Inventor's Guild Theoreticians

Some people were asking for a more Victorian, mad-scientist type mechanist. Here's a guy that is more scientist than engineer. I've made him about as Victorian as I'm comfortable with. :) Ideally I'd like to see both versions modeled.

 

I'm imagining the coat as a pale colour, like a lab coat, heavily stained. Making it black would start to look too much like the Founders. His hair is prematurely grey, long, and tied back with ribbons.

I wouldn't call it Victorian style at all, I thought it was Beethoven at first glance -but someone has hacked a playable piano into the engine already, so it's all good.

But yes, I like these more than the others. More of a Dr. Frankenstein look about them.

Ren: I think we should have both versions. One is a hands-on engineer type and this one is more of a mad-scientist.

 

Odd: I was assuming we meant 1800s when we talk about a Victorian flavour, pretty much everything in there is from that period (I think it's the hair that creates the Beethovan impression, but that's also early 1800s).

 

I like the fact that these guys could also double as some kind of Cradle-inspired surgeons. :)

:o Holy crap that's an awesome concept. I totally see him sitting at a drafting table, drawing up the next big metal bot. I might have to model this guy before the ordinary town's folk :lol:

I'm going to live forever, or die trying.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
