Now that a thread has been created regarding @morpheus562 mods and thanks to a suggestion made by @Acifer himself a while ago, i decided to create a thread to discuss his mods that are still WIP. Here you can find some of his related links:

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acifer

Unlike the morpheus thread that is a more general discussion. This thread is mostly focused on his unreleased mods that still don't count with a forum page, so try to keep the conversation relevant if you can help it. I'm saying this because i don't want this thread to overshadow the ones for the released mods, and the second reason is to have a more orderly way to discuss the upcoming mods without doing it other threads that are unaffiliated to them (Skyfire and Silverrealms' discussion pages are some of the examples, you can keep the talk about those mods in their respective discussions).

    So according to the unannounced soon to be released mod, and what Acifer once said, this mod will take place in the Snakewood forest. So i wonder what will be the scope of it, and i'm pretty sure it will feature Duskwood Dell. It is said to be a small one, so will it be bigger or smaller than ToTMG? And since it's in that forest, will we enter the cave of the weakened Ringreemeralxoth?

    There is no dragon involved in this mod. B)

    Man, that's a shame. I think SoA deserves some optional dragons sprinkled here and there in the world.

    The next mod is dragon-free…but I promise, you won’t be short on dragons elsewhere in my work. ;)

    If you're interested in what Acifer is doing. I just want to give you a heads up that the mods that are known to be WIP right now (not counting Silverrealms and Skyfire) are the following:

    - Unannounced Snakewood mod
    - Unannounced Moonshae Isles mod
    - Possibly a Chult mod
    - Loretakers II & III
    - Lily druid NPC

    So, I know very little about mod-design as-is in the sense of what is required to create and maintain a mod. I do know we have a DSL or DSL-like language; and the game engine connects various parts of it, but even after having collected quite some bits of useful information (e. g. "add x gold coins to the party", "move this weapon into the inventory of that character"), I don't really know how a mod "workflow" goes. If Acifer ever happens to have too much time available, could there be a document that briefly showcases some of the actual workflow? Like, to have a basic idea for an area; what happens next, then what happens in regards to NPC, background story, items. Not anything too long, just something as a quick overview that could give some pointers, assuming the target audience may be inexperienced but not totally clueless. I think I noticed that Acifer may work a bit differently with regard to that fancy .pdf overview for some mod, and I also assume that an "artist first" approach may be different from a, say, scripts first approach in regards to mods. Or an AI-autogenerating mod, though I assume most don't use that much AI. Most AI I seem to have noticed was in regards to audio stuff.

    The Moonshae Isles mod's name has been confirmed a while ago if anyone wants to know. It's name will be "Bound in Blood" and it'll take place in the Moray island.
