Game Development: Bumble Pyre

Nice to have a way to reduce wounds, but 15 minutes? Why so long? Why not 30 seconds or something, like if you're waiting around for a magpie to snatch the item you dropped. 15 minutes is way too long to just stand in the woods waiting

In that case, we could've just as well remove the bees themselves altogether. This at least leaves a reason ever for fighting them.

There's never a reason to fight them though, they drop nothing and just respawn forever. They have armor pen(?) and as far as I can tell they don't give combat moves. Best strat with this timer is still probably to just test raid the hive and leave if bees come out at all. You could find another hive within 15 minutes, anyways

Will the gems automatically go into the gem bag while mining and picking up gems? Or do we have to store them manually?

I didn't consider whether they'll prefer the purse, but they'll at least go into it if you're out of space in the main inventory.

i think its fine as long as they stay dead when i fuck off and do something else so i can just burn a shit ton and come back later for them.

Isn't this kind of just like potter's clay 2.0? Except even better?

Can we have old potters clay recipe back in this case??

That is a big ass fuckin' bee yo. Also THANK YOU for the beehive thing. It really addresses the whole, "If there are bees, leave, if there aren't bees, raid" tactics with beehives. Great job!

[jordancoles]

Thank you for giving the bumble bees a low mental weight

Would've been nicer to do the beehive thing at the start of the world though.. a bit late now, larvae are all coming from exisitng beehives, but nice update and realistic.

It's me or the Bumblebee got the size of an Eagle on the screen ? xD

I think it's fair to say that that's true of all insects. I mean, what did you expect, that they'd be realistic size and take up 1 pixel?

The graphics are mostly optimized for the default camera at the zoom-level that corresponds to Legacy scale:

The insects have to be somewhat oversized to be visible.
