The Vesperian
An alien race of chiropterans is finally here!
Vesperian folk live in caves and forests. They have wings and use them to jump, glide and fly. Their diet consists of fruits and insects, they are good hunters by nature, but prefer farming as main provision supply. Their culture resembles that of Byzantine empire of the ancient Earth, purely coincidentally. They worship light and harmony, and often make great musicians and singers. Craftsmanship is also not foreign to them; they can forge metals and make alloys.
Yep, space bats. Because why not? Bats are cute and underestimated.
Currently the mod is mostly in complete state, yet some things are to be added in the future.
Contains:

And no, it’s not connected with Vesperians from Deepwoken, we didn’t even know about the existence of such a game before your mentions in the comments. The name for the race was taken from Vespertilionidae family of microbats.
I have lots of credits to give for all the works and creators, without whom this mod wouldn’t be possible…
First and foremost, huge thanks to vampycat237 for making awesome Crylik race, which was the main inspiration for this mod and the main reference for the sprites. Also it uses crylanoid.config to customize sprite animations and character behaviour, namely flight.
This mod is made with Skittles Basic Race Template by DrPvtSkittles.
Mod is fully compatible with Flower Crowns by blind_wind.
Also, credits go to these people for the different sprites and artwork used:
Broinkus (Draconis Race)
Cyan Sky Knight (The Saturnians)
LimitedListener (Dramatic deaths)
swarmdruid and Fafnya (Cutebound vampires)
graycatgrayhat (Logistics Frigate)
Kais (Placeable Dynamic FTL Drive)
WeebWing (Galaxy_in_Conflict)
And others whom I might forgot to mention
As always, please, feel free to report all the bugs and inconveniences that may appear.
