Just a short update tonight; I foolishly purchased myself a distraction… mad, impetuous fool that I am.
Haven’t been able to put too much time into it, but you can bet it’s going to be distracting me from completing SoL matches this week 
With my trusty sidekick Gdaygirl by my side, I installed and fired it up. There, swimming in the tide pool, the aptly named Idono began its existence as a species. (“What should we call it?” “I don’t know.” “Okay, Idono it is”).
Before it lest the waters, this herbivorous little bugger went through using flagella and then cilia to move, before upgrading to legs. It kept its little rear-mounted jet for speed boosts too.
For defense, twin spikes flank its filter tentactle mouth; it seems to have lost the poisong spitter it had before it grew legs, but the two shoulder growths are both capable of an electric discharge to discourage predators.
One neat discovery is that they expanded the creature creation engine to encapsulate pretty much every aspect of the game, including houses, cars, boats, and aircraft like the A-1 Tailspinner here.
The blue rings and blobs actually light up quite brightly, it’s a pretty darn neat effect.
All in all I’m quite impressed with the whole engine, and even the little carnivores are quite cute
