I'm thinking of creating a new total mod for DROD AE. It's gonna be like DRODIS, but it's no where near finished, and I don't have a name yet. I was thinking Cyber-mod, but that's a bit of a pants name. I'll bump this topic when I finish it so you can see it. I've done about three styles and have all the custom music and stuff sorted.

Okay, now lets watch while Banjooie's post gets modded up mysteriously because he began with a "..."!

I would love to see a full AE mod.

What can I say?

Anyway: Best pre-announcement this season, I say.

Aha! I was wondering if your avatar has anything to do with Squishy Pink Things!

I've only got four styles complete at the present, but I'll try and get hold of a demo tonight. I would post it now, but I am using a different computer from the rest of the week.

Here's the first four styles. Just follow the instructions on the folder and run AE. Any comments are welcome, albeit a wonky pixel or whether the music needs changing.

Well, you're waiting for people who play AE.

This may take a while.

I play AE. I haven't used your demo mod yet, but by looking at the folder:
Music: I liked the music. I give it a 9/10.
Background: It looked okay I guess. 7/10.
Bolts: Erm. Nothing there? Just gray squares. Not scoring this.
GeneralTiles: The doors look a bit.. not-door-like. 6.5/10.
Style1Tiles: I like the walls. It gives you that feeling of 'antique game'. 8.5/10.
Style2Tiles: I like the floor colors. 7/10.
Style3Tiles: Mario! 8.5/10.
Style4Tiles: A bit dark. 6.5/10.
Title: I like what you added. 8/10.

So far, its a pretty good mod. Can't wait for more!

Keep posting,

Thanks for the feedback Jeremy. A few nots in reply.

I've changed the background so the text shows up better, without all the white stuff around it.

I originally wanted to feel like Webfoot DROD, because sometimes, they mdidn't show up. I will fix this in the next version.

I'll add a bit more detail to fix this.

Surely dungeons were meant to be dark, dingy places. This style was set around that idea.

UrAvgAzn wrote:

Have also changed this.

Forgot to add that I love what you've done to the trapdoors! In fact, I'm going to start on a new mod right now.

Here's the next version. I haven't really done much to it, except edit the background image and add style5. Again, those who play AE, please tell me what you think.

Whatever happened to this idea? I really liked the sound of a new full AE mod, and I'm wondering what happened to it.

Keep posting,

Edit: Post #1000, friends.

I had actually forgotten about it. I'll carry on working on it here and there when I get time to. Thanks for reminding me about it.

Yay! Nice to see you forgot about it, rather than abandoned it. Thank you, Richard!
