Important Stretch Goal Thoughts -- Pets?

From the original post

 

I don't mind the pets, but personally I would like to see an option in multiplayer where you can choose between:
1- Starting with your friends
2- Starting on random different planets than your friends. You then have to find each other. (and hopefully meet up one day)

Thank you for all the hard work guys!

 

Honestly, as long as the pet doesn't require a physical item to summon that takes up space in your inventory, I'm fine with it. Otherwise, I would suggest adding planes into the game.

 

I voted yes because... why not? But I't would be nice if you could use them for something, and I't would be more satisfying if you had to do a mission to get one. Rescue it from evil alien bandits or something

 

The problem Sonic cabbage is that we are not voting for whether we want to acquire them later in the game, we are voting on whether they should be in the game At All.

 

sounds fun, ye got my vote

 

Agreed 100%. I'm still assuming tamable monsters will be in, so pets shouldn't fight for you, finding stuff off of the ground would be a cool feature. It would be nice to hear a bark and talking to your dog to find out he picked up a piece of gold for you.

 

Is fishing in? I would take fishing over pets any day.

 

I think the best offer to give upon reaching 1 million would be to release the game. I mean you guys are gna be doing updates, thats an amazing number of supporters and were all dying to play the game.

 

They've been hinting for it to be post-release

 

Maybe... There will be another 1 Million Stretch Goal... I want to be Impressed as they already did with the Other Goals.

 

Just leaving my ideas behind for what I think would be needed for pets as a stretch goal:

- Breeding
- Different evolution based on adaption of planet they are breed on.

• You can breed different types of pets:
• Fighers
• Carriers

- They would need to have some sort of use. (Deliver stuff to base for you, fight along side as a companion, intimidate monsters, go mental when they see fossil bones ;-) )

Good job so far developers!

*edit for formatting*

 

Starting pets sounds awesome, but they should not be limited to non combat. Each race should have unique pets, and a couple of them to choose from, or at least some sort of pet creator, similar to the character creator. Only for your startpet, of course.
Other that then, I think

has stated everything important what I would have said too. So yeah, the idea is great, I'd love to see them ingame!

 

FISHING would be an Better Stretch Goal than Pets! I would LUVE be in a Boat with my Friends Fishing and Talking!

 

And drinking cider.

 

Yes to pets that have some useful skills, not just a wandering and pointless companion.

 

I know, right? Fishing is my favorite minigame in any game. It's relaxing, fun, and serves a purpose.

 

It's very Social Friendly. I love every social addiction! Pets are NOT Social *burn them*

 

I'm ok with this as long as they don't just follow you around. I'm not talking about combat (Though it'd be cool to get some new ones later on in the game that actually do fight), but what about able to carry some of your stuff back to a chest at a home point or something? You could also make them say something from time to time and make them communicate with other pets. All in all, there's a lot you could do with a pet system.

 

I could see them being cool, I know that lots of people I'll be playing with would like them, but personally, no. I prefer to travel solo in most games, so its a pass for me.
