Is anyone interested in creating new areas of D'ni?

[Jennifer_P]

So, I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in "restoring" a piece of D'ni? I mean, we see a lot of Age creation that focuses on new Ages, whether these were originally created by the D'ni or were created recently by explorers, but I can't seem to recall any recent Age developers focusing on extending D'ni itself. (Okay, so maybe I do know some, but they're all over at SR.) And this seems a trifle incongruous to me, given that many people were very curious as to Cyan's rules about developing D'ni. So what say, do any of you guys intend to restore a section of D'ni?

Jennifer. Um Check out the Ages in Development article over on the wiki. I've been working on a new area of D'ni for awhile now. Even before the rule change (which allowed me to go with my original story rather than the toned down one I had intended).

Oh really? I skimmed through it recently, but I must have missed that. There's one person, then.

my initial plan, which is still an idea at this stage is to submit to Cyan THE hall of Guilds.

Then let someone with 3DS max and the Cyan plugin to compile that area for explorers to visit



That is if I can get it passed the Archivists

It won't get past the archivists. Cyan has discussed it, Cyan has built parts of it (I'm guessing). It's about as canon as you can get.

I voted third option.
I've had a hood on the back burner since november '05. I had no plan to take it any further than a personal design experiment but with the new rules I definitively have some interest to complete it at some point.
I also did a 3D sketch of a very small area I simply called 'islet'; I did it on a whim over a week end (see here). As it's a very small place it's more likely to be completed, also it contains some back story and the structure has been built so it can incorporate a series of puzzles to block of the initial exploration, so it's a lot like a traditionnal Myst Age.

I've been working on 2 D'ni area's for a number of years.

1. The D'ni Jazz Club/Firemarble office
2. Tehren Neighbourhood.

@Aloys - non of the images show up in that thread you linked to btw.

I picked number 4.

However I'm working on a Age where the D'ni have been to, since we're allowed to do that now.

And I thought, really when you think about it, "D'ni" would be where ever the D'ni had been: Cavern, Ages, etc, etc.

Shouldn't the title read: "Is anyone interested in creating new areas of the Cavern?"

Or have I gotten the whole idea of the poll wrong?
