Game Development Overhaul (Testing Branch)

This mod is intended for testing branch, which means that it will be running with the testing branches! See this link for my stable branch mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724676232

If there's no testing branch, this mod will be compatible with the stable branch.
-------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The actual design document for all games looks differently ingame than it does in the screenshots! This is due to the fact that i made some game features require other game features before they can be picked (Needing to pick 2D to unlock specific features)
Also i will be adding cheeky descriptions... Eventually ;)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGELOG:

v0.2
- Tweaked some features, so they make more sense
- Made Studio Editing depend on 2D-editor like the Music Editor
- Changed the Dev-time for almost all features, so they become a bit more "realistic" in terms of
amount of time spent on developing each feature

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is my third mod, and i am really surprised how fast i actually managed to make this mod, as it seemed like a big project when i initially started. The added features in this mod is mostly focused towards the mid-game and late-game.

In short what this mod features:

A FULL overhauld of game development, meaning that 4 NEW genres has been added (see my other mods), along with a TON of new features to pick for games. But that is not all there is to it. All game genres, meaning vanilla ones aswell, has been tweaked, so they become more unique, and they have different features for each genre (Meaning that a horror game can't have localized multiplayer ect... It just doesn't make sense to me :P)
This also means that there will be a lot of variation with how your games turn out since there is so much customization to each game.

As for the new game genres, 2 of them, horror and survival, has hand-made AI namegenerators. The Racing genre has it's own hand-made namegenerator for AI's aswell, and don't worry, i made sure that the "Sports" genre can't release any title that sounds like a racing game. The last genre, Fighting's namegenerator, is a mix between Adventure, RTS and RPG from the original namegenerators.

The genres unlock as follows:
Fighting: 1986
Racing: 1992
Survival: 1993
Horror: 1995

The gaming overhaul also means that the usual "select all features" is NOT gonna cut it when you reach late game, unless you want to spend a decade on making a game (Which would be realistic if all those features were to be implemented, by a team of the size of the recommended team size). This basically means that you will have to pick and choose, giving the individual games you make more personality (In your own mind ofc :P).

Now, because there are so many new game features, i felt like i needed to make some new features for the Audio Tools, 3D Editors and Game Engines aswell, as i needed some other features from those, for the new gaming features to make sense.
Anyway, point is, i made 1 new feature for the 3D Editors, 2 for the Audio Tools and 2 for the Game Engines, for it all to fall in together. I don't know how many game features has been added tho... But a lot.

I am simply not gonna list all the features, as it would take way too long, but if you look in the screenshots, you can see the design scheme for each of the game genres (The actual one looks a bit different as stated in the beginning), along with a screenshot of the Game Engine, Audio Tool and 3D Editor Design, so you can see the features i "had" to put on those for everything to make sense.

Please give all the support you can, as it is greatly appreciated. Especially in terms of balancing or if you find any bugs. Please let me know if there is any features you think seems a bit strange, or if you have some great suggestions on some new features/genres to add.

Enjoy! :D

This mod will probably NOT work with any mod which changes anything to Game Engines, Audio Tools, 3D Editors and especially not Games :P

This mod does not work with Vision mods or New Era, unfortunately.

All of the features in my 2 other game dev mods are in this mod aswell. They can be found here:

This mod was created by me for the Workshop. I would like everyone to know that i wont have anyone using this mod in any modpacks, and or "redisigning" of my mod without my approval. Basically, only use MY mod, don't copy it and make into something else, or add it to another major modpack.
If you really wish to do this tho, contact me first, and we'll talk about it. Feel free to add me on steam to ping me a message.
