Cassette Beasts Mod: An AoA Overhaul-ish
The AoA mod is a full new second campaign / open world for Cassette Beasts (CB). It will be accessible through the mod club station of Mod Utils by Cat.
The AoA overhaul will aim to bring a new experience to CB and to the best of our ability - keep AoA and the CB world separate. This means New Wirral things will stay on New Wirral - and AoA things will stay with AoA.
Development for this new world is estimated: to take a long time.
Coming Soon: Want to aid development? Try creating an NPC! - (Info page, coming soon.)
The AoA compaign will feature:
- A ton of monsters, we’re shooting for 150.
- New partners.
- A divergent storyline (yay for options making a difference in story progression!).
- New typings
- New moves
- A more traditional RPG experience
- And more?
Basics
Through your own foolish choice, you fall to Aurora. And as fate would have it, you land in the Central Empire - the largest continent on Aurora, in the midst of a skirmish between Pyron and the rebels, Which side will you choose?
Factions
AoA’s factions will be miniature storylines that you can follow to progress the main plot. You will be able to join multiple factions, but your choices may lock you out of other factions.
- One of two opposing political factions - unnamed.
- The Underground - rebels
- Rylok - Subterraneankin’s military (2 separate divisions)
- Mylinors - above ground offensive unit
- Ritlaws - mostly below ground offensive unit
- Sovos - Pyron’s military
- Royal Guards - a defensive unit
- the Reapers: a strike force
- the Phantoms: an infiltration / information unit
Extra Stats
AoA mod will add some extra stats to your character, like charisma. These stats will influence dialogue options.
Typings
AoAs original typings line up relatively well with CB. But we have 4 major categories. Energy (Light, Kinetic, Sound, etc), Space (Gravity and Space), Matter and we’ll call it Life energy.
Each category has a ton of subcategories, and essentially all matter / energies, etc. exist. Though we’ll be picking and choosing which ones to incorporate in the mod.
Characters in AoA will also have an ‘attunement’ aka a typing. Usually individuals have up to two, and sometimes very rarely have three.
You can choose your attunement when you start AoA!
Technically, Plastic falls under matter and Lightning falls under energy. So we’ll figure out how to handle those, alternatively, they may just stay separate.
