 | A screenshot of my GoM wolfling run (which has reached about generation 260 at the time of this picture). The metaroom is Daedalus, from the Children of Capillata series, in case you were wondering - I did some editing so that I could inject it alone without also having to inject the Universal Hub.
The very lowest floor of the metaroom serves as the breeding grounds - adult female GoMs can feed by hitting, either by smacking the norn dummy or other grendels, while males can just mate (and they have to; otherwise they'll die). There's no food there for young females, however, so they must leave through the red interporter and walk across the metaroom to the feeding grounds (the entrance to which is on the left side of the picture). When they become adults, they must use the yellow interporter to return to the breeding grounds.
The upper level is dedicated solely to the Ovicidal Agent (which constantly eliminates older eggs) - that level wasn't getting used for anything else, so I didn't see the point in keeping the system in another metaroom.
Minisauron used a similar test for the Ueber-GoMs. I just adapted it for a single metaroom to test out my own variant of the GoMs. |
 | I thought this was rather cute. Sagwa's still alive after all these months since I've been playing very slowly, and she and Spangle just had two twins, Mino and Mina. The two met their mother and have been hanging around her, it's pretty adorable.  |
 | Inspecting "his" garden and thinning out the radishes. I bet the poor boy is sick of eating them already! Or perhaps he likes the mildly warm surprise this food item has to offer. ![[nlaugh] [nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif)
Yes, this is one of my C1 surprises in store, and my first COB too! I'm in the process of finalizing the code for these. The original sprites were made by Mea and can be found in her blog; I just tweaked them to fill in the gaps in the growth cycle and to convince the sprite builder to let the greens show up nicely. No worries, I already left her a nice thank you note for them. ![[nblush] [nblush]](/images/smilies/emot_blush.gif) |
 | I'm having way too much fun with this awesome agent Laura made! It's making me nostalgic. Eat the fruit already, Sagwa! |
 | Or "Testing Gone Wrong!"
Adam the Apple Norn has a new life companion, clearly. |
 | Oooh, what has Adam the Apple Norn found?  |
 | Two screenshots of the genetic breed I'm currently working on. Like real ants, it's almost impossible to keep them still! ![[nlaugh] [nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif) |
 | A school of Lucky Stuffed Handlefish. |
 | I went back to Creatures 2 after it crashed and was greeted by this rather peculiar-looking Norn. ![[nlaugh] [nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif) |
 | I opened up C3 one day to be greeted with an odd error (something about a sprite being compressed and needing "Dan's SpriteBuilder," whatever that is). It let me open the game anyway, and this is what greeted me when I found Gaia.
Either way, reinstalling Gaia the manual way (decompressing the .agent file, then putting the images, body data, etc. into their proper folders) fixed it. |
 | Poor Poppy! Not only was an Apple norn trying to eat her head at that moment; but her little left foot appears to have an issue that, as far as I've been able to observe, has only occurred in childhood. Though it is rather neat how the Amaikokonut's nametags merged perfectly to form a new name right when I paused there to take the shot. ![[nlaugh] [nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif)
(The Apple girl is really trying to eat a little tuba fruit, you'll see it if you take a closer look.) |
 | Oddly colored norn that was a descendant of a norn I got in the Warp. |
 | This is Cinna, my first Norn! Isn't she a cutie? |
 | One of my Norns laid an egg in an elevator and for some reason it began to float in the air! |
 | For some reason in this world I can drop norns in space in between the two air locks. Although randomly they will explode and turn to clouds and bones, as if they were put in the air lock O_o |
