Howdy guys, this is just a little preview, some gameplay footage of the DCUG alpha build that now includes the LSH!  Obviously voices will change, and strings haven't been finished yet.

Looks amazing as always benton. Have you reworked already included characters in the mods or did you just add new ones. Im sure your skills have improved greatly in the years between releases.

Thanks for your work man !  :thumbup: :thumbup:

A really obscure group for me though... :ph34r:, when i was a child i buyed one of the "armageddon 2001" comics storyline, when the 2001's where still in the future lmao   One of them told the story of future legion of superheroes, where Brainiac 5 goes mad, and ends up mutating in some really grotesque monster, and i think everybody died. As a child it really disturbed me...so not a very good start with this characters lol

Jim: Thanks!  I am in the process of reworking extant characters.  I've done some, still have LOTS more to go.  Yeah, my philosophy has definitely evolved since the original release!  Aquaman and his major rogues are the first original set that I've completely reworked.  I've got new art, new FX, and new powers and balance.  I've also done some retouching on the JSA.

Ok: Ha, yeah, not exactly a great intro to the characters, huh?  The original Adventure Comics run is surprisingly good!

NO, not really lol, Lobo was cool though, was the first time that i knew the character... A kid from the 90's, as you may guess haha !

I will take a look at that, and play the mod first !  :thumbup:

Howdy guys, here's just a really brief look at one of the fun little customizations I'm working on:


I'm adding in a bunch of Green Lanterns, and each one is going to have a customized build.  They'll have things in common, but they'll also have unique qualities, like the weapons they can summon with their Plasma Sculptor attribute.  Each of them will summon a different one, which they'll be able to use in combat, or lend to someone else.  It's minor, and it's taking a ton of work (thanks PG!), but I really love the little details like this!

More to come!
God Bless

Howdy guys!  As promised, here are a few screenies of the various alien Lanterns that I've got built-in.  Everyone is working pretty well, though I still have a bit of tweaking to do.  I'm quite pleased with how my Lanterns are coming together, though!


The gathered alien Lanterns on a strange planet


Half the team with their weapon constructs


The other half with theirs: I think Galius with his club may be one of my favorites.


Soaring into action!

I've got to lighten a few of the weapon nifs, but everything is just about ready on the Lantern front!  :thumbup:

As you know, I'm not a DC guy, but I really like what you've here. I think those small differences are very important in characters with similar powersets. Great job!

Cyber Burn

Now I have to ask, who is the armored looking guy? I'm not familiar with him, but he's definitely very interesting looking.

Thanks guys!  Yeah, I really enjoy finding ways to add texture and personality to the characters I include, and I feel pretty good about how this has all turned out.  I'll have another set of images up tonight showing off the custom powers and summons.

CB, that's Stel, the robotic GL, who is a favorite of mine because of the wonderful strangeness of that premise:

WB, maybe I can convert you!  :lol:

Also, I should mention, Sick Alice is responsible for most of the character art assets you see, and he's done a great job bringing a wonderful variety of these characters to life!

Alright guys, as promised, here is a little glimpse of the customized powers and constructs that make each Lantern a little special:


The brightened weapons look really great!


Katma Tui brings down righteous wrath on her foes!



And then she drops the hammer (or in this case, a mace, which also drops her foe)


While Green Man introduces an enemy to his spooky spectral bomb!



And Galius Zed creates a construct of an alien bruiser to do his dirty work.


Zed follows that up with a flaming asteroid construct that creates a nice, big explosion when it strikes.


Larvox summons mini-constructs to hurt and blind his enemy.



And then he scales things up for an explosive insect!

Medphyll, for his part, is all about containment, and creates a gnarled tree construct to grab and damage his foes.


And then he calls up that tree's big brother to do some lumberjacking of his own.


Medphyll's green cage beam is even capped off with an emerald version of Eve's entangle, keeping that floral theme throughout.


Naut is full of surprises, and summons an explosive sea serpent construct!


As well as a sharp surprise in the form of a trident...



And another sea serpent beam, which wraps up his foes in their emerald cages!


And if they get too close, an emerald tidal wave can give him some breathing room.


Stel likes to keep things simple, like this electrical attack.


And a fusillade of emerald shots.


Or a giant emerald robot fist...



And to really turn up the heat, a whole brace of emerald missiles!



Of course, all the Lanterns also have the ability to use those custom weapons to get up close and personal!

Thanks guys!  I appreciate the enthusiasm!   :D

I'm going to be busy for the next few days, but after that, I'll have the Earth Lanterns and the other high-profile guys reworked to show off.
