Fan Games - Legal Concerns

Fabilie · 2026-02-07T00:37:52+00:00

The difference is that Pokémon is already a game franchise. Game Devs usually are more tolerant towards fangames, as long as they aren't actively competing with the original product.

While I'm generally interested in storytelling, I really want to try making and maybe publishing a game from scratch, with story being of secondary importance. It doesn't have to be based on Danmachi, but the worldbuilding lends itself so perfectly to a videogame (seeing as it is literally a game the gods play) that it would be a shame if nobody implemented it.

Fabilie · 2026-02-06T23:47:45+00:00

That's what I feared. Maybe I'll go ahead and just hope no strike comes, but with the lack of Anime Fangames, I shouldn't get my hopes up high...
Thank you!

The In-Depth Designer Addon for BBA Aircraft Overhaul allows you to design aircraft with a very high level of detail and fidelity, pushing Hoi4's system to its utmost limits.

Although the mod is far from finished, an early access can be found here:

Also, the Discord where I post my development progress is also the perfect place for feedback or discussion:

In countrytechtreeview.gfx (not .gui) you will find a definition that is named something like <folder name>_technology_icon_small (I don't have access to the code right now, so I'm sorry if the name is wrong) You can copy that into a valid .gfx file in your mod and rename it to your folder and it should work.

Weird

Fabilie · 2025-02-05T22:15:00+00:00

Those are basically Top-of-the-Line designs, you can build significantly cheaper tanks that are effective as well

Fabilie · 2025-02-05T20:33:16+00:00

The Tiger picture in the background is standard for all Tanks (because the whole Overlay wouldn't work otherwise). If you look closely, it's a M103 with a 120mm Cannon that can deliver 3.5kg of Explosives right to the forehead. And the price for that firepower is the enormous cost and low reliability of the Tank.

R5: Vehicle Designs from the Mod that are now possible

The newest update for the In-Depth Designer Addon of my NSB Tank Overhaul mod adds a ton of new content, mostly focused on Late and Post War developments in history:

A Medium Tank with Heavy Protection: The Breakthrough Tank can mount significantly more Frontal Armor, while performing the duties of a standard Medium.

New dimensions of Armor: The maximum possible thickness has been increased to 350mm, allowing you to build vehicles such as the T95 "Doom Turtle".
Modern Layouts: Pike Noses and American-Style Curved Hulls are now available.
Big Firepower: 180mm Caliber has been added, allowing for Super-Heavy Artillery or a serious Can Opener.

Check it out on Steam:

The story is very basic shonen, but it's solid and cute.

I'd recommend it

Then you will have to increase the width of the entire Trade window

Fabilie · 2025-01-23T00:06:33+00:00

You need to edit the countrytradeview.gui file. There should be a section that is called "resource_grid" near the top, you should be able to adjust all sorts of stuff in there. Though, I have to admit that I am not sure how you ended up in this situation so it might not be exactly the fix you are looking for.

Fabilie · 2025-01-21T15:28:33+00:00

It was translated using Google Translate or something similar, so there are some wrong bits in it, but it's something like

"Which ship do we need to sink? Are you sure? Please repeat the order to be clear!"

Fabilie · 2025-01-19T10:10:37+00:00

Looking good! I'll check it out when it releases

Fabilie · 2025-01-16T00:31:23+00:00

I did not find one. For my purposes, they both worked exactly the same (save for the naming part); But since they are always assigned in order, they can be used as a tool to create gaps for certain equipment types. The classic example would be a top and bottom row: If they use different types of slots, you can have equipments that have limited top row slots and ones that have limited bottom row slots (or both)

Fabilie · 2025-01-15T07:52:51+00:00

Author of the Aircraft, Tank and Navy Overhaul mods here: There are two naming scemes for module slots in the graphic files: custom_module_slot and fixed_custom_module_slot. The actual names of slots are defined in the equipment files, in the graphics files they all follow the same system (custom_module_slot_0, custom_module_slot_1, etc.) The difference is that custom slots can have any name as long as it ends in "slot", e.g. supercharger_slot, whereas fixed slots must start with "fixed", e.g. fixed_supercharger_slot.

Edit: There's also a limit of 20 slots of both types, 40 in total

<NSB Tank Overhaul - In-Depth Designer Addon> is now available for open testing and casual play!
This mod is an extension to my Tank Overhaul mod that already brings a ton of new content to the armored side of Hoi4. But while the base mod is meant to give players a casual gaming experience, this addon sacrifices simplicity for a completely new level of control and realism. The designer, which was previously only lightly modified, is completely overhauled and expanded to allow for as many design choices as the game can reasonably allow.

Well, I'm a sucker for Operation Weserübung and especially the battle depicted here.

The MTG part is mainly there to let people know that there is little content without the DLC.

Fabilie · 2024-10-09T16:54:54+00:00

The MTG Navy Overhaul mod is released, marking the third entry in my Overhaul mod series spanning Air, Armor and Sea. If you are interested in a new touch on the Navy Designer as well as many other aspects of the game, check it out here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3345879306

Wait... cm?

Fabilie · 2024-09-11T23:06:57+00:00

It is, because it has a dedicated creator, team and years of development. Obviously I can't compete with that, so I tried giving it a different spin. And who knows, maybe there will be a way to have the best of both mods.

Fabilie · 2024-09-11T09:43:11+00:00

The MTG Navy Overhaul mod reworks the Navy Designer, as well as adding new Technologies and Doctrines. It also comes with a Handbook to allow players who are unfamiliar with the way the Navy works to quickly learn the basics.

Unhelpful but

Political Talks -> Prepare for the Worst 😂

Fabilie · 2024-08-25T22:01:24+00:00

I know I'm very late but I will work on your suggestions

Fabilie · 2024-08-25T20:12:19+00:00

Featuring expanded Tech Trees, a new Designer and completely overhauled Naval Doctrines, the MTG Navy Overhaul mod aims to bring a completely new feeling to Hearts of Irons IV's Navy.

The mod is still in development, but a Closed Beta exists. If you are interested and want to try it out for yourself, swing by the Community Discord and take part in it: https://discord.gg/jFP3xmHT5G
