TheDarkPrince Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) A GOTHIC EXPERIENCE INTO THE LORE OF SKYRIMVALLEY OF MINES - THE COLONYRecruitment and INFO post http://i.minus.com/jJUxehi0kgYyy.jpg War, war never changes... Taken from the misery of the life of a scum you are just SCUM. There's nothing left, you got caught. What's left? Death? No, death would surely be a better choice... The Colony. Sent to the Valley of Mines to send minerals to the Empire because of a war that you don't care about, not anymore at least. Nothing's left of you, not a weapon, not a piece of gold, not an armor; you are wearing the rugs of a convicted. Welcome to the colony, prisoner. Gothic, Valley of Mines - The colony is a landmass/storybased quest mod. It will add an entire new experience that you, as player, will gladly play. New Treasures, new armors and weapons with custom models, new quests and NPCs that you will begin to love (or to hate). Come and experience a world you may have never seen before! A perfect MIX! The Lore of SKYRIM and of the TES series taken into the world of GOTHIC! Obviously, a lot of things will be changed from the original game that GOTHIC was so that the LORE of SKYRIM may fit completly but trust me, you want to have it at all costs! In the meanwhile, take a look at the screenshots (both here and on our FB page we have a total of 180 screenshots already) and feel free to watch a few videos of the original GOTHIC to learn something more about this mod from a game that had NPCs AI and Behaviour 10 years before SKYRIM did! Something great is waiting for you!!! DON'T MISS IT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eRUo7qY_J8&feature=related Have you ever wanted to join a team, make new friends and become part of a project that is as big as anything you've ever imagined? Now you can! This project, by the name of VALLEY OF MINES - THE COLONY was inspired by the great old game "GOTHIC" that was published (along with his future titles) by Pyranha-Bytes. You may have heard of this game before, so you may aswell know how the graphic of that game was great at the times! Well, let's just say now, in 2012, it's not anymore! Still, Gothic's a great game and you can play it like 2000 times without ever annoying youself! This is where the VOMTeam comes in! RECREATING THE WHOLE GOTHIC EXPERIENCE, BOTH IN WORLD AND QUESTS, THAT IS OUR GOAL! Truth is, for now the VOMTeam is a "one person team" only, because I didn't have the luck of finding enought people that were interested in joining this project, so I might aswell add some INFO about the current % that was done of the world itself. PERCENTAGES New Camp 40%Old Camp 80%Swamp Camp 25% Lands 100%Trees and Plants 50%Furnitures and Clutters 15% Effects 5%Sounds and Music 0%Quests, NPCs, Behaviors, Radiants 0% Specific Places 100% done (not counting furniture, clutter and such, just exterior design)Xardas TowerXardas Sunken TowersOrc CampOrc TemplesOrc CemeteryAbandoned Towers (10/10)Abandoned MinesRandom Workers/Hunters CampsSect Camp TempleFocus Stones SPOTS (5/5)Forests (3/3)Beach with sunken boatsMythical ForestRuined ChurchNew Camp FARMSExchange PointOther things...

donker316 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I am tracking this mod for sure. I would help but I only have one mod and I am still a novice with the CK. Keep up the great work, and love the new screens shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkPrince Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thank you Donker316, I just hope I'll find somebody else to help me with this big project cause I am not able to do this all alone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkPrince Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Let's advertise a bit more, it was lost already! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviloMEN Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Looks nice from the pictures; you might want to consider putting them in the same thread, just saying. Is the mod planned to be a contiguous part of the Skyrim world, or a separate world space, or a total conversion mod? I'm loving the look either way. Good work so far. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkPrince Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Even tho the story of "GOTHIC" doesn't exactly "fill" with the Elder scrolls world I was thinking about something like this: "You start as a prisoner in every TES game, so what makes it impossible to become a prisoner again and be sent to a prisoner locked canyon?" The game (at least for the basic idea) will start as a normal SKYRIM. After that, I was thinking about it as : "If you are caught with a bounty higher than xxxxxx (5000? 10000? more?) you will be sent to the Valley of Mines to stay there forever as convicted and no one will ever want to see you again!" So even tho the LORE is not exactly filling itself alone I could manage a few ways to let them be together but not in the same worldspace of Skyrim, VOM has a different worldspace ofc! Any other questions? :) And Thank for the suggestion about screenies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkPrince Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Still recruiting here! Anyone (even with low experience) is welcome! The most needed thing right now is someone who can do a DEBUG because I encountered something that it's preventing the .esp from starting INGAME! The CK loads fine, really! Problem goes when you try to load a clean save or start a new game! In the first case it crashes in the second it stays on the "Imperial Steel Dragon" screen without anything!

donker316 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Send me the esp if you want and i'll take a look at it. You have it set with an esm as well I imagine? Well anyway I'll take a look and see what the problem might be but no promises. Like I said earlier i'm still a novice. P.S. I would suggest calling this mod Gothic or Gothic - Valley of Mines cause people will see the Gothic right off the bat and be interested. Seeing Valley of Mines might not do the same cause it my not hit them that it's from the Gothic series. Just saying lol. Good luck and im still tracking!
