Race Dragoknights

Duuuude, I really hope your race will be added. Good luck with it!

 

After all, everyone always forgets about the mods. Suggestions can be somewhat translated as "Please put it in game but if not it's OK we'll still mod it!". At least from my point of view. And, as I'm very likely to use mods, why not?
Also, the race itself is cool. Somewhat looks like they've got drills for faces, but still cool.

 

making a whole new race would be VERY hard
-dungeons
-npc
-animation
-villages
-clothing
-backstory
would definitely be dlc

 

I'm fully aware of the difficulties.

 

Starbound is being made for modding so you should try making it possibly with some fans help
and you should take the base from another race and overlap your images (that would take away most of the work but if you wanted it perfect you'd have to do more work)
then i suggest you edit the sprites a little (they are great but can always be better), mostly the horns (it looks like they only have one)
implementation of race specific items shouldn't be too hard as chucklefish made it easier before implementing the crap-ton they had

 

they look cool

 

It has been done before with skyrim aswell. Someone has created a mod to rival the dlc

 

Okay first, great art. You got talent, yo!
But seriously, 'Medieval Dragons'? That can't have taken long to come up with. We've already got a semi-medieval race in Starbound anyway so there's another problem with originality.
Overall it's definitely one of the better/best race suggestions, being that it doesn't look like it was copy+pasted from DeviantArt. Good job!

 

I'm pretty darn sure that this race was posted before we got our first glimpse of the Glitch... Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

Doesn't matter which came first, Glitch got in first. Medieval-Glitch are already in, so this idea needs to be tweaked!

 

well i will check just to be sure

 

You do realise how old this thread is right?
I joined the starbound community about the same time this thread was made.

 

this came first (July 18,2012)
official reveal of the Glitch was February 13, 2013
but you could also see them hidden in the Floran intro November 15, 2012

 

(besides the backround) i think this makes it look a little smoother

^Pretty much what these guys said. This idea was made loooooooooong before the Glitches were even official. It's a spin on dragons being the 'heroes' instead of the ones to be slain. Rather than completely change their history as a medieval race, I'm working on giving them enough depth to differentiate them from the Glitch as a whole. Besides, I put too much effort into their lore and planned content to make a switch desirable.

I do plan on revamping the sprites soon, but that's not bad.

 

Looks really good, thinking of suggesting a race myselfs...
Modders will probably work their magic once the game is out and add them anyways.

 

MUHAHAHAHAAHAHH HAHAH HAH HH *cough* *cough*

 

Seems like people took offense. Didn't mean it in a bad way, the point is that the Glitch are in and this isn't so this has to be tweaked. It's like if someone suggested samurai frogs before Hyotl, the fact is that the race is in is the 'Original' race because it's lore.
Hope you guys understand what I'm sayin'!

 

It's fine. Regardless of what got in and what didn't, as I said I don't intend to change their medieval theme to another one. The amount of changes I'd have to do would be too much to simply edit this race. I'm content with their current theme, and I'm going to continue to work on it. At this point, its fair to say my race is leaning more towards mod implementation instead of becoming an official race.

 

look what you people make me do when im bored
