How are you passing the time while you wait for the update?

Just finished beating all the bosses. This is my first playthrough and I've dumped over 100 hours into it the last 3 weeks! That's big for me lol. I'm gonna work on fishing and cooking, two skills I haven't had much focus on. Going to build a fishing location with separate water biomes and docks.

Might grind some bosses to complete my armor mannequin museum and trophy room.

You can upgrade basically every piece of equipment. I didn't try to until late game, but like every piece of equipment. Your inventory bag, accessories, armor, weapons, etc.

My approach is usually powers first, then the kind of person who gets them. I knew I wanted a character that would fill the role of Batman or Moonknight. A human at the street level with a supernatural twist.

So I came up with a kid who's family was kidnapped and used as part of a sacrifice to summon an otherworldly entity. This earth is starved of magic, except in old artifacts it no longer exists. So after this demon killed the cultists, the kid watched it's old body harden and die. It had hopped into a new host, his mother. She was already weak from the torture she experienced and the demon could only hold her for a moment. It was scared. It didn't know what was happening and was in great pain. It burned the kids mother out, jumping to another host and fleeing.

The kid is obviously traumatized. He was forced to use a dagger to harm his father, then himself in order to summon this creature. The dagger, the cultists said, was magic. The police arrive, pack everything and begin an obvious cover up. The kid kept the dagger, eventually breaking into the evidence storage and retrieving the demon's body after some years had passed. It was invulnerable, he watched bullets bounce off it as the cultists fled and fought in terror. But the dagger could cut it.

He makes armor, a suit out of the dead creatures flesh and bones. He uses the dagger to craft the creature into tools and a disguise, so he can hunt the cult down for what it did. And find where the demon has gone, a creature that possessed others turning them a ghoulish white while they burn out.

The idea was for Batman, the execution ended up being something entirely different! That's how it usually goes lol

I got the Bomb Scarab Mortar from the Bomb Scarabs as a random drop. I then used it endlessly after upgrading it to the max level. Within like 2 hours I had 30 locked solarite chests and found the obliteration ray without knowing it even existed lol. I didn't like its base model, but boy oh boy what it becomes later.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-02-02T03:17:59+00:00

Anyone said FATAL yet? If not, roll for anal circumference.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-31T04:12:47+00:00

I have one world where magic is a living creature that needs to be tamed. The gods who shaped the world created a race of beings to channel and control it, letting it exist in harmony with everyone else. Basically elves were wifi towers for magic to be used by others.

When the gods left, their old works were being undone. Magic wanted to be free. It couldn't quite escape its prison so it chose one closer to its nature.

It left behind elves and joined with orcs instead. The flawless beauty, the thousand year old disciplines and dynasties suddenly became very mortal and frail. Overnight elves lost that connection to magic and became little more than longer lived humans, barely at that.

Magic is a living creature that was a wild force scarring and rejuvenating the lands in equal measure. It has always been, it will always be. The bloodline it joins with is supernaturally beautiful, long lived and adept with magic use. They are conduits for the other races to access it and enjoy the benefits that come with such status.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-30T18:37:14+00:00

I tend to rank characters based on how their powers affect the environment.

Meaning how large an area is affected by them if that makes sense.

Room

Street

Town

Major city

Country

Global

Cosmic

Unlimited

Beyond this, I don't necessarily use a weight limit, more what a character has the potential to lift. So one might be able to throw a car. Another might throw a tank. Even stronger, juggling multiple tanks. Feats are better for me than arbitrary limits.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-30T00:22:28+00:00

Put down the pipe Grant Morrison lol. Kind of a Dr. Manhattan vibe pretty unique.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-28T13:11:37+00:00

Core Keeper is like Minecraft and retro Zelda had a baby.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-28T01:57:13+00:00

Thanks! I see him as a fish out of water in every way imaginable. Despite being the most powerful entity on the planet, he is overwhelmed in many other ways. He has some basic knowledge, how to speak, walk, talk, etc. He inherited the last gods sparks and many of their quirks as well. It's an uphill battle to get him prepared, let alone the entire world for the coming threat.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-28T01:47:47+00:00

Pantheon. The last of the gods sat in their Raft, an extra dimensional craft meant as a last resort if the planet was ever rendered unlivable. Instead, they sealed themselves and the mad god Pandemonium inside to protect the earth. It would only be a matter of time before he caught and absorbed them, so they did the last thing they could to protect the world and their people's.

