Modding Ideas
« on: October 15, 2009, 10:57:54 pm »

I'm looking to start making some mods, and was just wondering if anyone had any simple ideas to start out with...I need something easy to start with...and then I'll think about an entire world mod...

Maybe I should make the 'funnest' mod ever?

A race of superpowered muppets, determined to take over the Ear- worldgen?

Or, more seriously, find a problem in normal DF and fill it. That's all inventions ever are. Rysith saw a deficiency in goblins, so he made the Orcs. The13thRonin saw a deficiency in the sheer amount of content in DF, so he decided to Dig Deeper.

I saw a bunch of jokes, and then decided to give them corporeal form in the Assorted Silliness mod- but it wasn't really that successful.

So. What do you think DF needs more of?

Some superpowered muppets would be awsome, or carp, siegeing carp...

A skulking, babysnatching demon civ.  You would probably want to make a copy of the creature raw entry without the [POWER] tag so the thing that puts demons in charge of goblins doesn't mess things up.  It'd be just like kobolds, except they're after your babies, are way bigger and throw fireballs.  And if you ever let them get away with more than one or two kids, you'll have whole ambushes of them.
