It's been a bit since my last post and since then I've done quite a few things.
First of all, according sprites I finished everything of the female youth and male baby except the head. Head editing takes up so much time :(
Second, I finished the plant! With much help from the creature caves forum I finally did it.
Some pictures will follow soon :)
I think it might need some tweaking though. It's really hard to keep their population going at the moment.
The next thing I'm working on is some firefly bugs. Since this project is all about light and the plant agent needs insects to make fruits they seem like a perfect thing to do.
Right now the 'vendor' (a glass) is finished, they can move around in random directions and die of age or energyloss. Reproduction is on its way next :) And maybe a more goal orientated move pattern.
And for the last I made huge progress with the genetics.
The shiny norns now come with an extra organ. The Photophor!
It contains an extra tail appearance (would have moved the original one but for the sake of not having hybrids without one there are two now..), some additional instincts (carrying around bad fruits? Play with plants? Sounds like fun!) and the new 'mystery chemical' 214: Luciferin.
It increases with hunger and sexdrive and decreases with stress. And yes, with a special agent I made them emit light!
They glooooooooooooow now :)
Also, they live a bit longer than usual norns and get to youth at about an hour. They have longer pregnancies and a slight resistance to belladonna.
The only thing I still have to fix is something about their constant homesickness..