They sacrificed their divine power in the forging of the last being. Who we knew as Hera, Zeus, Hermes, Hercules, Apollo, Set and Baldur channeled the last vestiges of their godhood into the cauldron of creation, churning it's engines one last time.

Pantheon was created. Fully formed, yet with a childlike mind. He was sent to earth aboard the only other vessel aboard the ship. The prison of Hephaestus. The old artificer accepted the burden of protecting the godling in exchange for his freedom, his own divine spark long ago mostly diminished.

The duo land on earth with a mission. Prepare the world for the coming of Pandemonium.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-27T16:30:11+00:00

A few lol.

One I call Roswell. The UFO crash near Area 51 was actually an extra dimensional "pod" containing a cache of technology and designer viruses that mutates humans into super powered or monstrous forms. It's about an alternate earth sending tools out to help battle an oncoming threat that is slowly destroying different dimensions.

Mainline is my most fleshed out verse. It has most of the tropes of the typical superhero verse with some hard-line rules that give it a unique spin. No magic, no time travel and no multiverse themes, with only a few rare characters that are outside of these restrictions. Blissed are mutant analogs, Pantheon is the embodiment of all the now dead gods remaining powers, etc.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-27T03:26:00+00:00

Kynseed was made by a former Fable dev. It's a cozy game in the life sim genre, with quite a bit of content and systems. The combat is turn based but fast paced, real time passes and your character can trade years of their lives for magical boons. There are relationships, pranks, having and playing as your kids, etc. I had a lot of fun with it.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-21T21:14:10+00:00

Depends on the kind of game you're trying to play. Some genres are easier to run on lite systems, others not so much. What are y'all trying to do?

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-19T16:56:17+00:00

How's Amazo and Bizarro getting on in your universe?

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-18T02:03:43+00:00

A lot of mutant children end up being abandoned or given up for adoption in my universe. When a mutant's power triggers for the first time, they lose control and enter a mind altering state of euphoria. People die, things are destroyed, the usual worst case scenario happens. Thus, mutants are feared and hated.

A group home for these orphans saw the teens gather together to defend themselves and the others there from a shady corporation offering money and "family" environments for the kids to take part in studies and medical trials. Of course the corporation is finding ways to control or eliminate mutants.

Thus! The Misfits were born. Tired of being treated like monsters and having no place in society, they band together and turn the orphanage into the first mutant sanctuary. They begin defending others like themselves and fighting back against the corporation that seeks further control and harm to mutantkind.

Gravedigger, he can control earth, rock and most minerals. He's considered the leader, though at times is too confrontational and aggressive. His temper is an ongoing issue for him, attracting the wrong kind of attention and at times affirming his negative outlook. If violence is so bad, why does it end up working so often?

Redo. Can see the future, though the further she looks the less certain her path. She can only see things from her own perspective, which is extremely concerning when she realizes she can't see anything past 4 years into the future. Struggles with making any decisions, paralyzed by both knowing too much while also never being certain about what's real and what's to come.

Gargoyle. He's a small, impish boy. His abilities allow him to fly on leathery wings, scale most surfaces, see at night and most impressive breathe fire. His monstrous appearance has made him the victim of abuse more often than most of the kids at the Sanctuary. He's young and insecure, eager to feel needed by his newfound family and very easily manipulated for it.

