baldurs gate 3 MoonGlasses toolkit unlocked: custom avernus map WIP 3

[@Tree-vx5xq]

this toolkit basically turns bg3 into a game engine for future potential dnd-style games!

[@steeeeeena]

I’m incredibly impressed that you’ve done this so fast

[@billiamj8242]

Imagine a small crew developing a full fledged dlc since Larian won’t do it. Maybe a kickstarter to buy the voice actors

[@Geraltofrivia12gdhdbruwj]

Or entire new game just like Fallout London!

[@grayhax]

Avernus dlc with Karlach and maybe wyll would be amazing.

[@chipsalom]

Id adjust the lighting a bit if possible, give a duskier red hue, but great to see what you're putting together! Mu wife has been hard at work trying to re-create some custom quests she created Neverwinter Online when they had their forge tools. She took lots of notes on your vid, thank you!

[@jwilliwonka]

I have no experience with making mods but I've been having fun learning how everything works in the Toolkit. Hopefully, one day, I can make something as cool as this!

[@Crasuk]

I really like the idea of this project. I can't wait to see a fully fleshed out version of Avernus!

[@WolfheartFPS]

so cool! got me hyped

[@Novaling116]

This is super cool! Your Avernus is giving Caelid vibes 😊

[@iisechii4859]

this makes me so excited for the future!

[@MrFantasiesIMR]

This looks awesome. Reminds me of Caelid from Elden Ring lol

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Totally intentional lol. I didn't want to get started by making a generic lava area

[@BeepSmile]

@@tjrgwnfktwbag Area with surfaces/gases that do poison damage over time when?

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

@@BeepSmile I think you could probably code something like this up. I'm gonna scope myself on the map first using vanilla assets, and then on some basic fights and dialogues, before getting into anything more advanced

[@mariadg4090]

WOW!

[@kikodiva5808]

Seriously though, amazing work!

[@peb2899]

yooo this is amazing

[@SLEEPYDOGINU]

OMGGGGG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. please make a huge open area with a river of blood, big open wasteland type area

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

I am considering this but the problem is that a wasteland is a bit boring to explore! Have to think of a way to make it work

[@Asphodelys]

Imagine creating a new game with this toolkit. Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, Bells Hells

[@eb9782]

Honestly, Hell for level designers probably does have a single orphaned marker sitting on the ground, and you can never get rid of it - clear it and a new one pops up.

[@tecianeli]

You are doing great!

[@Frozen_OJ]

Some book about devils or something idk is my favorite book fr

[@BNHPhotography]

Looks pretty hot

[@jabaovalle7337]

That really DOES look just like Caelid.

[@quebecvince]

i just want a remaster for baldur gate 2 with the engine from the 3

[@chipsalom]

Oh God that would rock! The turn based vs realtime with pause is a major hurdle, but beyond that, that would sell like mad. Hundreds of thousands of ppl would grab that if it was done well!

[@chipsalom]

Yes! It'd sell like mad. The realtime with pause vs turn based is a major hurdle, but I'd take bg2 migrated into turn based and not mind at all, personally. Hundreds of thousands, probably more would grab this immediately if it was done well!

[@Zombie_g0th]

SO Sick!! How difficult has it been so far to navigate full modding tools? I dont really know much about this kind of tools but tbh im curious

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Not bad at all! Though I have an intuition for these types of game level building tools myself. It's a lot like a more complex version of the Sims games house designer. As time goes on more of this tool will get documented, which should make it easier for new people to get into! There's a few guides already in the modding discord.

[@Zombie_g0th]

@@tjrgwnfktwbag Great! Thanks so much. Complex sims game sounds like a good description haha, I might have to mess around with it myself! Ive always wanted to learn :)

[@random33E]

this needs to get more traction!!

[@chiarapictures263]

I want a Barovia custom map with Strahd in bg3 ❤

[@tylerwtr1]

"Some book about devils or something idk" please leave that hidden somewhere in the final version

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

lmao!

[@remu_remu]

this is so cool

[@lendial]

Incredible potential for the future of the game. With enough knowledge and time does the toolkit allow modders to create something on par with what Larian created (like the underdark area) minus of course professional voice acting?

[@bezimeni2000]

They found out how to inject voice into diqlog

[@pavlo646]

You think there is possiblity to get new quests in the future? Or simply something like new locations with portals and encounters/ambushes I am not that good at modsing but would even donate if that would be done smoothly

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

I think quests are possible in the future

[@ryno4ever433]

I really don't understand how you put this together so fast.

[@iananderson6111]

Ai can do amazing things now. And all someone has to do is take credit.

Should've thrown some sound in

[@P_Taters]

BG3 the Caelid update

[@gastonxd3315]

Looks pretty good *Spoilers lol* Do you plan on making a quest to save Karlach?

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Maybe, maybe not. Right now my "goal" is to have a playable avernus map with some basic dialogue eventually, might expand the scope beyond that if I have the time

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Though if I make any quests at all it will definitely be an Avernus thing. Mostly because I like game maps that look alien/weird. I'd definitely include Karlach in a quest as well, might as well theme it around searching for clues to fix the engine in different realms or something. Some other maps I wanted to make was an Underdark city map (maybe even a small section of Menzoberranzan) and a Feywild map. Maybe some of the other themed "hells" of the Nine Hells. And just fighting the wacky creatures that live in those places.

[@ethankline5336]

@@tjrgwnfktwbag That would be amazing. I've always wanted to be able to use the portals in the House of Hope, Menzoberranzan would be awesome.

[@chipsalom]

​@@tjrgwnfktwbagthe good thing is many people will take work that you've done and and build off whatever bones or anything else you do, so you're laying the groundwork for some potential really awesome crowdsourced quests and zones. At least I hope other people would want to come in and build off whatever bones others lay down.

[@chipsalom]

​@@ethankline5336yep, I wish there was some menzo looking architecture assets because aside from that, there are a decent amount of pre-existing underdark assets

[@torrentz4life392]

hmm, will it be possible to add voice acting? I assume if it is, its probably difficult at the moment

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Somebody already did it! Only issues remaining as far as dialogue goes is new mocap animations and facial lipsync: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXSxZGyOp6-obbc

[@torrentz4life392]

@@tjrgwnfktwbag Damn thats impressive. I wonder if theres an ai tool that could move the lips based on the letters being pronounced. Wouldn't be perfect but close enough

[@LeonGustin]

With this toolkit, is it possible to change the size of any character and creature from super small to Gargantuan?

[@Alcadior]

Your discord link is invalid. I'd love to help out with this. The toolkit is pretty easy to use, and I've learned my way around it. Could you post an updated link?

[@Alcadior]

Both this and the link on the newest video are expired :(

[@eliasbusch9874]

Thats not avernus, thats Caelid from Elden Ring

[@darthsidious6670]

what is your name that did you do?

[@tessmarie2933]

Okay this but Neverwinter or Waterdeep please 😭

[@ItsVenti]

Honestly I want someone to port the dark souls 1 map into bg3

[@ItsVenti]

Also just straight up making a caelid map would be cooler in my opinion

[@AlexVictory]

I hate to be that guy, but mushrooms require a lot of moisture to grow... so a ton of mushrooms in avernus don't quite make sense.. Scorched bones, earth, puddles of blood and flames would make more sense. This looks like an avernus themed underworld.

[@luked6753]

they're magic hell mushrooms

[@tjrgwnfktwbag]

Basically, a wizard did it

[@TacoRemixx]

these mushrooms have +9 fire resist and grow in soil that absorbs the moisture from the blood river and converts it to mushroom food or some shit.

[@bradenshrader8971]

You love to be that guy
