Intro - Welcome to the Mod Blog!

For those who can't read the Blog Description (I hope it's working, but if it isn't)- My name's Ender! I'm a game developer, who works independently on my own passion projects when I can, and currently on the search for more stable work besides my part-time job.

And this- Is the blog that's going to document my development journey while making a species mod for Starbound!

I've already made a lot of progress on the creatures, but, it's come to my attention that I need to get the word out on these little creatures- And moreover, get some feedback and interaction from the entire community on it!

I'm hopeful that one day, this mod might be as great as some of the other species mods I've seen out there- With fully-fleshed-out concepts of the Ryophi and their place in the universe, furniture, and other little, fun details!

Also, to share a bit of information about these snake-creatures, I added a bit of info on them, below the Keep Reading line!

The Ryophi are a species of snake-like creatures with humanoid upper torsos. From a biological perspective, they are capable of breathing in thermal energy, exhaling air much colder than before, through the gaps in their scales. They are, on average, twice the length of a human, but stand approximately as tall. Humidity is a minor danger to these species, having originated from a very hot, dry planet. In the past, Ryophi used to get hydration from processing liquid methane that naturally occurred on their planet, until their introduction to the intergalactic civilization beyond the borders of their planet, where- With the introduction of water- They found a much easier way to sustain their hydration, though still retain the ability to process gas.

Historical records of the Ryophi show that, a century or so before the creation of space-age technology and their introduction into the greater galaxies, they had suffered a war amongst themselves, created by a biological divide- Some Ryophi were born with fur, and others with scales, and eventually, a leader among the furred Ryophi spurred the ebbs of war, and created a terraforming device that turned a portion of their home planet into a winter wasteland, where the furred Ryophi congregated. Despite the tensions of war, however, Ryophi came to care for one another too much to let such a divide prevent unity among their people, and the war was soon called off.

The Ryophi treasure many things that some other species may take for granted- From water, to art, to little friendships. They are known to be keen on learning everything they can, whether about culture, skills, or knowledge of the world.
