some slime ideas

[lunatictrenton]

I was playing the game and i thought of a few ideas for slimes. One of the slimes was a snow/ice slime. It could look like a snowball, and have frost coming off its breath. the other one would be an electric slime. With the electric slime, you could incorporate a mechanic where it can be used to power something. Don't know if these have already been suggested, but I think they would be pretty cool.

Neat ideas, thanks for sharing!
Any artwork to show us what they may look like? :)

I really like those ideas.
if i may, i got some interesting ones.

the first would be, recipe slimes, basically specific, 3 slime mix that would result in unique slimes, instead of tar. that would alow that, risk reward feeling, and even that sense of discovery.

another slime idea would be some more villainous ones(maybe bosses for specific dungeons/areas), like the slug slime, it looks like a melting slime, kinda like the pokemon muk, maybe he would be throwing sludge at the player as its attack.

another one would be the the yellow devil from megaman, or atleast, something using the same idea, a giant slime that would fling part of itself in diferent directions, and the way to defeat it, would be to suck its divided parts before it regroup.

my final slime would be the ninja slime, it can turn into a puddle an in that form he can walk on walls(not needed but would be fun ) he is hard to see, and can only be absorbed when its stunned, by throwing food/objects(or maybe agressive slimes).

finally something for the late game players. a randomizer mode, that would basically change everything, so diferent slimes would have diferent atributes, and favorite foods, and in this mode the player would have to figure out by himself, with info only being accessible after the discovery. in that mode, if the "recipe slimes" are in, could be alot of fun, figuring what slimes would mix to turn in the special ones.

of course that last one would be an extra mode, and as such would only be developed later on. and of course sorry for the wall of text, but i love to come up with diferent ideas.

Nice suggestions!
I think an electric slime would make a nice bonus to the game.
Some reason it never crossed my mind. C;

I really like the electric slime. I think one of the kirby games had an electric slime/slime like enemy.
and I absolutely love the ninja slime idea. I like naruto, so the idea of a little ninja slime would be cool.

I like the idea of having the low chance to create rare slimes by feeding largos certain plorts. But you will mostly get Tarr.

ah no no, i meant special recipes, for example feeding a boom/puddle largo a rock plort it would change into a diamond gordo... a unique slime basically, but if you feed it anyother plort it would became a tar like normal.

so the players would have to test things to find out the secret gordos basically...

That is a neat concept.But I feel like the gambling version would still work. But what if it was only gold plorts that you could feed them to have a chance at creating a rare hybrid? It would be a long term project and give the game more longevity.

why not both? having special recipes for unique types, like diamond(boom+Puddle+rock) and Fairy(phosphor+honey+pink)

and by feeding largos some gold plorts, we have a chance of creating that type gordos(like the size of the ones in the teleports/keys)

of course there could be many more fun things to do and experiment.

Ah my bad if I worded that strangely. I meant both could work well together!

[Keyhound]

right? expecially since this type of game really need some secrets, and fun things to discover.

Well it is at it's baby stages. We're still in pre-alpha. But I always get pumped up imagining the final product. But I'm sure once it's starts growing we'll get secrets!

same here, im always playing around with rpg maker, and other game maker programs, never finish anything, since i lack both the time and skills needed, lol. but still, i love to lose myself iumagining the possibilities.

Imagination is DA BOMB!! I have a very vivid imagination. And there are times where I just zone out daydreaming XD. I used to be on auto-pilot always when I was a waiter.....garbage job :/.
