June Update - Vulvalien! Everyone's thoughts?

from StarControl Forums

Wow. What a scary lookin vulva-like alien critter! Tongue lashing out like that? Terrifying! Anyone else see that? Or just me? 

Meh. I don't know about the landing. Seems kinda boring if we have to do that simple mini-game every time. Maybe they'll make it fun and interesting somehow? Otherwise, it just sounds stressful for no reason. And... I can't say that I cared much if my lander didn't land on the spot I wanted. Will the stakes somehow be higher this time 'round? Fall into a pit on the surface or something? 

The highlight for me was the alien sketches. They're ingenious (even the suspiciously vag-like slurper in the bottom left!) creative and wonderful. The actual renders have big old Disney cartoon eyes, which I'm hoping changes to the cool-but-still-cartoony eyes in the art! 

The other highlight was that Frogboy FINALLY figured out how to explain the whole multiverse concept in a way that'd not only believable, but compelling as well! Kudos on that, I'm entirely on board!

Bilateral symmetry is pretty meh. But I couldn't care less about planetary critters...

There is mention of non-critter hazards (storms and lava?) which I'd like to see some in-game samples of. Also I'd like to see some critters that stretch the concept of a critter. E.g. a carnivorous dust-cloud.

Sheesh - all I hear is crickets these days around here! Remember when the update posts would get 215 replies?! Where is everyone?

There's not much meat for discussion posted.

I like the critters and the music is awesome. I still wish hyperspace theme was a bit better, though

I reply to the announcement of the update. I give opinions of each part in one post instead of posting 1 post in each thread someone decides to start. I want the devs to read my thoughts in one place instead of bouncing from thread to threat piecemeal. Like my old DS said  KiSS (Keep it Simple Stupid).

The next big milestone is getting Super Melee ready for critique.  For us, this is a big part of the Founder's program. We have to get that nailed perfectly before release.

It would be quite interesting if you combine KiSS with other phrases...... ahem....
