Biodiversity - Expanding upon LC's fauna and their relationship with their habitats.

[fathom spire]

i LOVE the ideas everyone has don't get me wrong

i love people latching onto this concept and making shit with it

but I'm worrief we'll make so many that eventually there'll be too much to make

[tight moat]

→

Hold this arrow

[sly sail]

thing is, in one day we got 4 "maybe posible" ideas

so we are kinda full of em for a while

[cobalt turret]

Honestly, Masa's idea train will continue until we have 3 variants of all creatures so you can then choose from there what has priority in design and release

[fathom spire]

yeah, i feel like we should hone in on the ones we find the most interesting and polish them up

which is what I've been doing with the lung dragon and ogopogo

[cobalt turret]

MAsa has this OCD thing where Masa will internally scream if the other creatures dont have their list filled 😭

[sly sail]

i love both girlies(flowery mainly cause she's pretty much my child, and aloe is pretty nice too, love them)

[cobalt turret]

Aloe is Masa's girl ngl

Also the Aloe Vera Bracken & the Flowery Bracken should have the 'Bracken' part removed from their name

[sly sail]

Flowerbeast and Aloeverine

Flowery is mainly an adjective

so it cant go alone

and aloe vera cant go alone by itself as it is a plant

as Brackens are pretty big Ferns

[tawny herald]

I think flocks of species would be cool

only to specific ones tho

[cobalt turret]

Bouquet (Flowergirl)
Medicine (Aloevera)
Fun Guy (Mushroomman)

?

[tawny herald]

like mama thumper would roll with their babies

[cobalt turret]

The in brackets are the internal names like how Bracken is internally called a flowerman

[sly sail]

i believe flowergirl would be a pretty good name for a ghost girl variant

like those girls that throw flower petals on weddings and stuff

[cobalt turret]

Doesnt the bride do that on a wedding?

[fathom spire]

one of my ideas for a masked variant's a cult that hangs out near the fire exits on late game moons

[tight moat]

I'm going to strangle chat as a whole if y'all can't settle on a single variant per entity at most

[sly sail]

thats pretty aggresive, dont bracken yourself

[fathom spire]

please no lmao

[cobalt turret]

We're supposed to cut down to 1 variant?--

[fathom spire]

nono, at least one for each

we can do one for each

but

again

[tight moat]

start at 1 for each

[fathom spire]

clutter

[tight moat]

because y'all are delightfully ambitious to a fault

[fathom spire]

i feel like if we do that we're doing it forcefully

[sly sail]

tbh im mainly trying to get the ones i suggested to work

or aloe

[fathom spire]

the best of ideas happen you naturally think of a subversion to a mechanic

[tawny herald]

we should do one for like 5 at first

[fathom spire]

not when you try to force create a variant

[fathom spire]

I'm literally trying not to be though

[tight moat]

just for the time being, I would suggest tempering the list

[sly sail]

Flowery happened when i thought of a passive bracken and a trading mechanic

[fathom spire]

I've literally been saying i don't want 549572 brackens or 26632 slimes n shit

[fathom spire]

i have been trying to suggest that

[tight moat]

tln this ain't about you specifically lol

[fathom spire]

lmao

[fathom spire]

well, i am the op

[tight moat]

homie I know lol

[fathom spire]

oh sorry i thought you meant all of us fosjfmsnf

[cobalt turret]

Aloe Vera came up in Masa's mind when Masa was thinking of it randomly, as well as how chiropractors loosen up your body to 'heal' it

[fathom spire]

i def think some people have an endless amount of ideas, which is nice

but yeah I'm trying to clear the list a bit

just, trying not to completely bulldoze people's ideas

[sly sail]

i could try to give some ideas for the current idea's looks

[fathom spire]

because some are great

[cobalt turret]

We have a list in the.. pins? That has all the variants, or atleast until that date's update of lists. You could pick the special flowers from there to start off with

Heheh, special flowers

[sly sail]

the flashlight thingies?

[subtle oriole]

hmm

[sly sail]

glow lillies?

[fathom spire]

I'm also afraid of being perceived as mean or controlling

[sly sail]

not at all

this is mainly your project

[tight moat]

sometimes you gotta grab the rooster by the neck

[sly sail]

its normal to have you try and get it right

[fathom spire]

yeah, we have them there

at least the ones i didn't reject

thinking of removing honey feeder ghhghggh

[subtle oriole]

I'm watching this thread now >:3 behave

[cobalt turret]

Speak your mind and make your limits known. Masa crafts ideas for you, not take over your project. Think of Masa as your car, with you holding the brakes pretty much lol. ^^

Hi mama

[tight moat]

Take this list and, for now just try and pick a single idea per entity for the ones that have ideas so far

[fathom spire]

sorry if we caught your attention!! we're just yapping a lot, nothing bad going on (i think)

[tight moat]

I will LITERALLY swear

I'll cuss

[fathom spire]

FUCK

[cobalt turret]

We're just making a goldmine of ideas here

:D

[sly sail]

from which is hard to escape

ideas block the exit

[tight moat]

luckily you don't need to come up with ideas for the giants

because there's already a mod doing that

[cobalt turret]

Look, the more we yap, the more it will get the attention of the actual people who can code things in 😭

[sly sail]

true

[cobalt turret]

Masa's still idea crafting for giants because its fun

However Masa now needs to hold back the urge to talk about said ideas

😭

[sly sail]

we cant keep blocking the Idea Mine with ideas

[cobalt turret]

Yee

[sly sail]

we cant keep on digging while we wont be able to get out cause of the dirt and ideas we dug

[cobalt turret]

Okay okay but uh

1 variant for all monsters to start off with right now. Masa feels like this is mainly a job for the OP to choose these imo

[sly sail]

indeed

[cobalt turret]

Masa doesn't want to help in on this because Masa would obivously just say 'lol do Masa's ideas' p much.

[sly sail]

but do we even got manticoil ideas on the list?

