yep

#

to think of it - skyrim came out in 2011

#

still alive

indigo garden
#

crazy 100+ people are following this thread already and it been 1 day ❤️

hollow wagon
#

super mario bros 1 came out 1985 and lots of mods are still being actively developed

clever totem
#

everyone is hungry for new game content

#

😄

timid island
#

If we could get official mod support in some capacity that would be awesome

#

Though I'm not sure how feasible it would even be for one person

clever totem
#

yeah, considering state of netcode for the moment 😄

#

even in vanilla something always breaks

snow bluff
#

I'm not saying hire like 50 people

#

At least 3-4 people with him should be fine

plush osprey
#

Managing and working with a team is a lot harder than it may initially seem especially if your used to solo dev imo

molten panther
#

Probably because he's barely older than 20 and doesn't know who to trust/how much to pay/how to coordinate and work with a team professionally/how to handle contract negotiations for ownership rights or royalty costs

plush osprey
#

^ this too

#

he's quite young

molten panther
#

Like, honest to god I guarantee you

#

I GUARANTEE

#

That he's gotten over 1000 private messages asking for a job

plush osprey
#

Its why his bio on discord says to stop asking about it lol

molten panther
#

And that's a low estimate

snow bluff
#

For me it wasn't a big of a deal

indigo garden
#

I hope this renderer fix works

plush osprey
molten panther
plush osprey
#

Theres also just the fact he might wanna maintain his vision with the game too

#

Yeah, from an itch horror game called Rinse and Repeat iirc

indigo garden
#

owner is chill me using it

molten panther
#

Ah

#

You should see if you can add some kind of texture to his body

#

He's very.... Flat

indigo garden
plush osprey
#

Very simple game it seems, your idea is a lot more fleshed out it looks like

#

Which is interesting

#

Def think that, like whats been suggested for the mod, if the time it took to kill after being grabbed was shortened it couldve been scarier
(and the creatures design surprisingly feels more condusive to the dim enviornments of Lethal Company)

molten panther
#

Yeah he just needs a lil "noise" to his texture so he doesn't feel like he's just missing a texture

#

Bracken again is a good example

indigo garden
plush osprey
#

That was fast

#

Nice

indigo garden
#

making sure there is no bugs on release

#

I seen lot of mods release and there is errors

molten panther
#

Wait, his whole body isn't just a flat image is it?

indigo garden
#

It is lol

glossy fable
#

so he does have a clear face

molten panther
#

No no like

#

Does he have a 3D model

indigo garden
#

yea

indigo garden
molten panther
#

Ok because there's like, no visible contour when he's in the light so it feels like his texture is just glitched out

#

So he almost looks like a paper cutout

indigo garden
#

so kinda looked weird

frosty totem
#

This is looking beautiful, absolutely perfect, I cannot wait to shadow add this to my groups pack

indigo garden
#

make sure u clip and send here of your reaction

#

🙂

molten panther
#

What does he look like in full light

indigo garden
indigo garden
molten panther
#

Right ok I'm saying he will probably look better if he's not just jet black with no reflection because he just looks flat

molten panther
#

?

#

What about her

plush osprey
#

I guess that her model is unaffected by light? But eitherway I think going for more what the bracken looks like in bright areas would be nicer

#

Since the one thing with the fiend in bright areas rn is that he kinda becomes like pale gray all over

molten panther
#

That's what I'm getting at yeah

indigo garden
#

ima do smth

hearty wasp
indigo garden
#

thx

hearty wasp
#

The screaming improved quite frankly

indigo garden
#

found it

astral siren
solid wing
#

eta?

#

1 month plus🇰🇭?

astral siren
indigo garden
solid wing
indigo garden
#

what if the target player leave? should he just go on a rage page if they leave and kill someone to calm down

hoary marlin
#

I want you guys to know cause I just cant read I kept reading the title as "The Flend"

late walrus
#

What if they can't leave 👀

hearty wasp
indigo garden
molten panther
#

definite improvement

indigo garden
#

it has no shadow map so its prob the reason

#

ima check if there is one

late walrus
# indigo garden they have to find him

Could always make configurations for different conditions (Must find, can't leave | Can leave, will become angy etc), which maybe could also change per match kind of like how the Rolling Giant's A.I changes

indigo garden
#

Im not sure how to add configurations its my first mod

molten panther
#

I wouldn't recommend it, makes it weirdly unpredictable

astral siren
molten panther
#

hiding above the entrance feels unfair if your teammates can accidentally set him off

astral siren
#

Yeah

#

Hm, how do you avoid it killing you?

#

Because the marked target dies if the fiend isn’t found and if someone finds it it will chase and probably kill them

molten panther
#

no Dot he's not going to hire you

#

unless he hired you in which case lol but I doubt he hired you

solid wing
#

I got a cool mechanic for the fiend

#

we can see that it does not light, so you can flash a flash light on the fiend, which will make it teleport away, so it will haunt you. But the more you flash it, the more powerful it will become in its ambush phase. This will be its rage meter, and it will eventually reach maximum horror, and if it kills you in the maximum, a new more gorry animation. And then it will haunt everyone in the facility

indigo garden
#

🔥

astral siren
#

based

#

should still have something on the exit prompt anyway

solid wing
#

you cant see the rage meter

molten panther
#

If leaving kills you then how do you leave....

