Ares

Description
Immortalizing my old dog inside the World of Qud. Someday he won't be here anymore, but for sure people can find him somewhere in-game.

SO WHAT IS THIS ABOUT, THEN?

This mod implements my mutt as a creature. I don't want to spoil the surprise but I have merged certain aspects of reality with how I imagine him applying Qud filter. I want people to figure out by themselves, that's why I haven't revealed where he is or anything about his similarities with certain creature that shares origin. Is not a big feature, but the result fits the lore and preserves vanilla experience.

If you progress in the main quest you will eventually find him. At that point you have access to similar creatures, stronger or his kind by different sources like Domination, the only difference it's for builds not around those options now you can water ritual him if dogs like you. It's one of those mods you add to a custom modpack full of features that work together to spice the gameplay.

KNOWN ISSUES

Due to game design wishes finished in "s" will give from 2 to 4 items, creatures or whatever. Because the name of my dog is not something up to discussion in terms of design, I gave him an alternative internal name based on his real nickname you can check in files, so you can use that one instead to prevent this. Anyways this was for testing purposes and a highly recommend encounter him by progressing in the game.

Please add a picture of your dog to the mod pics. I need to know how he looks now!

I feel that the main wish of all of us... is that we could live forever, that the wheels don't turn to bad and we all can enjoy life, but we cant so that's the why we want our names to be remembered, as i like to think: "My dream is to be engraved in the stars", and that's for sure the most honorable dream

ah this is a lovely idea for a mod, glad you've found a way to share your pup with the rest of the world

good to hear that you found the Snapjaw Mages tutorial useful, too :) I recently wrote up a page on modding in pets; if you ever feel the desire to make Ares a pet that the player can start with, this might help you: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com/wiki/Modding:Pets

This is really, really serene. Things like this add some flavor to an already full of flavor game that's weirdly endearing. This might be what inspires me to mod this game myself, I already punish myself with Dwarf Fortress modding, just refuse to upload my slop to the workshop.


This is awesome.

Saw this up in reddit. Absolutely adore this. Makes me miss my old dogs back in Zim, and our recent dog Nyala. Can't imagine a sweeter thing to do. Will keep an eye our for Ares on the next adventure.

Hey, that's really sweet.
I fear for the day when my little friend dies.. Hope your buddy lives to a ripe old age and you enjoy many bright days together!
