All Your Hideout Are Belong To Us

Nightcity69 - Street of Road Rash

 Modding assets ftw! I have now walked into this futuristic Hell on Earth in baby steps via quite boring and generic route/choice. My first custom OpenXcom terrain-tileset eva shall be called Nightcity69 and remembered as a HUGE megalopolis project with skyscrapers and shit. You gotta start from somewhere, eh? So first in line was a basic street set to be used as floor - the rock bottom connecting all together, then maybe some multifloor buildings will follow.

NC69_STREET terrain set contains only basic tiles, 40 of them, to build streets with lamps and pavings, crosswalks around crossroads with traffic lights and parking lots covered with roadblocks made of concrete. Of course there should be more objects to give units a feel of protection. Trash cans! Yes, when a bad guy shoots at you something smaller than a rocket, take cover behind a trash can. That's a survival tactic of urban warfare rule 41.

I can’t say the set is perfect and ready-out-of-the-box. I haven’t tested the MCD in the battlescape and even if I had, the modder should anyhow adjust (now directional) values, placements and maybe even colors to fit his/her own mod.

...Nightcity69 is no longer downloadable

Modified Unit Images - Familysprite

 First Piratez inventory image edits. Tried my best to keep the original designs, so I concentrated just on polishing and adding some/more details. There might be one or two extra colors. Made these also as Bootypedia images.

Units of Mayhem - Balls on the Ground

 DIY lore: Balling players fight in small teams, playing their own violent tactical sport events here and there. Many say that they are overly-competitive. Don’t take them too seriously, they say, you don’t have to be a fan of balling, it’s just for sport.

But once a year balling teams gather to battle for the League of Wrecking Balls final match. The winner gains control over their main area - Stools.

Good maps always contains at least one special support unit along the main mob, so the baller side could have giant mascots. The Coach should be their officer.

(Somebody should draw sporty shorts under the penis cup protector for the final version)

Stuffiez - nice cute things

 Submodding started because I was eager to learn pixel art at real project level. Before OpenXcom I had only done some small sprites for my original Jagged Alliance -95 inspired top-down indie game (now canceled)

OpenXcom/forum has these quiet topics HERE+HERE for my submod projects. Polished sprites which went into the XPZ can be found only from this blog.

ATM I'm working on a new kind of colorful saturday morning cartoons style assets for a custom campaign mod - and hopefully will get to show them someday 👍
