I was sitting around one day looking through my huge list of games and contemplating which ones to delete to free up hard drive space. VV is definitely one of my oldest games, but I'd never delete it since I'm still playing it every day! LOL

However, I was thinking about games and how they get boring, and how VV doesn't get boring as quickly because... well, for many reasons. One of the reasons I came up with is that you can make stuff for it.

Yeah, yeah, so you can recolor the mushrooms... so what? Big deal....

So, I wondered if I could create a whole island.

And I did. Took about an hour and a half with my rusty Photoshop skills. Okay, so it's not that great. Oh well. I'm not an artist.

Then I wondered if I could PLAY my island... and insanity ensued. It's a whole other game when you're clicking around blindly because things aren't where they used to be. LOL

After spending all that time on it, what was I going to do with it? Finally I decided it was perfect for a story. I made several versions to show the progress of my tribe, like in one version there is a fire and in another version they have built one hut... and so on.

Here's what my island looks like. I'm showing two versions, a "just shipwrecked" version and a "been here a while" version.

lol cute!

They so very good ideas

Cool!

Great!Maybe you COULD play it!If you could,let us play too!

It IS possible to play it, I guess, because you can look at the overview map and see where your villagers are and (if you know the real VV game very well) what they can do in that area.

There are some problems with it, though, like villagers walking over the tops of the huts because the huts are bigger than the real VV huts. And walking over the trees. I just ignore that kind of thing though.

I don't know if it would be possible to share this as a mod, because so many files have been changed and the size of the download would be huge.

Here are a couple of pictures of villagers on my island.

That is brilliant!

Thanks!

Wow! I wish I had your talent
