lowers his morph meter (which obviously also goes down passively), and when it empties he reverts back to his normal form, but with filled health and an almost empty stomach. Obviously I'm just spitballing ideas here, and for all I know that morphing mechanic might be downright impossible to implement. But I ask you this – would it not be cool? Because I think it would be. Rise, Fellow Fans of Final Fantasy's Fantastic Character! If we all work together, we can make 'Wilgamesh' a reality!

Donke60 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well we have a good modding commuity but most of use like challenges that come with characters. So I would think of some debuffs for your character. If its for DST I would ask @SuperDavid We also offer tutorials. 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70929-clash-on-the-big-starvation/#findComment-826117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I just threw this out there on a whim; don't really expect anything to come of it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70929-clash-on-the-big-starvation/#findComment-826120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm decent at drawing art but trying to draw something as overly complicated as this guy would send me to an early grave... And most of the powers you want I don't know how to do either... I'm not really good at modding, sorry lol.. Artwork is exactly the thing I can not do. If I take a week or two of holiday, I might be able to teach myself the basics of modding, but artwork really is beyond my capabilities. Which puts me in a minority in these forums it seems Well besides, the model obviously would be simplified for the DS context The japanese have this really weird tendency to horribly overdesign their characters. Back in the day when they only had 8 or 16 bits to deal with, they were forced to reduce the artwork down to a very appealing looking baseline, but now that graphics capabilities are up, they can go wild with their overaccessorized outfits that probably take a good 10 hours to put on. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70929-clash-on-the-big-starvation/#findComment-826133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage156 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What surprises me is that Asgore isn't a DST mod. Don't hate me for saying this but I think Odin from FF8 is better than Gilgamesh -_- 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70929-clash-on-the-big-starvation/#findComment-826236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, that isn't Gilgy's only appearance in the series, albeit it is the coolest looking one. 12 minutes ago, Arlesienne said: I aim to please: http://xhiara.deviantart.com/ Lohis is an awesome person and a skilled artist.

I'm about to retire to bed, but I'll look further into the matter tomorrow. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70929-clash-on-the-big-starvation/#findComment-826243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
