Wanderer's Sketchbook

Overview

---

 

Have you ever had that little voice in the back of your head saying, "You should draw more, or you’ll die"? I know i had. Well, look at us now, we can... in-game! It’s a sketchbook you can use for pretty much anything you’d use a sketchbook for in real life! You can also export your drawings and transfer them between worlds and friends! Works with drawing tablets and pressure sensitivity if combined with Wanderer's Sketchbook - Drawing Tablet Patch!

 

The inspiration behind this mod was actually Arthur Morgan’s journal from rdr2. Now you can be like him and document your journey or your moral dilemmas, you can also be like John and do your best! There are many things you can do: you can play tic-tac-toe with your companions, keep a list of your most important tasks, or just make some doodles while waiting for iron. The world is your oyster! (You can even draw an oyster if you’d like!) It's also yet another mod that I wanted to have in my nomadic playthrough, since i wanted a way to document the incredbile things I've been experiencing.

 

Highly recommend combining this mod with Salty´s Cameraman for some extra fun angles!

Goals 

---

 

• <span style="text-decoration: line-through; color: #7e8c8d;">Sketchbook opening/closing animation, maybe page turning animation</span><span style="color: #000000;"> Added in the 2.0.3 update</span>
• Ability to tear out a page from the sketchbook. This would allow players to keep and lock a drawing outside the sketchbook, preserving it as a standalone item. Optionally, include a feature to add a frame to the torn page, so players can hang or place it in their camp or home.
• <span style="text-decoration: line-through; color: #95a5a6;">Drawing tablet improvements and preassure sensitivity feature (not sure if its even possible but would be awesome)</span> Turns out its possible and its awesome Wanderer's Sketchbook - Drawing Tablet Patch
• <span style="text-decoration: line-through; color: #95a5a6;">General polish, refinement and more optimization (I'll try to make it as lightweight as possible)</span> <span style="color: #95a5a6;"><span style="color: #000000;">Added dedicated database in the 2.0.4 update</span></span>

Huge huge thank you to the incredible illustrator and concept artist DuarArt for trying out the mod, providing feedback and leaving two incredbile illustrations!

Thanks to SaltyWater for confirming that this is possible, his wonderful mod TerraTag made me believe that something like this is actually doable.
