Tentacled Dreams (WIP!)

Tentacled Dreams

(Crusader Kings 3)

 

 

Description:

This is the official discussion topic for the CK3 port of Tentacled Dreams! I will share any progress I make here and update the roadmap as phases are completed. You can also chat about it on the LV discord server here. I will probably make a new server for TD with the first release.

 

(The downloadable image is a placeholder only! I can't add a downloads page to a normal topic after creation, so I'd have to create a whole new post with the first update if I don't do it like this.)

 

 

 

Roadmap:

 

I will update this as phases get completed. Feel free to discuss the phases or anything related to the mod, but keep in mind I won't work on any suggestions until the final phase.

 

 

 

There is no time frame for now. I'll work on it as I get time! If you'd like to support my efforts, you can find links for that on the LV page or Discord. I won't post any links here until I have something ready to download. ?

 

 

Progress Update 1:

 

Sorry for the lack of updates! I know, not the best thing to say as a first progress update.? Not that there's a lot to share yet, but I did say I'd make some small progress updates in a few LV posts. I was a little sick a few weeks ago and took a break from modding in general since then.

 

Butt! I have made some progress, the first phase (planning phase) is for the most part complete. There still some things I need to decide on, but this is the rough direction I am probably going to take:

 

• For the most part, many of the events and decisions in the ck2 version can be converted. Ck3 lacks many of the systems to "hide" things, which means I will have to adapt the old content with a new way of delivering it.
• Ck3 does have a minor secrets system that will definitely be used. Societies ofc do not exist.
• Due to not having a proper way of hiding tentacle related things outright,  small events to gradually corrupt players and unlock more parts of the mod will be needed. The ck2 version does this too, but small things like religions having to set a doctrine on their stance towards tentacles will be visible from the start (like witchcraft). It's not really an issue and something I'll probably find a way to do better eventually.
• I think the travel mechanic will be a great way of creating more encounter opportunities. Royal court will also be a good mechanic to use for events, like the ones you can get when holding tentacle festivals and such in your holdings.
• I will be using a combination of both 2d and 3d art assets. While I can make the 3d models myself, any help is welcome!

 

The next phase (porting phase) is currently underway. I've already ported many of the core code and (before I took a break) I was nearing a testable version. Not testable by users yet, that's still a few months away, but something I can put in the mod folder and test in game myself.

 

Here are some basic examples of how things are going:

 

I was working on decisions before the break, still very much a wip.

And some examples of traits. I've shown this particular one before a while ago, but might as well show it on the main page too!

Spoiler

 

 

There are some other things I didn't mention, but I think this is enough for a first progress update. ?

[byehi]

is there a chance you'll be present in Cheri's discord as well as I know her community would happily support you with this

[StrategyLover]

This is great news. I hope you will succeed in what you have planned and we will all be able to enjoy great content. I think this mod has a great future. The original mod is cool on its own, but I'm sure you, with the help of the community, will be able to make it even better. I wish you luck and success in this work.

P.S. I think that continuing to work with 2d art will not be a mistake for this mod.

[G10r1a]

great job

[Aeldira]

Cheri's mods are pretty much the single reason i still have CK2 installed. I can not even express how excited i am to see you're working on this!

[Tebix]

Tentacled dreams is one of my favorite mods. Good luck with the mod sadly I am out of shape when it comes to modding else I would  offer my support.

[dtmr]

I loved Tentacle Dreams, the stalk event chain was one of my fav things on the mod.

Finally!
There is a reason to buy kc3
I hope the project goes smoothly.

Yay! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for all your hard work!

 

Do you have any plans to incorporate elements from Tentacled Dreams Extended as well? It had this really amazing male to female gender bending story line.

[TheDandyMan69]

Fucking Can't wait for the first release man, as another already said this and Cheri's other mods are just about the only reason I still play ck2 and honestly I have not had a good reason to spend the nearly (one hundred now?) dollars for ck3

[Dark_Crow]

The author cheers and hopes that the module will be released soon

[denst]

As a huge fan of Tentacled Dreams (main reason i still play CK2) I really hope you release your port soon. Good luck and thank you for your work BTW

[David553]

Amazing, CK3 has a lot of potential for TD imo, exited to see how that will turn out.

[thefool8p]

I'm excited to see how this goes. I really enjoyed Tentacle dreams on CK2. The descriptive text and the choice of being the monster or potential victims at the start of a campaign was great. 

[Celedhring]

Tentacled Dreams is a staple in my CK2 playthroughs.  It's definitely a gold standard mod.  I did troubleshoot a bit of that especially the Stalk mechanic...

Honestly, I'm so happy this mod is getting added to CK3. Being "Queen of the Tentacle Slaves" was always a great time. Thank you for doing this port!

[B0ukensha]

One of my absolutely favorite mods getting ported to the new game? 

I CAN NOT WAIT!!

[Hypaz]

cant wait

[rainbeau1019]

So happy CK3 will know the love of the Tentacle Masters! You're doing the Star Mother's work!

[Gemini_]

The mod was awesome back on CK2, and oh my, the boundless potential on CK3.

Best of luck to you and Cheri in your projects, I should relaunch of game of Stellaris LV to celebrate the good news.

 

Take care :)

i would like to  see then a way that its possible more to resist and fight back against the tentacle invasion. I also liked the idea of the TD submod that you could get transformed by the Monsters from male into a female and then a proper tentacle slave.

This more ways to defend yourself again tentacle attacks also more way characters can be corrupted by them.

[NSFWofcourse]

Many functionality from original mod can be easily imported in CK3, like, corruption mechanism can be easy using existing developing traits like hunter trait. visiting tentacle monster can be activity... Maybe we can now make tentacle life cycle, from tadpole to titan.

 

Also other mechanisms introduced in CK3 can be very interesting, like making hybrid culture or religion.

 

Anyway, thumbs up and fingers crossed.

Really love the idea, having the "Tentacle monster" trait be leveled, and gaining experience as you breed could really add gameplay when you reach the part where you play as a monster.

[forgottenlord]

One idea I had was for there to be some form of "failure" during attempts to enslave women.  The obvious consequence, IMO, is that they become mind broken though it would be interesting if there was a way for women to will themselves to never truly be enslaved by the tentacle creatures.  Or maybe a trait that increases resistance that one gains from enduring enough rape without succumbing.  Obviously, this chance of failure would be nullified if they willingly mate.
