Dilemma with Disciples of Corruption
10 years ago
General
With so much work I have done over the months for Disciples of Corruption, I decided to create a list with how much is left for the next update, Alpha 1.0. My heart just sank as the list just seemed to go on and on with stuff, almost to the point that if felt like I have not done much at all since the last update in February I think it was.
I do feel really discouraged at this point. I even started wandering off and messing around with non-Disciples of Corruption modding. At this point I am thinking about doing one of three things for the mod’s immediate future.
1) Release an Alpha 0.6 update instead
This would release essentially all content not related to the three major additions in Alpha 1.0 (the Prototurret, Foxfire Zorua, and Sun Idol Espeon; the Vespene Condenser and Tablet Manufactory would also be put on hold).
Mobs released with this update would include:
~Clay Luxio
~Clay Shinx
~Cujo Furfrou
~Cuotl Ekans
~Scrubby Darmanitan
~Vegnagun Dustox
Other changes include nearly all mob drops being rebalanced or changed in some way. Some spawns have also been changed. This update I could probably push out in about 1-2 weeks, depending on how difficult Vegnagun Dustox is to finish, how much testing I can get in to test game balance, and any changes in setting up the newest version of Forge and moving the mod to it.
2) Break Alpha 1.0 into two halves
Releasing a first half of Alpha 1.0 would include all of the above plus the Prototurret, which is mostly done, and half of Foxfire Zorua which right now is just like a fancy Wolf (it doesn’t have an inventory yet). Another issue for this version to be addressed before releasing it is that I do not have the way to tame Foxfire Zorua added yet.
Sun Idle Espeon would be completely withheld from this version too. Sun Idol Espeon is important in acquiring Foxfire Zorua because it guarantees a needed item drop that is otherwise a rare drop from tough mobs that do not spawn all that often.
The mod at this point will be so massive that I think it will require its own Wiki site because there is too much content for the Minecraft forum page. I have an idea of where to host the Wiki but I have to learn how to use it, design the pages, and carry over all of the documentation in addition to the new content documentation.
This approach would take about 4-6 weeks to put out I would estimate.
3) Keep Alpha 1.0 whole
Pretty much this would be keep doing what I am doing and release all the content together as a very symbolically special update for Disciples of Corruption. Those special content are: action based animation, the first minor boss tier enemy, and the mod’s first tamable.
I would guess the release date would be no sooner than December, depending on what happens with Fall schooling and how much my attention continues to wander from the mod.
I am contemplating putting these options up for a vote over the next few days. What do you think?
