The IkZen, Ancient Violet Crystalline Aliens 2.5 POLISHING UPDATE

Description
REQUIREMENTS: Xbawks Character Extender or similar extension
Optional Improvements: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2424422488&searchtext=Ik%5CZen

"Hailing from a desert planet hollowed with caves and full of bioluminescent jungles, and natural bio-crystals that were hard as diamond, The Ik'zen are an advanced species whose tech is based mainly from the crystals that grew in abundance on their planet. Their horns act as antennae, full of energy that can be transferred like data for communication."

"You are an elder member of a rare species from the ends of the universe.
Your species is endangered but has been for thousands of years. But, that being said,
your kind are mostly impervious to death--All that is required is for you to transmit your
energy to the console AI of your ship. You have joined the protectorate upon the recent
discovery of earth, and have vowed to fight the evil chaotic force that destroyed your
own homeworld and Earth alike. Onward shall you continue in the search of a way to end this destructive
force's power once and for all"

The Mysterious Violet Aliens are still going strong! I've done a bit of polishing and added their custom ship AI graphic design now, as well as some fixes with voices for crewmembers and some other minor adjustments. No more busted Aegisalt bow start because i felt like that was extreme, but you still get a cupid's bow to spread the love with, because i love yall. <3

The uniquely-colored hairstyles could probably just be left as is. Less thinking.
Z'uldiss 16 Mar, 2021 @ 5:22pm 
Personally what I'd suggest is having hair and eye color tied together. First the hair changes, then the eyes cycle through their colors, then it'd go to the next hair color and repeat.

@Z'uldiss And on another note-- it would be varient shades of grey or silver i'd make the options, though the colored hairstyles might not have other options tbh. But yeah i have a lot to try to figure out so this project has been on the back burner. Im glad you like the mod however, and definitely let me know if it goes outdated/has issues with game updates. I'll do my best to atleast update and make it work again.

@Z'uldiss heya my development of this mod has been on somewhat of a hiatus because i am a very amateur code-knowledge having person and i can't figure out how to expand on it. xC The hair is normally varients of grey/silver/black though for this species with a few exceptions. but if i knew how to add an option to give the hair different colors, it would be like that. xD
Z'uldiss 15 Mar, 2021 @ 12:58pm 
🤔So I guess this species is meant to always have white/silver hair?

...

Ah, I mean, other than certain hairstyles I'm seeing.

And yes, good luck with your work.

Might I suggest an idea? Weapons that feel like spells... unless magic isn't really a focus here. I did find though that some items, when the tool is invisible in-hand (like, say, quiqksilver's Gravity Wand idea), make for a fun idea for magic. There could also be chargeable fireballs and the like.

...

Also I did a thing for this.

I want to try this. I had a form once, which was a type of winged demon, and though vampires are neat (and I still use that mod and will have one as a crewmember), I can't recreate that form correctly with them.

Of course this one will be a crewmember too (shoggoth here), but I've had an interest in this species since I saw it the first time.

I hope they live a long while.

I apologise for their hiatus but i've learned a little bit more since i had them posted last. I appreciate those of you who have used them in the past and pointed out bugs to, as well as any who might in the future as well! I plan on making more original art assets for them too but it's definitely a process and takes inspiration. xD

They return!
...again!
