A reworked port of Charlotte's Labyrinth from Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable...
distant shoal
will post some early progress screenshots soon
currently putting the project together
distant shoal
heres some reference images while i patch the project
gonna try and get the areas as 1:1 to the source as possible, but expect changes to be made incase things need to be adjusted to fit LC
slender horizon
Can't wait to make a shift there as a magical employee 🪄
I wish you the best while working on this 👍
dim schooner
I remember watching madoka ages ago and while I have my issues with the show I will say some of the visuals/environments (esp around the witches) were cool as fuck so having all that in lethal will probably be one hell of an experience
Can't wait to see how it ends up playing ingame
distant shoal
Can't wait to see how it ends up playing ingame
yeah if all goes to plan itll be one hell of a trip

distant shoal
dang im surprised so many people latched onto this so quick lmao
i just love the show a lot and was like hm maybe i can slap something from it into LC
slender horizon
I'm in a love/hate relationship with this show, same as Muv-Luv and Akame ga Kill. If you know, you know 😭

im probably more obsessed than i should be, ive seen it 10 times over the past 8 years

We went from waffle-cone ice cream cake land to... what in the world is happening now?
dim schooner
witch labyrinths are known for rocking the "you just took an obscene amount of some hallucinogenic substance" look

this
it looks like ill need to get a little creative as it turns out while the assets this game has for this labyrinth are nice, theyre quite limited
the walkthrough i watched of this game they spent about 3 minutes in that waffle-cone-y area
💀
dim schooner
lmao
distant shoal
which i was surprised by because theres still a fair few models, props, etc made for just that tiny section
dim schooner
Yeah could be worth taking some inspiration from how the area looks in the show though i bet that'd be a Time to replicate
distant shoal
yeah ill need to study up on what the show covers again
and see what i can replicate
having atleast some models and textures is a huge help
dim schooner
Iirc it was in episode 3/sometime in the first recap movie that particular labyrinth is explored
distant shoal
yup
dim schooner
Recap movies updated the visuals a bunch across the board, idk how big the differences are between the show and recap movies here
distant shoal
from what i can tell that first area in the game is made up, the show itself has 4 areas, the first 3 are in these images
the first room will be a bit tough to replicate
but 2nd should be pretty easy
just a bunch of bottles
gonna check the movie
dim schooner
but 2nd should be pretty easy
yeah, luckily
dim schooner
the first room will be a bit tough to replicate
though yeah with how much visual mess there tends to be i'm not surprised lmao
distant shoal
honestly though theyre so chaotic i can probably get away with just putting a bunch of shit everywhere
and itll just work
dim schooner
lmao yeah
distant shoal
i can invent a bunch of rooms too that just feel vaguely similar and itll work
dim schooner
Probably
distant shoal
yeah movie didnt change anything
dim schooner
fair enough, the witch labyrinths probs had the most effort put into them in the show so not much need to change them
The movies mainly changed other, non-witch related locales
most likely
bright idol
from what i can tell that first area in the game is made up, the show itself has...
So it's being spliced up like a Yume Nikki dream world. Nice. I see different whimsical themes all at once. Arts & Crafts with fruit scattered about, Trippy flooring with sweets on hooks, bottled treats, etc.
distant shoal
im not really familiar with yume nikki but yeah whimsical but unsettling chaos
bright idol
im not really familiar with yume nikki but yeah whimsical but unsettling chaos
It translates to "Dream Diary" so it's about a girl exploring her own dreams.
Sometimes they can look like nightmares, but oftentimes they look like LSD trips
distant shoal
i see, interesting
dim schooner
Sometimes they can look like nightmares, but oftentimes they look like LSD trips
true that, I remember playing yume nikki ages ago
Even outside what you currently have for references if you need to make smth up it could be helpful to keep some of the context provided by the source material in mind
(HEAVY madoka magica spoilers in this message be warned) ||Considering the labyrinth is a reflection of the mental state of a magical girl who fell to despair and probably had a massive sweet tooth prior to the fact (or maybe the sweets were part of why that happened) there's probs a bunch more stuff you could do with that info||

||from what i recall the backstory is really sad, lemme check||
||Her backstory revealed on Magia Record was really tragic. Her mother was ill and she was planning to wish to cure her illness, but she was abusive to her to the point that he tells her that having given birth to her is the reason for her problems, so instead she wished to give her a cheesecake. She doesn't even like cheese, but it symbolized the love she wished she had received from his mother, and wanted to use it give her mother that love. But then her mother was killed by The Sleepingwalking Ghost and never received her cheesecake, so she sold her soul for nothing. When she became Charlotte, she was surrounded by all kind of sweets but no cheese, symbolizing that she never got the love that she wanted. It is implied that she also mistook Mami's hair for cheese.||
direct excerpt from a wiki ^^
also big spoilers
dim schooner
||Yeah that's what I remember hearing||
||It sucks this info is kinda obscure, I've never seen magia record (the witch's backstory is never elaborated on in the show and the former magical girl that became that way though she shows up in rebellion briefly doesn't even have her name dropped outside supplementary material iirc)||
distant shoal
||i think the reason for that is they never expected charlotte to be as popular as she was, she was just a witch like the rest which is a pretty fair assumption considering how brief her appearance is||
dim schooner
||Yeah fair, charlotte was primarily a plot device only there to set the show's real tone (and kill a certain someone don't forget that)||
distant shoal
props
thesell spawn in sets at random, no every room wont be littered
this is just if all of them spawn which is impossible cuz this is 4 sets, max 3 can spawn so itll be a lot less cluttered than this at most
dim schooner
fair enough
distant shoal
actually 2 probably better

