#species mod

[ryophi-mod-dev]

Finally! It took a few months of working on and off (I don't do this all the time, unfortunately), but I have made a good dent into the Armor Tiers for Ryophi!

This one's Tier Two, the set made out of Tungsten- Tier One was already complete before I made this blog, but the Iron set is in the mod, too!

Designing armor for a large tail, on a snake-like body is REAL hard- Requiring a fair number of straps to keep it attached, but I think it's still really fun to make!

The spriting, however, is AGONY- Agony I am willing to endure-

NOTE: I always use the ""Female"" model for designing the armors, because "Female" isn't actually... "Female" in the game- I might explain how the Gender options in the Species mod actually work... sometime-

But! The changes are now updated on Steam, so have fun with it!

Peeker's Woods

"One of our larger exhibits and also one of our main attractions here is the Peeker's Woods, named for it's primary inhabitant you'll meet shortly. This is a great evergreen forest home to some rather odd species.

Before meeting the residents, meet the people in charge of them, Shingyoku and Reisen. Shingyoku is a relatively new hire for us, and works here largely out of her own very poor choice! Reisen is our resident Rake expert. She's training her coworker here in how to not get violently torn apart. Don't worry about Reisen's rifle, she only has it in case of some freak emergency (and it doesn't have any lethal munition to the habitat's residends anyway).

It's only natural to start with the star of the show, and exhibit's name sake, The Peeker herself. Rakes are a highly dangerous and demanding species of largely anti-social animals that most zoos don't even attempt to house. We are not most zoos. But color us surpised when-

Peeker settled in and a second Rake (which we named The Watcher, or just Watcher) turned up. After some behavioral and dna analysis, we found these two to be siblings (Peeker the elder sister and Watcher the younger brother). Them being as buddy-buddy as they are is incredibly atypical of their species, so we took an invested intrest in housing them together. Peeker was aquired through an animal rescue we did, saving her from some people who wanted her dead. Apparently Watcher was also hiding there and followed us back here. Watcher loves the attention from people here, Peeker does not. If you see a Rake at all in this exhibit, it is probably Watcher.

Rakes are not the only species of strange primate we have here however, as we have also come into possession of a small group of Sasquatch. Pictured here is one of the females we named Squana. We put them together with the Rakes not only to fill space, but also due to the fact that Rakes and Sasquatches have been known to cooperate with one another when their ranges overlap.

Sasquatch have many strange attributes as a species, none of which I'll get into here, but one of the least strange is that their troops are lead by a dominany male (in this case, Wuto Raclor, the male Sasquatch pictured here). While Wuto is the most standoffish creature in the habitat, he never picks fights with Peeker, almost as though he knows who the real owner of this forest is.

At the pack of the exhibit, peeking out of the fence is a small, man made cave made as a den for the Rakes. While Peeker does use it very rarely, watcher never uses it, opting instead to sleep in the trees. If anyone is inclined to use it, it's a couple of the female Sasquatch.

I almost forgot to mention the last guy in here! This is our Treeper Spruce! You can probably guess how we aquired him. (We mistook him for a tree.) While our two primates in here only tend more towards night activity, Spruce is ONLY active at night, wandering around the south side of the fence. He's not really visible from the viewing vents, but he's visible over the fence so does it really matter?

While all animals have been covered, I'm personally just proud of how this body of water for them to drink from and bathe in came out. No one even frequents it really, it's just pleasant. Since the Rakes mostly tolerate the staff unless feeling particularly irritable, I've taken to coming to this place to relax.

While we are not yet open to the public, some folks have been let in as test guests. The Three Fairies of Light are some examples, and Sunny has taken a liking to the Rakes. And rather concerningly Peeker has taken a liking to her... Look her with her little chocolate bar! So cute!

We hope you visit the Peeker's Woods, an exhibit you'll find nowhere else! Also, pay no mind to any scraps of paper visible within. They just showed up one day, and both Peeker and Watcher get agressive if someone attempts to remove any."

