when do you think this mod will be done

[Sindhi]

Yogoda is still doing work with Minecraft, until April. Nightmareshadow and I are working on the story and he is helping with puzzles and about to write a full script. We want to have real voices instead of words in our mod... originally Yogoda split the mod into two parts, part one and then the full game, so we could complete part one and release it sooner, so that will probably happen by this summer...

[willowfish]

cant wait!!!!!!
everything looks amazing especialy the level design
which version of aquaria are you going to release it in? i only have 1.03

[Sindhi]

I think it will work in your version; I will see which version we have. I think the mods work in any version; Alec will have to correct me if I'm wrong...I worked on touching up the dancing goddess tree today, where Naija meets a Druniad and receives a special gift...

[willowfish]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just finished looking at all 101 pics, this mod looks amazing great job i love the crystal tree and the dancing lady tree
so in this mod, naja can walk??

[Sindhi]

Thank you for your praise. Yes, in the forest maps Naija can walk, run and climb, although that last part needs a bit of work.

 Here's a new pic. We had this rock blocking the convergence of three fish form tunnels in the Cave Passage, and Nightmareshadow suggested a greedy creature instead so we could do a puzzle.  I decided to do a take on Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors; this is our first humorous cartoonish character:

That's an amazing character you've created. Even in a still shot, it has loads of personality.

[Alphasoldier]

Haha, oh wow... That looks amazing.

It's like a huge blue cauliflower with a face, epic.

[Sindhi]

Thanks, guys... I was hesitant to make something so cartoonish and silly, but then... it's a game, and we are here to play... so yahoo for silliness...Yes, Alpha, sort of like those winter purple cabbages, only one that eats...so the player must figure out what it eats ("Feed me, Seymour!") to get past him... hopefully you will guess right before you run out of food...

[willowfish]

this is going to be an awesome mod

[Sindhi]

Thanks, Willowfish! Hey, forgot to add the tentacles/roots, see above.

[willowfish]

love that!!!!
are you taking ideas

[Sindhi]

Sure...changed him again...did more highlighting on the leaves...

[willowfish]

i think cats would be interesting to include in this mod

[Sindhi]

Well, we could add an ocelot or other big cat to the forest maps... they are kinda bare of critters at this point. And my cat, Sebastian, the King of Cats, would certainly approve...maybe a mountain lion for the pine-tree forests and an ocelot for the Pandora forest (secret garden). The second forest has killer mosquitoes that buzz horribly and get bigger as you walk along... the Pandora forest has a lemur and Quetzal birds and butterflies; that's it... of course, Joel would have to do the animation, which is the majority of the work... I will wait until April to ask him. He changed my lemur so he could use the monkey script and he lost a lot of cuteness IMO...both versions are on our photobucket site.

Messed with the greedy mini-boss, Percy,  again...changed the hue and saturation on the leaves and added some roots coming from behind his head, and finished a closed mouth and half-closed mouth for the head, for animation...and Nightmareshadow and I are collaborating on some clever dialogue to help you figure out what to feed him...we have a preliminary script with dialogue almost done now. Maybe I will try a mountain lion for the forest next...