as of right now generation is like this, big changes to come
scenic trench
as of right now generation is like this, big changes to come
Well
How are the loot circles
distant shoal
loot circles? as in just how does loot generate?
scenic trench
Yeah. The main issue I've seen /w all custom interiors is poor loot circles, but if it's good enough to where you'll consistently find a decent chunk of scrap throughout the day (Like the Factory, Manor, and Mineshaft), then its tiles sizes shouldn't be an issue
distant shoal
technically interiors dont have any affect on loot spawns at all, what i assume is happening is 2 things:
- loot is either spawning in impossible to reach spaces, or hard to spot spaces making it feel like theres less loot
- tiles are larger making the overall pool spread out further
the tiles here are... relatively normal sized i would say?
theres no particular "loot rooms" so it wont feel like you stumble upon a room of 10 items after 30 rooms of nothing, which depending on the person is a good or bad thing

||man i can't wait to find kyubey and not sell my soul gem this time but this time I witness half my team die and then promptly become a witch, completely fucking up part of the interior and killing everyone else in my team||

Can't wait to use Kyubey as a gun

im hoping to make my own enemies for this mod so skins wont be needed :)

very much so, thank you
distant shoal
gah! animating cats is hard.. but i think im almost there
just trying to make them move in order properly
the legs i mean
i could probably leave it as is and no one would notice but i want to keep it accurate!
pretty decent so far for a first time animating a cat i think!
or well, catlike thing.
bright idol
pretty decent so far for a first time animating a cat i think!
What about alternating left and right for forward and back, so that each left isn't moving in the same direction and vice versa for right?
Otherwise, the Kyubey would fall over on its side.
distant shoal
shit
that didnt embed
this is the reference im using
the left back paw moves before the front, same for the right
im currently trying to do that aspect
crisp gulch
im currently trying to do that aspect
Well I mean
crisp gulch
im hoping to make my own enemies for this mod so skins wont be needed :)
You should have both...
Lethal doesn't like it when you remove all enemies from the spawn pool
crisp gulch
Like only having custom enemies is cool
But lethal kinda doesn't like when there's no vanilla monsters spawning
distant shoal
if enemies spawn in this interior they get reskinned on top of having my own new enemies
crisp gulch
It kinda loses its shit
distant shoal
i never planned on not making other entities spawn if thats what you were worried about
crisp gulch
i never planned on not making other entities spawn if thats what you were worrie...
I don't think you can do that...
Unless the interior is with a moon
distant shoal
now im confused
crisp gulch
Think like this
distant shoal
what do you mean by remove enemies from the spawn pool?
crisp gulch
what do you mean by remove enemies from the spawn pool?
Well interiors don't decide what enemies spawn when you make a moon however then you can decide what enemies spawn in LETHAL
distant shoal
correct
crisp gulch
All I'm saying is that if you're gonna have custom enemies have them mixed in with vanilla monsters too since moons with only custom enemies tend to glitch or break
If that makes sense
distant shoal
im just gonna do the same as my other interior where each moon the interior spawns on it adds the custom enemy weights
on top of the rest of the weights
unless theres a better way to do it idk
crisp gulch
unless theres a better way to do it idk
Making a moon for the custom interior helps a LOT
distant shoal
i was considering that yeah just unsure yet if i have the assets to make a full moon out of this concept
but we'll see!
distant shoal
barrier? labyrinth?
crisp gulch
barrier? labyrinth?
The barrier to the labyrinth
I thought they were called dungeon points..
Basically the areas where the witch's reside
distant shoal
barrier is what the localization called the labyrinths iirc
crisp gulch
Isn't the barrier the entrance
That's what I'm trying to say
distant shoal
or a ward
crisp gulch
You could make it like a city with a glowing point
distant shoal
theres many words
crisp gulch
And that's the entrance to the dungeon
distant shoal
oh yea i considered that
crisp gulch
crisp gulch
but then id have to build a city is the thing
True...
distant shoal
and as far as i know theres no madoka game with a model for that area
or any city in general
dim schooner
I mean wouldn't just mimicking the first stuff you see for a main entrance room work?
distant shoal
hell, the biggest scope madoka game weve gotten is this PSP one
dim schooner
In the show
crisp gulch
Can I be real? I totally forgot about what content is in the psp game
dim schooner
It'd be weird to go into the building only to see more exterior
distant shoal

