Hello, everyone!
I'm finally back from my extended "vacation" and I'm able to get back to work on mods! As some of you may know, @Kzisor is going to be leaving modding for a project of his own and has chosen me to fill in and finish what he started with Island Adventures. Earlier today he sent me all the code and I now have control over the direction this mod goes!
So what's happening now?
Firstly, I've got to finish up my work on the Modded Characters In Menu mod. Then my friends and I (Company of Creators) are currently working on characters of ourselves... We first released Daniel and then Erik. However, Daniel will be going under a full revamp and re-release to the Steam Workshop and then we will be making Yan, Keagan, Noah, Chris, and Andrew. After that's all done I'll finally have enough off of my plate to begin working full force on Island Adventures! However, I will be trying my best to have @halfrose, @Arlesienne, @ImDaMisterL, and others work on strings, anims, and art to the side whilst I work on finishing my other projects. We will be trying as best we can to keep the content as close to the original SW as possible. (Aside from the fact that the SW world will be mixed in with the original one) We do have many new creative ideas that we'd like to add to SW but we'd prefer to keep this port mod as close to the original SW as possible and move our own custom ideas to Unnatural Selection which is a massive community DLC mod that will be worked on after Island Adventures gets released. These new additions to Unnatural Selection will only be available when Island Adventures is also enabled on the server.
