    To be completely honest, I love this game more than anything else ATM and it is definitely consuming my life, however.
    I see one problem.
    There are no Xeno mods. OR Predator mods. Which would be awesome

    Think about it... Xenomorphs in abandoned space stations or on select planets, with hides that you could collect and craft into whoknowswhat. I don't know. I can't mod. So I came here.

    I would LOVE it if this happens, or even if a Predator mod works out(species, npc, weapons, whatever)

    I have no idea how much work this would take, but I'm sure 85% of the people out here can benefit from this.
    Just sayin

    Mod makers... please...?

    Only if I can kill a player by planting a facehugger baby in their belly.

    I believe a pulse rifle look-alike is already in the game.

    Working on both Xenos and Predators, could take a while as I want to do an entire dungeon specifically for each of them, much like how the poop enemies have their own sewer dungeon. Getting the Giger style in pixel form is a bit of a pain but once I'm done I'll release it of course, just don't expect it soon, likely after new year for Xenos and probably February for Predators. If someone does either of them before me then I'll still work on mine as there's no harm in having two different ones! :D

    like the xenomorphs have their hives with face hugger eggs and the queen

    while the predators should pretty much have their own planet since in the last movie "predators" humans were being hunted by them on a jungle style planet

    also, the queen should be a boss, if anyone knows how to make a boss?

    this is what I would like to see

    -predator armor (can turn you invisible also, with heat signature vision)

    -xenomorphs (they can drop blood acid and the tail, the tail can be used as a spear)

    -xenomorph hives (packed full of face huggers, captured npcs, and the queen)

    -the queen (a boss, duh)

    -maybe predators (just something nice)

    -abandoned colonial marine ships/bases (would be neat if you found some xenos hanging around in a creepy ship)

    if all this was being made, I'd flip out :eek:

    A wicked idea for sure. And yeah, I can imagine it'll be a struggle to Giger some pixels. No harm in trying though, and you can always update down the road. If you figure out how to get creeps to crawl on the ceiling without being limited to it (like the mechano-spiders in the sewers), you may very well be a king among men. :) I'll be watching eagerly!

    1. Xenos will come in their standard form, queen (miniboss), chestburster (near bodies) and facehuggers (near hives). They will spit acid and tail whip will basically be running into you, like vanilla mobs do unless I can get it to work better. Facehuggers and chestbursters will just jump at you to do damage.
    2. Xenos will only spawn in their own minibiome and dungeons (dungeons being abandoned/partially wrecked human dungeons with hive corruption).
    3. Predators will also have a minibiome, they will come in one variation (with a very small chance of dropping their various armour pieces and weapons), they will also have a dungeon if I can get it to look right, currently thinking something similar to avians with a more predator vibe, xeno heads on spears, de-fleshed humans hanging from the ceiling, etc. Predator attacks will be mostly melee and some rare shoulder cannons.
    4. Colonial marines I might not do at all, if I do it won't be abandoned or overrun, likely to be villages where you can buy gear from the mod instead, although a crashed ship with a lone xeno or facehugger might be an option.

    Hehe, yeah I noticed they were a bit easy to kill off, when they can't reach you it's pretty easy, that might be something Chucklefish fix later so I might just have them as normal mobs first and see how that goes, if they fix it then I'll use that, otherwise I'll have a go at it myself.

    I'll create my own thread when I have a suitable amount to show, 2 tilesets, multiple dungeons, unique mobs and a race with it's own armour and weapons alongside suitable rewards is a lot to do :p

    Seems like it'd be pretty easy to make predators only attack you when you've got a weapon drawn...

    Well
    I still haven't found much in the ways of predators, but I've found a xenomorph race... which hasn't been updated in a while..
    and... I think a pulse rifle mod? Idk
    I just know not much is out there about this topic.
    Which is still kind of a shame..