[cobalt turret]

Nope But Masa has a idea for all creatures atm that Masa could yap about whenever necessary

[tawny herald]

i think every couple of updates once we balance the monsters out then we release a new set

[fathom spire]

yeah!! xu's mod is what inspired this whole thing <3

[tight moat]

y'know what

reasonable

[fathom spire]

like, I actively have never thought of what i would do for giants cuz Xu's already doing them

anyway

imma work on ... reading through this whole thing

thanks for keeping the thread active lmao

i think we might be the most reacted thread on mod ideas? not counting the pinned one

fills my heart with glee and silly feelings

[tight moat]

there's a lotta stinkers in mod ideas

[fathom spire]

ngl i am not coming up with variants for every single enemy myself

atleast a 4th of the OGs i think work interestingly enough by themselves

but that's why i have this thread

so masa and adri can make the ideas for me

(jk)

[fathom spire]

lotta bangers too though

(also are you saying we're not a stinker? )

[tight moat]

yeh!

you're not a stinker but you've yet to prove banger rights either

for that you must have

PRODUCT

[fathom spire]

well i have art, that's as much as i can do by myself lmao

[tight moat]

it's a good step in the right direction

[fathom spire]

on my puter

reading time

also imma change my nickname rq

alright, i have added a little emoji to signify which ones i prioritize for development (the simplest, or most interesting ones)

and also an emoji that says which entities work together with other entities (and which one they work together with)

i think aloe, bowler brain, light bug and ogopogo are the simplest and most interesting ones to implement

mama thumper's a bit too complex, same with flowery and fun guy

bloat bug's are cool but would not appear too often

lung dragon, forge behemoth, honey feeder, etc etc etc are either too complex right now or a bit too much of a side-feature to be included

alrigh now time to read lmao

oh dude that sounds like the snare flea bobbit worm idea we had

that was my original interpretation of it from the concept masa (i think, hard ot keep track of) came up with yeah

like, an inside bracken that heals you but becomes hyper aggressive if someone takes you away from them

sort of like the witch in left4dead2 aggressive

where it'll chase you around and such

we should figure out how it holding you would work in singleplayer though

like, i guess you could be given a prompt to escape, and then given a few seconds before she immediately aggros on you

again, i feel like aloe would be more interesting on the inside

fun guy's already an outside bracken (flowery is one too)

plus bracken ai is real weird outside if the hypothetical coder were to use it as a basis for these

[cobalt turret]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-mine-work-gif-13956205

[fathom spire]

ye ye, my thoughts exactly

[cobalt turret]

Aloe is Masa's concept Masa... uhh.. thinks/

The Behemoth definitely is

And.. the Bobbit Worm, yuh.

[fathom spire]

i feel like if she heals you she should have a downside though, cuz it's a bit too forgiving if you can just let yourself be taken by her to get back to full health

i mean, you could do that

but there should be something to play around with that

[sly sail]

maybe she's more "Aggresive" the later it is on the day

like, you could not get to ship in time

cause she's there carrying you around

[cobalt turret]

• You get dragged to her favorite room, which can be very unforgiving especially if you dont know the route the Aloe took
• The Aloe will be aggressive to anyone near the injured target

[fathom spire]

you mean design as in drawing, game design or actual implementation into the game (making a model coding it etc etc)?

yeah, that'd be cool!

[sly sail]

thing should be to have it ready for coding first, like, the concept

both mechanical and how it looks

[fathom spire]

i feel like variants that aren't mutualistic shouldnt spawn together at all

except for that low chance you mentioned

[cobalt turret]

There was also the idea of her looking identical to the Bracken but thats impossible if we wanna make her feminine and her own shape/thing that really sets the 'subspecies' mood rather than just 'bracken but good'

[sly sail]

not identical tho

like, she would have glowing eyes

and could be easily mistaken in the dark

also maybe the aloe on her back having a bigger siluette than her

[cobalt turret]

True, that could fool someone

[fathom spire]

i actually thought of a funny internal/alternate name for fun guy

mushy boy

[cobalt turret]

Dems mushy boy

[sly sail]

the mushy boy comes for you

[tight moat]

I mean getting into the actual game as a finished product

the further you spread thin your effort, the harder it'll be for anything to be finished

[fathom spire]

https://tenor.com/view/jojos-bizarre-adventure-hol-horse-stardust-crusaders-gif-5960180

aye aye sir

[sly sail]

thing is that we dont have a coding person yet, so that part of the development can be hard

[cobalt turret]

We still need a coder for that. We currently are a bunch of idea theorists & fan artists 😭

[fathom spire]

(thank you for looking into our deranged concept fest as an outsider and breaking this to us btw)

[sly sail]

i could try and look up the creature's species names

cause they have em

[fathom spire]

also sorry i replied kinda heatedly before i was just tryina balance family time with texting and it was NOT working lmao

[sly sail]

that's why i know bracken is just a fern and thumper is a shark

[tight moat]

👍

[sly sail]

no problem at all

[cobalt turret]

Hey uhh.. which creatures dont have a singular concept yet?

Asking for a friend

cough

[sly sail]

as singular you mean any?

[tight moat]

Hygro

actually one sec

[fathom spire]

i think we can come up with a few variants but honestly i think unless we have the absolute outmost banger in mind we shouldn't go past 2 variants :P

[tight moat]

lemme just compile a list

[fathom spire]

or for some (jester hgg) we shouldnt go over 1

mainly rare vanilla entities yknow

i feel like for brackens and thumpers and bugs n shit it makes sense if we wanna add variants cuz theyre common as fuck

plus they have depth you can itterate upon

but i feel most one-note entities or most incredibly rare ones really don't need variants that much

(bees, slimes, jester, coil head)

[sly sail]

thing is, we dont know the origin of nutcrackers and jesters

and either the origin of ghost girl

[fathom spire]

masa suggested a big manticoil that could pick you up

also whatever y'all are talking abt rn i cannot see lmao, i'm looking at messages from 40 minutes ago

[cobalt turret]

Fair

[sly sail]

its harder to come up with variants when you dont know the origins of things

that's how i came up with my flowery and the nesting thumper

[fathom spire]

sounds good sounds good

[fathom spire]

mhm, thats my reason for having docs of these things

[cobalt turret]

Ah, is it bad to say Mas aalready has a few variant ideas for Ghost girl & Jester? xD

