JNR (Civ Modding)

😢

Statecraft is finally out! Bringing Civ IV style policies to Civ VI but with more categories, choices, and extra features. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Thought it'd be neat for flavor to give policies some images. Not an artist myself and thus having to rely on using existing artwork, I really underestimated how little 174x78px is to get a scene across without custom-made stylized pixel art. Oh, and I want color-theming, too... Labor policies:

Environmental storytelling, UI edition: Normally, my guide for these civ-specific policy names is to only do them if there's a distinct local expression of the concept, not just translations. Had to do an exception for one civ though because the idea was just too funny...

nothing but respect for MY Diggers

optimist: the glass is half full pessimist: the glass is half empty Civ VI modder: the glass is sufficiently large to hold the official water but they still should have made it bigger so it is able to hold all the water I want to pour in on top Happy "asset limit is fixed" season, people! :)

ah fuck I’ve just realized I’ve not got myself a piece of specific art from Civ, which is something I try to do for all the games I’ve worked on. recs for artists who can do similar to Civ 6 portrait style specifically? I know exactly what I want for this haha

"Civ has lots of diversity" The diversity:

Are you interested in Civ VII, in game design, and seeing unreasonably long wall of text posts *not* generated by AI? Then I might have something for you, my thoughts on how Civ VII could improve beyond "RETVRN TO V / VII" but by actually embracing its innovations: old.reddit.com/r/civ/commen...

Cooking some Civ VI stuff again

This is unfortunately also how I've been feeling about browsing mods lately. The AI "aesthetic" is so off-putting, no matter the quality of what content is behind it. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Unironically the first thing to learn for modding civ - everything is a .txt in disguise.

Me when I release my next mod

Loved making this mod, and I am already deeply invested in adding some interesting events for each Tycoon for a 2.0 update. The structure of civ uniques in Civ VII just allows infusing them with so much flavor, one of my favorite parts of the game. old.reddit.com/r/civ/commen...

Getting ready for the grand opening of the Civ VII Steam Workshop by making thumbnails

My "I don't make political statements" hat has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my hat.

I have about 14 spreadsheets where I kept reinventing what became my 6T tech tree. The process itself helped me get through some rough days, lol. At least once a month I feel like writing down all world wonders and group them. It's so therapeutic I should start billing my health insurance for it.

Ok long ages setting makes it quite fun but is probably not that balanced. But who'd have thought that I'd end up warmongering in Civ... Really fun system this time around. I even enjoyed Exploration as a whole due to being able to focus more on my own continent as Songhai.

Turns out that when the game asks "which city?" and you say "the player", it gets mad. Issue is fixed, just need to test if all effects work as intended. Then hopefully have this coming soon. Bonus points for anyone who knows all three references made in the thumbnail.

Hello darkness my old friend

New Release: Better Bridges Makes bridges buildable in towns, always functional, and automatically upgrading. Download here: forums.civfanatics.com/resources/be...

New Release: Town Focus Buildings Purchase more advanced buildings in your towns based on the focus chosen. Download here: forums.civfanatics.com/resources/to...

Filling out my building sheets with pics from my Mughal game, I didn't even see the Schoolhouse at first - it's one of the few modern buildings where the whole model is adjusted for a style instead of just recoloring the same model.

Was fun to try resetting your mind over and over and thinking of a completely different domain. 🟩 🟩🟩 🟧🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Percentile: 99.83 datcreativity.com

First two Civ VII mods in testing! One just fixes a bunch of errors among the Warehouse buildings. The other goes further and makes Warehouse buildings non-ageless. Instead, their bonuses are granted automatically by the City Hall in later ages and they can be overbuilt safely.

First proper mod: making warehouses overbuildable (without yield loss) so modern cities don't have ancient Granaries in their downtown anymore.
