The idea for the mod theme comes from Hexen level: Darkmere. Swamp, but scifi. Player controls a reptile/snake/amphibian type of character that lives in a swamp planet. There is not much story yet, just some bunch of ideas for a story. Whatever the story will be, it will be something that involves lots of different kinds of monsters for player to destroy in unarmed combat and with various melee & ranged weapons. Most likely player faces the horde of monsters alone without any NPC helpers. The mod may also involve some RPG character creation/development, though the skills may develop on their own depending on what skills player uses. Also it may be possible to gain some perks that give player additional special enhancements to his/her abilities. --- Currently the work on this mod is discontinued...
I also started making the player model.
Current polycount is 4054 polygons. I think it could have some toes too..
you going to give him armor too?
Yea, I think armor should be visible on the model. Alternative would be to have some "fixed" armor/clothes that doesn't change. I think at the game start, player only has some belt with some pockets hanging from them, or some shorts/pants.
I'll try the different kind of legs first before I go finalizing the model or do armor/clothes.. Might try a legless version as well, similar to Snakeman in UFO: Enemy Unknown or Slith in Unreal. And maybe I give some webbing between the fingers. I think it should be somewhat aquatic creature.
