Do you love pets and think all these are useful ideas?

  1. No, this is a horrible idea. I'll turn you into goop.

    What's this talk of space bears with guns? I approve, though 7 feet is hardly large enough. It's probably just a cub. I need an 11 foot bear at least.

    Good suggestion though, I like the idea a lot.

    Because our nest-mates are unnaturally picky about their bling. :rolleyes:
    We have to learn to be discerning in our pursuit of precious materials.

    Personally, all I need to be happy is a good meal.

    I do believe that this is an amazing a idea! I would be able to cross breed dragons ( No offense King Brutor, but being a black dragon I like experimenting with....unusual things) with snakes, making for a more agile and poisonous dragon. This also means we can have pengons.

    We dragons do tend to be solitary except during mating season every few thousand years.... but occasionally we bump into eachother and talk. unless he's here ----> :fusrodah:

    Well, I tried to organize trivia night for the 2nd Tuesday of each month, but nobody else wanted to make the flight out.

    I tried but the bearpengons that i made just wouldn't shut up. they kept waking up the hatchlings again and again.

    Oh dear. I do hope they grow out of that phase soon.
    Though having to tend to the whim of hatchling wailing every night makes the prospect of my participation in the next season just a bit less pleasant each time I think about it.

    Oh yes indeed, I may not participate myself... oh what am i talking about i need offspring to carryout the "family" name. They should stop wailing anyways in about 342.934 years, so its not that bad.

  12. Great. I hate you now, you just made me want this game even more (i didn't think it would be possible!).

    But maybe you could get DNA from yourself like your epic hairstyle and chuck it on you pet's butt :rofl: .
    Also, maybe you could get lucky when stealing DNA and receive a giant piece of rhino DNA. Then you could clone it fully at the mutation thing.


    Keep up the good work!

    What the bloop. I get no alerts for this topic when it's dragonspam, and now I get one for Epicface's post...

    Sometimes this forum makes me wonder.

    That's a Serias problem you have there.

    Anywho, I approve of these pet Ideas. I'd like to see if you can also make your pets do all sorts of physical labor like mining, building etc and if you over work them you might cause a mini slave rebellion.

    Did you get an alert for my on-topic post?

    I approve of these Pet Ideas 110%!!! :up: *Imagines giving ALL of my Pets Axes... :viking: *

    *Falls from the ceiling*
    You called?
    I think its because i was ON TOPIC and NOT CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING, or maybe its because my nickname is Epic.
    Probably the latter. Thats the only reason I chose this name. Woot.
    So yea dragons, I bet you didnt get an alert from this now :DD

    Eh, I had my dragon-fun. Might as well contribute something of value.

    So, if this were theoretically developed, what assets would need to be created? (I mostly mean graphics)

    The Traits/Mutations you can find wouldn't need too much work, since regular monsters are procedurally generated already so could be their traits (with Dominant/Recessive traits being something akin to Common/Rare if you wanted to go there).
    But what about the stock creature for the pet? Is it a finite set of creatures specifically for pets, or can you capture any procedurally generated critter?

    If you use procedurally generated critters as the stock pet, wouldn't you need a "mature" form of those as well?
    And for equipment, you would need different overlay sprites for all the different morphologies.
