[DEVBLOG#188] New storyteller art for a new mod! (Patreon)

Hello folks and welcome!

This is a bit different: as this devblog is not about a mod that's being developed by Vanilla Expanded. Instead, I'm helping out Kikohi and Isorex (two VE members) on their own endeavour, a brand new mod called RimSpace. 

I don't know much about their mod, but what I know is that it's meant to allow you to travel between planets, moons and systems, building new bases on different planets that may or may not sustain life!

This is not going to be an SoS2 rip off. Instead, the focus is on exploring alien planets, and there is no ship-building like in Save Our Ship.

Guys approached me with a request for the background image and a storyteller art, so I did my best to convey what the mod is about through art.

BUT OSKAR, THIS IS NOT VE, WHY DO YOU POST IT?

Well because it's my Patreon and I made this art, and I want to use this Patreon as a platform to express myself and what I do.

So, let's take a look at the background image (which is already available in Vanilla Backgrounds Expanded, it's called Exploration).

Then, I also made a storyteller art based on no other than Isorex. I present to you, Isorex Interstellar!

I don't know what this storyteller might do, so don't ask me. 

It was quite tricky drawing it - we wanted it to keep the RimWorld art style, but also show how a spacer-tech space suit could look like. There is a lot of texture and shading on the armor plate, as well as on the helmet visor. I think I did a pretty good job overall.

This is how it looks in the final image. I can't wait to hear more about the mod myself. All I know is that the guys are using the Pipe network made by Kikohi to add oxygen as a new resource, which might come in handy on desolate, empty worlds you will colonize!

As for the other mods we're working on: Genetic Rim launches tomorrow. We're also hard at work on Psycasts Expanded which actually moved in priority queue - more about you will find out when we drop the Roadmap for May.

The SoS2 retexture is 95% complete so that should be entering testing in a moment too. VFE-Pirates update is also almost finished, just a few bugs to iron out!

I will catch you all very soon!
