Vanilla? Madder AKA VMD or VMD Sim is a Deus Ex vanilla conversion focused heavily on RPG and roleplay elements, immersive sim gameplay, modernization/QOL, and more. Skill trees, hunger/stress/smell systems, in depth character customization, status effects from foods, and so much more are included. It also boasts the ability to run with almost any mod, and, in the future, will be able to be used as a near-universal starting point for any total conversion. Note: While not beta or demo, the project is in phase 1 of development. The project will reach its ultimate form at phase 4. Even at this relatively early point in its life, it is ready for quite a few hours of gameplay and boasts many fun features. Arguably, it is very much worth at least one try. Or not. You're allowed to dislike it, too.
The old difficulty screen is gone, dead, and buried.
This screenshot demonstrates the new nightmare. Aside from the low grade infamy system and tier 1 loot replacement, it's largely the same. It is, however, a teaser for a player looking to scout out what gallows looks like in VMD. Let me be clear: There is no singular, intended experience for VMD. It's whatever the user feels is conducive to their fun. But for people expecting a challenge to keep their sandboxing and feature creep in check, which can itself be a level of fun, Gallows aims to be the anti to much of VMD's power creep.
