Preview of upcoming item system
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 8:54 pm
I'm still working on the new breeding item system, since I still have a lot to do before it's released, but I thought I'd give a bit of a preview to those who've dropped by the forum XD
For everyone familiar with the old Samanayr breeding system, don't worry! Breedings will still take place the same way - you don't suddenly need some kind of special item in order to breed your Samanayr. The item system is something entirely optional, and you're still quite welcome to breed your Sams and develop patterns and mutations the old-fashioned way.
The little plot-bit goes like this. Basically, the Sharians have noticed that, with their much smaller stature, Samanayrs are good at finding very small objects that would escape the notice of a much larger Sharian. The Sharians have set up a trading program where Samanayrs can trade in items, such as rare berries or special artefacts, for magical objects.
These objects vary from one-time use individual spells, to a magical object that can affect an entire Song, to individual relics that permanently affect a Samanayr in various ways.
Many of the items will affect the outcome of breedings, but some will also be useable on adult Samanayrs.
And there's your fun little preview! Hope I've piqued your interest a bit XD
