What in the World - Too Clean for Chaos

 Lately I've been thinking about terrains, because it'd be cool to replace some of the polished ones with so-called rough XPZ versions. Now many are still waiting at the starting point, and I also would like to remodel a few tiles.

Partly I think it'd be a waste of work to rough up intact tiles in a sexy way or something. Technically speaking, a 8-bit 16x16 palette isn't the most ideal for messy styling with endless color variations. Sometimes you have to just give up or simplify and settle for compromises in the long run anyway. So it's also practical to leave the original designs with their models and colors as a reminder of the vanilla world.

Master of the Blog - You Shall Not Login

 More than two years ago (around the time of Peasantz actually) someone sensitive reported the blog for pixel titties - or at least that's how it happened in my head, but may have been work of AI search or just plain trolling, whatever.

Of course I knew it would eventually happen; already had a Report on the blog, so I was kinda 'asking for it'. This silly and selfish shithole was/is definitely unsuitable for kids but with quite mild adult content behind a warning. Things went the way they did and now it's blocked from those who won't sign up with Google.

I'm considering taking my blog with me in HTML if I find a good enough alternative, but then the images have to be imported separately and up'n'download organized differently and I'm so damn lazy.

Maybe, and indeed maybe.

Makes You Think - Sooner or Later

An explanation of what the submod has been going through over time and what it is now

 Especially in the beginning I used XPZ to my advantage when I was learning OXCE-based modding and pixel art in general, so stuff were added to the submod that I didn't directly intend for Piratez (in terms of style and lore) but for the whole community - I just didn't know a better way to store and share them then.

If I were to start now, I'd do generic sprites to the vanilla palette and only the specially targeted ones to XPZ. I messed up at the beginning when I didn't care to understand, but there was a lot going on at that time and I tried to keep up as best I could.

So, now with hindsight I decided to split the submod into two different packages:

Stuffiez
Includes all pirate style mods and remodels,
also polished and modified terrain assets

Stuffiez - Realistic Weapon Models  [New]
A bunch of quite common handguns etc
that I made years ago as practice moved here

Now that the main folder is gone, you need to download the zip file [and either continue with less modded items or add new submod for the experience via the Mods menu].

Thank you for reading :)

ps. Most of my sprites use XPZ palettes, so the damage is pretty much done and they should be remapped and edited back to vanilla with a good program if ever used in such a OXC mod.
