I began the making of Usikate Tamaa when FH was uh, hitting some rough slopes not too long ago and I thought this game of my childhood would be shut down or die out at least. Maybe it still will, hopefully not. But this cheesy little project is supposed to take on a realistic capture of the franchise that somewhat inspired a lot of FH (at least I think so)- and that is the Lion King.
Usikate Tamaa in itself means 'do not give up.' cheesy, I know.
So by realistic capture I mean that I am going to try and do the whole wildebeast canyon and waterfall and such, but it'll be more realism based rather than based on dryland to jungle. The mainland, Usikaa plains, will have two smaller camps with one large pride rock. These camps will be first come first serve. The map will likely only be open to african based RP's though, as it wouldn't be entirely fair to claim a camp for like, a wolf RP or something?
I would completely stick to the lion king's environment but I also wanted this to be my original work too, and I didn't want someone to get on me if I messed something or something wasn't exact to the movie. I also just have my strongest points in realism based things.
The meshes featured are both mine and not- I edited them a bit and transferred them in game, but they're just commercial use textures put onto default objects.
I am taking suggestions for future landmarks and stuff, feel free to shoot me some pictures. Gentle suggestions, not full on 'will you do this for me' requests. This is for the whole of FH!
I don't have too much done yet, but if you'd like to follow the project, check out my dA @ rookfox.deviantart.com c:And then here is a few scenes from the wetland. It has been renamed to Crocsnap Marsh, which doesn't sound as cool but there's not any alligators in Africa and I learned that after a google search and feeling like a dingus because I already posted this. Oh well!
Part of the reason I'm sharing this besides getting some hype up is because
I am open to ideas, suggestions, reference/inspiration pics etc for new areas to add in. I would like it to be a genuine map pack and right now there's just the giant mainland and the wetlands. I don't think I've really asked ideas from the community before but since this was inspired by the community, I mean I gotta ask.
I'll be posting more on my dA, Rookfox, soon. Hope y'all enjoy ovo
