note: this page is rather out of date. I'll update it someday if/when I have time.
Edynn isn't just a new world. It uses the DS engine, and a few basic things from DS, but almost everything else is new. Especially the GUI: Kits are back! I'm planning to bring back most of the kits from c1 and c2, plus there'll be more- I'll need a kit for net stuff, and probably one for making the gui look nice... ;) Right now the world and the gui are as separated as I can get them- it started out that way because I kept changing my metaroom plans, but it'll be quite useful later on if people want to use different metarooms with the Edynn GUI.
About the metarooms: these are constantly changing, so if I ever finish Edynn they might well be nothing like the plan right now... Anyhow, the current plan is kinda similar to a docked DS world... there's a moon, nicknamed Syla (no names are permenant yet, although Edynn seems to have stuck...) on the moon is a playroom: a nice safe little nursry-like place for norns, completely safe; the quarantine room: a metaroom with lots of small cells so norns can be isolated when they warp in, if they're sick, or any other reason you'd like. each cell will have three food sources (might be changed to just one, since they can be changed to different types of food n'stuff), a toy (currently a pretty colourful thing in the back wall), controls for light, heat, etc. and a door to the outside world that can be hidden. there'll probably be another room for large machines, perhaps a replicator or something. depends on how much can't be put in the GUI. There'll also be a room designed for growing plants, I think...
The main metaroom on Syla (in other words, the one I made first) is pretty simple- two corridors full of doors (yes I know there's only one door in the screenshot, that's because I've only built one other metaroom so far) and an airlock leading to the moon's surface... the surface of the moon has no atmosphere, of course, so I'll have to make some scripts that make things go *poof* ;) not everything though, there might be some kind of space suit or vehicle so the norns can go out there... maybe a rocket-ship to Erythro although the corridor doors will link to the surface too. actually they're more like teleporters. but it's easier to call them doors.
Then there's Erythro, the planet. It'll probably be made of a few larger metarooms, with lots of ecology n'stuff. There's a good chance that there'l be an option to not load those metarooms, for people that have slow comps, or just don't want the extra metarooms.
Update: 16/12/2002. Edynn currently has the playroom and corridor metarooms done, plus a mausoleum (although they need new backgrounds). Most of the gui is complete, apart from some settings stuff, the science kit, everything warp-related, and a few other odds and ends... I've decided to name the planet Erythro, I think- but I doubt I'll have any planet metarooms done for quite a while... I'm not sure whether I'll do Erythro or the Warp stuff first...
Update: 27/2/2003. I've changed this page a bit... edynn will soon have a new corridor metaroom with a slightly different layout to the old one.