solid wing
#

but when it reaches 100

#

maximum horror mode

#

this will help create a counter

#

with the flash light or laser pointer

#

but u still cant kill it

molten panther
#

I wonder if you could make your helmet scan do something with it

solid wing
molten panther
#

ah ah ah

solid wing
#

maybe a item or something

molten panther
#

could be negative

#

could be a bad thing

solid wing
#

oh yea

#

it will help increase its rage meter

#

everytime you scan
+5 to rage meter

molten panther
#

example: Snare Fleas, kinda dangerous, but if you use your scan often then it's easy to spot them

solid wing
#

also as the rage meter goes up, ur screen will have more of a red tint

molten panther
#

since Fiend is an "elite snare flea" in a sense, forcing the player to use their ears and eyes instead of the scan could be good

indigo garden
#

the flashlight you will be able to use 3 times and will reset if they rage

#

when its 0 it will get mad at you ig

#

so you only can use it three times

#

then offer someones life to reset it

placid grotto
#

I still like the idea of stun grenade flashbanging him as an elevated way to get him to go away since it's a bright flash of light and you're burning credits / consumables on him instead of just flashlight battery

indigo garden
solid wing
#

the more the "rage meter" increase, the more a red tint will apply

molten panther
#

ok so let's say theoretically, it's the first quota, you enter the facility, he spawns, and your team doesn't have flashlights because you spent your money on something else, like a flashbang in case of giants spawning on Vow/March. What is the counterplay and how will he behave?

solid wing
#

so you know its rage meter is increasing, without an actual bar

#

then there isnt really a counter play

#

thats why I like flashlights there cheap

#

and now there is more of a incentive to buy them

indigo garden
#

he cant open doors

#

unless hes mad

solid wing
#

I thought he can break them

molten panther
#

how do you get him into the room

#

like just have him "follow you" and then circle around and close the door?

indigo garden
#

yea

solid wing
#

like a door, or a terminal door

molten panther
#

Oh that's hilarious

#

regular door I think

indigo garden
#

he will only chase you in sight

molten panther
#

and then when he's enraged he kicks doors

solid wing
#

how do you enrage him

indigo garden
#

so you can slowly go around corners

indigo garden
#

light 3 times

#

I should work on light thing now

solid wing
#

wdym by lighting it

#

with a flashlight

#

and why would u use a flashlight on him

indigo garden
#

pro flashlight

#

in his face

solid wing
#

so that will put him into enrage mode?

indigo garden
#

only if you do it 3 times

#

he will stun after you do it

solid wing
#

but then nobody will ever flash him

#

people are just never gonna use their flashlight when they spot it once

#

most people in general dont use a flashlight, cause they take a extra space unless ur using the extra slot mod. So...

molten panther
#

he's still dangerous when he's not enraged so the flashlight is a low-cost "get out of jail" card in that case

#

but you can't abuse it

#

that's the idea

solid wing
#

there would be no punishment then

#

cause no one is gonna flash it

molten panther
#

no no no listen

#

in its normal state, it is a threat

solid wing
#

how so

molten panther
#

it's like, above average dangerous

#

it hides and kills you and stuff

#

I'm sure that'll be developed more with time

solid wing
#

oh

#

but I mean

molten panther
#

but the idea is that in its normal state it is "More dangerous than normal" in terms of enemies

solid wing
#

there should more incentive to flash it, what will exactly happen if u flash it

molten panther
#

the flashlight is a leash that can keep you safe, but not forever

indigo garden
#

ideas for modes

  • Break Doors
  • Hide
  • Avoid Players Light
  • Seek
  • Hide And Seek
  • Flicker Lights
  • Invisible
  • Rage
solid wing
#

it should give u a 2 min grace period

molten panther
#

it probably will give a good grace period

solid wing
#

yea

molten panther
#

he actually runs away I think

#

not just stuck in place but actively flees

solid wing
indigo garden
#

invisible is when he cant kill you but will tp to you and stand still for 5s then un-invisible

#

or 5s then hides

solid wing
#

oh ok

bold valley
#

hey @indigo garden what was your BASE idea when making this monster?

#

Ik you talked about him being an unkillable demon, which I like

#

stick at least to what you want to do!

#

Ive just been noticing a lot of people suggesting a lot changes to your concept, and I know you want this mod to be great so youre trying to add all of it, but I think at times its best to go with what YOU want to do

#

I've seen this situation get out of control once or twice before :) with moonsneer, that caused the dev to lose a lot of motivation.

#

Just be careful.

#

I'm looking through these comments, and some of the suggestions/complaints are nonsense imo. "There's too many unkillable enemies" - by definition, the scariest enemies are the ones that you can't kill.

#

(@indigo garden , not to say that you SHOULDNT make this enemy killable if you want to)

#

:)

indigo garden
#

thanks ❤️

bold valley
#

ye all good, looking forward to the finished product here. I suggest talking about the design of the mod with 1/2 close friends instead of with a massive audience that all have a different concept of what the "scariest possible monster" could be

indigo garden
#

so fair this ai has like 299 lines of code

bold valley
#

POG

#

more progress than anyone who cant code will ever get to :P

smoky hinge
indigo garden
#

No but I did add some sutff to it

icy granite
#

Jfc lmao

#

Cant wait till this comes out

jaunty ocean
indigo garden
#

frick

#

trying to test something and he jumped me

#

nearly my keyboard out of the window

wind pendant
#

maybe he could only target people who have their flashlight off

#

like it sees an opportunity to attack

#

cause people (i think) turn their flashlights on and off over time in order to preserve battery life

indigo garden
#

I mean it slowly build rage for him

#

then he wont care because hes like super fast

wind pendant
#

hmm true...

#

ive had a creature design for something completely unrelated to LC that also has an aversion to light

#

whenever its enraged it disregards its aversion in order to get its victim even if it harms them significantly

#

since even minor lights like the glow of a lantern is enough to hurt its eyes

#

so i like this idea alot

#

you should make him go into rage state immediately if you tbag him :trol:

indigo garden
#

lol

steel bolt
#

when will be released agony

wind pendant
#

2 years ago

indigo garden
#

better blind here

indigo garden
#

who knows

steel bolt
steel bolt
molten panther
#

Wonder if it could be good to have the blind take a moment to fully take effect, so just lightly flicking your beam over him doesn't apply the blind

#

Perhaps only slowing him down at first

bold valley
indigo garden
#

yeah pretty much

#

there to scare you and give you fear

#

and kill

steel bolt
#

does it do anything unique besides a jumpscare and some ambush thing?

wind pendant
#

it can be blinded

indigo garden
#

I prob should work on animation to hide his parts

steel bolt
hearty wasp
wind pendant
#

HE KICKED DOWN THE WHOLE ASS FRAME

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

NOT EVEN JUST THE DOOR

#

THE WHOLE ASS FRAME

indigo garden
#

XD

steel bolt
#

or is that part just a w.i.p?

indigo garden
indigo garden
steel bolt
#

it doesn't feel as natual as just ripping off the door from its hinges

indigo garden
#

how strong is a demon

#

like that

steel bolt
#

maybe have the door be shut when the door frame is ripped off, i think it was the fact that it was open that made it weird.

