Hi Derek!
A few things I can offer about your idea:
- Building the Stargate itself would not be too difficult. Getting a good texture on it would be essential, as it has to look old and authentic. Creating the liquid effect in the middle would be more difficult, along with the lighting effects that occur on avatar entry/linkage.
- Once it is built, getting the stargate into URU would be entirely dependent upon operators of third-party shards. Cyan would not accept something so non-canon, and Gehn shard sticks to MYST content exclusively from what I understand... as does Minkata. So Deep Island or TOC may be the only options for something like this.
- The idea to "have the gate link to somewhere special" is the tough part. Everyone will expect the Stargate to link somewhere.
Everyone will be very disappointed and frustrated if the thing only sits there with no interactivity, right? So: where does it take you?