[fathom spire]

so i can detail intended behaviors and stuff

[sly sail]

i believe Monty had one for ghost girl

[fathom spire]

oh. well yeah unless some magical, all powerful, handsome and great coder comes by and offers their help i don't think we can get anything ACTUALLY in lmao

[sly sail]

and i believe i read something bout an always active jester and a not moving one

[fathom spire]

my ass does not know unity

[fathom spire]

they're probably weapons or smth

[fathom spire]

nah dw, i have one for ghost girl too

[cobalt turret]

Masa's planning to learn Unity but entities feel very intimidating rn so Masa's starting with moons first

[fathom spire]

but he's sort of just a re-skin with some slightly different behaviors

[fathom spire]

someone said that yeah

but they ain't my priority rn

[sly sail]

i think i heard a bit of how ghost girl works

[fathom spire]

also, they're not animals as far as i know

[sly sail]

like, it it more aggresive the further quota you got

[fathom spire]

so im automatically not as interested in making shit for those

[sly sail]

like, its not like other monsters that just spawn

[fathom spire]

yeah i dont think there's an entity guide or smth like there are for moons

which is why for most of the designs i've made (both game design and art) i've tried to stick to the same body types, etc to the OGs

[tight moat]

   Snare Flea → Bobbit Worm
 Hoarding Bug → Light Bug, Bloat Bug
    Hygrodere → 
 Spore Lizard → The Pit
   Nutcracker → sword wielder, gatling gunner
    Coil-Head → Does Rolling Giant count?
 Masked Mimic → 
   Ghost Girl → The Hat Man
Bunker Spider → There are ideas
      Bracken → Fun Guy, Plantmom
      Thumper → Nesting Thumper
       Jester → 

    Eyeless Dog → They just kinda freestyled on this
  Forest Keeper → "GiantSpecimens"
Earth Leviathan → Water Leech, Lung Dragon
    Baboon Hawk → 
   Circuit Bees → Circuit Termites/Ants
Roaming Locusts → 
     Manticoils → ```

[fathom spire]

so whoever makes it can use the vanilla models to make the variants

[cobalt turret]

Look

Aslong as Masa keeps helping out the modders, there is a chance that Masa will get helped back

[fathom spire]

mama thumper's a definite yes, but not a priority

[sly sail]

what do you mean "plant mom" is that aloe vera?

[fathom spire]

it's a bit too complex of an idea to realistically get it out as one of the first entities

[cobalt turret]

Yes

[fathom spire]

either aloe or flowery yeah

[cobalt turret]

Aloe would 100% be plant mom

[fathom spire]

counts for both ig

[cobalt turret]

Flowery feels more like the child LMAO

[sly sail]

flowery is more of a friend you dont get together with commonly, but isnt a person you hate

[fathom spire]

(also tilted we have one of these in pinned lmao)

[tight moat]

I just don't know what "mama thumper" is

[fathom spire]

oh uh

[tight moat]

this list has entities without variants listed as well, main difference

[sly sail]

she's a nesting thumper

[fathom spire]

so basically it's just a thumper that spawns outside that stays close to its nest

where there are eggs n shit

[fathom spire]

ah makes sense

[sly sail]

i changed mama for nesting as obviusly not every individual is a female

but mama still got into the list

[tight moat]

edited

[fathom spire]

you can steal the eggs, wait a quota and you just get a baby thumper you can use as a tool basically

[tight moat]

wuh....

[cobalt turret]

Eyeless Dog → They just kinda freestyled on this
HEY, Masa wrote out concepts okay! >:C

[fathom spire]

well, tool as in functionally

[sly sail]

baby will grow in maybe 2 quotas if not dead by then

baby will get aggresive then

as not a baby anymore

[fathom spire]

it would let out a roar that can scare away entites that aren't actively in line of sight of the baby thumper

[sly sail]

(kinda like tall birds in dont starve together)

[fathom spire]

but there's a cooldown blablabla

[fathom spire]

yeah thats the idea

[sly sail]

imagine grabbing the baby like a gun to have it roar

you just take it from the ground and aim it

[fathom spire]

it's just this little guy you carry around in your hands that can be used to fend off some common entities like spiders, hoard bugs, snare fleas etc

[cobalt turret]

The baby part of the concept was gonna be concept for another mod no?

[fathom spire]

not sold on the actual monster, moreso sold on the baby concept

[sly sail]

i dont really know

[fathom spire]

nah that was a whole egg expansion some guy came up with

[tight moat]

would love to kidnap a child

[fathom spire]

like, they wanted to implement eggs and cross breeding and shit

[tight moat]

oh that's doin' too much

[fathom spire]

which was reaaally cool but waaay out of the scope of this mod

[fathom spire]

ye

[sly sail]

you would kidnap the eggies

maybe 1 or 2 per nest

[fathom spire]

i want enemy interactions not monster rancher

or digimon

[sly sail]

not worth much(minimum 0, max 10, averaging to 5)

[fathom spire]

anyway yeah

[cobalt turret]

Nothing's too much, there's always a evolution

Wesley was the first dude to make actual interactions within moons and custom interior effects. :3

But yeah we're too not-a-coder to fulfill any promise of such caliber.

[fathom spire]

i feel like mama thumper could spawn on most moons (not endgame ones though), just be extremely rare

it'd be a reason to go back to more chill moons on earlier quotas

[sly sail]

i first thought of her only spawning on desert ones

like assurance and offence

[fathom spire]

cuz usually when im playing w friends we do quota 1 and 2 on normal moons and then do like 4 straight quotas on dine rend and titan lmao

[sly sail]

being assurance her most probable

[torpid summit]

concept: stealing eggs and putting them in a terrarium on a ship and its purely decorative

[sly sail]

as regular thumpers prefer offense

[fathom spire]

gay baby jail real??

[torpid summit]

ITS REAL

[sly sail]

dont think they are small enough for a terrarium

[fathom spire]

oh fr?

