New World
some may remember this old project I was working on: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=35158&p=1
I looked back at it one day and felt like I missed an opportunity. That game had some much potential. So here I am again! I'm making a NEW new world!
I have over 45 animals and 20 plants planned already! I've sprited 3 animals and 4 plants. I also have 8 locations to explore.
The game will have many possibilities such as filling up your journal, identifying species, and even getting up close and touching the animals! Some are friendly, some attack, so watch out! You can harvest resources from some animals and plants to by using your dart gun to kill them or by sampling parts. You can send samples to a research facility and they will find uses of the produce to help you on your journey! You can sell the produce to the market back on earth to earn money so you can by better dart guns or new equipment.
Every time I make progress on the game I will post the species' info and some sprites of them too. Later will come screenshots and then demos... then the final release.

Re: New World
Its time to meet one of the early creatures you will encounter, commonly in swamps.
The Spoonbug!
Spoonbug
Odonatus Scopus
Species: Insect
Rarity: Common in Area
Conservation Status: No Threat
A herbivore. Hovers close to the water to scoop up small plants and kelp or to feed off of the Buplats and the Lushpads. Commonly eaten by [ ] and some flying species.
It easily clings onto marsh plants with its twelve legs. Its curved body makes it slightly clumsy in the air, which is also why it flies so low to the ground. Its wings can hardly carry its own weight. The Spoonbug is also quite common in the jungle.
[ ] represents undiscovered species.
That's all for now! But I'll be back later today to introduce you to two plants.

Re: New World
Thank you guys!
Now for some common swamp plants...
Flowering Lushpad
Angiospus Lillium
Species: Water Lily
Rarity: Medium in Area
Conservation Status: Near Threatened
The pad on top absorbs the sunlight and passes the nutrients downwards. This is good for
the other marsh species because most underwater plants become dirty and frail
because of the murky water. [ ] use Lushpads to protect them from the sun, and also as a food source. Groups of [ ] swim under the Lushpads and feed on the roots.
[ ] also use the Lushpads to hop along
the ponds.
Common Buplat
Nymphaealus Amborella
Species: Kelp
Rarity: Common in Area
Conservation Status: No Threat
The bubble on top of Buplats are filled with air which lets it float on the surface. They collect the sun's energy with the top part, but not as well as a Lushpad so it's
roots aren't as fresh and green, making it a much less nourishing source of food for the [ ], causing a large abundence of Buplats in many swamps.
