I think green cheese should be Moon Cheese. :)

The moon being made of green cheese is an established fact. Just ask NASA.

Steampot?

I figure instead of a colored "tea tab" you could just SEE the ingredient you placed in the pot in that little window?

It looks kinda retro and retro is very in at the moment. ;) I did like the coloured tea tab concept, but if it's plain simpler to just see the ingredient in the little window then that's fine; it'll still be fun to play with!

As for the cheese dispenser, I like ylukyun's idea of having the different varieties of cheese - should they all have a green tinge for kicks? I also think it'd be good to have an element to the dispenser that distinguishes it from all the countless other cheese vendors... Any ideas?

A Norn Statue Looking over it and a Grendle Statue? Mabey the words "Cheese Day" beetween them?

Yay! The teapot looks perfect. I can hardly wait to serve my hordes of norns tea.

For the cheese vendor how about simply something also steampunkish. Lots of gear work, glass and pipes.

I always thought of shee tech as either being hyper-advanced biotech like from the "star dragon" book, or steampunk... ...or a mixture.

I think it should look like a norn made of cheese, eating itself :P

Perhaps the green-tinted cheese, plus the fact that the Grendels can significantly enjoy it more (i.e. when a Grendel eats the cheese their hunger/happiness is more decreased/increased than if a Norn or an Ettin were to eat it?) is enough to distinguish this cheese dispenser from the others.

Maybe the sprites should have primarily Grendelish features, seeing as it's the Grendels' bi-annual Cheese Appreciation Day? :) What about a green, scaly-looking exterior?

Ooh, I like the teapot. Perhaps the ingredient could be seen through the window, and as the tea begins to, umm, become tea, the ingredient fades away and the window shows the colour of the tea.

Seep. It's the term for tea "becoming tea" as you put it.

If any suggestions for the sprite of the cheese vendor are wanted, I have an idea. The vendor could perhaps look like a statue of a Grendel holding up a piece of cheese in one hand? Or even both hands?

Oooh, I like that idea even better!

I think a statue of a Grendel happily holding a piece of cheese in its claws really goes well with the Grendels' Cheese Appreciation Day theme.... whereabouts would the cheese vend out of? :P

I would have to say that the cheese could come from the cheese portion of the statue XD

Yeah, it might be cool if the different varieties of green-tinted cheese dropped out of the bottom of the cheese the Grendel's holding... Or maybe out of the Grendel's mouth?

How about from the grendel's mouth into his hands, where creatures can then take it from him? Easy enough to code! And when you order more cheese he'll drop the extra pieces.

AquaShee, you are full of awesome ideas! I like it; it sounds a lot more straightforward.

To recap the cheese vendor so far, so that we all know where we're at:

Cheese Appreciation Day Dispenser. In honour of the Grendels' bi-annual 'Cheese Appreciation Day', this dispenser vends different varieties of cheese. Notably, each piece of cheese has a green tinge, and when a Grendel eats it their hunger/happiness is significantly decreased/increased, compared to when a Norn or an Ettin eats it - meaning that this dispenser is primarily Grendel-friendly.

Provisionally, the cheese dispenser will look like a statue of a Grendel holding out its claws. When pushed, a random variety of cheese will fall from its mouth and into its claws, where creatures can then pick it up. The more cheese that's ordered, the more extra pieces will drop.

I am very happy with how this Items Pack is coming together. Thanks everyone for your great work and suggestions! :)

The sprite ideas are provisional and I don't want to make your job difficult. Do you have another spriting suggestion that you'd prefer to make? :)

Thanks Mousienorn, that could be the gist of the dispenser's design. It's good to see a visual. :) Perhaps Moe could use the C3 Grendel sprites instead of modelling a Grendel from scratch, if he prefers.

Just for fun and to kill time I made these! Just to give more of a visual!

Wait, is that supposed to be a grendel opening his mouth or a grendel slowly growing a mustache?

Either way, I support this.

For some reason I had the C2 grendel in mind for the statue. It has more statue-like qualities in my opinion.
Mousienorns concept is spot on, though. :)

LOL. He's opening his mouth.

Although the idea of a Grendel statue regurgitating green cheese is kind of gross, it does make me laugh.

Help! I'm laughing and I can't get up! XD

Not bad mousie, but the cheese looks a little mis-shaped.

Yes I just quikly did that cheese.. I just made a larger cheese.. If I were doing it for keeps it would be less.... mis-shaped. ;)

How about using a Muco-based look. Slumped grendel body with a cycling toolbar showing the different types of cheese wired on top as well as a "cheesedome". I just thought it wouldn't be very hard to sprite, and look cool.

When a Grendel eats it their hunger/happiness is significantly decreased/increased, compared to when a Norn or an Ettin eats it - meaning that this dispenser is primarily Grendel-friendly.


My suggestion meant that Norns and Ettins can still eat the cheese, but when Grendels eat it their needs are reduced more, given that it's in honour of their bi-annual cheesy celebration. Just thought it'd be quirky and unique to the dispenser. :) Now I think about it though, is that idea doable?
