I recently completed a small mod adding a few dinosaurs into the game, mostly as an exercise to practice with modding and get a handle on what's possible. I can include the raws if anyone's interested, but there's only a dozen or so creatures, and there are several more interesting dino mods available already. However, I'm ready to move on to a larger, more ambitious project, one which I would be happy to share if y'all are interested.
The basic premise is to take something silly and cutesy and introduce it to some Dwarf Fortress style of "fun". To that end, I intend to replace the vast majority of creatures in the game with cutesy, blob-like creatures, which will be every bit as dangerous, if not even more dangerous, then the creatures that exist currently. There will also probably be some other interesting things added in, but as I'm still very new to Dwarf Fortress modding, I can't make any promises.
There's no real purpose behind this other than I think it would be funny to see some cute little blob bite a dwarf in the head so hard the idiot's skull explodes into gore. Suggestions and advice are welcome, and if people seem interested in this project I will post updates. If not that's fine to.
