[REQ] Start in the 70s [Concepts]

Hello, I want to create a mod called start in the 70s.

These are things that I want to get in the mod.

You start right before the release of the Nagnavos Journey (Magnavox Odyssey).

3 new consoles:

Nagnavos Journey (Y1)
Matari 2600 (Y5)
Nagnavos Journey2 (Y6)

1 new computer

Govodore P.A.T. (Y5)

Events:

Event that announces the PC (Y10) and the Govodore 64 (Y11).

Event that announces the industry crash, somewhere in this year (Y11)

Custom Researches:

Graphics:

-1-bit graphics (Unlocks when nagnavos journey releases)
-2-bit graphics.(unlocks when matari 2600 releases)
-2D graphics V1 (4-bit graphics) (unlocks when pc releases, also unlocks custom game engine)
-2D graphics V2 (8-bit graphics)
-2D graphics V3 (16-bit graphics)

Engine:

Only for 2D graphics:

-Up-view or Flip-Screen (unlocks when matari 2600 releases)
-Side-scroll (unlocks when TES releases)

Only for 3D graphics:

-First Person View
-Second Person View
-Third Person View

Gameplay:

-Minimap

Sound:

-Basic Sounds (Y5, when Matari 2600 releases.)

Things to add to make sure no errors are in the mod:

Make sure all platforms of the game and the events (not from the mod) are about 10-12 years after its original release date to have an effect that it’s in the 70s not in the 80s.

(THIS WILL CAUSE INCOMPATIBILTY ISSUES WITH OTHER MODS! MODDERS WILL HAVE TO RELEASE A COMPATIBLE VERSION FOR THIS TO WORK WITH THE MOD!)


To-Do List (by priority):

1. Make all platforms and events 10-12 years later.
2. Create events and the platforms.
3. Add researches.
4. Make textures.
5. Delete all the pesky bugs.
6. Polish.

I would like to receive some feedback from the modders and even the developers. :slight_smile:

Do you think this is possible?

probably

I think you have to just delay all the consoles for a few years for the mod to work. It may cause incompatibility issues with other mods.

yeah, but it sounds possible.

Added more concepts!

Unfortunately I can’t help modding-wise, but I’d like to say this sounds awesome!!!

Thanks!

Great idea ! let’s hope someone can make mod lol :smiley:

This sounds like a great idea…
Someone please make this happen! :smiley:

added more concepts

sounds really good I hope someone can make it work :smile:

if no ones working on it when i develop my mod up a but i might do it, but somebody else will probably do a much better job if i don’t do it.

I just want to team up with someone. I don’t like that someone will be here and steal all my ideas without crediting. If you have a lot of JavaScript knowledge we could team up.

I would love to help you, but I’m still busy making my updated. Once I’m done with that and have some time I can help if you want ^^

urm, i’m not the best person to team up with, but i could manage it.

I think I can wait for @DzjengisKhan since he made the custom researches in the mod API.

*fixed

you were probably right about this, unless you make the mod in a way that the new platforms are only added to the game if you have the 50 years game length selected
