Cats Chase Butterflies [Always Open! Turn 26]
« on: September 01, 2024, 09:53:55 am »

~A taming / ecosystem game~

You are a Cat Godling who has awoken from their eons long catnap. You remember what it was like to be worshipped, but it looks like the world has fallen into ruin while you slept. Not having peons to amuse you simply won't do, so you set about trying to lure them back. You guess you could clean things up a bit in the meantime, not everyone likes hanging out in the endless void.


Do the thing:

Note: This game does not always make sense. You are forewarned >:3

Creature Codex
Definitions
Appear: A Creature that has Appeared can be visible as a silhouette in the mists. You can't interact with it and it won't come into the clearing.
Visit: a Creature that is Visiting is still a Wild Creature. It comes into the clearing but you can't interact with it much, other then trying to tame it. It will not use it's ability.
Resident/Habitat Requirements: This is the condition that needs to be met to make it possible to Tame a wild Creature.
Taming: You can use an Instrument with a collection of Butterflies to tame a creature! Every Creature has a favourite instrument and a preference for what butterflies in what order it wants to see perform.
Resident: Congratulations! This Creature now lives in the clearing with you and you can now encourage it to use it's abilities.
Ability: What the Creature can do that will improve your area. As well as changing the terrain, this can also be giving you items or performing certain tasks.
Feeding: A Creature will really only use it's ability once when it first becomes a Resident. Every time you feed a Creature it's favourite food, it will use it's Ability!

Collect Supplies preferring those that sparkle, that have iridescence, fluorescence, are holographic, are otherwise visually sublime.

For every trouble under the sun, there is an answer, or there is none.
If there is one, then seek until you find it.
If there is none, then never ever mind it.

Turn 0
TURNTURNTURN

You set to work gathering supplies!

Hmm.. it's a little cramped here, what with all of the Cat Godlings gathering supplies in the same place. Not that cats always care.

VermillionSkies finds some supplies: Butterfly Net, Binoculars, Flute!
Crystalizedmire finds some supplies: Butterfly Net, Butterfly Net, Flute! You contemplate the lack of pizaz and polish up the flute until it's shiny.
Brewer bob finds some supplies: Butterfly Net, Binoculars, Binoculars! You see something moving - is that a butterfly??
Imp finds some supplies: Butterfly Net, Butterfly Net, Flute!

Actions
You can always do this thing at the start of every turn:
[] Collect Supplies

You can use one tool per turn:
[] Use Butterfly Net
[] Use Binoculars
Uh oh! Can't use a flute this turn.

You can do this infinitely, with other players:
[] Trade

VermillionSkies looks through the Binoculars. Gosh, isn't that just a lovely free bit of space? Finders Keepers! You sidle into the new area and have a good streeeeetch.

Brewer bob peaks through their Binoculars. Gosh, that is indeed a lovely Red butterfly! You carefully stalk towards it, and decide to claim the free space while you're at it.