[torpid summit]

thats the fun part: you disregard the logic and do it anyways

[fathom spire]

i imagined baby thumpers to be like

hand size

[fathom spire]

you just pull out the good ol shrink ray

[sly sail]

maybe puppy sized

like, maybe golden retriever puppy

[torpid summit]

TRUE

[sly sail]

actually there is a mod named small company that has one

its in beta i think

[torpid summit]

ive played it before, very silly

[fathom spire]

so you can just hold that mf on one hand like the guns from that rick and morty game

[fathom spire]

oh yeah i saw that

v cool

[torpid summit]

but yeah i think egg stealing should be allowed for decorative purposes

[cobalt turret]

Baby thumper starts thumping on the terrariums glass wall

Please let me out im hot wheels not hot steals

[sly sail]

maybe you can keep the egg shell(the shark like egg shell)

[fathom spire]

i mean you could just make it so you can store the egg inside the fish bowl

[torpid summit]

was just abt to suggest that

[fathom spire]

ez

[sly sail]

eggs would be like these(top)

[fathom spire]

aw!! like sting ray eggs

[sly sail]

maybe a bit different as they are not underwater and can not be anchored

[tight moat]

feeding babies to the company is 6x more valuable than the eggshell left behind

[sly sail]

DO NOT SELL THE BABIES

[fathom spire]

you're so fucking evil

let's do it

[sly sail]

im in

[torpid summit]

we can't sell the children the company doesn't like organic material nearly as much as inorganic materialllllllll

[fathom spire]

put the shark in jeb's mouth cmon

[fathom spire]

explain beehives then

[sly sail]

tell thumpie to stay still on the selling counter

[fathom spire]

[tight moat]

the hives are yummy sweet

it's not nutritious

[torpid summit]

Circuit bees, they're made of inorganic compounds that are conductive

[sly sail]

thumpie is a yummy meal then

[tight moat]

also beeswax probably

[torpid summit]

i.e. copper and, theoretically, gold

[sly sail]

i believe organic material is also conductive

[tight moat]

gold is very conductive

[cobalt turret]

At this point we can just do a Lethal Company genocide run

Steal bracken flower this, steal beehives that, ranch a baby thumper into stonks there, yoink a mudpuppy's tail orb then

[sly sail]

as bodies have so much water

[fathom spire]

YESS

[sly sail]

Lethal Farming

[torpid summit]

water isnt organic fun fact

[fathom spire]

TAKE THE CROC'S BALLS

[cobalt turret]

LMAO

[fathom spire]

wait that sounded wrong

[torpid summit]

LMAO?

[cobalt turret]

PIN THAT

[fathom spire]

[sly sail]

water's not, but the stuff made of it is, like humans, jellyfish and stuff

[fathom spire]

don't let xu see that

[cobalt turret]

Resident fan artist gets shame pinned by their artist of inspiration 2024 colorized

[torpid summit]

yeah but don't you think it'd be a little weird for the company to accept beehives for near the same price as cash registers and gold bars if they didn't contain inorganic substances to conduct the circuit bee electricity in an efficient manner

[tight moat]

It is when I piss it

[torpid summit]

thats because it has CARBOHYDROGEN COMPOUNDS HAT!!!!!!!

[sly sail]

thing is, there is no bees at company or near it, and are hard to get(maybe) so they may have a high value

[fathom spire]

wait lazo i just checked your image history on here and i did not realize you were the guy with the goat lethalsona

[tight moat]

DAMN RIGHT BABEYYYYYYYY

[fathom spire]

cool shit, guy

[torpid summit]

hello thats me ya

ty!

"goat lethalsona guy" new nickname

[fathom spire]

[tight moat]

I made an edit of that goatsona with an unzipped manchest

[torpid summit]

you DID do that and then i sort of expanded that in an unrelated lil piece

[tight moat]

Not a piece I've seen

[torpid summit]

no u have i posted it in the Other Server™️

it was the small chibi one

[tight moat]

maybe I'm blind

ohhh

that pic is cute, he go mlem

[torpid summit]

he do go mlem

[fathom spire]

alright, i got 30 more minutes to go till i have to go to sleep

anything in particular we might wanna discuss?

i'm still mad i couldnt come up with a forge behemoth design but i'll probably take care of that in an aggie.io with some friends later

[cobalt turret]

Kinda cooked rn ngl

However Masa does want to propose a manticoil & locust concept

[torpid summit]

i have a vision but its hard to execute rn and I only got an hour 30 before i have to sleep so I dont look sleep deprived tomorrow

[cobalt turret]

Just the concept tho, no mechanics

[torpid summit]

do tell

[fathom spire]

sure! could be cool

[cobalt turret]

'Quad Bats' for Manticoils, 'Spider Swarm' for Locusts

[fathom spire]

we do got a locust concept in the circuit termites though

so we could go for a manticoils one

[cobalt turret]

Isnt that a bee concept?

[fathom spire]

oo okok, lemme hear that one

[fathom spire]

ngl i never thought of them as separate entities

like, locusts i just kinda saw as ambiance, never as an actual thing to be added onto

but i do wanna hear your idea though

[fathom spire]

tomorrow's good then! no rush

[cobalt turret]

They live, breathe and are biology! So therefore, they must gain love

[fathom spire]

also heads up, got a final exam on thursday, so i'll try to be less active lmao

[cobalt turret]

Fair lmao

[sly sail]

me too, like, not much to do as they are too small and dont have much to them, bees are small too, but bees have their hive and are dangerous so

[fathom spire]

coming back to this a friend just sent me some ideas of how it could look like (they're all yugioh cards lmao)

[cobalt turret]

So basically, Quadbats and Spider Swarms are still ambient in a way, though can be harmful/tied to something depending on elaborate concept design another day.--

THE FIRST ONE

[torpid summit]

that first one is literally the vibe my brain created

what's aloe's whole thing btw

[fathom spire]

aloe on her way to pick your fat ass up

[sly sail]

she's a bracken that carries you to heal you

[fathom spire]

she's a friendly-esque bracken

[cobalt turret]

Santchin Bracken but she gonna heal you

[torpid summit]

okay i love her will be drawing her immediately

[sly sail]

thing is you might mistake her for the actual bracken indoors

[fathom spire]

she goes after low health employees and grabs them, takes them to her favorite spot and nurses them back to health

[cobalt turret]

PLEASE DONT MAKE HER YOLKED THAT SHOULD BE THE FLOWERY BRACKEN 😭

[fathom spire]

but if they escape or are taken away from her she gets mad and becomes hyper aggressive

or just, aggressive

[torpid summit]

SHE CAN BE YOLKED AND FLOWERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fathom spire]

ye

[fathom spire]

IS FLOWERY SUPPOSED TO BE YOLKED?

