Rah I Forgot To Post This Last Week. These Are Some Of My Favorite Monsters That I Had The Pleasure Of

Rah I forgot to post this last week. These are some of my favorite monsters that I had the pleasure of designing for the 2023 Winter Melon Jam. The theme was “charm” and we ran with the idea of making a monster parlor, where your objective is to make these creatures more charming.

Our game “Monster Parlor” was made within 72 hours by me, @puddleorganism , cobyte, and smallbuggames!

(From left to right: Squid, Rug, Hera, and the Vinegar Twins) there are 9 monsters total!

On another note, I’m superrrrr interested in the idea of making speculative biology/species out of some of these guys tbh.

Below there is the link to our game if you’d like to check it out.

The main campaign's now playable to completion, with me having spent a couple weeks going through and testing it all to make sure its broken ass scripting was no longer ass or broken.

Total playtime to complete the main quest (and this is with me rushing through it) was about 11 hours. Note this is just making sure the draft works, the final campaign will obviously need more effects, voice acting, full cutscenes, etc.

A Closer Look: Vertebrates Chordates

A flow chart representing the speculative taxonomy of Minecraft chordates.

First order of business, turns out coelacanths are not vertebrates, which are what I’ve been basing my hexapodal polypodes (Sniffers, Bees) off of. So, to cover this group we’re switching from vertibrata to chordata (at least for this post, vertebrates still exist)!

The Chordata clade can be split into 3 main groups: neomammalia (new mammals) and brachipteryxus (wing-armed) - the vertebrates; as well as polypodus (many-footed) - their distant six-legged cousins.

A semi-realistic illustration of an ocelot from Minecraft according to its odd evolutionary history. It has a slightly wolfish appearance.
A semi-realistic illustration of a strider from Minecraft according to its odd evolutionary history. It looks like a featherless, long-legged bird.
A semi-realistic illustration of a bee from Minecraft according to its odd evolutionary history. It is very fluffy and cute - and vaguely reminiscent of a flying six-legged hamster.

Examples of chordates: Dolichocerca leo, the ocelot (neomammalia); Lepidoscelus igneamantis, the strider (brachipteryxus); and Neopolypodus flavitta, the bee (polypodus).

Neomammalia and brachipteryxus are both notable survivors of Primordial Death, the mass-extinction event that eliminated the majority of life in the realms prior to the players’ entry. Neomammalia in particular had many surviving members, and has since continued to diversify.

An illustration of a Minecraft sheep and chicken in a semi-realistic style. The sheep is standing and looking to the side while chewing on some grass. The chicken is perched on the sheep’s back. Both are white.

A chicken (Myriapinna polynativas) and a sheep (Lanatumorphus myriachroma), both survivors of Primordial Death.

Polypodus is considered a lazarus taxon - a group of organisms that was considered extinct, but reappeared later. Bees were discovered first - long after the players’ emergence - and defined the previously unknown polypodus taxon. It was believed they were the only extant polypod, until ancient sniffer eggs were discovered - and miraculously hatched.

A silly, simple illustration of a snifflet from Minecraft hatching. The snifflet is sitting placidly in the bottom half of its eggshell, while the top half dramatically explodes upward. The snifflet is framed by a literal bright, glowing explosion.

A snifflet (juvenile Anchipolypodus aeternovis).