Super coding
dim schooner
That'd likely be a lot of work, both on your/probably moon-maker's ends
distant shoal
i dont have the models to make a big dessert-style area
distant shoal
He fucking made some crazy moons it's possible
yea but hes also an experienced modeler
crisp gulch
yea but hes also an experienced modeler
I ain't
distant shoal
i barely can use blender for basic functions
distant shoal
so creating my own assets from scratch for this is.... unlikely
crisp gulch
You can always ask around
And lemme be real
I've been scouring the web and I find Roblox to have some good 3D models
distant shoal
i could pin a message i guess saying if anyone wants to collaborate to make the moon portion id be down
distant shoal
I've been scouring the web and I find Roblox to have some good 3D models
itd have to fit the aesthetic of the moon though, these are PSP models/textures
crisp gulch
itd have to fit the aesthetic of the moon though, these are PSP models/textures
Ah
Fair

distant shoal
i can yeah but like
crisp gulch
It won't be the same?
distant shoal
mainly the style i guess
crisp gulch
Well work with what you got
distant shoal
good luck finding roblox assets like this 💀
but yea i dunno maybe ill do a moon
itll atleast wait until im farther along on the interior
crisp gulch
itll atleast wait until im farther along on the interior
I think so
There's also a mod collaboration section in the server
Could throw something out there
dim schooner
||would be a massively powerful witch to have encompassed an entire moon in its labyrinth ngl||
distant shoal
my other interior for example i had the same idea pretty much, but itll be a very long time before the moon portion is finished
dim schooner
||Lore could be absolutely crazy with that||
||Some princess of a planet-wide monarchy (that she wished for to become a magical girl) could get her country invaded by old birds, other magical girls could've fallen to despair trying to fight them off and failing until she falls herself and ravages the kingdom she brought into being with her extreme importance||

crisp gulch

No like basically
It reverts the space back to normal
dim schooner
Yeah, basically what I said but less wordy
He'd need to somehow make a seperate vanilla+ version of all the tiles to go with that
crisp gulch
Bro be fighting boxes in the end
😭
We are listing too many ideas
just do the interior
distant shoal
grief seed
i like the idea but ||charlotte herself will make an appearance in the interior which complicates things||
crisp gulch
It's gonna be awesome
dim schooner
||yeah, hence why I mentioned "ig kill the witch if it exists"||
||Somehow killing the witch could act as an appy pull and drop the seed then mayhaps||
distant shoal
yeah i dont have any plans to do anything super crazy, mostly because of the sheer SCOPE of some cool ideas, but ||a grief seed scrap as a drop from charlotte maybe? would be cool, i currently dont plan on making her killable, more like a hazard but we'll see||

Most vanilla interiors don't
And by that I mean 2 out of 3 of them don't

distant shoal
smh hes supposed to sit down here and there too but he wont sit
😠
also does that size seem correct
i think it looks good
slender horizon
Well the employee is much bigger than the characters in the show I think the size is fine for LC. 👆
Also for the potential moon, I feel like the ward/barrier idea before the labyrinth might be the better option.
Sure you could make a city and the interior is the other dimension, but wouldn't it be weird to have monsters in the real world (for lore reasons I mean)
I feel like if the interior is shock full of stuff you can make something simpler for the outside
distant shoal
thats true! i forgot having monsters just in a regular city thats meant to be normal would be weird lmao
so definitely have the ship go right into the labyrinth
slender horizon
thats true! i forgot having monsters just in a regular city thats meant to be no...
It's also fine to make the ship land somewhere in the city and have the rift to the labyrinth close by and have no monster spawning aside from maybe the harmless ones, would be more lore accurate but I feel it's a bit "meh" gameplay wise
distant shoal
that could maybe work but i dont wanna build a whole city just for a boring gameplay area
the more i think about it it would just be a city and thats about it
could be more fun/interesting as "part of the labyrinth" instead
slender horizon
yeah that may be nice for fans of the show if you had lots of references in it but... lacks impact really
distant shoal
yeah, and id rather have something that appeals to everyone, like is also just interesting on its own
slender horizon
My best advice would be to go for a light and colorful mood for the moon and very eerie for the interior
I believe most people looking at the show felt like this "Well this looks cute and then... OMFG WTH is going on !?"
the false sense of security should slap hard lol
distant shoal
My best advice would be to go for a light and colorful mood for the moon and ver...

distant shoal

this ^
slender horizon
that works imho !
distant shoal
that might be the best idea for it so far tbh, it doesnt actually even have an opening anyways so id have to mess with the mesh to connect it to the interior
which i was worried about
this way it works as a great outside area, as well as not have to be modified to fit the game
i just slap an entrance door to the interior and well... done
and ofc ||charlotte in the middle to act as a well.. yknow, find out ||
distant shoal
gonna start working on that now
so initial release im thinking is ||simple moon + current interior with maybe a few more rooms, i wanna get it out functional then slowly add the more complex mechanics + final rooms down the line||

Remember the knife is a very light and quick weapon, but you gotta kill a Butler and run from BEES to get it
distant shoal
well kyoko herself isnt gonna be in the mod to drop her spear so
💀
the plan is to make it a rare scrap
actually
what i could do
is give it a chunky duration recoil thing.. whats it called? like a delay after you swing before you can do anything again, and while attacking you cant move around/move very slowly
it would er... still be really strong but that would help
bright idol
is give it a chunky duration recoil thing.. whats it called? like a delay after ...
Do a funny thing where you can't hit close-up things but you can definitely hit far-away things.
You gotta be THIS far away from the target to kill it
distant shoal
the 2nd attack will def be like that
you gotta space it right
first attack just hits in a straight line so if they strafe youre fucked
but both are still far better than the shovels hitbox
💀
we'll see

for now gonna start working on charlotte

||i added a light to make the face actually be visible but looks like you can kinda see that theres a light there lol so gonna just give it emission instead||
distant shoal
will put finishing touches tomorrow then resume work on QB
now that the script is working properly again

