I don't recall them being fixed
But they shouldn't be an issue for much longer

Replying toJack PapelYou'll have to ask @Azzyypaaras for an answer about humans in particular, but we do have…
I think maybe can let those NPCs acted just like the Terraira or vanilla Villagers? you can kill them, and they can get reborn after a short time?...Actually I don't really much like those NPCs in the original Aether II. I think they were a little lifeless.

That'd be because they were unfinished 😂
I would really hope Paradise Lost wouldn't base its ideas on crap unfinished content we made for Aether II lmao

Would be neat if the native npcs in the aether were bird people
Not biased ofc
Katie13:36
We have a variety of NPC species planned for Aether II including the Valkyries from Aether 1, Angels (crystal people), Gruegar (big bear people), Drac'san (Dragon vampire people) and the occasional human character
the Paradise Lost team have lots of new ideas for their stuff too
that I won't spoil 😄
I also did draw bird people for my 10th anniversary working on the Aether so they may end up making their way into Aether II at some point https://i.imgur.com/0QwzB66.png

Bird people is the way to go imo, that’s what I designed for my Aetherian oc. Bird but a lil funkier~
Katie14:14
Generally its something I try to steer away from or at least put some unique twist on given bird people are very common in sky island fantasy worlds

Cool birdies

That's really cool! I used to thought that the Drac'san were actually your enemy. So they were actually...friends?
Katie14:26
Some are, some aren't 😄
specifically you're more likely to find friendly Grey Drac'san who have been run out of their homeland by the Red Drac'san
But yeah I dont imagine Paradise Lost will base its own content on my stuff too closely so I doubt any of this stuff will appear in the mod
Parallel11314:30
So what about the "Bird" people? I don't think I have been seen them in the Lore...?
Katie14:30
they're a drawing I did back in 2012 before I joined the Aether team, basically fan art to pitch myself as a concept artist, that I redid last month as part of my 10th anniversary on the team
so right now there's no lore for them
and we're not 100% certain they'll be included
but Im thinking they'll be a species that lives alongside the Gruegar in the Wildgrowth area
Parallel11314:32
That's pretty surprising.
Were they related to the Moas?
Katie14:34
They have no lore 😄 its just a drawing
Parallel11314:35
Ok, I would be looking forward to it.
Katie14:36
If we do go ahead and include them I'll write backstory for them that relates to their in-game content but yeah for now its just a cool drawing I did last month based on a decade old sketch
DayTheMagpie14:37
I think it could be cool and unique to give them peacock-like tails, like the long train that can fan out? I've never seen that in bird people, typically it's no tail feathers or the default short fan most birds have.
Parallel11314:38
I understand. But I am actually pretty looking forward to that new story.
