[Teaser] Playing around with the Primarch design
Added 2024-08-31 21:30:54 +0000 UTCHey folks! I've been slowly chipping away at a content update for Insectoids 2. In it, you will be able to fight and procure a new geneline, led by a primarch (or patriarch, still deciding on a name). It's essentially the primary male for all Empresses, an ultimate 'boy' so to speak.
What do you think?
Oh, and don't forget the enlarged basic insectoids. Nothing worse than a centipede-sized megascarab. Centipede armor and health pool combined with sharp ripper blades...
Comments
you should give it abilities to buff insectoids, that would make it be more like a hive defender as well as construction.

2024-09-15 03:15:48 +0000 UTCOoh, that's actually novel and unique! Admittedly I was confused by the original choice of words
Juta Mae
2024-09-11 11:23:59 +0000 UTCIt’s not like that. This new boss is below the empress, and is responsible for hive construction. Whilst not excelling in combat, its main function is to erect insectoid structures to conduct a sort of ‘siege’. We already have ‘male’ hive leaders: teramantis is a male for example. All serve under the empress.

2024-09-11 10:47:49 +0000 UTCEhhh... suddenly injecting a "patriarch" into what so far seemed like a matriarchal species and giving him a harem on top of that? You do you, I guess...
Juta Mae
2024-09-11 10:22:50 +0000 UTCIf there's something I'd want with the insects is for them to not be so filthy. Can't have them wandering the base without slime being everywhere.

2024-09-11 05:38:39 +0000 UTCYou can message me on Patreon so that I can respond! I’ll respond after my holiday of course.
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-06 20:22:40 +0000 UTCI appreciate it brother and I understand. where might I be able to make this suggestion to you or is here fine?
Darien Wiegele
2024-09-06 20:22:00 +0000 UTCI do not, sorry. I believe that what makes VE stand out is that it’s all my vision. I don’t like working for others and I don’t like to be financially obligated and forced to add something I might not agree with. You can make a suggestion what to add of course!
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-06 20:20:06 +0000 UTCOskar by any chance do you accept commissions for Vanilla Expanded?
Darien Wiegele
2024-09-06 20:18:52 +0000 UTCSo does Biotech Warqueen, so does base game Centipede. It’s just a different perspective for larger creatures, and whether the user likes it or not does not matter. We’re replicating vanilla art style.
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-04 19:30:05 +0000 UTCI appreciate the Patriarch title, altough i dont really like the perspective of some insectoids, they should be full on profile view like all other pawns ( except muffalo ), its kind off-putting the way the queen looks to the side
Gustavo Righetti
2024-09-04 19:06:02 +0000 UTCholy JESUS, an Anomaly geneline with eldritch powers, PLEASE add it
Gustavo Righetti
2024-09-04 19:04:38 +0000 UTCOh my... I thought the royals were canned. I can imagine this being the endgame to insectoids. Huge, titantic bugs supported by swarms of little buggers. Wondering if it would be possible to make the primarch/patriarch bigger? Similar to how all the other royals are twice the size of their counterparts, like a 4x4 entity similar to the Nociosphere. A huge scary titan of a bug to strike the fear of god into any who dares summon it...
Spoder
2024-09-04 15:17:06 +0000 UTCi have a idea for the primarchs ability, whare basically it has an aura that buffs insectoids on its team. extra damage stuff like that.
dj
2024-09-04 08:16:32 +0000 UTCIf you go with the separation idea it could be pretty neat, maybe make it so the second phase has less defense but moves faster and harder to hit?
John Beate
2024-09-03 20:36:49 +0000 UTCStay with Primarch, sounds better and give us option to name Insects Horus, Fulgrim...
Whiite
2024-09-03 07:27:15 +0000 UTCThey look like them, with their description making them sound like insectoids, and the noctoliths seem to act like hives. Thought it'd be a cool integration. Like, you'd have to capture and study them to create a hybrid species that you have control over.
BR164ND
2024-09-03 00:35:29 +0000 UTCAre noctols insectoids?
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-02 21:53:06 +0000 UTCWould there be a possibility of adding a noctol themed geneline to integrate the Anomaly DLC?
BR164ND
2024-09-02 19:05:31 +0000 UTCMen are stinky and cring. Insectoid colonies should be a matriarchy.
p t
2024-09-02 04:20:01 +0000 UTCI'm hoping for a structure that cleans filth.
Choppytehbear
2024-09-01 21:47:36 +0000 UTCThe term for male colonial insects is drone.
Kylor M
2024-09-01 16:14:09 +0000 UTCawesome!
PaperClipChip
2024-09-01 11:30:30 +0000 UTCMy mind went to a wildly different place after reading "Primarch" in the email notification.
JSr
2024-08-31 23:13:12 +0000 UTCI do agree with the name patriarch fitting better. Like primearch is cooler but Patriarch in this instance fits the actual thing itself better
chase fox
2024-08-31 22:31:08 +0000 UTCI sure can and I think it makes it look better on a conceptual level. The idea of a big bad insect using a small albeit still big bug to bolster it's own defences is really cool in my opinion
chase fox
2024-08-31 22:29:30 +0000 UTCLike that parasite that takes over a fish tongue but instead it takes over the insect?
Leaf Boye
2024-08-31 22:23:22 +0000 UTCThat sounds pretty accurate to how bugs are 😆
Computica
2024-08-31 22:22:34 +0000 UTCDon’t worry I’ll keep tweaking the design until it’s perfect… unless I decide to make the head detachable so when you kill it it turns into a smaller bug?
Oskar Potocki
2024-08-31 22:10:26 +0000 UTCknow what it reminds me of, the pokemon Golisopod

2024-08-31 22:01:45 +0000 UTCgonna be awesome, I know Noobert will be excited too and I will be excited to write about it for his vids.
BrenTenkage's Gaming
2024-08-31 22:01:09 +0000 UTCI think "Patriarch" is a more appropriate nemesis for them, unless you want to call them "King"
Colin Lehr
2024-08-31 21:56:52 +0000 UTCJust wait till you see the new genes
Oskar Potocki
2024-08-31 21:41:06 +0000 UTCYou can't tell that it looks like 2 bugs stitched together?
Computica
2024-08-31 21:40:45 +0000 UTCEnglish not being my native language sometimes leads to situations like this. Changed to primary male.
Oskar Potocki
2024-08-31 21:40:39 +0000 UTCFor the love of God plz don't listen to this guy. It would look so dorky if it's head peice was made smaller. I love it as is
chase fox
2024-08-31 21:39:24 +0000 UTCThe head piece on the big one could be smaller, it looks like a insect is attached to the head.
Computica
2024-08-31 21:34:39 +0000 UTCImplement this
The Dragonborn
2024-08-31 21:34:32 +0000 UTCoh god...scared sebastion is gonna have a new life goal to enhance himself...

2024-08-31 21:34:23 +0000 UTCI’m so glad you decided to keep working on the mega hive idea you posted earlier 👍

2024-08-31 21:34:06 +0000 UTCOskar the word you are looking for is STUD please never say "impregnation stallion" again
