there's a saying, it goes like this "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"
Here comes king Hatred Why should an entire thread be locked because you don't like it? Thats like someone saying obama should be impeached because he was born in Hawaii. And btw if you wanted it to be locked because its unrelated to starbound, the way you said it completely changed the meaning, you put a "but" in there so I believe you were implying that you wanted this thread to be locked because you didn't like the idea (english class ftw) "If you don't have anything good to say, Don't say it at all" As for the idea. Sorry, but it doesn't really seem reasonable to add another race when its so close to going into beta, I could see them being NPC's on Oceania worlds though.
They'll be updating this game for at least a year after it's official release, and some of those updates will eventually include new races.
It's a pretty interesting concept however how does an entire civilization of land lovers just up and move into the sea? Seems like that would be the end of their existence before they even get a chance to start a new. If they floated on boats gather resources from the sea they could evolve into the species you are trying to create
If you did them correctly it would have to be a completely independent race not mentioned in any of the preexisting lore. I guess the difficulty of it depends on the detail of the lore.
You see, the point I'm trying to get across is that if you could at least animate the images, and possibly add lines to the Terra Sharks, then I'd change my mind. But anyway, still, as you said, you're still working, that's fine. By the way, I was joking about the thread not being related to StarBound; if you look it this way: You're allowed to suggest new races, but the Devs might not actually include the sprites, but rather, take inspiration. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? But then, just my thoughts, mate.
That's the whole point of suggesting new races, you don't even need to have any kind of sprites/pictures. Just good descriptions and whatnot, and if it sounds good they may add it to the game. The point of people making their own sprites is simply to give you an idea of what the race might look like, it doesn't have to be perfect or even match the games art style at all. If the dev's like it and decide to put it into the game they would make new sprites to fit their style themselves.
I like this race idea. But the model is really bulky. But when I think of sharks I think slim and fast. But it'd really be cool to have another fish race that are more primitive. +1
Hey! Be proud! Only yesterday you created this thread! It seems to me that more people are interested in a shark than a Secret Agent. Yours in one day has 30+ replies while mine only has 19 and it's been up for a more than a week. Good for you!
Wow, some of you guys are dicks. ... Takes me back to the BF3 forum days. "ha you're a jew i wish hitler kiled al of you" "just die youre suggestiones r horible" "fuk u kid imma cum over there and smash ur faic in with a sleghamer" OT: I like sharks. I like people. Terra Sharks are two times as nice. While I suggest expanding on the lore and sprites, I think this is a great idea.
I say that we should be able to play as these terra-sharks (unless it is already being thought of) Edit: I didn't see the word "Race" before soz.
This is a extremely good idea for a race, almost all races mods or not are humanoid, the only non humanoid ones are futradragon, Centaur, and the amazing avali. it's good to see another race that is non-humanoid yet still have humanoid aspects. So, in a quick question because this started in 2013 will there be an expected release (if it is a mod, or just a suggestion) in 2014?
I'm a little worried that another race of fish-people might make the Hylotl seem less unique, but for what it's worth, I really like the concept.
Not your everyday hylotl Man, these are full on Sharks that can walk on land and open doors, it's like the jurassic park velociraptors and great white sharks had a baby. As most people would call these; LAND SHARKS. THey prefer to be called terra-sharks. Hylotl MOVE OVER AND LET THE SHARKS COME IN.
