RE: STEEMPUNK-NET game Pets - a fantastical addition.
I really love your ideas and the artwork that goes with it!
If I may add one more suggestion: Why not add actual robots too? Like a little drone pet, or maybe this guy:
Also, I think unique items like in CryptoKitties aren't possible with Steem yet. They can probably make a lot of varieties, though. And i think having some of them being more rare than others would be amazing. In the future SMT's could make them tradeable too and provide the perfect showcase for them.
I also think there is something to be said for feeding the pet. We're finding a ton of items around now with no use, maybe feeding pets can provide a use-case for some items that we may find. Or perhaps we need to feed it upvotes, which are then converted into loot that randomly spawns elsewhere? Not sure if this is possible.
I think it is important to have 'money sinks' in a game though, to keep people adventuring and gathering new materials to perhaps fuel or feed their belongings and pets. Maybe in the future a similar method could be done for potted plants that provide some kind of harvest if watered often enough
Feeding, eh? What about simply feeding them the bloody corpses of our felled enemies? Oh, wait.. that would likely be me! No, no, no; you are right they do need some (other forms of) sustenance. :D Tie-ing in the 'your beast is hungry, you must upvote' kind of thing might work really well.
I would, although I love the lightbulb guy - thanks for finding and sharing him!, hesitate to class any which are purely robotic or robotic-adjacent in with the pets. Personally, I'd rather add them to a gadgetry/objects list (examples of which I am collecting for another game-suggestion post).
Potted plants - I can just imagine a steampunk Venus Fly Trap! lol Growing herbs for potions - now that would be great.
I really appreciate your input, especially as you've mentioned some valuable enhancements to the ideas presented. Thanks. :)
Yes, it doesn't have to be robotic as a class. I would just call them all 'pets' and just throw in every wild and amazing and fun thing they can think of. Maybe we can even have ethereal pets, and whatnot. Who needs limits and constraints when we can also get rid of them and just do it all? Hell, a unicorn pet will probably be the most prized one, but let's make a half-robot-unicorn pet too which is super rare even compared to the unicorn!
Or maybe we can slowly upgrade pets over time as we find more condensors and CPU's to cover them up with?
Of course there should be a unicorn in the game. There should be a unicorn in every game :D
Perhaps even a half-robotic slothicorn could make an appearance? ;) You're right, anything is possible, we make our own rules.
I think this is beginning to sound like the 'pets' need their own game, they're taking over, lol.
Let's add the Cyborg Llamacorn as well then, we'll just steal it from Ethereum and add some Steampunk add-ons!
I think there could be many mini-games in Steempunknet! Lot's of different things to do, a flavor for everybody!
There's a Llamacorn??? :O
It's like Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium ...
Vitalik Buterin is is known for his weird clothes, a while ago he wore this t-shirt to a big event. UFO's, rainbows, and yes, a Llamacorn.
It is like a unicorn, but instead of a horse it is a llama. They are much more rare ;)
Good grief!
Just ...
... good grief.
lol :D
