Tbh, I feel the same about it. I'm not great at coming up with purely fresh ideas, and often resort to adapting and changing already existing things.This mod looks great, and tbh I agree vanilla late-game isn't that great after golem (kinda sad he's getting removed too tho). The one thing I will say is that it's WAY too similar to avalon, to the point where it looks like a avalon port that's been slightly tweaked to be a different mod. Most of the content here will be in the avalon port when it eventually releases. I'd rename the avalon content and change the visuals a bit (maybe change oblivion skulls' eye colors for example) so that it isn't the same exact content.
To show what I mean, this mod includes:
Superhardmode: one of avalon's signature additions
The hellcastle: a major structure in avalon
Caesium: a similar-looking ore that's mined the same way
Berserker gear: a vital avalon ore that looks nearly identical and is in the same place in progression
Oblivion: One of avalon's main bosses
If I didn't know about avalon development I'd think this is an official port, and I can imagine there's going to be quite a bit of confusion when this mod becomes larger.
EDIT: To clarify I'm not accusing you of theft or anything like that; I just think it's way too similar to the point where it's difficult to see what content belongs to which mod. The general style and way content is implemented is different, so if it got changed to not have the same exact name and appearance it'd just be inspiration. A good example is how many mods "copied" desert beak but change the AI, apperance, and name to the point where it's an entirely different boss/character.
I hope I'll be able to change and evolve the ideas into something that won't be instantly recognizable as plagiarism though.
E.g. the layout of the hellcastle won't be similar to the Avalon's one, Berserker gear is something I fell in love when I first saw it. Same for Oblivion, has different attack patterns and sprites, but it's essentially the same thing conceptually.
Also, the mod is currently on hold again, 1.4 came and I'm also busy with other things, and life too. I might pick it up again tho at some point, so moderators, please do not close it.
