Question for devs (R.I.P. meteor slime)

Postby PrismSlime » Tue Apr 25, 2017 4:59 pm

I just saw that they arn't working out as planned. :( Since that's the case, can we at least get some insight on what was planned for it and what exactly went wrong with its coding?
If you want a Gordo as big as possible before starting to tremble, feed it 21 of any food that isn't its favorite!

We likely won't get into it's design in the short term as we're still developing the other slimes and we could use parts and pieces of it. Perhaps some day we'll reveal the stuff we cut (I actually covered a bunch of that in my GDC talk btw), which includes way more than just the meteor slime.

Also, future content updates could reintroduce the meteor slime, you never know!

tbh, that's probably the best response i could've gotten for that. but if you have hopes of filling those last 4 slots on the plort market within the glass desert, i hope you have a clean way to expand it without just making it bigger. but i already have some plans for the 0.6 update and will be looking forward to it like all the others. that new skybox is gonna be gorgeous off my newly refurbished docks~ btw, is there somewhere i can watch that GDC talk? i don't see it on their youtube =x

That's Nicks talk about the storytelling in Slime Rancher if that is what you were searching for.

awe darn no meteor slimes they kinda sounded cool. and nick i was also curious if with all that's going on with slime developments is there really a chance that new extractor types might come out. i seen some talk about master extractors and such but not sure if that rumor or not let alone if and when they will come out. could you try to clear some of that up so i know what's truth and what's just rumors plz

there's some code in the game atm, but that doesn't really mean much. they could still be removed later if the devs see fit. i hope they do though so i can max out on all my refinery resources.

Well I shall miss the meteor slime, but I'm excited to see what the new slime will be! If you look on polygoncherubs Twitter, you can see what is probably the body texture for a new slime! How do I know this Is a slime? At one point he uploaded a similar sphere that had the texture for the Boom Quantum largo. It's still up to guessing, but it could be our meteor replacement! (More likely it's the mosaic or ??? Slime from a little while back)

it might be one of the ones we don't know about, but i doubt its the mosaic slime. mosaics are various little shapes that form a picture, usually very colorful. at first i thought it was just the crystal ball toy.

They actually scrapped it! There are mosaic, tangle, dervish, and fire slimes coming out! No meteor!
I like puddle slimes. They are cute.