#

weird for me atleast.

wind pendant
#

i guess it does that to ensure that when it chases you you cant close the door behind it

indigo garden
#

I try to fix that

#

only break if close

wind pendant
#

fiending

steel bolt
#

still looks cool even with the weird door thing

wind pendant
#

intimidation tactic

#

close the door and then launch the whole frame

#

i feel like the fiend would definitely be the type to toy around with you

#

like in rinse and repeat

#

you should be able to see his hand as he hides behind doors like he does in R&R

indigo garden
#

im going to sleep now

#

🙂

wind pendant
#

goodnight

jaunty ocean
#

oh hey, i found a video of the game fiend is from

fluid galleon
# indigo garden

thats badass, but what do you do if you inverse teleport and dont have a flashlight?

#

just run?

remote pollen
#

This is peak

jagged cobalt
#

I watched all the videos on this i cant wait

fluid galleon
#

i think haveing a monster that is only countered by a piece of equipment is bad design as if you dont have it or an inverse teleporter then youre shit outta luck

#

having a different monster with the 'dont look at it/shine lights in its eyes' being nonlethal UNLESS you look at it is likely the best design

#

||creature idea that has similar gimmicks to what yall suggest but only kills you if you look at it and die to the damage over time when its eye is on ur screen||

pliant radish
molten panther
#

basically, if you have the flashlight, you have a couple free lives, without the flashlight is "normal"

stiff bane
#

Do u get spooked by your own mod?

hearty lotus
hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

they do? giants are either flashbangs, teleport, or the radar booster
gg you kind of just run away from, she's really not that fast

#

idk who's we cause i consider the giant pretty lame design, probably my least fav monster next to Jester

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

gg is interesting because there is still stuff you can do, and she is really only a menace in small areas where you can't escape from here

#

oh, well yea i agree that giant is bad design lol

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

i really dont like that once it sees you there's little you can do other than hope to find a LOS breaker which doesn't work half the time anyway

hearty lotus
#

Visual design is amazing

pliant radish
#

there's also not much feedback in terms of it seeing you, it either sees you and you're fucked or you crouch and it has a lesser chance of seeing you

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

no indication of it's FOV especially from afar, compared to nutcracker who has a LOUD sfx and stops moving, and pops out his eye

#

my dislike for the giant is how once it spots you there's not much you can do, and there's no feedback to being spotted either

hearty lotus
#

Break line of sight should = stop chase

pliant radish
#

dogs make a loud sound when they hear you, start charging and dashing, but the giant just starts fucking BOOKIN it towards ya

hearty lotus
#

I think it should be slower if has the vision it has now

astral siren
pliant radish
#

also i think it loses it's fear factor pretty quickly and becomes annoying, compared to a coilhead which still gives me utter panic and shock like 100 hours later

astral siren
hearty lotus
#

I think a creature that has no real counter adds more to the horror of the game. I don’t need to be doom slayer walking into the facility and completely countering everything

hearty lotus
astral siren
#

Only after line of sight has been broken for say 10 seconds

pliant radish
#

i disagree. something like a coilhead that just didn't stop when you looked at it has no real counter, but that isn't fun at all

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

no because after the first few it just becomes unfun

#

this is the same reason i hate jester

#

yea it's pretty terrifying. the 1st time

#

afterwards it's "not this fucking bastard again.."

astral siren
#

Cool head is very easy to counter, I soloed three of them and a muck cracker on titan once, they can’t kill you if they are at least on your screen somewhere, as long as you are roughly looking in their direction they will be stopped before killing you

teal hill
#

thats very fair, it can be boiled down to the fiend just being another stalker ai, and also ceiling bug.

pliant radish
#

it's not really terrifying if there's nothing you can do imo, at that point that just becomes unfun because me doing anything is the same as me doing nothing

hearty lotus
#

Respectfully disagree, imo I think the added stress of "this monster won’t stop until I’m dead and I need to continue to look at it " is a greater fear than being hit by a dog

pliant radish
#

yes coilhead works great for this reason, he does have a counter

pliant radish
#

what is it's counter?

molten panther
molten panther
#

and people HATE the giant

hearty lotus
teal hill
#

not to say its not cool, im watching its development, i'm just excited to see more unique stuff from fiend

jaunty ocean
pliant radish
#

what are we defining as a counter then?

molten panther
#

"The creature has rules and via playing by said rules you avoid getting pulped"

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

why is looking at the coilhead a counter, but not looking at ghost girl isn't?

molten panther
#

looking at coilhead = counter
avoiding looking at ghost girl =/= counter??

hearty lotus
jaunty ocean
#

counter

pliant radish
#

imo a lot of LC's charm in terms of enemies is how simple their counters are, but combined together you get some real fun stuff

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

bracken can be distilled to "look behind every now and then"
coilhead is "do not break LOS with it" and on their own it's not too bad and relatively simple, but you mix the two and that's where a lot of the horror comes from

#

by your logic is not speaking in vicinity of a dog just a workaround?

hearty lotus
#

Yes as a counter would be talking and bashing it with a shovel

#

Literally yes

pliant radish
#

we have very different definitions then, cause by your logic coilhead is uncounterable which i heavily disagree

pliant radish
#

yes because you're not supposed to

hearty lotus
#

Which means you can’t counter it

pliant radish
#

countering should not mean killing it

hearty lotus
#

I’m not saying it is

molten panther
#

Yeah idk Goober I feel like you're really pigeonholing the definition of the word Counter

hearty lotus
#

It’s just silly semantics

molten panther
#

when all it means is "a set of behaviours or actions that keep you from getting killed"

hearty lotus
#

I’m just explaining what I mean when I say it

#

Everyone has their own definition

#

I’m not trying to impose my thoughts on others

molten panther
#

when people talk about how to deal with ghost girl they'll say that she has Counterplay

hearty lotus
#

I like creatures that have no counter and are a constant fear felt throughout the facility

molten panther
#

meanwhile, people don't like the giant because it feels as though they have very little counterplay