Seeing things taking shape like this is really great, I have a feeling I will get a lot of hate from teammates when suggesting to interact with the 'cute' thing in the above clip 🤣

Listen
If you're an ass you die
Basically
distant shoal
True!
distant shoal
looks so empty without the pngs...
gonna try and copy paste some meshes around to fill the space with actual models
hollow magnet
I think you could bullshit your way around including pngs in a silly way
but models should be better like, entirely lol
this looks so good!!
distant shoal
I think you could bullshit your way around including pngs in a silly way
my first thought would use a similar method as is commonly used in grass, which is pngs that face toward you but it still just wouldnt look good lmao
especially since theyre large pngs
not just little bits on the ground
hollow magnet
my first thought would use a similar method as is commonly used in grass, which ...
YE i was gonna suggest that
either that or like minecraft grass
which wouldlook p jank LOL
hollow magnet
especially since theyre large pngs
ahhh got it
distant shoal
yeah theyre just too big
and since its a walkable area itd be super obvious
the inerior uses that method but its not as noticable
all the wall props are pngs
but theyre small and you dont really get a good angle on it to make it super obviosu they are
slender horizon
yeah it's fine on the walls but look a bit weird on the ground
distant shoal
yeah, when youre actively walking around it and looking at it it becomes jank
the more i work with stuff like this the more i appreciate the original work and how they set things up
theres sparkles around the ceiling that sparkle
and the way they did it was pretty clever
its controlled by an animation that just adjusts the texture offset
instead of having mutliple sprites and swapping them it just says hey, look at a different section of the same sprite
fun way to learn creative ways to do different things, just look through how other people do things and analyze their methods/tricks
the models are also mapped quite well for the interior, i can put all kinds of different textures on the walls and itll tile well
same model, different texture slapped onb
the diff textures arent even made to be on walls either, its just mapped in a way to where it works
(the image on the right is the original intended method, left is my alternate)
this cookie is what that texture is meant for
or cookie-like thing? idk what its supposed to be exactly
distant shoal
fun way to learn creative ways to do different things, just look through how oth...
and also seeing the mistakes they either didnt notice or hoped no one else would lmao
like this model floating above the ground
(one of several)
distant shoal
main entrance, subject to change
fire exit 1
Charlotte's Labyrinth [Moon/Interior]
might as well update the title
hollow magnet
this cookie is what that texture is meant for
wtf, and it came out so good omg
this is gonna be so heat bro...
distant shoal
wtf, and it came out so good omg
yeah i was so surprised
it looks meant for it
oh yea @brittle marlin quick question, for the item ship on my moon can i remove all the audioclips and whatnot on it or will that make it silent ingame
i wanna optimize this as much as possible
and wondering if itd add em back or something, idk how this blank reference stuff 100% works tbh
currently the moon is 3mb and interior is 1.2mb
which i think is pretty good!
distant shoal
interior is very small as its only 7 tiles so far
distant shoal
i have plans for many more tiles but ill likely only add a few before the initial release
i wanna get the mod out fairly early on so i can collect lots of feedback
brittle marlin
oh yea <@295510119184203777> quick question, for the item ship on my moon can i ...
nope
scriptable objects like where you find ambience sounds that you can empty out
distant shoal
brilliant, thanks!
hollow magnet
i have plans for many more tiles but ill likely only add a few before the initia...
as long as the interior has good variation and a decent loot spread I'm all for it
the vibes are already immaculate
distant shoal
interior now 1.1mb and moon 2.5mb
but expect these numbers to rise a lot over time
as i havent implemented a bunch of sounds, enemies, scrap, etc that i wish to add
main entrance ingame
fire exit little hard to see tbh lol
gonna make some adjustments
hollow magnet
fire exit little hard to see tbh lol
I mean I think that's good if it's not super visible
rewards exploration, kind of
distant shoal
i dont wanna make it TOO obvious but you could so easily miss that even being right next to it
hollow magnet
and the text is emmissive so, it's pretty easy to see
distant shoal
so im just making it a tad brighter
hollow magnet
i dont wanna make it TOO obvious but you could so easily miss that even being ri...
i guess so yeah, though most fire exits in the game are supposed to be somewhat hidden, and you find your way to them by using them from the inside most of the time
distant shoal
yeye i agree, i just think it shouldnt be hidden within its own tile, if you enter the tile and look around you should notice the door without too much issue
if you manage to find the tile, look right at it, and not notice because it was too dark then ehhhhh
this seems good
hollow magnet
oooh this is on the interior?
distant shoal
yeye
hollow magnet
I thought it was a second fire exit for the moon!!! LOL
nevermind everything I said making it brighter is a good move
distant shoal
lmaoo nah its just a similar style
distant shoal
so far my only concern is the moon might be a bit small
so youd get to the entrances pretty quick, and the enemies would be all pretty close to each other/the ship
hollow magnet
I think that's fine
distant shoal
i am definitely NOT adding giants to this map
hollow magnet
I would much rather a small moon than a super big one with a boring layout
distant shoal
because everyone would have a miserable time
distant shoal
i was just gonna say that
hollow magnet
actually.....imagine a leviathan skin that looks like that Thing
i forgot its name, but yknow what I mean
distant shoal
that.. could work!
hollow magnet
||the big black thing w the colorful spots and the white face||
distant shoal
i wonder if i can do that
hollow magnet
you can do a full model and sound replacement and set it to only show up on this moon using Enemy skin registry
distant shoal
i probably shouldnt add bees either because the trip to the ship is too easy
hollow magnet
yeah probs
distant shoal
exterior puffer?
hollow magnet
a way I've found to balance bees on small moons is including an eyeless dog early in the morning
distant shoal
not exactly that dangerous but funny and kinda fits the look of the moon lmao
hollow magnet
but I'm not sure that's the vibe you want LOL
hollow magnet
not exactly that dangerous but funny and kinda fits the look of the moon lmao
oh ye that'd be cute
distant shoal
yeah nah i want it to seem pretty chill at first
hollow magnet
so you want chill then chaos? or chill and then moderate difficulty
distant shoal
hmm
probably chill then moderate
making it too chaotic or too rewarding i dont really want as the trip is too easy, would be broken with high scrap count
and just a mess with too many enemies
hollow magnet
hmm yeah yeah
distant shoal
def nutcrackers inside
hollow magnet
outside jester seems moderate 😏
hollow magnet
def nutcrackers inside
oh for sure, I think any toy-adjacent enemies would fit super well
hollow magnet
for the interior? yeah it might be an issue
hollow magnet
if you're down for inside enemies outside and vise versa I think outside barbers could work and would mix up the earth leviathan gameplay a lil
hollow magnet
thumper would be pretty terrifying in the tight corners
oo yes yes
distant shoal
if you're down for inside enemies outside and vise versa I think outside barbers...
how does the barber even work tho, wouldnt it just chase you down constantly outside?
hollow magnet
only enemies I see being a lil annoying with the tight corridoors in the interior are hygroderes and maybe maneaters once they get big
hollow magnet
how does the barber even work tho, wouldnt it just chase you down constantly out...
I'm not sure how they choose their target, but they'd just catch you off guard while you're trying to outrun a levi
distant shoal
can try it on low rate, see how it goes
hollow magnet
ye enemy stuff is mostly just a gamefeel thing
when I get back home I'll probably watch back some of this stuff, I'm getting the madoker bug again
distant shoal
gonna be doing some in depth testing to make sure the moon/interior works correctly
distant shoal
so far so good!
enemies seem to spawn fine, outside and inside as far as i can tell
QB is still a little buggy though
distant shoal
testing QB pick-up
distant shoal
OH MY GOD
IT WORKS
im very shocked i got that working nearly first try
needs some tweaks but yeah
i thought this was gonna take a while ngl lmao
versed dune

