Partnering with Sims 4 Downloads and other news

Networking

Dozerfleet Labs is currently in the process of trying to link with the official Sims 4 Downloads compilation directory site. This will improve exposure of DzMD to the greater Sims community, while also enriching it with giving players a chance to explore the possibilities with the stuff packs and story packs included.

Pack Wars

Meanwhile, release of the trailer for Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff came right on the heels of Maxis announcing that EA has ignored all polling data, and decided to mandate the next game pack be a Star Wars tie-in, partially to advertise the next Star Wars game by EA. Journey to Batuu will be downloaded by Dozerfleet Labs, but for the purpose of exploring possibilities with regards to a remake of Star Flops: Curse of the Medium Side as a free downloadable PDF Sims comic. It'd be about the same story; but polished up, and with better graphics. New materials could help with Phaemer Village Peacekeepers set design for concept art too, even though the PhVP borrow more inspiration from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Schedule for releases

The final story pack release for Sims 4 for 2020 will be The Horrorday Gang. Ten characters remain to be exported as Tray file collections, and then the entire set can be uploaded. The Centipede and Fire Saga and the Anarteq Story Saga downloads are being saved for next year, along with any other Gerosha packs. The Sims 3 story pack for Tales of Extirpon will be fixed next year as well.

After The Horrorday Gang Story Pack is complete, non-Sims items from Dozerfleet Labs will be restored online for download. Focus will then shift back to Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil. This will be followed by Blood Over Water being re-created as a webcomic. By December, hopefully, Ciem: Inferno can begin to be written as a novel. It will be set up for publishing before the end of 2021, and will set the stage for everything else in the Legacy volume.

3-13 editing will resume at some point, and the Star Flops remake will probably be made in January some time of 2021.

Also planned for webcomic releases in 2021: Volkonir 2008, Volkonir Journals: Attempt #43, and The Blue Face Film Strips. The original videos of these are, due to various complications, on legal lockdown, and cannot be released. So webcomic versions of them will replace them.

2021 also hopes to be the year that Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana is completed, as well as the completion of Ciem: Ash Cloud and Sniperbadger: Fall of the Critter Resistance. In 2022, Ciem: Caldera aims for completion, along with Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary.

New facelift and the progress of packs

So many new packs!

The Swappernetters Pack got so large, it has been split into four packs! The Frontliners' pack is now available for download, as discussed in a previous post.

There will be three more in this set: one for the Chrome Kite baddies, one for the other baddies, and a third for all the remaining heroes that will be featured. This pack series is the Sims 4 answer to the much smaller singular pack of Swappernetters characters cleared for release for The Sims 3. It is predicted that work on these packs will resume some time in October.

For the next several days, until completed, focus will shift to the official trailer for Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff. Immediately after that, work will resume on a pack for The Horrorday Gang, which will most likely be released in late September - plenty of time before Christmas.

With these out of the way, editing can resume on 3-13, as well as completion of Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil. Along with that, Blood Over Water can be made into a webcomic. These works will clear the way for Ciem: Inferno to finally be written, and then sent in search of a publisher. With Inferno ready for publication, completion of Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana should go pretty quickly. And with it finished, writing can commence on Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo.

The Swappernetters and Horrorday Gang packs are the final Sims 4 packs that will be released this year. A few packs for Sims 3 are scheduled for creation and release in 2021, as well as the remaining Sims 4 packs. When all Sims packs in pending are finally released, no new Sims content is expected to come to Dozerfleet Labs. However, old projects that are not game-related are expected to return to this blog.

Facelift

Dozerfleet Labs has received a redesign, in keeping with integration of the Labs division visually and thematically with other divisions. The post-apocalypse theme it previously had was put up as a statement to be made about the state governors, and their manipulation of the exosome scamdemic in an effort to steal the November 2020 elections. The idea is that a war and apocalypse may be needed to undo all their crimes.

However, the future of the Labs division rests in its downloadable content, not in political commentary. The place for that is elsewhere. Therefore, the blog has been updated to show a retool toward that purpose - as well as to aid integration with the Dozerfleet Database.