#

unless you buy a radar booster in which case you can perma-stunlock him

#

which is, boring

jaunty ocean
#

the giants suck

pliant radish
#

if i get spotted by a giant and im far from the ship, i might as well just stand still because it'll catch me 90% of the time anyway

hearty lotus
#

Gameplay wise the giants suck I think everyone agrees on that

#

The visual and conceptual design I love

molten panther
#

and before we get caught in a semantic mess again I will specify that when I say "counterplay" what I'm REFERRING TO is "behaviour that keeps you alive", Lethal Company's goal is to make it to the ship with scrap, not kill things

jaunty ocean
#

yeah giants look cool

pliant radish
#

i think they're much less impressive upclose to be honest

molten panther
#

they're

#

fine

jaunty ocean
#

eh

pliant radish
#

their silhouette is pretty spooky from afar though

molten panther
#

I have pretty neutral thoughts on giants idk

#

they aight

jaunty ocean
#

if i were to design giants i would probably make em thinner and taller to actually look like trees and make em try to ambush you (but with much slower chasing speed)

pliant radish
#

give them a big fog emitter coming from their holes and if you get in that it'll actually start chasing you

molten panther
jaunty ocean
#

i agree with this original point

molten panther
#

the concern people've had with Fiend is that his only counter is the flashlight

pliant radish
#

i totally agree with what AJarl said too

molten panther
#

from what I can tell though that isn't the case

hearty lotus
molten panther
#

the flashlight serves as an "additional buffer" rather than "the only safe option"

#

I think horror is really subjective

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

i think it's subjective, and also helplessness should be a balance, you cant just do nothing against the enemy because then you have no reason to do anything

molten panther
#

I think the bracken is one of the scariest enemies in the game but you can A) totally chill with him if you play peek-a-boo, B) beat him to death with a shovel

#

which is not what I would call helpless

hearty lotus
#

My point is it makes it less scary when I can completely negate everything the creature does

jaunty ocean
#

B) you cannot beat him to death with a shovel he will twist your neck

pliant radish
#

well we never said completely negate it

pliant radish
#

or have a shotgun

molten panther
#

also yeah shotgun

hearty lotus
#

In a perfect world we could have a creature that adapts to the players actions

#

Making what you did yesterday mean nothing because it changed today

molten panther
pliant radish
#

then that's just not fun, that's just a trial and error match where if you fuck up it costs you your life

jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

LC entity design exists in a space where in a 1v1 situation you can survive 100% of the time with knowledge

jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

but because there are multiple different types of enemies presenting different threats together

#

you have to adapt on the fly

pliant radish
jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

Yes giants are the shining example of a motherf*cker supreme

pliant radish
#

and they SUCK

#

jester is another example of a supreme motherf*cker and i HATE him

molten panther
#

Jester isn't as bad though because he calms down when you leave and then you can just go back in

#

Jester is just a test of "can you route properly"

#

don't get lost, don't get ate

pliant radish
#

yea but the bastard camps out the exit half the time

molten panther
#

you still have bare minimum 45 seconds to ransack the place and that's assuming he starts cranking instantly

hearty lotus
molten panther
#

but Zeekers just extended the crank start time

#

Jester is more shy about cranking in public these days

hearty lotus
#

I’m always cranking in public

pliant radish
#

that's like no time though 😭 i will admit it is a bit of a skissue but i still hate him

jaunty ocean
#

god why hasn't someone made a forest giant remaster mod yet. it's such an obvious mod idea and it'd get so many downloads

molten panther
#

point is, if you wanna put a monster mod into LC, you should on principle make the monster 100% safe to deal with on its own, but complicated to overcome with the addition of other threats within the facility

jaunty ocean
#

before someone says "make it yourself" pleasae i have little to no unity erxperience

molten panther
#

mind you when I say "100% safe" I don't mean easily, that's an entity to entity basis

#

Like, Spore Lizards are clearly way easier to deal with than coilheads

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

not to brag heh hmh but moosneer is a great example of an enemy that's safe on it's own

molten panther
#

congrats, you've passed the bare minimum requirement for good enemy design

jaunty ocean
pliant radish
#

tsk no big deal heh

molten panther
#

just don't be mean to him

#

Mr. Sneer is a fine fellow he just has sensitive eyes

hearty lotus
#

No one saw a thing

#

There was nothing above this message

molten panther
#

anyway I'm still not 100% certain how Fiend works, I just know he hides on ceilings, doesn't know how to open doors, gets stunned by flashlights, and gets pissed off if you do that too many times

hearty lotus
#

Little repost of a video

molten panther
#

ah yeah and the door kicks when he's angered

hearty lotus
pliant radish
#

i mean, i hope he's simple tbh

molten panther
#

I mean, it's just a single enemy mod

jaunty ocean
#

so true

#

so true

pliant radish
#

LC enemies are like ingredients for a great stew you can't just also stuff in a cake into the concoction yknow it's gonna be small

molten panther
#

yeh like, unique interaction with light, hard-countered by doors, stealth based enemy, you've got a pretty clean idea with all the elements so far

#

the main question on everyone's minds is just, what do you do when you're being chased

hearty lotus
#

The mod author is cooking something up I can smell it

molten panther
#

is it purely "go through a door, he's a chump"?

