pixelb Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I posted this to /r/thelongdark but I want to share it here too. Since I can't be bothered to wait until modding's officially added to the game, I thought I would start by making my own custom shelter. The RV is meant to look like a cozy place to stay but it has its own tradeoffs. It's warm and comes with a dense stockpile of food (including some hidden in the exterior storage bin) but there's no fresh water and no place to build a fire indoors. I picture it being used like the bunk trailers, good for a quick rest between destinations but not for an extended stay. There's a 3D viewer of it here and the WIP thread is over on polycount. As for the acoustic guitar...I mostly just wanted to make a guitar, but I think it could fit with the planned mental health mechanics. It's a low-calorie way to pass time indoors without incurring cabin fever, but it's also heavy enough to make lugging it around a major inconvenience. As with other skills, you start out terrible and get better over time. It also makes up for all the broken radios in that you get to hear yourself play. Is there stuff you guys would like to see as mod content? I'm less interested in changes to the mechanics (I think TLD has enough of these already) and more interested building new maps. What kind of regions or shelters would you like to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_Old_F250 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 That trailer looks great! I like your art style, it blends seamlessly with the game's. The little details like the dreamcatcher are cool too. I dunno what you should build next, but I'm interested to see what you come up with!

ghost78207 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This stuff actually looks amazing, here is a suggestion, just as a giggle. If modding does come into the game and you do make this a mod... Would we expect to find a bag of blue meth inside the RV perhaps? Just kidding. I do like the idea of the guitar, and I do think you could make it like a skill. e.g, much like how you can read a book on say... fishing, you can read a music book and understand the basics, and then you can find sheet music throughout the world so that you, the player, can play them.

Delta48 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Interesting ideas here! I know Hinterland is against modding right now, but once story mode comes out, I hope they open it up more. They are really concerned about the long game for The Long Dark, and modding communities really help that issue. Keep up the great work @pixelb!

Silverhour Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 This is very slick, and I hope you've kept up with it! At the time it looks like Modding is on the roadmap, so hopefully we will get to see your creations on our landscapes soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZHockeyNut Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 totally love this!! how about a Harmonica? seems to work real well for Les Stroud! a Sugar Shack for maple syrup or a still for some good old whiskey making? Talk about improving morale.....lol. a simple bird cage for trapping birds to eat? or a sling/slingshot maybe? rusty old 4wheelers or snowmachines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealNFK Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 This is great work! Sorry for the very belated reply, but content like this deserves a bump anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelb Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I like the harmonica idea, and old snowmobiles/ATVs would make sense to harvest scrap from. Sorry to say I haven't made any progress on this since but I have been learning a ton about Unity, which ought to be useful down the line. I also did a little thing for Valentine's :3 https://skfb.ly/6nCwP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape88 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It looks beautiful! However, living in a 5th wheel trailer that is actually bigger than your rendering, I can tell you right now that it would NOT be warm without the ability to use propane or electricity to heat it. It is only October and temperatures are dipping into the 40's at night here in Washington State. There is some insulation but not much and the windows are thin enough that even with curtains and blinds that it would be pretty cold for the survivor. The major upside to a 5th wheel trailer though is the fact that there is so much storage that there would be all kinds of nooks and crannies to search for items. Another upside might be that the survivor could actually see weather conditions and animals from the trailer whilst still being safe from the majority of weather's effects much like with The Mountaineer's hut.

I was about to say the same thing.. the insulation in them is practically useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
