I plan to start work on a small mod titled what you see above the thread.
As a visual person, I rely on sketches and whatnot, so forgive me if my art makes your eyes bleed.
Oh, spriters and coders are definitely wanted.

It's basically two factions named hereafter as...

The REPTILICUS



And...

The KRALAS EMPIRE




Reptilicus Info: 7 Foot tall "True neutral" saurian race. Prefer peaceful options instead of bloodshed, but will fight when needed. These guys are as tough as steel walls and take quite a lot of punishment to go under. They use Iridium-made weapons.

Kralas Empire: Communist-like "Lawful Chaotic" emperorship. Strives on monies, technology, and overall military power. Employs few unit types as the basic trooper can handle almost any situation. Extremely wealthy and known for their MALR (Multi-Ammunition Loading Rifle).

Weapon Descriptions

=REPTILICUS=

SSW-7B - Single Shot Weapon. Used for emergencies or just plain CQC. Uses Iridium fletchettes/buckshot pellets.
Basilisk SideArm -Semi-auto and burst fire light pistol. Good for a pinch.
C.L.A.W. - Carbine/Light Assault Weapon. Carbine and AR mix. Semi-auto to full auto. Quite accurate but slow fire rate.
Cleaver - RIP AND TEAR RIP AND TEAR RIP AND TEAR RIP AND TEAR
C.O.G. - Close Offensives Gun. Fully automatic Shotgun. Can only chamber three rounds due to shell size.
The "Monitor" Venom Rifle - Reptilicus signature weapon. Fires darts coated with Xanthei, a highly lethal poison found on plants on Caesora (Reptilicus Controlled planet?). Can fire explosive globs of it too. Like Napalm.
RazorFang (Almost called the RazorBack) War Shield with obligatory Talon SMG - Imagine a giant portable ram and a heavy variant of the Basilisk.
S.I.R-10c - Standard Issue Rifle. Can use AP and HollowPoint rounds. Quite effective for it's RoF and accuracy.

=KRALAS=
SAR-11 - Squad Automatic Rifle. Standard issue after the MALR went obsolete. High RoF but low accuracy. Can hold 25 rounds.
MALR-M1 - Multi-Ammunition Loader Rifle. Now obsolete weapon that can sometimes be seen on the battlefield. Can use a multitude of round types like HE, Incendiary, EMP, AP, and even acid.
LAR.4KA (Pronounced LARKAFOUR) - Prototype laser weapon. Fires a red beam that can phase through enemies and hit the other poor bastard behind him/her. Medium range.
S.A.M.G. - Squad Automatic Machine Gun. Heavy MG that is best used prone. Can be deployed(?) when prone or near a barricade.
Raptor Revolver - 6-shooter that can tear an arm off at close range. Very slow RoF as the user must regain strength from the kickback.
"Saviour" Medi-Syringe -One time use Emergency Medical Pharmaceutical. Heals about 20 points of HP. Can't stop bleeding unelss charged.
Warrior Blade - STAB STAB STAB.

So, Ideas, questions, suggestions, whatnot are appreciated as this thread will be updated over the course of these days.

Those look very good.

You know, in the case you might need any coding help I can help you.

Oh, yes, please. Any help is greatlyappreciated to help this mod strive. There might be some lua that could come into play, if you might want to try your hand at it. Oh, and thank you for the compliment on my soldiers.

Lua you say?

Ten times better, I like programming lua, it's a good hobby.
In fact, I can help you in ANYTHING that isn't sprite work.

Ho ho, even better! Then I can assure you, there will be plenty of Sparkle Magic™.

Also, I drew some hastily drawn doodles of weapons and whatnot.





OP will be updated later with pics and more accurate descriptions.

Concept art looks great, but I think adding the details of some weapons (like the Venom Rifle) would be a tad complicated.

I hope you can manage to sprite them.

Most of those gun design look very familiar. but i can't really pinpoint where from.

Good looking designs as well.

Looks like a mix of slightly futurized modern designs, and the Monitor looks vaguely similar to the M-8 Avenger from Mass Effect 2.

Overall, reminds me a bit of SnowMonster's Lizard Men. Might be worth talking over merging them somehow, or otherwise co-operating?

Either way, best of luck, and don't be afraid to ask for help!

-Double post snip-

Ah, indeed it does as that was the first thing that appeared in my mind when drawing it. And yes, most designs are variations/transformations that were "futurized" to fit my needs. For instance, the Close Offensives Gun (C.O.G.) was made to look like a bulkier Saiga-12.



The Reptilicus were inspired from Snow's Thunder Thrash Gunner. Thinking about it, asking for his assistance would be a wonderful idea. Thanks for the suggestion, Arcalane.



Understood.


Also Off-Topic: Sparkle Magic

Lolololol Filters

Oh my goodness I love the weapons! lol Looks very nice and it's cool that my lizards are gonna have playmates! Oh how fun lol I can see the blood fly now!

Lol as I said in my PM I'll try to help with sprites.

It would be quite the alliance ( or maybe battle.). Thank you for your help, Snow, I look forward to see what you come up with.

Oh, and thank you, Asklar for helping with coding. Like I said, expect some Lua.

I have some scraps of other things related to the empires which will be uploaded later. I might not want to get them added because they would be useless.

Just a small doubt.

What would you like to get coded with lua? Just to know what you have in mind.

I want to get the MALR-M1 and Venom rifle to work as advertised.

Really, I let those who help me have the freedom to do what they see is right to them. You can suggest what you like to add to make the weapon/item special.

Nah, it's your mod. I'll just do (or better yet, help you) what you want.

The Venom Rifle sounds good, it's going to be a rifle that fires poison/toxic/acid-like rounds?