[torpid summit]

LET HER LIVE OUT HER DREAMS

wait fellas im ILLITERATE

[sly sail]

aggresive with whoever took the patient

[fathom spire]

yeah

[cobalt turret]

LOOK MASAS NOT SAYING THAT BUT FLOWERY DEFFO HAS THE PERSONALITY FOR IT 😭

[sly sail]

i dont think so, she doesnt carry people at all

[fathom spire]

also we literally almost doubled our messages today

just wanna throw that out there

[torpid summit]

WHAT'S FLOWERY'S THING

[cobalt turret]

OUTDOOR BRACKEN

[sly sail]

she just nappity snaps necks

[cobalt turret]

SNAPS UR NECK

[fathom spire]

i am not fully sure myself so i'll let adri explain

[cobalt turret]

POLLINATE HER TO MAKE HER FRIENDLY

[sly sail]

outdoors bracken

[cobalt turret]

FLOWER.

[torpid summit]

sorry you've mentioned brackens its over. i love brackkens,

[sly sail]

you can befriend her

[fathom spire]

what abt fun guy fun guy's my dude i made fun guy what do you think of fu

[sly sail]

if you give her things to fidget and stay close to her you can slow time a bit

[torpid summit]

gripping your shoulders. tell me about him

[sly sail]

so you can carry more stuff to ship

[fathom spire]

all you need to know is he's the guy in the thumbnail

and that he's shy

[sly sail]

like, from a crew of 4, 1 needs to stay with her(flowery)

[fathom spire]

he takes over entities and makes them more dangerous (augments them)

[cobalt turret]

Look out of the dating sim Bracken & Flowery definitely are Trapper & Huntress and Aloe & Fun Guy definitely are Spirit & Wraith

Why that game specifically? Shut up masa is tired 😭

[fathom spire]

LITERALY HITTING YM TABLE (POSITIVE)

if you make eye contact he shrinks into a little mushroom (compresses his own body to be smaller) and hides

[sly sail]

she supports, buffs dmg and heals

and can revive

[torpid summit]

fellas what if I pick up the fun guy. what then. im stealing this fella,

[fathom spire]

but if you manage to corner him (or just get reaaaal close) you can infect yourself with him

[cobalt turret]

And she has a pistol incase you wanna find out the rest

[sly sail]

(or if you wanna bully some widows...)

your vision gets blurry and you basically get the tzp buff

oh mymessage got blocked by automod lmao

[sly sail]

you could do current health instead

but a 50%

[fathom spire]

you'd die in 5 minutes but would have 5 minutes to do a ton of stuff

[torpid summit]

oopsie

[fathom spire]

hmm maybe

[cobalt turret]

Time for the staff to witness the brainrot in this chat 😭

[sly sail]

maybe time for zeekers to find us, we are a gold mine(joke)

[fathom spire]

i think because it auto detected it as a death threat lmao

[fathom spire]

zeekers is on a whole different level bro that mf made nutcrackers scary

[cobalt turret]

Zeekers turns us into a gold mine interior

[sly sail]

thing is he made lategame harder and easier at the same time, like

[fathom spire]

anyway yeah

thats our brackens rn

[torpid summit]

i love ALL of them

[sly sail]

nutcrackers are a nuisance if you dont know what to do

[torpid summit]

literally collecting them in my arms theyre my favoureites now

[sly sail]

but if you know what to do can be a gold mine

[fathom spire]

just wait till i draw aloe and flowery

[torpid summit]

if you draw them you will end up with fanart immediately

[sly sail]

im still dead on the fact flowery likes to use scrap as accesories

[fathom spire]

i like that aspect yeah

[cobalt turret]

[tight moat]

sexual dimorphism where the female brackens live outside in lovely nature and will absolutely fucking brutalize the male brackens who have adapted to hide indoors so they don't get crushed by their beautiful wives

[fathom spire]

[sly sail]

Girlies going crazy over pretty forest

gotta protect forest

[torpid summit]

basically you just told me how to design my only fem bracken from my list thank you hat

taking notes right the fuck now

[fathom spire]

it would be super fucking funny if flowery brackens if encountered with a vanilla one would just straight up brutalize them

[torpid summit]

but then i would be SAD

[tight moat]

The reason indoor bracken back off when you stare them down is because that's just their natural response to female bracken

[sly sail]

Flowery is not joking on protecting her home

[fathom spire]

brackens are actually really aggressive to eachother which is why there's so few of them (oaaa the looore waaaa)

[torpid summit]

i assume they're loners until like. Mating Season™️

[fathom spire]

goddammit you idiots are winning me over on flowery.

and that's when a group of brackens is called a grove

[sly sail]

can i share an interesting twitter account i found? has a half bracken scavenger/employee

[fathom spire]

oo show show

[torpid summit]

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ACCOUNT UR TALKIGN ABt

[sly sail]

i like their mini comics

beeter

[torpid summit]

beeter my befavourited

[sly sail]

@CondesChaos over on twitter

[tight moat]

they do it like frogs

where the tiny lil man has to just like, not jumpscare the female

because they're so fucking small and they'll just die

[torpid summit]

not startling the fem bracken in question as to not die

id die immediately because im used to the male brackens

[sly sail]

thing is, why brackens live indoors in actual lore?

arent they plants and need sunlight?

