@lolslayer @CMAllen @davebertaud @rIKmAN thanks guys!
@hippyman All of the monster names are placeholders, and I hadn't noticed it before but I agree that they look like hyenas. Thanks mate.
@Ninety lol thanks. Trying to Compete with an AAA game like Spore is quite intimidating though.
@GrizzliusMaximus I've actually seen that tool before, but I don't think there are any auto-pixelart tools that are up to my standards. (Neural network Art might change my mind soon though)
@AlexInCube The pink color isn't actually required for the water. It just happened to be the color of the texture I used.
@HayManMarc That name is cute, but a little too vague in my humble opinion. I appreciate your help though!
@RookTKO Thanks, I hope changing the name won't reduce my chances of cult status
@Fredrik I like the name too tbh, but saying out loud as "Beese-ocket" annoys me way more than it should.
@zghaun @9EED I'm still alive, and ready to return to gamedev.
@Calvert Okay, first I have to respect you for typing out 500 words for a new name suggestion. Seriously, I admire your passion and dedication. With that being said, Dragon Seed really sounds like a turn-based medieval jRPG and doesn't convey the idea of the game that I want. Thanks again though. I'm glad you like my game enough to type that all out.
@laguniboy lol, the simplicity and weirdness of your comment made me chuckle. Thanks.
@tsufee thanks for checking my twitter
@Xennroth No demo any time soon, but thanks for your repeated check-ups on this thread. It's really encouraging to have a fan still checking up on this thread even a year after my last post. Appreciate it.
First, if you prefer watching instead of reading, here is a video update instead of a post update:
- GROWTH -
If you remember from an earlier video, I already have procedural shape-shifting between forms:
So the next logical development of GROWTH is:
- CROSS BREEDING -
So the first step was to make a UI (All stats are placeholder)
Now using the growth code, I average two monsters and they change like this:
And this is him walking:
Because it's fully procedural, some of the children are really weird looking. Like these two are kind of odd.
AND WITH THE NEW CROSS BREEDING FEATURE, I have decided to change the name. I wanted a name that was cheesy, nostalgic, 90's, and Super Nintendo-ish. So the new placeholder name is...
CrossBreeder X (Unless everyone hates it) Edit: Some one suggested "Socket Beast" and I actually quite like that name.
And finally, here is a teaser for the next update. Check out this fat jelly man (WIP)
Thanks for all of your comments guys and still checking this thread. Next update should be much sooner than it took the last one.
