Nope.
I have to make 3 new sounds.
And I told Monty that after playing Elden Ring for 150 hours in a row.
So, in two weeks.

doubt it 😔
vocal mantle
i absolutely despise flora or fauna sorry i am only here for The Mechanisms
vocal mantle
To be fair I'm pretty sure this mod was conceptualized before V50 - before old birds
The biggest fauna outlier at the time was the coil head
vocal mantle
yeah february is a while ago
vocal mantle
so what im saying is maybe they have an alternate old bird or somethin
dull needle
probably yeah

horses scare me

a supportive and rideable mecha horse wouldnt be too hard to make :p
yeah
too many legs
i understand
vocal mantle
a horse is like halfway to arachnophobia yknow
dull needle
i can see the connection, somewhere
vocal mantle
a supportive and rideable mecha horse wouldnt be too hard to make :p
Well you see horses are boring so if you want a horse that'd be the one thing you'd have to pay me to make

what DO you like to make then huh?
dull needle
and anything non mechanical apparently
vocal mantle
What do you have in mind then
vocal mantle
how do u feel about the grox
If you need the literal grox from me then no, if something similar then you have to be more specific
dull needle
not the literal grox no, i can probably fgind that on google
something mechanically similar, like an invasive species thats half robot half biological
vocal mantle
Well the reason i dislike biological is because i am bad with biological so it'd have to be a really specific design for me to be up for it
vocal mantle
theres this guy and he's fine cause just look at him yoo

horses are fucked up dude
vocal mantle
YES yes they are
dull needle
theres this guy and he's fine cause just look at him yoo
what about a robot puppy that follows you around like a pet
do i gotta specify that one in detail too?
well, i do kind of have a design in mind already actually
vocal mantle
well it'd be eternal damnation for me to model biological dog parts but if it's an entirely robot puppy then yeah thats acceptable and not horse looking
dull needle
entirely robot
im thinking of metal gear revengeance blade wolf as like an inspiration
vocal mantle
Acceptable
dull needle
something like this as an inspiration is pretty cool, idrk about the lethality of the dog since it'd be a support companion thats not too op but something like te hook in this screenshot to grab items in front of it or smthn would be cool
anyway just lmk whenever you're free for it
vocal mantle
anyway just lmk whenever you're free for it
i am free almost anytime but you need to find some more concrete references of what you have in mind
a scribble or getting an artist to conceptualize it
dull needle
hmm i might have someone
vocal mantle
i can see you dialing up eba
dull needle
nono, i have my own concept artists
plus i kinda owe eba to do some bug fixes with LT but im still working on some stuff there slowly lol
