[Character] Warwick

[LibertyOfTheAether]

Hey there. I've recently tried my hand at modding Don't Starve Together. My understanding of LUA is basic at the moment, but I'm hoping to develop my own character mod.

Warwick, the Goat Herder
"It could be worse."

Abilities

- Can handle animals
    - Warwick can periodically collect electric milk from goats via brushing
    - Starts with a brush
- Can endure the heat
    - He's used to hot temperatures and will take longer to overheat.
- Has bad luck with weather
    - Warrick has a chance to cause lightning strikes when his sanity is low
    - He hates rain and loses sanity more quickly in wet weather

Base Stats

175 Health - Being alone for so long has made him tough.
200 Hunger - An average amount of hunger for a man his size.
150 Sanity - He's not adjusting well to all of the supernatural things he's seeing, and thus has lower maximum sanity.

Short biography

Warwick is a hermit who lived in the Northern Territory of Australia. Due to some unfortunate events in his past, he chose to live away from other people. He's learned how to scavenge off the land and has no problem with handling animals. He managed to tame feral goats when he was in the outback and developed a taste for goat milk.

He came across a strange door when he was out traveling. His curiosity got the better of him and he took a step inside. When he came to, he found himself in a strange world where other people were trapped just like him. Since he's well experienced with survival, he feels obligated to share his experience and make sure everyone makes it out alive.

What's done

1. Dialogue (see attachment)
2. Adding brushable component to Volt Goats
3. Starting with a brush

What needs to be done

1. Character art
2. Make it so that brushing goats is only available for Warwick
3. Heat resistance
4. Lightning strikes on low sanity
5. Make it so that volt goats don't run from Warwick when he approaches them

 

I would love to hear any feedback or ideas you have for the mod.
