| Concept & Development The core concept for this mod development project occurred by accident, during the course of producing the movie "Planetary Flights 3", in which two alien bartenders are unwittingly transported across the stars, when the restaurant they were working in suddenly lifted off planet Earth. In spite of the fact that they were there only to demonstrate various overlay mods I had developed for use in The Movies game, I did consider where they should eventually end up. Monkeybiz, another modder of no small repute, saw the flick and loved the premise, saying it reminded him of the famous 'Hitchiker's Guide..." books, and the project was thenceforth begun and so named. |
THE MODNESS CONTINUES
A COMMUNITY EFFORT
WOW what an incredible rush of cool mods that have come to find their home here. Monkeybiz is truly a Modding Machine! |
Creative Design & Planning Once we had a common idea, we studied how we might be able to get to what we wanted to do with the Restaurant Modpack project. The scrolling, moveable HyperSpace RP wall was the first thing we started on, because few useable scenes remained for dialogue & person to person interaction on the green set, where it was exclusively placed. The restaurant, modded ingeniously as a prop by Tripmills was available, but how to fly it through space while having a few drinks and conversation? The moveable hyperspace wall. Conceived by the bongoman, but made into reality by Monkeybiz. However, additional ideas came to mind as we watched the wall in action - we decided to add more textures, for emotions, for hypnotism, for pure freakiness; and we angled them so you can use them in any circumstance you might consider. |
