Round 2 of the Vidcom Gfx Poll still running

We just did the NewGfx upgrade like 2 months ago… But probably in about a year’s time we’ll publish a newer version of the NewGfx. I am already doing some community research which graphic styles and image compositions are preferred by the SE players. If you have not done so yet, please vote over here: https://www.vrdesigns.net/vidcom_poll/poll2.php

Best wishes,
Vic

Finally found the time to update WordPress and PHP version. Fixed some dead links and also included option to upload generated planets of the .se1 file format (Shadow Empire). If you run into any website bugs than please post on Discord on in the comments below.

SE Republica Soundtrack

Please make sure to get your high quality copy of the Shadow Empire Republica Original Soundtrack (OST)! by the great Marco Finestra.

His music has inspired me for years now to make Shadow Empire better and more immersive. Hop on over here to his bandcamp: https://marcofinestra.bandcamp.com/album/shadow-empire-republica-original-soundtrack

Did I already mention that the “Meritocracy” track is pure gold? It is! But with nine political systems and nine soundtracks, there must be a favorite for everybody.

Best wishes, Vic

New Gfx Vidcom Modding

I would like to make especially (potential) modders aware that with the New Gfx Vidcoms graphical modding has been hugely extended. Cumulating multiple images, layering, conditionals, using multiple mods at the same time, it is all possible now. Read more in this short PDF presentation: https://www.vrdesigns.net/docs/NewGfxVidcomModding.pdf

For more in depth documentation go to the full docs over here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XlfhwgiXz9UxpCpevndGf-xM76WkCOner8MCabBt_cA/edit?usp=sharing

Also note I have created a dedicated page in the top menu of this website under the “Shadow Empire Series”. https://www.vrdesigns.net/?page_id=2325
