Heh, been over 10k for a while now, pretty proud of that. The female skin is already included. I do admit, it perhaps is not as distinct as people hoped or expected due to my limitations at the time, but she is there if you toggle to the variations. The coat is bound by a chain for that skin.

There is an effort on a 2.0 kind of project that I am most of the way through art-wise and mostly revisiting sprites/working out final versions. Just a question of time and deciding whom I'll partner with for coding when I finish up all the art.

How close we are to 10k? Female hype

Also the spear spear specialization gives only the bleed resist bonus and not the damage bonus, other than that i am enjoying playing this class.

I noticed that, while playing around with his pet trinket lumi the accuracy bonus is given to the enemy instead of the zenith, is this intended?.

The final two skills he has are the only things that should be off screen. They are designed to scale off of weapon damage instead due to limitations of game's UI.

Is there a trick to leveling up the Zenith at the Guild hall his skill list is so large it overflows the screen and there does not appear to be any mechanism for scrolling or changing pages and thus some abilities remain locked or unable to be upgraded

I love the idea of a stress healing frontliner, but this character has way too much text on each ability. Less is more, mate.

I suppose as a small teaser for this story... (not a final version of the comic, I still want to prune it down)

His story is something I am intended to capture in a comic at some point. It is part way done, but the TL:DR is that he supported a friend in become an adventurer and as a result, that friend was killed. Helped her train, funded her equipment, pushed her towards her goals and in the end, it just went badly. In her final moments she tells him not to let the world take his smile. So he got revenge on the fellow who did the deed and took up the mantle of heroing in her place, trying to inspire people like she would have and in his own ways.

I think I've picked up all of Zenith's trinkets and I'm intrigued in the lore behind it. That "the road to hell is paved with good intentions bit" tickled me!

Haha. don't worry, you aren't the first. My goal wasn't to aim make her outrageously sexy in the variation itself and very much a gender swap. Athletic gal with a "decency" guard. I might revisit it one day and see about making it a *little* more apparent but I'd say it comes through better with the rest of the skin's art. Either way you go, same outrageous back flips. He/she will be the highlight of the party! The Zenith of their day as it were :D

Oops thank you, it was a little subtle for my eyes lol

Skin B.

Hello Adon, thank you for your awesome mod. I was wondering where the female skin is?

His final two finale abilities do not actually upgrade. We built in a different kind of scaling for them so they'll grow based on his weapon damage/upgrades if memory serves. Due to client limitations and visibility.

TLDR: You don't have to upgrade his two last abilities. They'll scale from different factors. This is by design.

Hi there! Great job on The Zenith! I love using him even though he's complicated! Just one problem though. I can't seem to upgrade all his abilities in the Guild because his list of abilities is so long that many of them don't appear. How do I solve this?

It is indeed. The Zenith is based off my personal OC/table top character for Exalted, Syndoriel. Athletics supernal in 3rd edition.

Is this based on the Zenith Caste of Exalted? I remember Golden Janissary Style

I think the animation between his walking and idle standing could be more fluid. As of now, without a transition, it's jarring whenever the Zenith starts or stops walking. Otherwise, nice work!

It seems to be too OP to me. Above all for the camp skills. This class lowers a lot the game difficulty.

Indie Hello. There is not an icon below the enemy like blight or bleed, however when the Celestial Light triggers you will see a sparkling light visual effect covering the enemy. The Light damage will apply at the end of the affected enemy's turn. Here's a clip from a recent stream, the 3 DMG applies at end of enemy turn (video starting at 14:22) https://youtu.be/rnc0yANT1so?t=862

The Celestial Light DOT damage seems to not be applying. Is it a debuff icon or a unique icon? Damage does not tick between turns, just doesnt exist. Is it currently bugged or is it not a guaranteed proc?

Such a cool character, the animations, the looks, the skills, like, damn.

Correct. LSLC and FTS are not intended to be leveled up. They scale in other ways to keep them relevant.

So I recruited a level 1 Zenith with all but 2 of his skills at level 2.

Lone Spark Lights the Conflaguration
and
Faster Than Self

I go to the guild and it doesn't seem possible to level them up.