pliant radish
#

@indigo garden curious if you need an animator c: id love to give him a real creepy locomotion walk

molten panther
#

do you not like his wiggles

pliant radish
#

it's a lil goofy

hearty lotus
#

He gets jiggy with it

molten panther
#

he's SO jiggy

jaunty ocean
#

i would maybe make it so they turn slow, so with enough twists and turns you can lose em

pliant radish
#

thumper :

molten panther
#

not just thumper

#

most enemies can be juked to some extent

jaunty ocean
#

the thumper just crashes into every wall it sees
tje fiend is sophisticated and does not charge into brick wall

molten panther
#

including the bracken

#

(though only at loowwwwww weight)

pliant radish
#

yea before thumper crashing into walls it'd just have a bad turning radius

molten panther
#

well tbf old thumper was just bugged

hearty lotus
#

The walker from diversity is so attractive, I wish he was real

#

❤️😩

molten panther
#

....huh?

pliant radish
#

i liked old thumper to be honest

#

new one is one hell of a pushover

jaunty ocean
#

actually i think masked try to predict your movement so you can't juke them, maybe you could give that to fiend

molten panther
#

bro old thumper was even easier

jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

old thumper you hit once and could chain-hit to death

hearty lotus
#

Tho

pliant radish
#

is that not the case rn?

molten panther
#

new thumper keeps movin' even after being hit

#

new thumper moves WAY more after being hit

#

old thumper got stopped dead

pliant radish
#

oh i didn't know he just stops lol

molten panther
#

yeah no old thumper movement got set to 0 when you smacked him

pliant radish
#

probably cloudeed by inexperience then cause i always ran away from old thumper

molten panther
#

and his acceleration was l o w

#

like, when he roared he would also set his speed to 0

jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

so you could trigger the roar and run up to beat the shit outta him

#

and as long as you were at a good distance you just won

hearty lotus
molten panther
#

it'sssss a humanoid

hearty lotus
molten panther
#

he's more of a scrunky lil grimbo man

hearty lotus
#

I got to go before I do something nefarious

stiff bane
molten panther
#

from what I've gleaned he can be baited around carefully

indigo garden
#

i

stiff bane
#

He just wants a hug

#

He's lonely

jaunty ocean
late walrus
#

Your forum seems to have exploded

molten panther
#

I guess the big question on everyone's mind

#

what is it that you want Fiend to actually do

#

and also, how do you go to the top of a thread

jaunty ocean
molten panther
#

gdi Discord

late walrus
#

You press middle mouse button and you ZOOM

indigo garden
#

oh my 1.5k messages

molten panther
#

so this was the OG mission statement from the beginning

#

I think most of the confusion is around the hiding, seeking, and hide/seeking elements

indigo garden
#

seeking he will make no sound and try to find you, but its slow

jaunty ocean
#

i think it'd be funny if their spawnrate was doubled if a shower was on in the ship

indigo garden
#

hide and seek is where you gotta find him else he goes on a rampage, but i prob change the name

late walrus
#

Possibly the question is when Hide & Seek would be triggered

indigo garden
#

random tick time prob

molten panther
#

you'll want to make sure it's clear what stage he's in

wind pendant
#

no way bro slept 6 hours and immediately goes back to coding

molten panther
#

if you don't know whether you're trying to find him or hide from him then you're screwed

wind pendant
#

most dedicated LC modder

jaunty ocean
wind pendant
#

for the quota🗣️🗣️🗣️

late walrus
#

A audio cue probably would fix that tbh, or maybe a screen effect.

#

That's up to the modder tho

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

so is he just reverse jester

#

where when you hear him you have to run towards him rather then away

indigo garden
#

no

wind pendant
#

i meant as in hide in seek mechanic

indigo garden
#

Ambience sound

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

hmm

#

interesting

late walrus
#

You can hear it in multiple videos. Just scroll up. ^^

indigo garden
#

these some old clips

wind pendant
#

probably not that loud compared to the bracken neck snap

late walrus
#

The splat sound is the same splat sound as the Ghost girl (Masa thinks) so you could most likely base it around that tbh

#

Apologies if Masa's assumptions are wrong on that but it does sound similar to the ghost girl death sound

wind pendant
#

hmm i noticed that in rinse and repeat hes described as fear in which youve manifested

#

would he spawn as part of high paranoia?

#

he absolutely would fit with stuff like the remastered insanity mod

indigo garden
#

I think

late walrus
#

Could be a neat idea to make the spawn rate depending on your sanity level maybe

wind pendant
#

he can taste the fear ............

#

depends on if you want fiend to be more original or more like his source material

#

either way is respectable

bold valley
wind pendant
#

maybe he could have like

#

a chance to spawn every hour

late walrus
#

Dump bro in a wall and yoink bro out of the wall when its crazy time

wind pendant
#

i should draw this guy ngl

#

fiending

indigo garden
#

but his spawn chance is a line

bold valley

#

This mod looks pretty interesting, just got a look of it

wind pendant
#

also you should take breaks every now and then cause you might end up getting burnt out (especially with all these suggestions

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

ensuring this inspiring modder doesnt randomly spontaneously combust (modder's syndrome)

late walrus
#

It isss. Love the guy and his temper tantrums and his little games and his goofy walk

indigo garden
gritty widget
#

The enemy seems like a pretty tasking character to deal with, in a good way
But it makes me wonder about how he’ll be in the mix with other enemies in game
Imagine he was just a solo enemy you had to worry about consistently lol

wind pendant
#

i always imagined him intimidating you by killing creatures like hoarder bugs

#

showing you whos the player and whos controlling the game

#

i doubt he gets along very well with any of the interior mobs

#

except maybe bracken i feel like theyd play uno together

gritty widget
#

That’d be so damn scary lol, a enemy just gets in the way of his game and he goes haywire

wind pendant
#

fiend when the guys he was trying to play with dies to a random hoarder

pliant radish
wind pendant
#

no way

pliant radish
#

actually, probably shouldn't show that sneer one woops

wind pendant
#

moonsneer leak in fiend channel

ay yea that should work

indigo garden

the bones are not attach

pliant radish

that's fine, gives me more creativity for squash n stretch :)

wind pendant

fiend waiting in line at a gas station counter

late walrus

Bones are not attached....

