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.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