...Alucard?

it reminds me of a character in teraformars: Joseph Gustav Newton

I am pleased to hear that you enjoy the idea at least! I do have a plan for a Changing Moon based Lunar in the future but still quite a few things to iron out idea wise and I have a few other projects that get my attention first.

I love how you brought a character from Exalted into Darkest Dungeon. Are you planning on adding any other castes to the mix as well? I haven't tried the Zenith character yet but I'm super excited to add them.

sexy

leave the sexuyalizing to the pervs on nexus lol, but yeah it was honestly kinda hard to notice any changes aside from going into the files and looking for myself

I'll play with the shadows a bit more. Perhaps I can make features more defined without trying to over sexualize stuff.

I did provide her a different lip color tone, the belt for "decency" and varied up the face shape on most of the models. It is still intended to be the same base idea character wise but just a flip. I'll perhaps take a look but honestly beyond throwing out full topless. I might return to it and change something a little bit more later. Side by side the differences are far more apparent. I wanted it to be more subtle for this one.

ahhh ok i see, the details were so unnoticable that i confused it for a "female" edit that just added a single thing, i see what you did now after i had a look at the files..would give her lipstick or something tho .3.

"Female Skin Zenith" you know that entails the zenith is a chick right? thats uh..kinda what i was expecting

The chest 'belt' version *is* the secondary skin ^.^

i did that and...all i got was just zen without his weird belt .3.

Same mod! Just hit the usual skin button. Everything built in. No fussing required. You'll notice it when you toggle to skin 2/B

soi question, how do i use the fem edit..is it somewhere in the files or is it a entirely different mod?

Thank you! I am happy to say with the new animation design, he also will be less conflicting with curios in his idle pose.

I'm sorry for responding lately!
I didn't know about W.
Idea of frontline damage dealer/stress dealer is unique.
Like Twilight Knight, but is balanced and very versatile.
It's good that somebody filled the niche.

As we crest over 10k subscribers, I can't tell everyone how much it matters to me to finally see this mod reach these levels. Zenith has been a lengthy project that has been in my head for the last few years and working Dem to bring it to life has been an absolutely divine of an experience. In celebration of the 10k mark, I have released a second skin (a female take on the enthusiastic hero) with two more planned in the future; a husk corrupted take of the Zenith and one of a more Crimson nature.

@bartoszlancut Hey there! I am really sorry to hear it has caused that much of an issue! I am currently still in process of reworking his model to try and reduce his occupied space. The main issue has been to make sure his personality still exists in the idle pose vs dealing with curio space.

However! A work around exists in the meantime. Darkest Dungeon also lets you use W to interact with objects. If you are having difficulty clicking around his hit box, just tap W :D The game has an ASDW lay out so you can move your characters with just the keyboard rather than using the mouse if you wanted. Well, beyond clicking new rooms on the map that is.

Wherever I get with him on mission, something weird happens with curios. For example: I had to click the abandoned backpack for 10 minutes straight to open it. The class is overall great and unique (the 3 stages concept especially), but because of that issue it's hard to enjoy it for me. Thanks in case if you would suggest any solution.

Heh. I mean, I won't stop anyone! though I hate to say I really am not familiar with Funny Valentine. I am aware of him as a Jojo character but haven't gotten that far.

ok so Random Question: is there a Funny Valentine skin for this guy, and if not can there be one?

Haha. There is some skin ideas in motion right now. However, between my other projects I am drawing art for, I am slow putting together art for it. Working on it though! I am not sure he'll ever quite be armored but at least a variant outfit or so eventually..

is it possible for a more armored skin of zenith? I mean it's not like I don't enjoy looking at the those abs but... more variety is always nice!

pepsizero hello. hmm i am not sure what is happening, but i can't reproduce that issue. both Zenith and Rescuer can load into a Ruins map with no crash. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RP25vS-kEr3FcyEaaXpclCbnx9BS8l-d/view?usp=sharing
Perhaps try unsubscribing and resubscribing, or validate your game also. Good Luck.

Sorry，Crypts map
