Love the portraits you've selected, and the first two races sound very interesting! Are you doing your own artwork for the ships and ground troops?

I made a video showing the shipsets I am using. Since Distant Worlds Shadows has updated their shipsets to Woddman's, I used some shipsets from the Distant Worlds Original theme and 2 or 3 pirate shipsets. The Empires that use pirate shipsets will have a different engine flame color,( and those races have a story element of how they got those pirate shipsets). My goal is to eventually give them all custom shipsets, but the ones they currently have are quite excellent. I think Im also going to use some shipsets from Sirians mod.

I am currently at the Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) Music Festival in Las Vegas for the weekend, which is why its taking a bit of time to update the original post with everything, but each new race will be unique and be interesting to play and immerse yourself in.

Hi, could you put a link to the music played in that video please?

I'm compiling all sorts of tracks to enrich my distant world playlist atm. I'll also be posting the ones I use as a gesture of participation when I get back from holiday.

It will released most likely a few days from now, my guessimate is 20th of July. I apologize for not keeping you guys up too date, real life got busy. The only thing I will need to polish after I release it is the troop images.

any word on this? looking forward to this !

[drillerman]

Yes, Bump!
Is this mod still alive?

[rawardy]

Sooo this mod looks Dead... Shame was looking forward to it. Could you upload what you had made so far?

[Darkspire]

There are distant rumblings ... screams of tortured souls ... the Darkverse is rippling into existence ... [;)]

Hmm, even the YouTube video isn't working for me. Sound is broken/pulsed, and the screen remains black. Other vids work fine.

Shame, was looking forward to this as well.


nb: Azuran hasn't been on since his last post above, Last July 18th....

Hi,

what about this Mod??? Would be great if V0.85 will be downloadeble to expand to the 50 Races

Thanks a lot

[Tanaka]

Shame this was never uploaded [&:]

[Azurian]

I am the creator of this and I believe I still have all the files on my Google Drive . I lost access to "Azuran" last year because the email I used was randomly generated.

I can start working on this again, but with new modifications and probably a new thread and mod name since I can't edit the original post.

[Azurian]

I found my mod on Google Drive. It was meant for Shadows and is currently unplayable. I will start from scratch and convert it to Universe with new modifications.

Wow great news!!! [&o]

[Hannable]

Thanks Azurian.

I was just about to download this mod when I realized you needed Distant Worlds Extended (rather than Expanded), and there was no download link.

Great to see this mod resurrected.

[Azurian]

Right now it's unfinished with just a collection of files. Because of Universe I can add new techs and component and going to be completely doing 2 to 3 races at a time until I am done.
My goal is too have new playstyles. The Ranga are uber pacifists who ignite with Rage against during mating season , the Charcario are kinda like America in that they are the galaxy police force with a love for war against war mongers. There are many tech branches without race bonuses like Mining and Commerce.


I used to mod for Civilizations IV, and maybe one day there will be like 100 races to choose from. Distant Worlds will be like League of Legends in a a 4x sense.

I have the blueprints of what I want to do, and trying to avoid generic or tropes as much as possible.
