We wanted to give the game more identity and since we love metal, we thought we'd try to represent the different genres of heavy metal.
So, if you eat more Ore, you evolve down a Power Metal branch with specific forms, characteristics of the genre. Eat more Nekro = Black Metal. Flesh = Death Metal. You get the idea.
The lore will revolve around trying to save Metal from extinction.
Toying with very early concept art, but still a long way to go:
And of course, the headless bat as the starting creature!
Hope you like the new theme when it's ready!!
