Pity there isn't a dog race suggestion...I know it sounds very typical and common, but I think many people would enjoy it. I do like this though, and would like it in the game.
Something along those lines would probably be good. The issue would be making the backstory and lore interesting enough to stand out, since dogs are a fairly common and popular animal. I mean, the objective I had for the Desulti was to have an unusual animal and unusual cultural inspiration in terms of video game appearances (since kangaroos and Australians are both fairly rare, even if it is unimaginative to put the two together in the same race). For a canine race, I imagine they could come up with a new culture from scratch, instead of searching for a real-life counterpart. That, or they might be able to get away with doing something that is canine in appearance just enough for it to compare, but not to the point where it's just an anthro animal.
Perhaps a dog race, but with a european influence, like a culture based off of british imperialism. Or a culture based off of American idealism and culture? It is difficult to make it interesting, with dogs being a common topic, but at the same time many people might enjoy a dog race. While being unique as a game and what it provides is good, having things people want, no matter how dull it may seem, is part of any good game.
I'll add a few extra suggestions for the OP. The guy above me has some good ones. Anyway, think the Glitch for instance - bunch of robots with a decidedly medieval outlook, that's the kind of thing you want to aim for. Go along with the Aussie theme, but do something that counters the usual ideas. Make them extremely eloquent pedantic speakers (make their dialogue Queen's English with emphasis on overly correct grammar) for instance (speaking as an Australian, a lot of us speak rather, how should I say, sloppy) Anyway OP, here's a few suggestions of my own as well. As for how the Desulti society is destroyed, perhaps they fought off another race of creatures, but because of the shock, the xenophobes had a revolution and took over the Desulti homeworld. Those Desulti who can't or won't tow the line get kicked off the homeworld (like Aussie expats I guess).
Eloquent speakers, eh? I can't say that occurred to me. But I'll have to see if there are any other "counters" I could use. As for the destruction, I was going to do something along those lines. The current plan is a bunch of coordinated terrorist attacks that place the homeworld under indefinite lockdown. The player character manages to escape the chaos with a surplus ship.
Added some descriptions for the appearance of the first few armor tiers. I'll be adding the remainder at some point.
I plan on getting a mod made one day. Probably closer to the full release, since I'd like to avoid early-beta version incompatibilities as much as possible. Chances are I'll need to get someone else to make it as well, since I don't know the first thing about modding.
Just gonna post this here so everyone knows what some of the weapons will possibly look like. More ones coming soon.
This is a great suggestion, I'd love to see it in the game. Hope some modder soul will try to do this!
No problem, it's me, Jonesy and two other poeple doing it. Watch this thread because I'll be posting update pics and whatnot.
Made the first draft of weapon names. These aren't final, so feedback is welcome. Here's the basic naming pattern based on tier 1-10, though there are exceptions. 1. Something a civilian would use / do. 2. Improved / altered version above. 3. What the weapon does, or variant. 4. Usage with meat (Meat Skewer, Meat Carver, etc.). 5. How the weapon is supposed to be used. 6. Effect / usage of the weapon, in vaguely medical terms. 7. Usage as an emergency measure. 8. Reason for it to be used by a common soldier. 9. Reason for it to be owned by an officer / important person. 10. Legendary-sounding name, usually referencing Desulti or Australian culture. Daggers 1. Razor Blade 2. You Call That a Knife? 3.