[tight moat]

no

[torpid summit]

they're carnivores

[tight moat]

they have plant camoflauge

[torpid summit]

true

[tight moat]

they're like stickbugs

[sly sail]

i believe brackens are actually pretty big Ferns

[tight moat]

I think you're WRONG

[sly sail]

like, its part of their scientific name

[torpid summit]

No they're explicitly stated to be vertabrates

they're animals

[tight moat]

could be plants with bones I guess

[torpid summit]

I think

[sly sail]

maybe convergent evolution to have vertebrae

they are pretty red, but kinda like beetroot

[torpid summit]

that they are a result of some sort of vertabrate and parasitic plant species forming an endosymbiotic relationships over several generations

[sly sail]

maybe the bracken's body is made to be undergrounds and the leafs outside?

like, leafs are still green, they can photosynthesis

[torpid summit]

This is easily explained because red is one of the hardest colours to see in the dark next to black, but that's the thing--most people initially thought that the bracken was just completely dark anyways, meaning the coloration did its job

[tight moat]

fuck it maybe they're a fungus

[torpid summit]

thats my hc for the titan bracken

titan bracken's a fungus

[tight moat]

the what

[torpid summit]

oh right i havent told you about The List™️

titan as in the moon not like

[fathom spire]

just looked thrut heir stuff and its super cute :]

[sly sail]

Rapax-folium(scientific name straight from wiki)

[torpid summit]

a colossal bracken

[tight moat]

oh Titan moon

[torpid summit]

yeah bracken on titan not BIG big bracken

but yeah i think the bracken on titan's a fungal-type and the rest are plant-types

[fathom spire]

aight im going to sleep

its pretty nice

[fathom spire]

cya fellas!

black mold bracken growing in your mansion

[torpid summit]

okay thatd be funny though

"black mold bracken" its a fern bracken that has refused to get down from your kitchen ceiling

[sly sail]

isnt mold actual fungus?

like, what we know as "Fungus" or what commonly is known as is just the reproductive state of it, fungus are actually the micelium(lets say "roots") which is on the ground

and that's why you dont eat moldy bread even if you cut the mold out

[torpid summit]

i believe thats correct

[tight moat]

Breadcken

[torpid summit]

Breadcken

[tight moat]

how's that for biodiversity

[sly sail]

idk if its correct, but isnt yeast fungus?

let me look it up(we would say levadura in spanish, but english is my second language and i dont really heard it much)

yeah it is

so you could do a sour bread bracken

we got a fun guy desing already

its pinned i think

but i believe they might be turning it into a mod themselves

[tight moat]

Sword slipping randomly main criticism

Hope that isn't included

[fathom spire]

unless they wanna somehow work with us to make it a thing for biodiversity

but i doubt it (i also wanna see them do their own thing)

aight it's raining like a bitch rn

why the hell does automod block the word mother effer

[fathom spire]

so no working out today, which means i can both study AND write bullshit on fictional monster concepts

@twilit plaza here's the thread stinko

[twilit plaza]

i can find it myself stinko

[fathom spire]

shut up

[twilit plaza]

a har har

[sacred ferry]

yea i think like instead it should sorta be like tf2 boston basher like if u miss u have a chance to accidentally hit urself

[fathom spire]

working on forge behemoth

kinda reminds me of that one simpson's hit and run robot

truckasaurus 🔥🔥🔥

[fathom spire]

maybe i should smooth out the design and remove the teeth, but i feel the teeth would make it easier for it to burrow

[sacred ferry]

i like the teeth lol ithink it like fits for a big mechanical beast although like a little cartoony/silly but it fits

[sly sail]

there could still be teeth, but be for space between them

kinda like an excavator

i suppose that the "eyes" are like lights on a car right?

[torpid summit]

WHAT THE HELL I KNOW THIS GUY HES MY FRIEND

its happening again (crossover episode)

[fathom spire]

yeah, they're like head lights

[tawny herald]

imma try to model one of these things

as long as someone supplies me with a vanilla model

[sacred ferry]

thas so cool

[sly sail]

i dont know how to do such thing, but which would you be looking for?

[tawny herald]

i don’t really care

prob any lootbug or maybe even ogopogo

[sly sail]

idk if light bug may be posible to do with the vanilla model

same with the bloat bug

[fathom spire]

i recommend starting with aloe first, since she's quite similar in design to the regular bracken

I'll be sure to provide you with a finished design by the end of the fay guaranteed

[tawny herald]

ok

[fathom spire]

well, bloat bug would be

[tawny herald]

i just need the bracken model

[fathom spire]

and light bug too, but you gotta modify a ton for the last one

[sly sail]

idk if masa would think the same of her appearance, but i believe she would be a tad bit shorter/smaller than the bracken, but she would still have the glowy eyes and a big siluette cause of the aloe vera on her back

thing is we dont have an actual reference for modeling so

so it would be better to maybe model fun guy or any of the creatures we already have art of

[fathom spire]

yeah, imma work on getting modeling reference today

also i think fun guy might be a bit too complex

he's got a lot of tendrils and shit

[fathom spire]

ogopogo's a candidate i guess? idk

i feel like the flexible snout thing might be a bit difficult

[tawny herald]

i’m just modeling it not making it a mod btw

[fathom spire]

nah i know lmao

wait no i don't LMAO

so it's basically just fanart then? or are you trying to make a model that could be rigged in the future for actual use ingame

either way anything's appreciated lmao

[fathom spire]

i was thinking a bit shorter, yeah

here's what i came up with before leaving to work out (i did end up working out, just later in the day)

will probably mess with proportions later

imma work on other shit rn though, gotta study shower tidy up my room etc etc

also eat. im fucking starving lmao

[torpid summit]

brakcen posting spotted

[sly sail]

thing is lethal company is a bit of a low poly game, so not much detail on that part(bracken is pretty plain, being a red guy with some leaves and glowy eyes)

so part the design could just be painted on or a bit simplified

[sly sail]

this might be more of a Masa thing than a me thing tbh

but she looks nice

[torpid summit]

absolutely adore the implication there are lil plant protrusions on the head btw tahts my favourite kind of bracken detail is head details like this

[sly sail]

little aloe antennae

maybe flowery could have a bit of a flower crown and a flower line over the torso(kinda like giving the siluette of a dress?, i will do a little sketch, not good drawing, but it will be enough for the idea)

[torpid summit]

alternatively. give flowery a bit of a tail

[fathom spire]

oh yeah the body will be 100% just texture

but thing is, the arms split into tendrils later

like, as you go down the forearm

[sly sail]

like if it were micelium?