LOOKS AT BADASSCOMPANY

indigo garden
#

oh there is fbx exporter

pliant radish
#

yee as just fbx with skeleton and i can go to town

wind pendant
#

chat is this real

late walrus
#

Real

wind pendant
#

this is a pivotal moment in fiend history

late walrus
#

dot is fiending

wind pendant
#

we boutta fiend up in here 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

zenith shadow
pliant radish
#

kinda feel like he's the kinda feller to have a hobble, reminds me of scp 106 in a way

late walrus
#

Funfact btw

Before Masa knew about this coming fro ma existing game, Masa thought that this was supposed to be like a representation of a Masked cultist or some sort of fiendish being tied to Masks lmao

pliant radish
#

yummy

late walrus
#

Mainly because of the hop the guy has

pliant radish
#

got his textures as well?

wind pendant
#

this was part of my secret plan

#

ok time to make fiend 2 (100% more iron deficiency)

pliant radish
#

didn't seem to export?

pliant radish
# indigo garden

have to set the export format to binary, blender doesn't like ASCII fbx

#

nvm he's real!!!

wind pendant
#

the fiend

#

the fiend is real

indigo garden
#

very nicely done

pliant radish
#

do you mind if i make adjustments to the rig? seems to have exported at 14 degrees and naming scheme is super wrong

indigo garden
#

Not sure animations would work but should do

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

hmm i see, cause blender can't support symmetry with the current setup

#

well i'll see what i can do

wind pendant
#

i dont imagine fiend to be a very symmetric moving guy

pliant radish
#

no i mean like, his bones are symmetrical but blender doesn't detect them as such because they dont have .L or .R

wind pendant
#

i imagine him more like drunk uncle

indigo garden
#

hm

pliant radish
#

I can always make a shell rig to retarget it to if adjusting the rig is a hassle

indigo garden
#

if it don't change any names think it's alright

wind pendant
#

if every lc modded and vanilla monster was part of a family

pliant radish
#

yea in that case ill just make a shell rig

wind pendant
#

who do you think fiend would be

#

i think he'd be creepy uncle that makes a coin appear from behind you ear and then disappears for 7 years

pliant radish
#

without a doub

indigo garden
#

He's very board and wants to mess with you cuz it's fun for him

wind pendant
#

fiending

#

does fiend have a bestiary entry yet i just realized that

#

what would sigurd rate him

#

danger level

pliant radish
#

friend

indigo garden
#

I need to make video of him turning around.. not sure how

wind pendant
#

the bestiary scan?

indigo garden
#

Yes

wind pendant
#

hmm

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

i know moonsneer has figured it out

#

for how to make the bestiary videos

#

maybe you can ask one of the devs (also i just realized how weird the lc modding ecosystem really is)

pliant radish
#

this rig is givin' me a uhh.. lot of trouble..

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

rig

indigo garden
#

Maybe okay then

pliant radish
#

well i guess both? id needa redo the weights in the mesh so yea both

indigo garden
#

I think I can change the mesh anyways

pliant radish
#

bless

wind pendant
#

fiend development is really fast ngl i just realized that

#

bro is cooking at the speed of light

indigo garden
#

I can't work till later cuz at school/collage

wind pendant
#

zamn

#

college student that balances school and coding an lc mod in an relatively unstable ecosystem and doesnt accept donations

#

this is truly the beginning of history

#

a saint of the lc modding world

late walrus
#

This just means they're gonna cook harder when everything is figured out

Ecosystem aint ready for em

indigo garden
#

After I will probably make outside enemy

wind pendant
#

blud really saw all the simple chasing enemy mods and all the vague guys and decided that lc needed to be blessed with a real enemy

#

this guys def going into the company epics

late walrus
#

Yo? Actually? Holy shit, the only other outside enemy Masa's seen around in development is Ooblterra

#

OH and the metal crab actually

wind pendant
#

theres also tolietleech

late walrus
#

Oh. Right. That.

#

😭

indigo garden
#

Maybe versions of the giants with special abilities, but I will brainstorm After fiend

wind pendant
#

giants

#

words cannot describe how much i hate vanilla giants

pliant radish
#

definitely my least favorite enemy

wind pendant
#

they pretty much make eclipsed offense unplayable

late walrus
#

Masa's had a idea personally of like, enemy & interior variants based on the moon. But Masa's not a coder and the previous two ideas had like, 0 messages/interests so Masa never really continued posting lmao

#

Also an idea of things to do outside like hunting, fishing, pillaging randomly generated nests/lairs of certain enemies etc. That one's typed out but like, never sent lol

wind pendant
#

yo more stuff like the beehives would def be fire tho

#

baboon hawk nests .....

late walrus
#

Real. Imagine a lair with a sleeping giant

wind pendant
#

eyeless dog puppies

#

sandworm spice

late walrus
#

Plenty of ideas you can make for the outside

wind pendant
#

the spice must flow

late walrus
#

Heck, maybe even a special suit that lets you survive while inside of the sandworm so you can play pinocchio and extract unique scraps from inside the worm

wind pendant
#

this aint 2012 minecraft schlawg 😭

#

you are not getting a whole ass sandworm inside dungeon

late walrus
#

We're getting a whole ass sandworm interior

#

🔫

wind pendant
#

anyways i think we should keep this fiend related

#

take the fiendpill

late walrus
#

True true. was moreso trying to subtly give ideas for the project after the fiend LMAO

Gotta love the fiend

wind pendant
#

fiend for president 2024

indigo garden
#

What's the rarity for rolling giant to spawn

pliant radish
wind pendant
#

thats what it was when i checked my settings

#

and i dont think ive touched rolling giant spawnrates

late walrus
#

Rolling Giants like, guaranteed spawned atleast one time every match when set to spawn outside

wind pendant
wind pendant
#

march rolling giants

#

both suck

#

but the march rolling giants like

#

they just appear out of fucking nowhere

#

and kill you instantly if you dont drop everything and run

late walrus
indigo garden
#

In lc it'd the rolling shorty

pliant radish
#

i also changed up it's proportions a little so it looks more humanoid

wind pendant
#

bro went from "im gonna getcha hehehe" to "HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO RUN FROM ME WHEN IM RIGHT HERE?"

