Odyssey

A small mod for One Step From Eden

Odyssey is a small mod for One Step From Eden (OSFE) which adds a few new spells to the game. The idea was to try and create some new spells which retained the 'feel' of the rest of the game. This was partially driven by my sheer enjoyment of the game but was also used as an opportunity to learn some XML basics and practice my image manipulation skills. Thankfully, due to my previous experience building on top of existing code and the helpful kindness of the OSFE modding community, development on this experiment went pretty smoothly. Getting the custom animation sprites for Eclipse working was probably the part that caused the most bugs.
Overall I was pleased with how Odyssey and its five spells turned out. It is one of the experiments I would like to return to and develop further at some point in the future. Ideally I would develop it to a point comparable to Planetary Curios, making it feel like an unofficial "mini-dlc".
