Body Part Voting Competition Round 8
Posted by ququasar in Uncategorized on December 9, 2013
Sticking with the Things That Were Not Meant To Be theme, this rounds voting options are taken straight from the nightmares of small children (which we extract with a machine to fuel the clockwork that keeps our shriveled black hearts alive. Don’t worry though, the extraction process is completely humane. Well… mostly).
Vote Here: http://speciesgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=429
Pick between these:
… and a Fourth Option, which is to declare open season on your sanity and just model the most lovecraftian thing we can.

Also, here’s a picture of a crowd of fluffy Primum specium (and one scaley one), just to prove that progress is still being made.
Though I still need to fix that horrible horrible mouth texture… 🙂
BPVCT – Round 4
Posted by ququasar in Uncategorized on October 22, 2013
Round 3 resulted in the Preying Mantis head being guaranteed for 0.7.0! Giant carnivorous insects! Yay!
…
This week’s selection is a conglomeration of parts suggested by the Species Community, and if Round 4 proves anything it’s that you guys have even freakier taste in body parts than me. Seriously, I’d ask what the hell’s wrong with the lot of you, but this is AWESOME.
Poll can be found here. You’ll need to register to the forums to vote.

BPVCT – Round 3!
Posted by ququasar in Uncategorized on October 1, 2013
Welp, Round 2 had a three way tie (roughly… it depends when you take the count) and people took my comment about merging the headtypes seriously, so it looks like we’ll be modelling something lovecraftian, similar to the image below, for 0.7.0. Yay!
That’s a poor precedent to set though, so in the future ties will be broken by some (hopefully fair) means, rather than putting the parts through another horrific bioblending. Sorry guys, but I think it’s gonna be more fun this way. I reserve the right to perform horrific bioblendings for special occasions, though. Like weddings.
…
Round 3 offers up four beautiful insectoid head pieces, because nothing says “we love our fans” quite like a massive dose of entomophobia. Your options are:
