Here’s a free little gem to assist make your weekend simply that little bit extra chill, assuming you personal Failbetter’s deliciously compelling Sunless Sea. Tales Of The Grave-Garden is a fan-made growth, including a bit extra of every part to the sport. More ships to sail, extra weapons with which to make different ships cease crusing, and a goodly chunk of recent tales to comply with. They’re adeptly written and all match properly throughout the overarching Fallen London setting. The mod is the work of 1 ‘Enneagon’, and was launched earlier this week.
For these of you who love chilly, laborious numbers, Tales Of The Grave-Garden comprises 10 new ships, four new retailers, three new Officers (with their very own story arcs), 2 extra Mascots, a bundle of ship-related gubbins to bolt on and lots of extra tales to share out on the Unterzee. On high of the actual, quantifiable content material, a part of what offered me on Tales Of The Grave-Garden is the extra titles you could be addressed by. I don’t assume something will ever high ‘my dude’, which steadily turns into funnier the extra grim the scenario you’re in turns into.
Modding Sunless Sea should require a really totally different skill-set to most. I’ve seen many amazingly detailed Doom and Quake maps with barely-coherent documentation and messy, typo-laden in-game textual content. Modding right here should really feel like becoming new passages right into a novel, with the intention of constructing a brand new reader certain that they have been studying the one and solely printed version. That stated, Tales Of The Grave-Garden doesn’t appear to lack within the technical division both, with the brand new ships offering some alternate playstyles, and a few particular collectables main you in direction of a brand new ending.
Tales From The Grave-Garden is out on the Sunless Sea Nexus site. You will, after all, want Sunless Sea from Steam, Humble or GOG to play. While easily-followed set up directions could be discovered there, don’t learn an excessive amount of of the Readme file except you get caught – it comprises a walkthrough for a lot of the new content material.
Credit to PC Gamer for recognizing this one – I didn’t even know Sunless Sea had mods earlier than this week.