pliant radish
#

sorta

wind pendant
#

he looks way more menacing

gritty widget
pliant radish
#

excellent

wind pendant
#

and also differentiates the model from like

#

rinse and repeat

gritty widget
#

Is there a max amount limit we can put on him in the config? I haven’t looked for that

wind pendant
#

for the rolling giant? yeah

late walrus
#

If youre talking about the rolling giants, no clue. Wasnt too interested in the mod so kinda yoinked it out of the pack after 1 hour of playing

wind pendant
#

rolling giant is one of my favorite custom monsters

#

hes fucking ominous in the scoopys castle interior

#

he really fits the atmosphere

gritty widget
#

He’s really cool but he really forces your hand individually when he full aggros on you

#

Cause then it’s just constantly training him

wind pendant
#

i like his unpredictability

#

one of my guys looked at him for 20 seconds trying to figure out what it was one time

#

while me and another guy got chased in a different moon

frozen spoke
#

Man

This
Shrimp
Snatching Bracken
Shy Guy
Rolling Giant
Reworked Masked

it will be a nightmare inside

pliant radish
#

didn't even include moonsneer.. crying

wind pendant
#

moonsneer is gonna come out in 2026

smoky hinge
late walrus
#

Crabs, Boomba, Walkers, Moonsneer, Demo Gorgonzola

indigo garden
#

I should make mod pack that adds bunch of custom made content and inside-outside enemies after fiend

called like CrazyCompany (like crazy craft in mc lol)

late walrus
#

Demo---
LMAO AUTOCORRECT

late walrus
#

FiendishCompany

wind pendant
#

mfw fiend and the moonsneer team up

#

literally 173 with a picture of 096

frozen spoke
pliant radish
#

i think more 096 and 106

frozen spoke
#

moonsneer idk

indigo garden
wind pendant
pliant radish
#

i think they're distinct enough

#

fiend is hurt by flashies, sneer is aggro'd by flashies

wind pendant
#

cause they have completely different mechanics for flashlights

#

yeah

indigo garden
#

What if I make fiend be able to break the freaking power box lmao just rip it off the wall

late walrus
#

True

Fiend & Sneer are the modded version of Coil & Bracken duo

#

RIP IT OFF--

LMAO

indigo garden
#

Combo

#

But fiend is power 3 so don't think they spawn together

pliant radish
#

thinkin' of how to get accross his limp in his run

smoky hinge
indigo garden
pliant radish
#

why not?

indigo garden
#

Because the code moves it

late walrus
#

"Oh you dont wanna play hide & seek with me? FINE!"

R I P S

pliant radish
#

oh, i had animated the head anyway

indigo garden
#

Idk I'd that will look weird

smoky hinge
#

Yeah the Ai makes it look at the targeted player so no need to move it

frozen spoke
#

Imagine that

#

once we have lots of enemy mods

pliant radish
frozen spoke
#

wonder if they will attack or interract with eachother

smoky hinge
#

I mean technically he could animate while still using code to look at the player... It's not too hard to set up tbh

frozen spoke
#

like shy guy

smoky hinge
#

But that's just preference at this point

frozen spoke
#

or hoarding bug messing up with another monster like bracken

wind pendant
#

leave that to the fairai dev

pliant radish
#

i dont think he needs to look at the player when sprinting anyway

indigo garden
#

Fixed updates are so faster then normal updates

wind pendant
#

new fiend running anim

smoky hinge
indigo garden
smoky hinge
frosty totem
smoky hinge
#

And higher frequency = higher fixedupdate calls

indigo garden
#

At any frame

smoky hinge
#

True yeah

#

Avoids the usage of Time.Deltatime

wind pendant
#

dude this mod is gonna be so hype

#

random event leads to the whole model being remodeled and reanimated

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

this is the run anim tho, not the grab

indigo garden
#

I'm saying

pliant radish
#

was thinking he could like claw at you while running but maybe not?

#

or are you just saying to not animate the head at all?

indigo garden
#

Cry and grab he won't turn his head in that animation

pliant radish
#

so just dont animate it at all?

wind pendant
#

think he means his cry and grab anims dont move their heads

#

but the rest do i think

pliant radish
#

understood

indigo garden
#

If you animating the neck then yeah but head could work I'm just thinking would it look normal

pliant radish
#

what do you think of the run/sprint atm?

indigo garden
#

Better then what I can do

pliant radish
#

haha fair enough

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

is his stun animation like

#

him just covering his eyes as like part of a game or him genuinely being in anguish from the flashlight

indigo garden
#

His eyes burnt

#

Fr

pliant radish
#

is "grab" the kill anim btw?

late walrus
wind pendant
#

imagine flashing a light at him and he takes a few steps back as he covers his eyes in pain

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

and it gets less effective the second time as he shakes it off

pliant radish
#

oh he rips your head off? i can do some fun with that

wind pendant
#

and the third time being the rage

indigo garden
#

Which I could make player look side ways

#

For cool effect

pliant radish
#

like, rip off from the neck?

indigo garden
#

Yep like ghost girl does

pliant radish
#

i can work with that

wind pendant
#

fiend development on January 30th for some reason

late walrus
#

Actually peak

indigo garden
#

It did start like 4 days ago

ornate saffron
late walrus
#

Wish Masa could be this based but got no experience

pliant radish
#

we all start from somewhere!

indigo garden
#

I was roblox dev for like 3 years and used unity for 1 year, I usually make games and liked making mods using dnspy

#

Never made mod like this before

pliant radish
#

come give him a big ol hug

late walrus
#

Shouldve started 6 years ago ;w; but yeah coding is the goal

wind pendant
#

wonder what the new model looks like textured

late walrus
pliant radish
#

when you can role dm the textures

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

gonna go snorr mmimi, lets see if i can get a grab kill done tmr, night

late walrus
#

Ayo

indigo garden
wind pendant
indigo garden
#

There one texture

wind pendant
#

with how he bursts open the door

indigo garden
#

It's in this chat btw

#

Scroll up

#

Or look for embedded stuff

wind pendant
#

here it is

indigo garden
#

Thank for finding that

#

lol discord mobile suck

wind pendant
#

np

jaunty ocean
indigo garden
wind pendant
#

oh shit

#

imagine compat with lethalsnap lol

indigo garden
#

there could be someone out there going make mod called better fiend ai, which is cool I guess

wind pendant
#

i feel like fiend ai is already complex enough

#

id argue its bracken level

#

maybe higher

indigo garden
#

Youtubers can get views if they make a review on this mod progress maybe

"This crazy enemy is coming to lethal company..."