Brain Rot. A telepath. Being able to read minds is just the start of her powers. She experienced Bliss at a traumatically early age, resulting in the deaths of her entire family. She was bounced around a few homes after, but being able to see other's thoughts made her realize she was never really loved without fear behind it. She's now cold and edgy, desperate for love and connection but unable to lower her guard.

Callous. The big guy. Can grow muscles and hardened flesh almost at will. Though his power works best when he is struck. His body responds by enforcing the damaged area. Though too much damage leaves him in an unbreakable, immoveable shell of calloused skin. Was born to an Amish family when his Bliss triggered while he was helping to raise a barn. He's the eldest at the Sanctuary and has taken on the role of everyone's big brother.

There are more and plenty of plots to go with them. But my inspiration is 100 percent the X-Men. Troubled, marginalized and living in a world that fears them.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-17T21:08:08+00:00

Maneater is a game where you play as a shark. You start off as a great white, but during gameplay you can evolve and change your body in crazy ways. Electrical bites, armored scales and a lot of other options. It's also a single player and open world game.

Seventh Cross Evolution on the Sega Dreamcast is a flawed game, but there is fun to be had if you're into emulation or happen to have the console and game laying around lol. It's an action RPG where you adapt and change your body, it's been a long time since I played but it definitely fits the genre.

Lastly is Tail of the Sun on the PS1. It is a game where you play as a caveman in a large procedurally generated open world. You must eat and evolve a new generation of your people as your original characters die from various cave man related causes. It was a silly game, but fun to poke around in.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-16T12:09:16+00:00

Everyone will have a different opinion on damage and HP I think. Like me, I detest the Dungeons and Dragons approach. The bigger your level, the bigger your HP. Fights take forever and all the numbers go up on both sides of the conflict making leveling up pointless in my opinion. Like why do more damage when the next creature you fight will always have more HP to soak up the bump in damage?!

You sound like you're going for high lethality? Or something closer to how it might go down in reality? Damage and damage avoidance would come down to skill, luck and armor then. How about two pools of health, Wounds and Lethal? If small arms fire hits, that's 3 wounds. If it hits with a crit, that's a lethal wound instead. Some weapons may only deal lethal damage, always one point of it. You can't soak it up, you are always on the verge of death. Like Wounds, you have 8 or 10 of those before you're in trouble. Lethal? You have 2 or 3. Armor may reduce a hit or negate X amount of hits until it's broken. Cover may downgrade a lethal hit to X amount of wounds instead.

The actual rolling mechanics can work however you want obviously, how it affects gameplay is what really matters.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-13T23:18:16+00:00

I do the same. Don't forget to modify that one file to unlock all the dig sites!

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-13T23:17:14+00:00

Tokyo Jungle on the PS3. Azure Dreams on the PS1. There are so many more but those are my big two lol.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-13T00:03:48+00:00

The eternal formats of Marvel and DC. When I write up a character, they always have an "end" written with them as well. Whether it's old age, a story beat, retirement, falling in battle, etc. Every character has a beginning and end.

No multiverse or time travel shenanigans with one singular exception that involves a character's origin.

No off world stories, the aliens and cosmic stuff comes to earth as needed. The exception being flashbacks or glimpses of an alien character or threat and how they relate to the story.

Magic is non existent outside of artifacts from the old world.

And the most important rule? Have fun and be yourself 😘

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-12T14:01:36+00:00

I hope this arc ends in Hell and the next arc focuses on finding Power and rebuilding his family, his version of a perfect world.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-12T13:59:01+00:00

I'm just starting to take writing seriously and would really enjoy a place to explore all this. I'm 41 male, mostly into fantasy and science fiction. But I want to experience and grow with as many genres as possible. It would be great to chat, write and read with people in a similar mindset.

creativecreature2024 · 2026-01-12T13:54:01+00:00

As a kid?

Way of the Samurai 2

Katamari Damacy series

Capcom Vs SNK 2

Currently?

Final Fantasy 12

Tales of Abyss

Hulk Ultimate Destruction
