I just got an idea today, but I’m not making another thread, post or whatever because the essence of the idea is still here.
I have been enjoying games that came from here, and I’d like to provide something for this community.
And I remembered that the tModLoader just got launched a few months ago, I did a little research and found out that I could actually do something here; tModLoader uses C# for coding, and mod projects can be used by the IDE of Visual Studio, so it’s perfect for modding because VS can debug in the game.
The first thing I thought it was a mod for the Dryad NPC.
I guess you have already figured out the inspiration; the Mystery Dad’s Dryad
After looking at this post I see now that to make it worth it I don’t have to limit this mod to a single NPC.
First thing I would look up to make is to change the sprites for the Dryad ('cause honestly, she’s one of my favorites).
After that it would be to look the way to make the mechanics of weight gain. That’s another thing to discuss, I guess.
Although, I would need a hand because drawing it’s not something I’m very good at; even if it’s pixel art.
Very interesting idea I look forward to do.
I don’t think I could make it soon because my semester isn’t over yet, I may have some projects for work and because I have to read the documentation for tModLoader (which is not little).
