TNO: The Venezuela War

For those of you who are playing TNO, I hope you are enjoying The Modern Tordesillas patch. I was deeply involved with the patch, and I was one of the principal writers for the Venezuela War. If Moncado takes power, he will invade Guyana to seize Essequibo. I wrote a lot of the events for that story arc, so I wanted to share them with you. I hope you enjoy:

[TNO] Новая жизни в майнкрафта с 2011 года | [TNO] New life in Minecraft since 2011

Hello! Off of your TNO writing background - do you find you have to code much to integrate your writing and scenarios into the game? A narrative heavy / mechanics light thing like that seems like it would be a great outlet for writing and worldbuilding, but a coder I am not. Also, what are the pieces you’re proudest of?

So, I'm a programmer, so that's not as big an issue for me, but I would say that it really just depends on the programming team. A large team with plenty of coders would probably be able to integrate your writing into the code very easily. Similarly, the game format matters - a visual novel made using RenPy is going to be a lot easier to integrate than a bespoke engine that might be very opaque at first blush.

As for pieces I'm proud of, I posted a few of mine already from the Crow and the Bull. Here's one of my favorites from Modern Tordesillas - the final humiliation of Francisco Franco.

And here's another one, where if you lose the coup attempt, I rub salt in your wounds to make you feel bad.

The Modern Tordesillas Out Now

Hey everyone, Modern Tordesillas is out for TNO. This latest version gives the Iberian Union a much-needed facelift, adds skeleton content for the Caribbean, and offers plenty of proxy conflicts across the islands.

In the Crow and the Bull, I was brought on to help with Lacerda. This isn't the case this time - my work is all over the mod both as a writer and an editor. The first piece of text you read in the mod is mine, I've written much of the amendments for the new Iberian legislation system, many of the police and news reports during the terrorism minigame, and a great deal for both the CD and the AP paths of Iberian democracy. This represents a lot of my creative energy this past year and I hope you all enjoy!

Cheers, SLAL
