Barony 20XX v1.0 (Total Conversion)

Barony 20XX is a total conversion mod for Barony - New books, models, sounds, icons, music, and more! Currently the content goes as far as completely converting everything in the initial release of the game, so hell and the crystal mines haven't been replaced just yet, however a lot of the content that carries over into a new game and early game loot tables has been replaced for consistency, though you will notice some items (like Quivers) from newer patches are missing. These will be implemented eventually!

Our goal is to recontextualise the setting of Barony, while taking care to keep the experience as close to vanilla as possible - be it the books, the items, or the nomenclature - we're hoping this mod can be seen as an alternative skin for the base game for those who prefer Cyberpunk to Fantasy rather than a must-have replacement.

This has been 2 years in the making, and we at Studio Dreamlance truly hope you enjoy it. Thank you!

Once, there was a great city of glass and steel.

For many years this city stood as a monument to industry and commerce,
its citizens wanting for nothing.

That was, until Wallace Herx took control of the corporations.

Ruthless and uncaring, Herx saw value only in the bottom line,
Profit, no matter the cost.

Conditions for the workers decreased ever more drastically, miring the city in crime,
drug abuse, and poverty. With wages decreasing and property prices inflating,
those who could not afford the luxury of space in this new metropolis were priced out into the slums.

Herx, rich beyond compare, retreated to the summit of his great skyscraper,
which towers menacingly over the city. His fortune, however, did not go unnoticed by envious eyes.
A hit was put out on Herx by an unknown party, promising their share of the spoils to any who could
reach and kill him. But a maddening Herx only fortified his redoubt, hiding away behind layers of the
best security money could buy. Nobody has seen him in years.

And the city around him fell into decay. Grand towers imposing over the hungry masses
below - their wealthy occupants blissfully ignorant of the numbing poverty below.

And though many have tried and failed, they say that you too could attain
the vast wealth of those above, if only you can reach the top.

• A full recontextualisation of the original Barony story. Through filler text and books, the futuristic setting will be explained to you much as the original story was presented, while keeping themes and the tone accurate to the original
  
• Full graphical redesign! Tiles, models, icons, UI, and more!
  
• New soundtrack, featuring Synthwave and Industrial tracks
  
• New sound effects
  
• A brand new bestiary of robotic enemies to best on your way to assassinating Wallace Herx
  
• Fully rewritten books
  
• Completely rewritten terminology - all text now serves to immerse you in the Cyberpunk world!
  
• Almost 1:1 map design with vanilla Barony, only changing floors if they would otherwise ruin immersion

Asset swapping is no longer a requirement - just subscribing should install the mod just fine!

We are an ever-expanding group of volunteer game developers and modders, slowly putting together a multitude of projects in our spare time with the hope we can one day make the dream of a full-time game studio a reality.

• Rare spawn minbosses are not renamed
  
• Certain assets need to be swapped out manually
  
• Some icons are a bit too dark to see clearly in the inventory. This may need a rethink on how 20XX icons are designed.
  
• Content from later versions (hell, crystal caverns) still remaining
  
• No "victory" screen, as it ties in with content that hasn't been added yet
  
• A lot of the models were made 2 years ago when I had 0 voxel experience. Lots has been learned since then, and there's room for improvement across the board (lots of recolours and weird voxelshop hackiness)
  
• Spell names unfortunately cannot be changed