(still looking for a good bracken image to scribble into, idk how to draw)

[fathom spire]

they're like the aloe vera's flowers!! she has a bit on her face

i was also thinking arm spikes but that might be a bit much? I'm still figuring out he design anyway

[fathom spire]

i could do that for easier modelling tbh

like, tracing images of the models n shit

[sly sail]

made a lil pause to look up aloe vera

[fathom spire]

yeah!

[sly sail]

they have like this lil spikes on the little leaves

[fathom spire]

yah!

[sly sail]

i believe they can also get kinda red/purple

but maybe the ones i saw were not really healthy

[fathom spire]

i didn't add mud detail don't worry, I'll work on actually adding the aloe vera-ey stuff later

like, the spikes, the color of the monster, all that

[fathom spire]

oo

[sly sail]

also aloe's healing and health propperties are given via its inside thingy

[fathom spire]

i feel like aloe could benefit from that

[sly sail]

which would maybe limit aloe's healing? like, a number of times

[fathom spire]

i thought that maybe her sneaking animation would be her on all fours crawling around

[sly sail]

like, she would pluck her little leaf thingies on her back to help you

making her siluette smaller

[fathom spire]

i was thinking she could either cry the substance put, like it comes out of her eyes

[sly sail]

she cries for the wounded

[fathom spire]

or she would reveal her head petals and they could drip down the substance

[sly sail]

she has empathy on her side

[fathom spire]

the silly!!

[sly sail]

This is kinda my idea

Like a flower crown(maybe smaller flowers? Or just 1 flower on the side of her head)

And that belt of flowers

Iike simulating kind of a dress on her

(ideas for flowery, not aloe)

she could also maybe have some flowers near the shoulders, but still dont have a clear idea

first idea was to just have a flower on her head, also dont know which flowers would grow on her

as she is just "flowery bracken/bouquet"

not a specific kind of flower

she could also have many kinds of flowers on her as she could be called "bouquet" as someone suggested

[torpid summit]

i think simple little spikes could work, I actually sort of incorporated that in ome of my bracken designs based on an agave plant

[sly sail]

im also mainly thinking of the ingame look cause of the low poly vibe

like, how would little spikes look ingame

that's why im hesitant on my flowery design

[torpid summit]

actually now that i think abt it i wouldnt be surprised is these two were more closely related than I think
(Left is an Agave plant, right is Aloe Vera)

[sly sail]

aloe would look nice, little mantis arms girlie

[sly sail]

is agave a Succulent?

[torpid summit]

i believe so yes

[sly sail]

maybe they are

[torpid summit]

My agave brackens were meant for Assurance and Offense since they’re extremely arid/desert-like climates and since succulents are acclimated to those biomes I thought it suited them

[sly sail]

talking bout desert/arid moons

for some reason thumpers really like those, like, regular thumper has i believe a 25% of spawning on offence

that's why i thought of mama thumper(nesting thumper) spawning on assurance more

[torpid summit]

god i hate thumpers but you’re so right though

[sly sail]

also still thinking of having to kill your thumpie when it gets too big

like 2 quotas after hatching would get to adulthood if not dead by then

and then attack you(i wont shut the hell up over tallbirds on dont starve together)

so, maybe you would like for lil thumpie pet to...
die?

just so you dont die afterwards when it grows

nesting thumpers are pretty territorial, so they would attack you when grown

[fathom spire]

ye, maybe when she's full aggro she gets spiked up

like, after her patient escapes

[sly sail]

she's just stressed up over her patient potentially dying

kinda like a mom when her child gets lost

[torpid summit]

kinda like when a cat hisses methinks

[fathom spire]

yee

[torpid summit]

lethal comapny's nicest bracken:

[sly sail]

we all know the nicest bracken is the fern bracken(original)

also, brackens for some reason have like "hooves?"

dont know the potential evolutionary reason for it

[fathom spire]

they have cilindrical feet, yeah

just like thumpers

though for thumpers they look more like... nubs

like someone ripped off their feets

[torpid summit]

I honestly kinda just wing bracken feet and do this kinda like. paw/claw thing

[sly sail]

maybe the new brackens could have unique feet to each other?

[torpid summit]

Possibly

[tight moat]

2000 tri bracken feet inbound

[fathom spire]

i think if we're going for a "flowery brackens are female brackens" or smth they should have pretty similar anatomy

aloes though

we can do whatever we want tbh

[torpid summit]

I kinda think, for like. normal brackens (ignoring biodiversity for a moment) it's a leftover trait from when their ancestors roamed outdoors possibly. probably still provides support for their current indoor-dwelling species

[tight moat]

have you ever seen the sexual dimorphism of a salmon

[sly sail]

or the mantafin squid thingy, let me look it up

female is the one on the left, male is just 1 cm long

[fathom spire]

i was gonna say "but but bracken arent fish!!!" but honestly fuck that lets go crazy

[torpid summit]

honestly imma be real brackens with paw-like feet kinda fit better if they're ambushers

[sly sail]

you can kinda see there the difference on size

[tight moat]

I mean I can point at non-fish if you want

[sly sail]

if we did come up with a lillypad bracken before settling on no more brackens we could have had a fish/mermaid like one

more images on the manta octopus cause she pretty

[fathom spire]

nah we can take from whatever animals we want tbh

atleast for inspiration imo

[cobalt turret]

https://tenor.com/view/jacko-guilty-gear-crouch-gif-22797266

Sorry not sorry

[sly sail]

got an idea on Flowery design(IK she's not a priority, but i like to think how she could be)

maybe she could be a bit feathery(but the feathers are flower petals)

like, big petals all over her

maybe she could have big petals instead of fern leaves and just like valentino(hazbin hotel) use them as clothes

[cobalt turret]

Ooh, kinda looks like a butterfly. Though perhaps the body should be a little more slim? Aloe could work well with a more slim design since she's a bit more shy and fragile feeling than like, the Bracken or the Flowery

[sly sail]

thought bout it

she could be slim but have a big siluette with her leaves

simulating a bracken of some sort

and as she is kinda changed to be an indoors(pseudo outdoors, but wont go out much)

it kinda makes it match the regular bracken's size just with her leaves

[tight moat]

slim with a "big silhouette" 🤨

[sly sail]

leaves, on her back

kinda like a parasol, parasol is slim

but when open has a bigger siluette

[tight moat]

on her "back" 🤨

[fathom spire]

i'll work on that

[sly sail]

See those leaves

she could hide between them in the dark, making it seem she's a fern bracken

[cobalt turret]

Could always buff the assets

jk jk jk unless

Looking at the outlines btw, are you gonna make her green like the Aloe Vera?

