Alpha Animals (aka Vanilla Friendly Animals)

[res34]

I really Like A, but I've also kinda gotten used to C... would it be possible to make C a separate unit, like some sort of royal guard that only spawns when the hives themselves are attacked, similar to how mechanoids spawn from damaged crashed ships?

[Violyte]

Ooooh ^_^ Love the shadings and the way you do the colors (drool) and the animals are really neat!

[res34]

Just a question, but are you still open to suggestions, or are you focusing on the Megaspider retexture for now?

[A Friend]

Still open. I often look back at pages after finishing current things. There, I consider what can probably work and what I'd like to do sometime later.

[res34]

Ok, good to hear. Since I noticed that you'd designed some new insectoids, I considered suggesting some concepts for new ones, to see if you liked any. The first one I have a bit of  description for, while the second is still conceptional. Couldn't think of a name for it which fit the naming convention for insectoids.


Megamantid for Tropical and Temperate Biomes
A large, genetically-engineered species of insectoid derived from the mantises of old Earth. Armed with two razor-sharp forelimbs, they were designed to strike quick and hard against mechanoids before they eventually went rogue. Now they run wild on countless worlds throughout the Rim, hunting man and beast alike.

Honeypot Ant-derived Insectoid
Specialized insectoid which consumes raw plant and animal matter and converts it into insect jelly for the rest of the hive to feed upon. HEAVILY GUARDED by other insectoids. Stays close to the hive and doesn't engage in combat unless provoked.

Megaspider 2.0

If most of the complaints becomes "It doesn't look like a spider...", I'm just gonna rename it. I'm pretty content with its look so far.


Oh and I also somehow made a beefier looking version of it for some reason. I quite like it too. I might give it a similar looking head and make it a armored elite variant.
Anyways, I'm gonna go do the spelopede for now and see how it goes.

Edit: Oh and if you haven't seen them in the previous pages yet, scarabs look like these now.

Doesn't the information for the Megaspider state that it's not actually a spider?

[A Friend]

Yeah. It does say that.

[res34]

Just found the description:

"Not actually a spider, the megaspider is a genetically-engineered giant insectoid the size of a bear. Designed for heavy work and combat, its thick chitinous armor makes it hard to kill, while its long deadly ripper-blades make it deadly."

So ya, you're totally fine, since the in-game one doesn't look like a spider to begin with, less they were going for some extremely twisted assassin spider.