distant shoal
i am actively getting sidetracked from working on this to announce my little kyoko has arrived!!!
okay now to actually make progress on the mod but for sure this time...

distant shoal
w.i.p
distant shoal
omg main cast scrap plushies confirmed for the interior, jk jk x)
id love to actually
but well frankly i dont got the modeling prowess to make it happen
distant shoal
iirc those are scans of the actual plushes
i dont really like how they look tbh, id rather have low poly PS2 style models
slender horizon
i dont really like how they look tbh, id rather have low poly PS2 style models
agreed, what about super small sized 3D models ? like figures
distant shoal
it couuuuld work but ehhh
slender horizon
any models from the PSP game ?
distant shoal
PSP has no models for the quintet sadly, i think the vita does though
yeah theres vita models
the best i could maybe do myself is adjust the proportians to be kinda like a plush but itd be really scuffed
or.. actually
maybe find a low poly fumo template
and stitch stuff together
slender horizon
could work
distant shoal
w.i.p
slender horizon
looking nice !
distant shoal
peak
distant shoal
WHAT IS THAT!
intrusive thoughts and too much power got the better of me
distant shoal
gonna test new generation
in theory it should work perfectly with 0 issues whatsoever for sure 100%
pog!
hm somehow need to make it less obvious its boxed in
ah shit i also didnt think about this lmao
oh well! thats just how its gonna be unfortunately.
gonna start adding some deco
crisp gulch
ah shit i also didnt think about this lmao
Nice work
distant shoal
nope
did some testing and now the item ship seems to be completely silent so maybe i did it wrong?
nice generation 💀 💀
hollow magnet
funnily enough is still under 2mb
you're a beaaast
distant shoal
nice generation 💀 💀
reason this happened is i forgot to set the tile that enters that section fo the labyrinth to only spawn later in the generation
and i set the entry tile to that area to only spawn once, so it just entered right away and never exited
distant shoal
interior now has 12 unique tiles
im wrong
its actually more
my dumbass forgot to add several tiles to the tileset
theres actually 15
distant shoal
fixed this, turns out scene stuff like the item ship the best i can do is just compress the files myself
even with compression the item ship is like half the size of the moon
distant shoal
nice generation 💀 💀
better generation
brittle marlin
did some testing and now the item ship seems to be completely silent so maybe i ...
Yeah my “nope” meant you cant empty out the sounds 
. Only scriptable objects like the ambience sounds on the moon itself or items, enemies, etc all referenced in the selectable level
distant shoal
Gonna try and get some basic implementation done on the weapons when I get home from work
I don't know how I'm gonna figure out animations but uh... I'll figure something out!
distant shoal
nvm its an absolute pain to try and make these without in-editor testing so im going to wait until i figure that part out
i got kyokos spear in, with animations on the spear itself but getting the player to hold it correctly, and swing it right is gonna either be impossible or just really rough
distant shoal
okay i managed to get in-editor testing mostly set up
progress on weapons will resume somewhat soon
distant shoal
E
distant shoal
How feature complete do y'all want the mod before it's first release? Currently tiles are in and fully functional, only scrap is the one plushie, and no custom enemies
I plan on adding those weapons, more scrap, more tiles, and lots of little cool things but do y'all want an initial release out soon with what is currently done?
distant shoal
ill also likely be releasing a madoka models mod to play it with using the PSVita models
versed dune
a release with the interior and one scrap would be good enough, like that we could give you more feedback on how the mod's doing in games
slender horizon
Up to you, I personally prefer to try out more fleshed out mods, but it's also nice to beta test and go bug hunting as well XD
distant shoal
wtf happened????
😭
somehow the more i test the more gamebreaking issues i find
there are so many problems that suddenly appeared in the past few days
okay i think im slowly fixing them
nvm no im not
bright idol
Oh no, they are multiplying
crisp gulch
being able to test in the editor is a godsend
Man...
distant shoal
slowly getting closer to functional code
hollow magnet
thats better!
NICEE
I also think it'd work better if the big worm was a lil bigger
looks super good other than that..
distant shoal
I also think it'd work better if the big worm was a lil bigger
||i considered that at first but it barely fits in the moon as is||
hollow magnet
aaaah gotcha
distant shoal
its also about to scale if im not mistaken
hollow magnet
ye i gotchu
distant shoal
speaking of worms, the sand worms seem to be broken on the exterior and after some research it might be because of the floor layer
i set it to puddle to match the fact its basically like a cream youre walking on, but i think the sand worms get confused and dont attack because of it
so adding another collider right below with a different layer to see if that helps them figure it out
hollow magnet
i set it to puddle to match the fact its basically like a cream youre walking on...
oh yeah probably
bright idol
||i considered that at first but it barely fits in the moon as is||
Bro just wants a taste of the chocolate ceiling.
distant shoal
cant blame him, looks yummy
distant shoal
so adding another collider right below with a different layer to see if that hel...
yup this fixed it
tag* not layer
they dont like the puddle layer
okay so theres still a really strange issue with picking up QB but other than that i think everythings working
actually wait nvm i forgot QB movement in general is a bit off
gonna try and get that fixed then release the initial update
distant shoal
Depending on today's progress I may just release the update with QB disabled for now
It's a really obnoxious bug that just spams the logs really bad, and I've got no clue how to fix it
hollow magnet
have you discussed it in any of the dev channels?
distant shoal
Extensively
hollow magnet
eug
slender horizon
looking good !

FAUNA: Grotesque and surreal supernatural beings.
flooded
distant shoal
gah DAMN who turned the fog up (i reduced it a bit)
in order to make flooded actually slow you down i had to change the tag of the ground to snow, so now it sounds a little off but flooded works and you make footprints in the cream floor
slender horizon
frosted cream floor, sounds okay to me XD
hollow magnet

iirc you can have the floor make different sounds than the tag you assigned it to makes
thru LLL
(had to ask Jacob cuz I remember hearing about this a looong time ago)

