Anarchy Offline

[matakishi]

Right, well, barring some holo ads and some video screens that need to be completed my Clan/Neutral city is complete. During play I'll be adding in my Bazaar that I've already made so the buildings will be grouped differently but for the moment I wanted to showcase the new stuff.









lots more photos and WIP shots on my project page:

Oh, and Infectors too

Now that is an impressive body of work! I've been modeling for a long time and your output is amazing. Those leets are priceless. The Whom-Pah is great.

Looks like you have AMS. (Advanced Modeler Syndrome) That's when you see something, a plastic scrap, a lid, a rock, anything and everything and think: "H'mm, I bet that would make a great ..."

[BlockAndLode]

If FunCom would license this, you can just shut up and take my money ffs...

[matakishi]

Well, I don't think I can afford a license so the public version will probably not have any reference to Rubi-Ka in it, but we'll see, stranger things have happened

Here's a quick Omni-Tek outpost which just about brings the building part of the project to a conclusion (although I have some SL Xan buildings to make still). Obviously I'll be adding stuff as time goes on but for now the focus is going to be on getting the rules and equipment cards into a presentable format. I unveil the final game this October at a wargames event and have a good few people eager to try it out (thankfully).

I've moved onto more general stuff now.

Video screens.



Here's a very quick video to show them working:

My night club, the green robot, incorporates a Bluetooth speaker so i can stream music and sound effects to the table top.

This is my Unicorn Shuttle





Crashed ship for a mission objective (and sandworms)



I'm currrently making a pair of Bronto Burger stands, more to come.

matakishi, one word, stunning.

You don't know it, but you're in fact a visual librarian documenting AO so in the future when Skynet has destroyed the world and they find your art in a sealed basement in a post-apocalyptic future, they can recreate AO as it once was!

[Means]

Fantastic stuff!

[MachSchau]

Can I come over to your house and we can play good guys vs bad guys?

Can I come over to your house and we can play good guys vs bad guys?

You have to be the bad guys, I only play Omni

[matakishi]

We had our first try out of the rules yesterday before the big reveal at a show in two weeks.
There were four of us which seems the optimum number of players and we played the assassination mission



The game lasted four turns with an eventual win to the good guys (Omni) when my Fixer took down the target. Both the Clan Crat and Soldier were killed by the Omni Enforcer in fairly spectacular ways.
In no particular order, here are some pics from the game. There are many more in a gallery here:

I made some very small adjustments to the rules (just the Soldier's starting nanos) after the game. Everyone said they had a good time. There was one other AO player present who said the game captured the feel of AO well and liked the ways the professions interacted (which was a relief) and two experienced tabletop gamers but AO novices who had no trouble picking up the nuances of their professions.

All-in-all, a good beginning.

[Quetzalcoatl]

As one of the players of Matakishi's game, I just wanted to chime and say how much fun it was and how faithful the game and the professions are to the feel and spirit of the game...especially in pvp!! I look forward to seeing my in-game shade (Quetzalcoatl) take to the field next time!!

Also...bureaucrats are awesome!!

[Dochere]

This as absolutely fantastic!

[Wrangeline]

The internet has voted and the results have come in.

You're awesome.

[Ophiuchus]

Extremely awesome. Yup.

[Agentcora]

This is all very awesome stuff! Well done

[matakishi]

I've compiled the photos and added a short narrative of the game here:

[matakishi]

This was our second game which we played yesterday. It's designed to be my 'NPE' with an open table and few mobs to emphasise the need for teamwork.













My team lost because I was a rubbish Doctor

[Raggy]

I'm loving this. Don't suppose you're gunna do a ruleset write-up at some point? I'd love to see how it all works.

[matakishi]

The rules will be available before Christmas. They may need to be presented in a more 'generic' format to avoid mention of Funcom stuff in the background material but the rules themselves will be unchanged.

[Tryptophy]

Did anyone else think "this would make a cool videogame" when reading the Data Retrieval mission? Imagine AO as a turn-based strategy game. I wish I had millions of dollars to buy the IP and develop it. Anyways, super great work and I hope to be able to play some version of this someday.
