Race Meet the Oscura

Well, the novakid will have a slight glow around them, so I don't see why doing a black glow would be out of the question. It just kind of seems unnecessary and doesn't really fit them all that well. They're oil, not black holes.

 

Wow, I'm quite surprised how high the Oscura are on the suggestions vote list. Thanks everyone.

 

Oh, also, here's the direct link to the suggestion page.

Thanks again for all the support so far.

 

hell I'd play as sentient vomit

 

They're pretty cool but I don't think I'd shake their hands to close a business deal. Would be at the Sink for hours trying to clean that gunk off!

 

Man. More people need for vote for my favorite blobs!

 

Thank you. I appreciate the sentiments.

 

a really good concept for a race: races i said were missing were a rock race, a dragon race, and a blob race. it covers why your character would want to leave, lore, models, weapons, EVERYTHING. but a problem you made early on is that you said they had an advantage over other races. maybe that could be changed so as to explain how thay regenerate in their respawn animation, but otherwise they won't incorporate races which were supposed to have an advantage over others


love this idea though! keep up the good work!

 

slime in zoot suits is awesome, works well with other current races. Definitely support implementation

 

Goo-creatures or people are definitely an emergent race in sci-fi and/or fantasy these days. This would fit in well in the current world I think, especially considering there is already a tar biome.

 

Well this is one of my favorite suggestions so far. I have a distinct love of slimes and goo monsters and I would definitely play as a mobster blob

 

Oh yes yes yes, this game needs some gangsters in it to make trading interesting.

 

i'll get outfits from them for business deals

 

This looks amazing and I love the respawn animation

 

Wow, thanks all of you. It makes me happy to see people still maintaining an interest in this race.

 

We mentioned it a few times in the usual place and I think it made a couple people look at the thread.

 

aka jack noire? lol

 

Long post ahead:

And here are all these files plus the hair sprites and the incomplete oscura.species file. The species file already contains the colors and the list of files for the hair, but not recipes (the file has human recipes as a placeholder).

Right now, we need weapons, armors and a ship.

 

Which I think should probably draw influence from early Skyscrapers.

 

I was thinking a limo-style ship with huge exhaust pipes
