Kirhos [Discontinued] 0.5 FINAL (1.0 Compat)

Cyberpunk Space Rodents!

  1. See you, space cowboy

    Yako
    TL;DR: I will not be updating the Kirhos after this. I have changed permissions so that other people can continue working on this mod & redistribute the assets without needing to ask me. This version download includes both the modpak itself and the unpacked source for the mod both for pre-1.0 and 1.0. If you wish to continue following my creative work (including future plans for Kirhos continuation), you can find me on Twitter (@yakomeg) or on Tumblr (yyako).

    Before I begin: This wasn't an easy choice to make. It has nothing to do with a lack of personal interest in the species themselves; I love my cyberpunk rats. And the community, while small, has been amazing to me. It doesn't even have anything to do with having a job or other projects.

    Simply put, I have very strong and very negative feelings about Starbound 1.0. [You can read a summary of my experience here].

    I don't want to be modding a game I will absolutely hate finding bugfixes for, and I feel like many of the changes story-wise, on the frontend and backend, severely limit what I'll be able to accomplish with the flavor of the race. Honestly I'd really prefer if I didn't have to update the mod for version 1.0-- removing the AI dialog, in particular, was a little heartbreaking-- but I said I'd do it, so I'll do it.

    This will, however, be the last official release of the Kirhos. As I mentioned in the tl;dr, I'm allowing others to update it in my absence should they want to do so. Maybe someone else can make the ship not look bad! (A girl can dream, right?)

    I already have ideas about where I'd like to take the Kirhos post-Starbound. I'm keeping it under wraps (kinda), but I do bounce ideas around on Twitter! I also post things that are too long for Twitter, like concept art, on Tumblr.

    Thank you all so much for your support. I wouldn't have gotten this far without you. This is rather bittersweet for me, and I hope that, even though this news is sad, you too can find some goodness in it.

    Signing off as always, cheers.
