Return to the Workshop
Submitted by Strider978 on Sat, 2005-11-05 21:36 | ||
Yes its that time of year again, the snow starts falling (for some of us), the cars start packing the roadways, the stores begin their gouging, Christmas is in the air. About two weeks before Christmas I conceived and created the mini-siegelet, North Pole: Santa's Workshop. It did moderately well, and hopefully gave a few players some few moments of enjoyment. Well this year just over a month and a half away. It returns. Allow me to proudly present you with the development thread of North Pole: Return to the Workshop. Returning from last year are the two gentleman who gave me such incredible support, your one and only favorite - Narco. Last year Narco was my lifesaver working on the night of the 23rd to help prep the map. This year he was my main man who I went too, he will be putting the siegelet together doing the mapping and also helping out with nodes. Also returning and having more than a week to compose is - John, who last year did a two songs for the siegelet. This year he will hopefully be given enough time to compose a few more. Watch this thread for some coming development pictures. At the moment this is a DS2 siegelet (the first to be released!). However as you all know we still do not have tools for it. If GPG is not able to release the tools in time this will become a DS1 siegelet. I am also looking for more team members, mainly artists. What you can expect: An hour or two of cheesy cliché filled adventure. Keep watch. forums: |

Will it be open-source?
All my mods are.. so the art and nodes will be,
The music however will be left up to the creator to decide.
Now that the toolkit is out work can start on modeling for nodes
Yay!
I tried so hard to get the stupid dsmap to you last year after I worked on it for over an hour straight, but the stupid email wouldn't send! GRrrrr. I'm glad Narco was able to help you out though, his turned out better anyway. *sigh*
PS: What's your definition of "artist"?
Count me then. I think this will help out the community and give siegetheday some more traffic. I have a partial map I worked on(just nodes layed down) and can make models/textures. I was thinking a candy cane weapon would be cool.
May I suggest snowballs as a throwing weapon...
Heh, i got a very low poly sphere i could texture for one . I was gonna use it for some sort of throwing orb. Good suggestion.
Opps that was me. I'm in my vb class.
You should pm/e-mail me and I'll tell you that your one and I do apologize for not including you in this post, I do remeber all your hard work on it last year
Savante I'll get ahold of you.
Grrr sorry(very very sorry) strider I just hate working with groups. I thought I would be wanting to do this and help out, but it is at the cost of my fun. I thought I could do it . I am more of a solo person. You can use any of my open-source content for the project if you want it. I'm a bit strange, one day I will be mapping and the next I may be coding. I seem to have forgotten this problem I have. I get bored then move onto something else.
Ok cant code cant node got enough ideas in my head to make my brain explode so here they are
Needed:
1 Heat miser boss monster (if you can snag the music it will be a bonus (Music from a year without santa clause))
1 Freeze miser boss monster
1 abombable snow monster

I'm Mister Green Christmas
I'm Mister Sun
I'm Mister Heat Blister
I'm Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm too much!
He's Mister Green Christmas
He's Mister Sun
He's Mister Heat Blister
He's Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
He's too much!
Thank you!
I never want to see a day
That's under sixty degrees
I'd rather have it eighty,
Ninety, one hundred degrees!
(spoken)
Oh, some like it hot, but I like it
REALLY hot! Hee hee!
He's Mister Green Christmas
He's Mister Sun
Sing it!
He's Mister Heat Blister
He's Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm too much!
Too Much!
I couldnt find the lyrics for freeze miser but i found ther wave file

Nah I have a list of things I need built, if ya'll want to help I'll put your various talents in, give you an assignment.
I want this to more or less showcase what can be done visually at least, by modding the ds2 engine. If you can only build one node, I'll drop your name on the credits and do the rest myself if you can do more, that means more content for the player. I really don't care what you can or can't do, talk to me and I'll find a way for you to contribute. The more people the better it is.
Hope not hehe . Think I wanted to work on my own open-source sieglet without realizing I wanted to start now. I think this has been the reason I felt lack of motivation. I also have a tut to write and some other projects I'm working on. I do think this mod is a great idea to help get the community togeither modding. That is why I originally wanted to join. I'm kinda wondering if this thread belongs in the sieglet section or do just done sieglets go in there?

Well it is in development, but you moderators can make that call.
Meh, I considered putting it in the Siegelet section but decided against as:
1. In some peoples eyes its not consired 'long enough' for a siegelet.
2. Its a mod in that pretty much whatever I have done by christmas gets released, so unless I get some help it will probably turn out more a mod than anything.
3. It helps boost this forum which is really what I wanted to do, was help out the ds2 modding side.
Nice nodes, Strider