Wait really???
apparently so!
distant shoal
OH! extended footstep surface!
distant shoal
apparently so!
thanks!
hollow magnet
yeah fucking
jacob decided to omit that information i guess LOL
or maybe he didn't know
distant shoal
or im doing it wrong but like
hollow magnet
in any case I found out just now as well
distant shoal
im pretty sure im not
looks good to me
oh well
ill just leave it for now
not a big deal
hollow magnet
distant shoal
oh lol setting it to default aint gonna cut it though
cuz thatll break other shit
meh oh well its fine
distant shoal
peak video clip
fuck
encoding
its the video clip thatll play in the terminal when you route there
hm.
maybe the aspect ratio is wrong or smth?
oh wait weather registry disables them
nice
id say that looks good!
im going to remove QB from spawning for the time being but keep it in the files incase anyone wants to spawn him in with Imperium/other mods to mess around with him
hollow magnet
oh wait weather registry disables them
that and it needs to be the exact same video file
iirc
distant shoal
yeah m4v
distant shoal
gonna make some final balancing adjustments then work on uploading the mod
it will take a bit as i need to create a mod page and all that but it should be done soon enough
expect issues, and balancing changes, etc
ill compile a list of known minor issues soon to pin here
yall will need to lmk how the enemy/scrap balancing is as my brain too smol and i dont got the time to test it in depth
ill likely make that madoka models mod tomorrow so yall can try it with the madoka cast
i cant get the enter stinger to play for some reason
so if yall can lmk if thats just me thatd be great
hollow magnet
yall will need to lmk how the enemy/scrap balancing is as my brain too smol and ...
will do!!
hollow magnet
i cant get the enter stinger to play for some reason
how did you go about it?
distant shoal
just set it in first time dungeon audio
then tried using revisit stingers mod
also would yall prefer if the interior had the footprints as well?
at the cost of snowy step sounds
i set it outside so worms/flood works but i can set it inside too to keep consistency/have footprints there too
hollow magnet
then tried using revisit stingers mod
don't think that's compatible with custom interiors?
how generic and wesley do it is they put a trigger on the front door that activates it
hollow magnet
like a 10% chance of it to happen and it rolls the chance once per day
distant shoal
uploading now!
i proably should have uploaded just the zip here first for beta tests before the proper release to make sure i didnt do something really dumb but fuck it!
it probably works!
solid sparrow
The “weird white line next to the ship” in the known issues section might be from imperium btw!
distant shoal
OH lol
i do test with imperium
ill remove that then
i was racking my brain over that for a while 😅 thanks!
well i think its about time i sleep (i was supposed to a while ago)
i hope yall enjoy the mod! ❤️
slender horizon
Well, I have a lethal session planned with friends tomorrow, I know what to do 💖
lunar sedge
Yeah i can confirm the white line is 100% from imperium lmao
I just arrived in this thread after seeing the upload on thunderstore and honestly the interior looks really clean , i'll play it one day but i like the visuals so far🙌
As for the moon, this looks also good, i wonder how the Majora skybox will look on it, might be insane
distant shoal
I just arrived in this thread after seeing the upload on thunderstore and honest...
The wha-?? I'm not sure if it will... The moon is very boxed in 
distant shoal
Any mods that affect the sun/stuff in the sky will likely not work well
Now that I think about it... Meteor shower
Not much I can really do as the whole design is meant for it to be boxed in but yea that'll be funky
lunar sedge
well idk how close the ceiling is, if the black "sky" here is indeed a ceilling in the first place
distant shoal
It is indeed a ceiling! I put some fog there so it looks real distant
lunar sedge
Ok, lol, no worries
distant shoal
As well as to mask the point lights up there that light up the moon
lunar sedge
Ill inspect
distant shoal
There's a lot of visual trickery going on up there
lunar sedge
im launching rn
distant shoal
gonna start working on the madoka player models mod
honestly ive made so many of these now i shouldnt be long
lunar sedge
first of all, this place is an absolute nightmare for Lethal anomalies players 💀
lunar sedge
but yeah the skybox looks really clean on this moon as expected
distant shoal
oh cool so its like a global post processing
lunar sedge
But the ceiling is effectively preventing people to see Majora, but thats ok you dont need to change it if this was your original idea to have it in a box
lunar sedge
what are those
Towers that go ⛈️ bzz bzz
distant shoal
yea its intended to be like that as the area its based off is meant to be boxed in
lunar sedge
No problem
As for the interior maybe it could be nice to add some elevation ? Of course you can do whatever you want, im just recommending stuff, the visuals are alone very good
distant shoal
gonna start working on the madoka player models mod
