cranebump Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) DESIGN NOTES: Been spending a LOT of time soloing with my Long Riders (old school) toons, which has included playing a ton of IP content. As such, decided to step out of The Row and feature this zone (well, sorta). Also wanted something magic focused, and wanted to include Dr. Cheng, and a Security Guard contact (my solo mishes have me working with the Sec's a lot). Considering the lengthy backstory I wrote out, this necessitated multiple arcs, so I could spool out the story without having to jam too much lore into multiple clue boxes. Made use of stock groups, with a few reskins. Had to create original skins for Cheng and Bocor (the latter of which looks close to right; the former? well, let's just say he's, um...close?). My obnoxiously chipper Security Guard needed a name, so I sorta riffed on a very old TV show. Only one truly nasty surprise (potentially), which I won't reveal here. (hint: it's not a too-tough boss). Tested with scrapper namesake (L38 MA/SR, who has massive END problems for some reason) and exemp'ed incarnate. No major issues, but these guys have sets. Arc 2 is almost fully scripted. Just needs to be finished and built. Arc #3 is sorta distant, atm. Thanks to the dedicated AE players! Gravity received a Dev’s Choice, and Asa Ronan got a nomination. Much appreciated! Hope the new content is fun for you all. Happy trails hombres, Crane Edited January 23, 2022 by cranebump Looking for SFMA content over multiple arcs?
