Tried updating graphics driver using AMD's autodetect utility and it made my computer blackscreen.It almost certainly is. I'd suggest that he was inspired by the avali and simply failed hard at distancing his creation from them, but he clearly recycled a lot of resources from the avali mod.
Luckily a manual shutdown didn't break anything. The driver just didn't install.
This seems to happen every time I try to update my graphics driver, whether it be via the official utility, the AMD website's manual downloads, or an external utility like DriverBooster.... Ugh.
Whatever. I pretty much give up here, besides, they're only a few months outdated atm (which I guess means one of the failed updates actually worked? Wish I could remember what I did that time...)
Wow.
-Avikan ; Avali -- Similar names
-Similar sprites
-Similar architecture (tents)
-Similar culture (nomadic, hunters)
-etc. etc.
Hm.
That said, it's very possible the coincidences are actually coincidences, and the mod's quality looks astounding.
I may have to try it out at some point. And by the looks of it, far more races are coming...
I wonder if their clothes are compatible with Avali sprites...
He says he used the mod as art inspiration but did draw all resources himself.
And also the race is apparently from the RP forum he mentioned.
I haven't looked myself, but if they're old enough then it's possible that they weren't actually inspired by the Avali and that all of this is actually a (actually quite funny) coincidence.
