    World of Darkness

    Some worlds never die!

    This world will probably end up being a five year project.

    Ever wonder what it would be like to be in a world where everything is black and dark? How about a place where everyone is a loner and there are villians running everywhere?



    Now you can see one!

    I thought I would post something about this to see what other people would think about it.

    The world is full of loners and evil, mean people. The landscape is basically black. It will have a lot of mountains.

    Please tell me what you think of the idea. Any additional ideas are welcome. :D

    I promise to post pictures.

    I hope you can give me some ideas about what to put in here or what you think could make a world look dark and evil. :twisted:

    sincerely,

    bobsfriend

    UPDATE 1/27/10

    No pictures yet but I have started creating the map of the world. Like I said there are many mountains. High and low. There is also a thin valley.

    UPDATE 1/28/10

    PICTURE!

    I would like to know if this is an okay landscape before I put trees and what not. I understand it is hard to see the hills/mountains. Any suggestions on how to improve what you see above are always welcome :)

      Sounds like a neat idea. You could use the dry grass texture for grassy areas, maybe use some of the darker trees/bushes for landscaping. Can't wait to see pictures! :)

      Dry grass is a great idea! I'm still new to CAW. My first world was really basic. I tried out some land shaping in it but thats about it. For this world I'm exploring the textures and how to use them. I just discovered how to get more textures than the basic four that are in your list at the beginning. I think I've got the hang of it now.

      Hi Bobsfriend. Maybe you can incorporate an industrial theme with lots of alleys and giant smoke stacks. Just an idea of how to make it a darker world.

      great idea about the industrial theme. I think that will go great with the world.
      Does anyone have a darker terrain paint? I was hoping more of a black instead of gray.

      I have different textures at BogSims, although nothing black as they're more to the browns but one is very dark brown. There is a game texture in the pack Martine extracted from the game and put together that is charred dirt, even darker than my darkest dirt. Those are at MTS.

      By the way, it would totally be a good idea if you re-sized your image to no more than 600 pixels wide. As it is, it's a third of a meg in size and slowing down your entire post, not to mention breaking the page to the point where if your topic should go beyond the first page no one will be able to access beyond the first page from within the thread.

      I've been wondering why the page was so messed up! It's fixed now. Thank you so much.

      You're welcome! It's beyond me why these pages are coded the way they are unless they just decided they didn't want images wider than about 600 pixels, which makes sense if you don't want people to have to scroll sideways. Even so, it shouldn't break the entire thread.

      cool idea, I actually just made a world very similar in theme to this, it's quite interesting to play.

      Oh, a dark world sure sounds fascinating. So far I've only seen a few of these here, and can't wait to see what kind of a neighbourhood this will eventually be!

      Ohhh. Sounds good. I've got it bookmarked. Just a question, is it going to more Gothic dark, or more back alley dark kind of world? You might want to go to view to turn the fog off also.
    • bobsfriendbobsfriend Posts: 44

      I am not completely positive on what it will be yet. Most of it will probably be more Gothic Spooky Dark. But there might end up being some back alley dark areas to like where the industrial buildings and what not will be.

      Please help me decide whether or not to keep the purple trees! In a way it looks good but it also takes away some of the darkness feeling.

      Hi, :mrgreen:

      Nice to see you still working. :D

      Can you show a picture of the trees at ground level? Maybe from the road... It would give me/us a better view to judge.

      Sounds really cool! ^^ My dream? To make a dark "all ghost 100 perecent" town, all households ghost. Sadly I cannot seem to get lots to place with CAW... :( I can build a computer, but I am programmer dumb. :oops: lol I am breeding ghosties like mad though. In case a cool dark town "like yours" gets shared. :mrgreen::D Happy SIMMING! ^^ :)

      Bookmarked.

      I like what you have so far. Thankyou,thankyou, thankyou for making the stadium different by placing the actual one underground and a 'sub-made' one on top. Very cool since the stadium dislikes me.
