Congratulations! Your application for adoption has been approved! You are hereby entrusted with the care and keeping of one of our rarest live captures, the elusive creeper. Being a pet owner is a joy, but it is also a responsibility. Your creeper will require lots of care and attention. Here are some important reminders to keep in mind after you bring your new creeper home: - Your creeper’s natural instinct is to explode given a close enough proximity, so be sure to allow a safe distance between the two of you during bonding time. - Your creeper enjoys dark, moist environments, preferably subterranean, so that it can scuttle over rocks and explore caves. - Regular feeding is an absolute must. Creepers can eat just about anything, from raw meat to precious metals, but have a special liking for the finer things. - Creepers are sneaky. Never turn your back to it. We know how excited you must be to start this chapter of your life with your new best friend, and we’re excited for you! We know how much you’ll enjoy your time together for many minutes to come! * We do not accept refunds or returns. Sincerely, The Rescue Shelter For Dangerous Mobs ——————————————————————— This project was made with love. <3 Please use fullscreen and turn your volume way up. Click your creeper to feed him. The more you feed him, the more types of food you will unlock. The food items become increasingly valuable as you progress. Hover over the bottom of the screen to access your bag, where you can select food items and view concept art. This is much more an art project than a game, so just enjoy the atmosphere. A few months ago I had to have surgery done and couldn’t walk around for a few weeks. To pass the time, I decided to pick up Minecraft and give it a try. I was fascinated by the way it presented the post-apocalyptic world that it places you in without telling you any of the details regarding how it came to be that way. However, the temples, the realms, and most importantly the mobs provide us with some interesting clues regarding the history of the world. There was clearly some kind of global war or viral catastrophe that wiped out the player’s race many years before the start of the game. It seems likely that creepers were the result of genetic experimentation and were created as biological weapons. The zombie plague that eventually wiped out the player’s species was created in a similar manner. After society's collapse, the creepers were freed, and now thrive in the desolate landscape. These are just my personal theories, but these ideas shaped the design of my creeper model. Making human genetic experimentation the driving concept behind the design gives it a very human element rather than simply resembling a mindless monster. The skull, abdomen, and limbs of my design are all taken directly from various parts of the human body. The arrangement of these parts, however, is clearly disturbingly different from human anatomy. My initial realistic creeper sketch (which you can view in the concept art) was actually thrown away by someone, so I had to dig it out of the trash bin after I found out. But that’s the sketch that started it all. I modeled this creeper in its entirety in Adobe Photoshop. It took me about two weeks to finish. Everything else in this project was also designed and modeled in Photoshop. This is much more an art project than a game. I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I'm not a very good programmer, which is why this project might fall short as far as gameplay goes. But what I am passionate about is atmosphere, which this project hopefully delivers. Every graphic was designed by hand and each sound was carefully selected to create the most photo-realistic environment possible. If you enjoyed the project, please leave a love! I appreciate every single one! And please feel more than free to comment and I'll do my best to reply. Enjoy!