So, this was quite literally THE FIRST thing I built in this world. Yeah, I have not posted the first exhibit until just now. As stated in the previous incarnation of this exhibit, the name The Peeker for one of the Rakes is taken from

this here video (which is really good and you should watch it). In the Peeker's story, it is said that some people misinterprited it as having a second creature that comes with it called the Watcher, and that is where Watcher's name came from. Fun fact about this exhibit: The original creatures living here with the Rakes was not actually Sasquatches and a Treeper (as neither were in the pack yet) but rather the Cocketrice from the Aether and Creeper Overhaul's Mushroom Creepers. Neither felt fitting and were removed. None were killed tho, they're just sitting in storage waiting to be re-homed. Back to mob names, Spruce's name is genuinely just a generic Trevenant name I felt was fitting (because fuckin look at him), and while the female Sasquatches have completely random names, Wuto is named after something from the story me and a friend are telling on a Bedrock Realm we're apart of. So yeah. I wonder what those pages are about?

Fun games to play with your buddies on discord

The Purr-ice is Right: Someone posts a furry adoptable sheet with all the prices blurred out and everyone has to guess how much it sold for. A good variation is posting a lineup and having to rank the designs from most to least expensive

He Would Not Fucking Say That: Someone posts a line of dialogue from a particularly egregiously out-of-character fic (fandom specified beforehand) with all the names blacked out and the participants have to guess who said the line. Another alternative is posting an out of context line from a fic and the participants have to guess what fandom it's from

BEHOLD... MY MOST INSANE CREATION YET

SPRINKLINGS

[botanyshitposts]

hey can any snake special interest havers on this website tell me why all snakes dont have venom? is there some sort of hidden evolutionary cost to producing a magic liquid that does the work of killing stuff for you? because much like carnivorous plants that sounds pretty awesome and suspiciously devoid of possible drawbacks for the creature on paper.

this question comes courtesy of my emt textbook saying that all (wild) venomous snakes in the US will produce a bite that looks like two pinpricks, as opposed to nonvenomous snakes that will produce a horseshoe shaped bite. it says you can tell by looking at the bite if it might be dangerous or not using this distinction. is this true? and if so, are more teeth part of the price you pay for magic liquid that kills stuff for you?

What's your opinion on a character's disability staying even when they're shapeshifting? I accidentally gave one of my physically disabled characters shapeshifting powers (he was a shapeshifter before I made him disabled,) and I know getting rid of disability through shapeshifting is bad, so I was thinking I'd have him retain his disability in different forms. Like, if he's turned into a cat, he still has his blindness, old broken bones, and chronic pain, he's just now a cat with those things. Would it be erasure to include things like turning into a worm, which has no painful bones or spinal cord, to make his chronic pain bearable while he waits for pain medication to kick in? Being a worm is obviously not a viable long-term solution, he does not like being it, and it's only a temporary measure to sort of fix one very specific problem (very bad pain day but ibuprofen taking what feels like years to kick in,) but should I scrap that?

Hello gorgeous asker!

Anon I'm absolutely in love with every part of this ask. Perfect, amazing, please don't scrap any part of this. Turning into a worm as a temporary chronic pain relief is my new favorite thing and is very relatable. The character still retaining his disabilities when shapeshifting; even more perfect. Beautiful, excellent, keep writing anon, this sounds so delightful.

Mod Owl lore: I used to be an artist for an original closed adoptables species called Wuffies on a niche rp forum board and I've been thinking about them again recently, so I thought i'd doodle Grian as a wuffy. Bonus fun fact - wuffies do not usually have wings, but I was the only person to ever get a wuffy with wings cause it was a birthday present from the species owner and I still have it :3 It would feel criminal to not give Grian wings though

Still messing around with this model, I'm happy how the armor went out. And also here's this character I drew based on this

Fyi, my idea was a melanistic Tharr with a furnace inside their chest.

A couple more furniture objects!

The goal I've been going for with Ryophi furniture and decorations is to really touch in on their somewhat discordant, "Interested in everything" nature, such that the furniture can reflect different species' styles and arts- From Hylotl's artsy nature, the natural furniture of the Florans, the Medieval arts from the Glitch and so on!

I'm gonna have several different sets of objects that have different mixtures of those cultures, but hopefully still can invite a little bit of chaos into the Ryophi's settlements and homes!

This'll also be my opportunity to make a lot more paintings and artworks for the game, because it felt like that was particularly lacking, lol!
