Not gonna lie the Palworld game kinda hitting. I wish it had like an actual story and shit. That's the problem with most of these sandbox world games. After you unlock everything and you will. That's it's. The game is over unless you have friends to play with.
But hey, at least it wasn't a scam. It actually came the fuck out.
Because apparently translating cartoon critters into my less-cartoony style involves thinking about how they might actually function as real creatures. It's been fun but a little challenging.
Rayhound first because it's my favourite mount at the moment :D I've just gone with a more generic dog face but might look at some more slender snout breeds if I draw it again in the future. I think I need to make the legs a bit shorter too.
I imagined that the horn things on its face would be keratin kinda like rhino horns, and the tail would be hollow/light weight like those really long horned cows that use them for cooling in hot climates??
LOTS of chillet because it's a friend's favourite mount and I've been enjoying experimenting with the design. I used an otter to base the body and a single head design on, but then settled on using a seal for a more rounded head/face in the end. I imagine them to have dense water resistant fur like either of those critters. Had a ball with the paws, took some liberties adding fluff in places. Haven't thought much about the tufty things on the cheeks- are they purely fur or a bit of flesh/organs??
Only done a brief look at daedream. It was surprisingly easy? I combined rabbit and goat/sheep traits. I'll probably play with some solid hooves like on horses later to see how that looks, but I quite like the split hooves. LOVE drawing long flowy hair~
Aaand a bonus digital sketch because the way players ride chillet is one of the dumbest, most unstable looking things I've ever seen 😂
Palworld has absolutely consumed me so here's a quick drabble about some future cool things that i would like to see in the game and also my own fucked up story working in the brambles of my mind.
Game ideas:
zoom function
Selfies with the pals
More emotes
Ability to dye your hair in two colors
Well more body customization in general
Revives please, i get bodied in the middle of nowhere with strong monsters around me and then have to come back after i die? Give a medicine that can wake up a pal from being incapacitated
Ok so that's out of the way now for story ideas
You wake up as a castaway and then free to explore from here. What I'm thinking is these islands don't want people to get out.regular technology doesn't work besides what you build, the towers have to be owned by you in order to get messages out. People keep coming but none get out. You are stuck until you finds a way to reach out to the people who are waiting for you
I also thinkit would be neat to align yourself with a faction. There are 3 so far, the syndicate, pal alliance, and settlements. Perhaps allying yourself to one gives you benefits and disadvantages. Or don't align yourself at all
I have 3 ocs for this game so far. I'll talk Abbott those later
i hope that when palworld comes out admitting that it was a massive hoax to gather data on the average players' capacity for simulated animal cruelty, they don't take the game down