these models look a lot better than i expected ngl
distant shoal
As for the interior maybe it could be nice to add some elevation ? Of course you...
i agree! thats the plan
i want to make use of the high tables
likely for a fire exit, story log, or just more area to traverse
or all of the above
lunar sedge
anyways, Ggs for the work!
distant shoal
thank you!
distant shoal
ugh i hate rigging skirts
distant shoal
its crazy to me how poorly optimized 99% of player model mods are

How's it looking so far? Any glaring bugs?
final haven
I found some issue where I can't access the store with the mod enabled
I can screen the log in a little bit or send a log
I'm sure its a conflict with something else
last geyser
any idea why the moon/interior mod would be messing with my quota amount and days remaining?
along with setting starting weather on a new save to dustclouds? It's definitely this mod doing it.
also just checked and i cant access the store with this mod either
also sets the starting moon to assurance, just noticed.
distant shoal
also sets the starting moon to assurance, just noticed.
It.... What...? Huh????
If I were to guess maybe something on save start is erroring out so it's defaulting to some strange defaults zeekerss set if it errors out
If someone can provide logs I'll take a look when I get home from work
slender horizon
didn't have those issues with the weather or the store for now, I should have a multiplayer run tonight or tomorrow so I'll be on the lookout for weirdstuff happening
for the quota and day left doing weird stuff it can happen when the moon timer don't have the default value
one of the moons I use had a 0.75 day speed multiplier and it usually caused 2 days to pass on one shift. changing the value or using the moon day speed patcher can solve the issue
However this moon has the default value so it might be something else
distant shoal
Yeah I haven't touched any of the time values
Though I have deleted the sun itself
I don't think that'd be the issue though
slender horizon
any idea why the moon/interior mod would be messing with my quota amount and day...
also dustclouds is a vanilla weather (doing nothing aside from some very light dust clouds, thx captain obvious, think of harmless foggy) and isn't shown on the terminal unless you use a mod like weather registry
slender horizon
I don't think that'd be the issue though
would be bonkers if somehow removing the sun made those bugs XD
distant shoal
Yeah I don't even have it set as a possible weather on the moon is what's strange
So my guess is some bug or error is overriding everything
Or those are the defaults and the code that sets it to the right moon, weather, etc is being bonked
The latter is what I assume, as if you run LC without specifying a moon it autos to assurance
What I don't. Understand though is what could cause a bug to that degree
It's not like I'm modifying how the game functions itself
slender horizon
It's probably a conflict with another mod for Phoenix and Tru
Or I was just lucky to avoid those issues when trying out alone 🤣
I'll let you know if something weird happens when doing multiplayer !
slender horizon
and of course I will warn them about the item on the moon... after they mess with it obviously
distant shoal
Nevermind! The power is out for the 4th time this month so there goes any chance of fixing anything
Now i wait 💀
slender horizon
Can confirm we had no issues with the store or day skipped during our sessions
The item on the moon was received warmly by my now former friends 🤣
The only issue that nothing can be done about is that you must be inside the ship when leaving, otherwise the ceiling/wall will push you 🥲
And a small review from the buddies, the interior feel a bit empty, especially the main entrance area, interior way too big and not many scraps to be found (could just be bad luck), and there are barely any items in the second area (where you can fall), the turrets are the biggest threat there, you can barely see them and they can take you down from very far.
Two times we had items spawning out of reach in one of the corner of the room with all the flying bottles.
Just to give the first impressions, and yes I told them it was work in progress afterwards, telling it was from the same person who did Tartarus was enough to reach a general "must try again"
distant shoal
Can confirm we had no issues with the store or day skipped during our sessions
T...
fantastic feadback, thank you! the loot i can def adjust, i left it at default values, the loot spread i cant do much about as i made it as equal as i could by distributing an equal amount of loot spawn objects per tile (more on big tiles) the turrets are a good shout to remove, i didnt think of that.. theyd be awful on those long stretches of hallway
ooh yeah the btotles issue would be navmesh i forgot to block out
the ship clipping through i can actually fix!
supposedly atleast
in LLL theres a section for custom ship arrive/leave anims
so i plan on figuring that out soon
final haven
ill need the logs on that one
screen of error when trying to access store in terminal and full log
distant shoal

