New Sunless Sea Art Pack/Skin Download

[Zar]

Hi Captains,

I put together an art pack to enhance the art in Sunless Sea. This is about 100 images that replaces most of the port and character art. It does not replace the overhead art of travelling (because I couldn't find it to replace). I hope you will enjoy this change as much as I do, I find it makes a HUGE improvement in the already awesome atmosphere of the ports.
If you like this pack, please feel free to respond to this post, I'd love to hear about it (and know if there is an audience for this sort of thing).
To the developers, you should release the program that you use to design the rest of the game and storylines to modders. That way I can mod the entire game into an episodic space horror, with the islands as planets (my day job is a horror novelist)! I could call it "Sunless Space" (well, probably not that, but it would be cool).

Here is the link to the Google Drive with the zip file and the instructions. http://bitly.com/SunlessArt. Whoops, apparently no links are allowed in Steam? Lets try this: bitly(dot)com(slash)SunlessArt [case sensitive!]

Regards,

Captain Skyfish

I would, but I don't see any option for inserting an image into a comment, and it doesn't allow me to insert links either (or else I could link to the originals on DeviantArt). If you don't like them, you can always delete the images folder and the game recreates it from originals. But, you'll love them, I got them from some amazing artists.

normal bbcode works here, e.g. [ img ] and [ url ] tags (without the spaces).

That said, steam refuses obfuscated links. Just use the original[drive.google.com].

Well the plus is its virus free. But when i saw new art for dark-spectacled admiral i NOPEed out of the game. Art is mostly hit and miss, but thats subjective. The picture of Admiral on the other hand will almost universaly haunt you in your dreams.

Thanks Wlerin, that's a good tip. One of the advantages of bitly is that you can count how many people clicked on the link with it, but of course it ends up looking suspicious which isn't good.

Gonna have to critique this pretty harshly-

1) You've just dug up a bunch of generic art style photomanips and digital paintings without any thought to making them cohesive, or fitting the tone.
2) the Admiral... isn't white? Why did you choose a white guy? It's 2015 you know that's not done.
3) I read somewhere that his eyes are supposed to be normal under there. That said, even if they weren't, the going theory is that he was part of the New Sequence.
4) You whitewashed the acolyte too? Mate.
5) Some of them still have watermarks on them.
6) You've grabbed random stuff for things with canon appearances. That Blemmigan thing is kinda cool but they really are just comical mushroomy blobs.
6) Whitewashed the campaigner... Also that white chick is dressed as an ethnic stereotype of a middle eastern woman, not a clearly South Asian/Indian woman as the campaigner is.
7) ...That cow?
8) I JUST SAW THE ADVENTURESS... ARE YOU... FROM THE 1950S... (even ignoring that, you took a dapper woman in Navy Uniform and stuck a chainmail bikini on her?)
8) The Diplomat and the Cannoneer are non-binary.

Your choices for some (Adventuress, Deviless, Nuncio, the Navigator etc.) are pretty good but overall uhhhh. Uh... Well the quality is up and down, there's no cohesion, and... the whitewashing? Plus you've taken a bunch of varied women who aren't all conventionally attractive and made them all look like the same white girl.

I appreciate that you credited the artworks correctly.

I'm just sorry that representation for people you don't like upsets you so much, mate.

Well ultimately the problem with replacing over a hundred images, each of which needs triple conversions and testing, is that you will get some inconsistency. I just put in all those hours because I thought people might enjoy it. Instead I received pretty steady complaints and one idiot actually called me a racist (despite the fact that for the most part there is race matching in the images). You did a real good thing here, you made sure that people who read your post won't bother doing any more modding because of people (I use the term loosly) like you. I sure as hell won't bother. Congratulations, you have made the world a worse place, which I'm betting is pretty standard for you. I guess it's true what they say, those who can't create, can only complain. That's your function in the world, you take from it. You are nothing.


Oh, and by the way, don't call me "mate." My friends are creative people who actually add value to the world. You don't deserve to put yourself in the same catagory as them. We'd never be mates.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to fit in around here.
