may have blue-looking minerals, as well as other mineral sources. Pretty much like in 0ad metal/stone are represented by different types of boulders and elements.

I like the idea of brightly colored metals.

not sure if it's completely off-topic, or may be relevant.. nobody had any comment towards the proposal of doing something more cel-shading in style. But, just in case, here's something I've found towards that stylistic direction.

Just ideas, of course. Since it's something anyway different from the core game, I think it could be an opportunity for stylistic experimentation

I certainly wouldn't mind something like the Homeworld style

Nobody here knows how to do that and I don't know how the engine should be adjusted.

I presume it would work  via making new textures and not through a custom shader, so no engine adjustment should be needed?

Although a shader would make it much easier ofc

I know it can be done like this. I don't know how much the effect can be emulated.

Ah.. yeah! That's why is supposed to be an experimentation. It may work or maybe not but, given the nature of the mod, this could be a chance to try  (?)

These are just ideas ofc. We may settle eventually with whatever works best anyway

Is this still at an idea level, or is there even part of a playable faction implemented or expected to exist soon? The engine is so good and I'd like to see alternative games / mods for it too... something scifi would definitely work to complete the set.

Only ideas. we don't even have 3D models.

Cel shading would indeed need a combination of textures and a new shader that's the way blender does toon rendering.

Enjoy the Choice

Usually I don't follow much the Star Wars saga. Especially now it looks to me more like a gigantic marketing operation and doesn't excite me that much but darnit!! this is probably one of the most epic trailers I've seen!

Good stuff