awesome 👍 will mess around a bit rn
damn the suit mod gonna surprass this one soon
slender horizon
just having madoka in the title makes it popular faster lmao
distant shoal
that checks out
distant shoal
i dont work tomorrow so i can get some progress done on the interior
and hopefully fix that clipping issue when landing
distant shoal
turns out i wasnt even using dungenplus in the mod this whole time, now the generation is different by having 2 main paths
the tilesets themselves are still pretty basic, this will be improved over time
turrets no longer spawn in spotted area, fixed the navmesh issues in spotted + bottles room
increased overall scrap slightly, turns out its was a little bit under dine/rend, now its just barely under
ill likely also add another fire exit before this update is out, somewhere up high
distant shoal
slender horizon
cute 💖
distant shoal
ingame
slender horizon
that looks real nice, you made the models yourself in the end ? XD
distant shoal
yeah felt thatd be easiest
the hair meshes for both are from PSVita models, same ones used in the madoka player model mod
textures are.. well, the scuffed part lol
theyre just drawn by me in photoshop
but due to the low resolution and ingame filters they dont look too noticable
its also meant to be a plush anyways so they look fine
i really didnt want to rely on my "modeling skills" tho 😭 im trying to make a new tile with a pit in the middle but i got these weird stretches on the walls cuz idk what im doing
doesnt look that noticable actually
hollow magnet
that's my goat right there!!!!
hollow magnet
doesnt look that noticable actually
yeee esp with ingame post processing it won't be super noticeable
distant shoal
messing around with tileset atm
im trying out having only room tiles on cream area, no hallways
cone will be more hallway forcused and cream is lots of whole rooms
i wanna try and make it feel less impossible to navigate, and make each area feel a little more different
one of the main problems with navigating is its hard to make mental notes of where you are without landmarks of sorts
vanilla interiors you can make a mental note "ah yea that direction is the apparatus room, the other way is that huge room, and past that is the server room"
here a lot of tiles are just "uhhh that way is a hallway, the other way is a hallway, past that is a splitting hallway that goes into two hallways"
this is a landmark though, you can mentally point that out from other rooms
distant shoal
this hallway now has a chance for each direction to become a pit (each direction individually is a 50/50)
yes they can be traversed while holding some heavy stuff
and yes you can just walk right through the walls because i forgot to add colliders like a silly

Since you are using assets from an old game it's understandable
But adding more rooms/pits and stuff to get more variety like you are doing now is really good, both from the fun value while playing and having an easir time knowing where to go next and/or go back

yeah i agree, i could settle for understandable but i have the ability to do more than that
im not fully sure what to do with some of the tiles yet though 🤔

was there some interesting layouts you could replicate or expand on in the PSP game ?
distant shoal
nope!
the interior already has more than the PSP game did
(this segment in the game was like 5 minutes long)
ok well not 5 minutes... but like
about 10
there was 2 areas, the waffle cone like area, and the spotted area
the spotted area originally had a different skybox but with this tile system it would look weird
so i opted for what looks like endless void
the only internal objects that differentiated the tiles were those little props here and there
and there was overall less tiles
(makes sense cuz youll only be in there for like 10 minutes anyways)
i cant really use assets from the other stages either as theyre just far too different
etc

tbf dungeon crawler games don't have very varied layouts in general, sometimes there are interesting gimmicks or big rooms tho
and yeah the other ones don't work for charlotte's labyrinth for sure x_x

gonna do some more testing with QB to see if i can get him working tomorrow
and then upload the update
