Greetings Citizens! This week’s episode of Happy Hour we’re going back to the Gamedev that started it all. As you know, Star Citizen will need lots of star systems, and those systems will need planets, and those planets will need inhabitants. In this Friday’s Happy Hour: Gamedev, Character Art Director Josh Herman will create the concept of a new creature LIVE with direct input from you, the backers. This is your chance to be a part of the creative process live, as we’ll take suggestions from the chat, and put important decisions up to vote. What creature will you help Josh create this Friday on Happy Hour? Post your initial ideas below, don’t forget to vote on the ones you like, and tune in LIVE this Friday at 12pm PST on http://twitch.tv/starcitizen. Additionally: what became of the original Flying Spider and Vanduul Dog? We'll have an update this Friday. :+1: The Rules Post only ONE suggestion at a time. Suggestions below should be for types of creatures i.e. birds, fish, tigers, etc. Replies with more than one suggestion skewer the voting and will be removed. You may post as many suggestions as you like, as long as they are in individual replies to the OP. Only post replies to the OP. This is not a thread for conversation. Replies not to the OP will be removed and thus not considered. Keep your suggestions short. One or two words, max. Brevity is your friend. Suggestions that are too long will be removed and thus not considered. Suggestions can be about any form of creature you can think of. We will be picking the top voted suggestions and creating a hybrid of them. No links or images. You may (and should) vote on as many suggestions you want to see included as you can. Have fun with it.
