What's your modding experience? As you’ve never posted here before, no one here is likely to know of any work you may (or may not) have done before.
Completely new to it. Only been doing it for six months. It was a fun challenge.
What's the size of your beta team?
A small handful, less than 5. But with a good perfectionist in the team. If you want to try it out, contact me on Discord.
Who is working with you on this? Is it mostly a solo affair?
Exclusively myself. Anyone else is free to add onto it, however.
Do you have any screenshots other than the galaxy map which could have come straight from Sithspecter's mod?
Sure, a few. But I’ve only finished development the other day, so most are of unfinished modules. I could send you the load screens, however.
With some minimal research, I see you’ve posted two videos on YouTube. Will all of your characters be aliens? If so, is that why you say there won’t be any AI voices?
If you skip to the 10-minute mark (roughly) on the longer video, you’ll find my first Basic/English-speaking role. There will be a few roles with cast actors. There’s been a lot of auditions, and I’ve found actors from Reddit.
In those two videos, I don’t think I saw any lip sync for the dialogues? Are you planning to fix that, preferably before the next teaser video release? (But especially before a mod release.)
It’s already fixed, but my main beta tester is looking for more areas that the .lips are missing.
Why are you starting with a planet mod as your first KotOR mod?
Because it sounded fun.
So, it sounds like there are about 26 new modules in your mod that Sithspecter hasn’t created. Are they actually new or are they reskinned previous modules?
Kinda both. I used Holocron Toolset’s indoor module builder tool for most of those modules, which limits me to pre-existing rooms, albeit in different layouts. From there I then modified them to apply the textures from BioWare’s remaining Sleheyron files. I was pleasantly surprised with the output.
Speaking of skins, have you made any new ones? Or is it a combination of recycling of materials found in the base game combined with what Sithspecter may have provided in his previous effort?
Yes I have made new textures. There will be new colored Twi’leks, at the very least.
This last one may be out of left field but I just have to ask: Are there any areas in the mod which render characters as orange colored?
Uhh… No? Maybe a little orange tinted from module lighting changes. Is that what you meant?