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

yeah

#

wild how the bunker spider is same powerlevel as mf shyguy or this guy

#

who decided that bunker spider should be lvl 3???

indigo garden
#

I think lvl 3 means if there is one lvl3 there won't be any more of them or something

wind pendant
#

no

#

its just like

#

a cap for moons

#

so that harder moons have a higher power cap

#

lvl and max amount of enemies seems to be different things

indigo garden
#

I saw power level 3 on exp

wind pendant
#

yeah

#

so its 3/4 power lvl

indigo garden
#

Ghost girl is level 2 which is wild

wind pendant
#

since spider is 3

#

and exper is max 4 power

indigo garden
#

Never seen 4 power

#

They just 3

wind pendant
#

no its like a cap

#

for the how powerful entities can be on a moon

indigo garden
#

ig

wind pendant
#

so take for example exper

#

it has a max of 4

#

power lvl

#

spider is 3 power

#

snare flea is 1

#

so exper can have

#

1 spider and 1 snare flea

#

or 4 snare flea

indigo garden
#

I made it so only 2 fiends can spawn

wind pendant
#

yeah power lvl and max spawn is completely different

indigo garden
wind pendant
#

since thumper and bracken are same power lvl

#

but there can be 4 max thumpers but only 1 bracken max

indigo garden
#

yeah

#

Fiend rarity is 10

wind pendant
#

so thatd make him a bit rarer then a bracken on exper

indigo garden
#

But remember two fiends can spawn so harder moons rip

wind pendant
#

you can check the spawnlists and entity rarities on the lethal company wiki

#

to adjust for each moon if you want

#

it seems that alot of mods nowawdays just keep a fixed spawn

#

which is pretty bleh

indigo garden
#

For rarity

wind pendant
#

theyre on each individual moon

#

this is experimentations page

indigo garden
#

K

late walrus
#

You know what? Masa might try and begin the mod journey

#

The fiending is motivating

undone owl
#

That is if the creator wants lol

wind pendant
#

you know the modding scene is fresh when the modders want MORE work

#

like leaving a peeled banana on a counter

indigo garden
#

I'm very motivated on this project

late walrus
#

Your motivation is infectious

wind pendant
#

the big bang of the lethalverse

late walrus
#

RAAAAH

frosty totem
#

The motivation is true, I have 0 experience with Unity, C# and Blender but the primal urge to create is there

late walrus
#

Dew it

#

Make that 0 experience 1 experience

#

Now the experience can spawn

#

..Let's not talk about the fact the value is usually -1 for disabling though, whilst 0 being Default

Or so thats what the configuration told Masa in game

indigo garden
#

I saw making configuration will be hard

wind pendant
#

man that argument was as pointless as the lockpicker

#

hope you didnt lose any motivation from it

indigo garden
#

I didn't, I just felt bad

wind pendant
#

you shouldnt be

#

you wanted to make a mod and didnt know someone was in the middle of making another

#

being uninformed isnt a sin

indigo garden
#

But it's bad that he made it like 3 months

wind pendant
#

thats not exactly your fault now is it

#

and besides

#

just as batby said

indigo garden
#

Well I think his mod and mine can work together

wind pendant
#

what youre doing and what noops doing are completely different things

indigo garden
#

Doesn't moon shows when it's all dark

wind pendant
#

i genuinely have no idea and im pretty sure noop prefers for it to stay that way

indigo garden
#

My enemy will have ability to rip off the power box

#

😇

wind pendant
#

anyways what the moonsneer does is what they do and what you do is you do

indigo garden
#

I know

wind pendant
#

dont let what they do demotivate you or force you to change

#

anyways i have zero (0) hours of sleep and i just had my monthly dose of random stupid ass argument

#

so i have no clue when im going to completely shatter

#

anyways good luck with modding

indigo garden
#

@pliant radish I also use grab animation to break doors, pull and push animation be nice

pliant radish
#

Why not just make a new anim? Just have him KICK down a door

indigo garden
#

I also want him to grab stuff and throw it

frosty totem
#

Can damage be applied to the doors? Almost as if it were considered a projectile?

pliant radish
#

Isn't he becoming a smidge complex?

indigo garden
#

Wdym

#

Grab stuff like the power box

#

And break it

pliant radish
#

He plays hide and seek, kicks down doors, hides on the ceiling, can grab and throw stuff and is stunned by flashies

indigo garden
#

I already did half the stuff

pliant radish
#

Compared to like coilhead who is just fast when you don't look at him

#

Yes I know but imo the simplicity of the enemies is the charm

indigo garden
#

this is mod 😭 and no one knows what game this guy is from

frosty totem
#

I'm guessing the rarity and hiding will balance him out, like if he's chilling on a ceiling and you know where he is you can avoid him?

indigo garden
#

or some atleast

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

Having an enemy do like 6 different things kind of clashes with the other very simple enemies

indigo garden
#

The modes are base on rng

pliant radish
#

So is jester so is coilhead so are more t3s

tender grove
#

This mod is very hype

indigo garden
#

If people don't like it then don't install it

pliant radish
#

Yea but that makes the enemy just unclear, imagine if the bracken just had a chance to decide to play under completely different rules

indigo garden
pliant radish
#

After you stare at him

sinful turret
pliant radish
#

He isn't rng at all he always functions under the same rules

indigo garden
#

The log about the character is going be long lol
