Hodge-Podge age and future Raol's mods
Thu, 12/31/2020 - 13:26 (edited)

I've already mentioned this on the Modular Expansion topic, but now I want to make a separate topic for it.

After the upcoming RaolCraft Omega update (2.2, which will add new structures, minibosses, totems, gems, decorative blocks and more), there won't be another cycle of updates. Instead, a long series of Hodge-Podge III will begin.

Hodge-Podge III is the sequel of a mod by Eonaut. Right now it only includes 3 dimensions and one boss, while the original mod was a lot bigger. I decided to focus on Hodge-Podge for a bit so I will quickly add all the missing dimensions and bosses (and a lot of bonus content). Like in the times when there only was RaolCraft, except now there will only be Hodge-Podge.

I want to quickly add the missing content because it's kinda sad to see it in this state, and also because I want to integrate the lore from Hodge-Podge with the one from RaolCraft, but I can't really until it's complete.

This doesn't mean the other mods are discontinued though. At the end of the Hodge-Podge age, all my other mods will get a huge update (and, if MCreator 1.9.1 is released in the Hodge-Podge age, I will do a bonus update for RaolCraft just for the ore dictionary XD). This series of updates actually won't be too long, maybe it will just consist of something like 4 updates.

Actually, there also is another reason: I want to release new mods. And before start working on them, I want all the others to be complete.

And what are those new mods?

 

Well, the first one will be a sci-fi mod. Yes, after all those magic or mining mods, finally a futuristic mod XD. It won't be a "tech" mod though. There already is Pyromancy for automation. It will be a futuristic adventure mod (and yes, I got the idea for it from Trailblazer, but it will be different).

It will be a mod about space, antimatter, alternate universes, genetics, clones, time travel and much more. It will have many references from my other mods and its lore will be integrated with them.

It will actually mainly focus on space exploration and on another alternate universe made of antimatter, which is very similar to the regular minecraft universe except for some differences (the war between light and darkness never happened there for example).

There will be meteorites, armors that adapt to your playstyle, spaceships, alien invasions, jetpacks, helpful AIs and much more!

Here's an image of what could the villains look like (this is just a concept and these characters may or may not be in the mod):

Scifi bad guys

(by me)

the bad boys

(by Dansamy)

From left to right, they are:

  • An alien sciencist
  • Your clone
  • A mysterious time traveler
  • An evil alien colonizer from an antimatter universe
  • The son of the antimatter alternative of a familiar face
  • A space pirate
  • An evil AI (it's the creeper hologram on the table)

Each of these villains would have his goals and interests, and some might even betray their leader or eventually team up with the player. It's not that solid of an alliance after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I have many ideas for it, but I still have to decide its name (what about Event Horizon)?

 

I also want to release a littler mod (littler than Pyromancy). I won't tell you its theme, bit I will let you guess it. It will be called "The Ultimate Plan". If you are minecrafty enough, you'll know ;)

EDIT (01/01/2020): The Ultimate Plan isn't going to be released soon. For those of you who want to try an early alpha of it, here is the download: https://mcreator.net/forum/55916/ultimate-plan-official-topic-early-download

EDIT (04/28/2020): The Ultimate Plan is now officially released!! Link here: https://mcreator.net/modification/58658/ultimate-plan

EDIT (12/28/2020): Event Horizon got its own topic, all future announcements will be there: https://mcreator.net/forum/69316/event-horizon-official-topic

EDIT (12/31/2020): Event Horizon is now released, check it out: https://mcreator.net/modification/69495/event-horizon

Probably not. At least not soon XD

After all the content from Hodge-Podge II will be added, I will start creating new features, including dimensions (and I already have many ideas)

What do you think of "Even Horizon" as the name of the sci-fi mod? :D

So the Characters in the space mod can be fought as bosses? If so. Maybe the Ai could be in a robot for its boss form.

@FreddyFoxGam3r

Yes, you will eventually have to fight with each of them :)

I initially though of the AI being a huge supercomputer (made of blocks, so it can't be attacked normally) sending minions everywhere, but making it be a powerful robot as the last stage of the boss battle is a cool idea :D

That's awesome! I had so many ideas that couldn't be implemented because of this limit but I forgot all of them! :D

(don't worry, the first thing I will do will be that Spectral Amethyst interaction with the Spirits you suggested)

As you might have probably guessed, there will be no Hodge-Podge age anymore.

Hodge-Podge will just be updated a little bit more frequently than the other mods (RaolCraft Omega needs a huge revamp to textures and dimensions but it isn't really necessary to update it that often, Pyromancy updates won't be too frequent to not overload it with random content and The Ultimate Plan and Modular Expansion are just little mods which don't need much mantainance).

But, good news: after porting all the mods to 1.15.2, Event Orizon will begin to rise (yay), I've already planned everything for it :D

If you really want a "roadmap", here are the upcoming updates (ignoring bugfixing updates):

 

  • Modular Expansion update that ports everything to 1.14.4 (while recreating some modules whose workspaces were lost and also adding a new one to the list)
  • The Ultimate Plan update that ports the mod to 1.14.4 (and changes the baby dragon from a utility mob to a tameable and rideable creature, while adding new special weapons to be used while mounting a dragon)
  • Pyromancy update that ports the mod to 1.14.4 and adds some new "machines" (and obelisks)
  • Pyromancy (opensource) addon that adds a block which turns Red Mana into FE and vice versa
  • Modular Expansion port to 1.15.2
  • The Ultimate Plan port to 1.15.2
  • Pyromancy port to 1.15.2 which will also add some features planned a long time ago like Will of the Wisps and a very expensive and lategame way to farm ores (involving epic multiblock rituals)
  • Pyromancy addon port to 1.15.2
  • Hodge-Podge III port to 1.14.4 which will add new things to the Overworld (Goblins), a way to actually summon the Jabberwock and some special day/night blades that gain additional effects when the other is in the off-hand
  • Hodge-Podge III port to 1.15.2 (which will probably improve the taint and add its boss)
  • RaolCraft Omega port to 1.14.4 (will probably be little since it will take a lot of time to update all those textures XD)
  • RaolCraft Omega port to 1.15.2 (will improve the dimensions)
  • Some open-source addons for these mods (maybe even for other mods)
  • Some little crossover updates
  • EVENT HORIZON!

It will probably take a while... (things might also change a lot) Why have I made so many mods XD