[tight moat]

there's a reason I'm not modeling for this lol

[torpid summit]

okay but like "the assets" in question can be appropriately buffed because they're bipedal

[cobalt turret]

You'd raise her kill count more than her heal count? (Get it because everyone would flock at her and she kung fu panda's anyone close to the injured)

https://tenor.com/view/slap-slapping-the-slap2-youtube-adam-rozenbachs-gif-17171682

Average Aloe Vera when she sees anyone except for you (you're injured and she's adopting you)

Dead Crew having to force watch you getting nursed by the Aloe Vera for <x> amount of time

[torpid summit]

can't argue with this situation she probably gives really nice hugs

[sly sail]

mommy issues entering the game while seeing that

[torpid summit]

LITERALLY ME

[cobalt turret]

Masa needs her now 🙏 🥺

[torpid summit]

ms vera i just got bit by a THUMPER please come help me

[cobalt turret]

Meanwhile, Flowery summarized with one meme would be that one Spike Spiegel quote about his favorite type of woman

https://tenor.com/view/spike-woman-gif-22663298

[torpid summit]

"I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me"

both apply i think

[cobalt turret]

Yes

omg

What if Flowery's kill animation is a neck snap into throwing your body around aggressively like a Eyeless Dog

[torpid summit]

brutality

love it. will make ym purposeful deaths that much funnier

[cobalt turret]

Make the throw velocity ridiculous so another crewmember can see your body just ragdolling through the air

[sly sail]

she uses you as nunchucks

[cobalt turret]

Team Rocket sends off again

Get the Jessie model and charge headfirst into Flowery LMAO

(Yes there is a Jessie model out there)

[sly sail]

get the whole team rocket

james, jessie meowth(maybe wubbufet?)

[cobalt turret]

Saying Jessie specifically tho bc James & Meowth werent added :(

[sly sail]

what a pity

[cobalt turret]

Wobbuffet is iconic yeah

[sly sail]

still thinking about Flowery casually snaping your body to use you as a weapon agains your own crew

uses you as a flail or nunchucks

or a bat

[cobalt turret]

That'd be a bit too ridiculous Masa feels like, but perhaps if you get too close during the animation you could get smacked away like the Aloe Vera's smack

[sly sail]

so not a lethal smack, but still trying to kill you

or maybe this could be after flower gets stollen

uses the flower thief as a weapon(not other crewmates)

[cobalt turret]

Ehhh nahhh, she should yeet em away so that she like, feels like she's properly enraged rather than well, a ninja xD

[tawny herald]

yeah pretty much both

[cobalt turret]

That's Masa's opinion tho

[sly sail]

yeah, she could also feel safer if after she's got her flower stolen she keeps them far away from her

[cobalt turret]

Yeah, she probably wouldn't wanna keep her flower's killer around

[sly sail]

what if the flower is kind of her offspring like, for example, jellyfish have a stationary phase and then turn into moving jellyfish

what if this is something similar?

she's just protecting her offspring just like the nesting thumper is

[sleek bridge]

i want a giant that blasts dubstep

speaker mouth

nevermind

[tight moat]

Look even just one youtube clip of someone going "UM, MOMMY?" loud enough to clip their mic before being absolutely devastated by her, would complete me

[torpid summit]

TRUE

[cobalt turret]

Or.. a reverse jellyfish, and that's her mom

[cobalt turret]

LOL

Masa needs that ngl

[sly sail]

ooohh

kinda like the immortal jelly

reverses back to the baby state(immobile) when critically injured

or just when they are near dead

i believe after that more than 1 jelly gets out of it

[fathom spire]

ah then definitely wait for aloe to be fully designed, she'll probably be the easiest right now

[sly sail]

Like a typical jellyfish, the “immortal” T. dohrnii begins its life as a free-floating larva. It finds a hard surface to attach to, such as a rock or shell, and matures into a branching, plant-like polyp. From there, multiple young jellyfish bud off from the polyp and turn into medusae, or adults(straight from google)

maybe flowery could work like this in lore?

[fathom spire]

the other one you could do that would be pretty easy is the pit i suppose

[cobalt turret]

You know what would be a dark plot twist?

If the Pit can also mimic the flower, and the Flowery was protecting a facade of her parent all this time

[tight moat]

If chat bullies me enough then I can make "Flower Mommy Bracken with big murderous thighs" my next LC project but I'm busy for now

[cobalt turret]

[dull needle]

if you think you can make models, then #1210315682613436446 is the best place for you

[sleek bridge]

is a- a sound designer needed

[tight moat]

probably actually

I don't think anyone has mentioned sound once

[sleek bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/just-shapes-and-beats-credits-dance-gif-14448199

[fathom spire]

i did

i'll be working on sfx with a friend down the line

but they'll be more for future reference

[sleek bridge]

oh

[tight moat]

I don't think anyone else has mentioned sound once

[sleek bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-nervous-lying-down-in-bed-curled-up-gif-15496077

[fathom spire]

like, his sound effects are more "weird" than anything

like, i have this video of some he's made for example

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1090091954202742867/1213639959018344448/Untitled_video_-_Made_with_Clipchamp_24.mp4?ex=65ff6fca&is=65ecfaca&hm=df59be4b0a8074db3bff2349e44e134c933230534ff9bed6b277fc98ce1578ec&

[sleek bridge]

wha-

[fathom spire]

his sound effects are so my style but not really letcom's style

[sleek bridge]

they kinda all have different audio quality

[fathom spire]

so the sfx we come up with should probably be used as a basis for the actual sfx

[sleek bridge]

oh so like

i can still

[fathom spire]

sound concepts, yeah

[sleek bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/just-shapes-and-beats-credits-dance-gif-14448199

[fathom spire]

[tawny herald]
