Underwater Zoric

Post by Mishka »

What was this version of Zoric about? Was it an econ? How did it work? Any possible comeback?

it was a standard economy with an underwater appearance and theme. subs, scuba suits, etc for vehicles, foods based on sea life, stuff like that. all the models in it were taken from the game Undersea Tycoon.

it was anticipated in the forums here, many seemed to want it. when it was finally released, it was rarely played and i ended up resetting it after a few weeks due to it being a failed theme attempt.

used most of the models from the game Undersea Tycoon. but ones i didn't use are also converted for use in this game and available on tuwr.
buildings are in downloads -> buildings -> themed -> under sea.
vehicles are in downloads -> vehicles -> unanimated -> submarines and boats
theres also plenty of humanoid characters in downloads -> humanoids -> animated -> men/women/monsters/children
wildlife is in downloads -> wildlife -> animated wildlife -> fish


picturewise, there isn't much on tuwr besides of some of the wildlife:

theres also:

the wildlife in the pics is in the air since i used the model convertor to raise the models over the ground so they appeared to be 'swimming'. on tuwr there against the ground. the subs etc used the helicopter mode to allow them to go anywhere as if in water. the ground was textured like a seabed. the sky texture was games the water texture i think. although not in the picture, i think i had permanent fog as well for an under water reduced visibility effect.

I still don't understand why people didnt like such a creative theme. There must be a good reason zar.... common man, it's a really nice theme, very original.

don't know. only reason zoric etc have been down for the past weeks is due to the games slowness. don't see the point in spending money on electricity to have the server running with so few players.

if the game picks up again, yea, it'll come back up.
