Would you guys hush up about claws? I haven't gotten there yet
*sheesh* I'm working on a ZOO, for cripes sake. Think it didn't cross my mind?
Yes, there WILL be 'claw' equipment - some will most likely be weapons while others will possibly be gloves/boots. You'll havet to wait and see.
While I'm mentioning it in the feedback forums:
To speed up my task a bit (zoo requires a LOT of mobs), and because others have mentioned wanting to build, I thought I'd offer you all a chance to contribute.
I want descriptions for the following animals (what you'd see if you looked at them - rules follow):
Dolphin
Seal
Sea Lion
Nurse Shark
Stingray
Sand Tiger Shark
Emperor Penguin
King Penguin
Panda
Gorilla
Orangutan
Chimpanzee
Komodo Dragon
Crocodile
Lion
Tiger
Leopard
Lobster
Sea Urchin
Moray Eel
Angel Fish
Sea Bass
Rules for descriptions:
- Descriptions are to be PM'd to me or e-mailed to
gnalish@hotmail.com with the subject line IYG descriptions
- BARE MINIMUM of TWO lines of 80 characters each per description
- Each description should be ONLY what you would see when you are looking at the creature
- Each description should be in the THIRD person. No 'YOU see this...' - instead 'This is seen...'. Think about how you'd write a description for your character when you're doing this.
- No actions in descriptions. It's to be assumed that the dolphins and other aquatics are swimming, etc., but you can include it if its helpful to the description.
- Going back to the third person thing, I don't like forcing the viewer to do things - Seeing 'This dolphin moves through the water with quick flips of its tail.' is a far cry from 'You see the dolphin open its mouth to display rows of teeth in a smile as it looks at you.'
Any other questions, feel free to PM or e-mail me. As for any rewards...
Your reward will be that you get to walk through the area and say 'Hey, I wrote that!'.
Also, if anyone would like to contribute ideas for written materials one might find in a zoo (signs by animal enclosures, park brochures, etc., feel free to send those as well.
The sooner this gets finished, the sooner I can start another area, and the sooner we can go beta...
and beta is gooooooood...
[edit] Before anyone can ask - yes, I will be updating this as/if things come in
