Hi guys, new creatures for you
You can see two family type. One is the Floater that is going to be a passive entity that float around the world. Players could use as transportation system by grappling on it. Most of them could be massive but the size is still in progress and we are going to do some prototype. Some of them could have an effect on death that could be simple or devastating.
The other one is the Worm. On this one the size could be variable as well, we were considering to test some small and huge sizes. The creature is generally aggressive and quite nasty. We are exploring some options on those as well.
As always, more to comeā¦ stay tuned and pick your favourite
But could you imagine walking past it and suddenly one of the blocks right next to you just start splitting appart into smaller blocks and then contnue to try to eat you?
By the looks of the designs, they are just laying in wait for a hapless adventurer to wander by. I doubt they will create tunnels, what with the extra server resources it would take to keep them active even when no one is nearby, and coupled with the world regeneration. Iād say that was pretty much a no go (even though it would be nice if they did!).
that is really huge in dimensions and that leaves huge tunnel systems behind. iād also could imagine to ride or tame one of them and use them as some sort of āworking-forceā for underground projects.
I think creatures donĀ“t even spawn if there arenĀ“t any player in render distance. I also think that creatures despawn if they arenĀ“t in render distance of any player entity for a while.
So the additional resource drain should be minimal (dependent on how frequently these worms spawn).
Some clarification on this and the behavior of the worm from a dev would definitely be nice.
Iāll admit, I hadnāt considered that aspect! Iām still having a little trouble wrapping my brain around how it would work though, but thatās just me operating on 3 hours sleep
Woah! Awesome looking art this time around! My favorite floaters are 10 and 11, and number 6 is interesting as well. Is that one supposed to look like a plant but can float off at any time? That would be really cool.
As for the worms, I like the ideas for 3, 4, and 11. 11 seems interesting because it could possibly be part of a dungeon or cave system, but would come out of the ground and attack.

Have you thought about something like a Jellyfish (cloudgatherer) from āDie Elfenā written by Bernhard Hennen?
Itās a Jellyfish like flying creature. Passive and they built ships around it. So you can tame one but it is really hard.
I think this would be a very neat feature for .
I like 10 ā¦ Imagining a race that builds their cities upon these floaters and go about their goings on entirely co-existing with the floaters ā¦
PS: yes I was around in the orange age, if any yaāll watch āplayed itā (something like that) they did a review of Oort and bumped into me wearing my Orange jumpsuit ā¦ (Hahha just reminded me āOrange is the new blackā ā¦
