MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Monster - Bird/Fighting - Ostradamus

Ostradamus

(simple self drawn concept art)
 
Name: Ostradamus
 
Category: Bird
 
Element Type: Fighting
 
Strong Against: normal, earth and fighting
 
Weak Against: water and poison
 
Found at: Sunny Hills - area 1
 
 
Basic concept description: A big grey flightless bird based on ostrich
 
In game description: Ostradamus are believed to be very dumb birds. This is because they are a big bird which can't fly but watch out for their large legs as they can do some damage.
 
Nature / personality: The Ostradamus is not as stupid as people believe. One Ostradamus is told to have put its head in the earth to hide before being hunted and now everyone thinks they are the stupidest creatures in MEGA Craft (world name pending). They are generally docile and although solitary they get along fine with other Ostradamus. However, if attacked or threatened these creatures can pack a good kick with their large legs and strong pecks using their long necks.
 
Likes and Dislikes: Ostradamus like to eat berries as they are rare on the Sunny Hills. They don't like being pestered by other creatures.
 
Background / History: Ostradamus have been around for a long time but are generally left alone by the normal public as they are not very easy to tackle. However, adventurers like to tangle with them in order to test their strength before moving to more glorious pastures. Great adventurers may come back later to best use their protected eggs as they can be great if cooked by an experienced chef.
 
Connected Monsters: Has a magic variant Ostradamus Mage
 
 
Detailed Location Description: The Ostradamus settles just below the hills of the Sunny Hills area just out from Beginner Grasslands. Sunny Hills is similar to the Beginner Grasslands with grass all around but the grass is drier leaving it a yellow colour and the area is much hillier. Wheat plants grow naturally in this land and is a great food source for the life which lives here but most just rest here and eat in the Beginner Grassland the rest of the time. Just past the cliffs is of course the sea which is a good spot for the creatures to find food as well.
 
Detailed Body Description: The Ostradamus is a big round flightless bird with thick grey feathers with light blue highlights. It's beak and legs are a soft yellow but they are still nobly and tough. It has soft feather layer underneath its thicker feathers which come out a little from the bottom of its neck.
 
Item Drops: Ostra Meat and thick feathers (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)

The creatures likes and dislikes may become relevant in the future for taming the creature if this feature is used in the final game. The more complex details of the creature may also be used in the game itself through the means of in game text books if the information is interesting enough and relevant to the proper development of the way the world is. Less important information will not be in the game itself.

(simple self drawn concept art)
 
Name: Blue Diver Bird
 
Category: Bird
 
Element Type: Wind
 
Strong Against: lightning, fire and wind
 
Weak Against: plant and ice
 
Found at: Sunny Hills - area 1
 
 
Basic concept description: A blue, small and thin streamlined sea diving bird based on a Kite bird
 
In game description: A little blue bird that is known for its sleek body that enables it to fly skilfully. It uses this ability to speedily peck nearby travellers who get to close to their eggs.
 
Nature / personality: These birds are very alert in nature and are always looking for intruders and danger. They are very territorial and protective of their eggs and roost areas. Be careful as if you get too close they will dive at your head and try to peck your face. These birds, despite how protective they are of their young, often fail to notice when trying to fend off intruders that their young may be unprotected back at the roost while they are gone. These creatures take almost no effort in flying due to their brilliantly streamlined bodies and can fly miles and miles easily to get the food they need. They can pull their wings closer to their body while falling into the water to allow them less friction to dive into the water to catch shoals of small fish.
 
Likes and Dislikes: Blue Diver Birds like eating blue flowers and collecting lots of small fish to feed their young. They don't like intruders getting close to their roosts.
 
Background / History: It is thought that the Blue Diver Bird may be descended from a magical ice bird from the Sugarlick Mountains but came here in search of better nesting ground and warmer climates for their young to grow. This is believed due to the many trips they take to the Sugarlick Mountains to eat blue flowers among other things. However, none of this has yet been proven scientifically but studies are still underway.
 
Connected Monsters: No relations to other monsters.
 
(link when available)
 
Detailed Location Description: The Blue Diver Bird makes its roost on the edge of the very highest cliffs of the Sunny Hills area just out from Beginner Grasslands. Sunny Hills is similar to the Beginner Grasslands with grass all around but the grass is drier leaving it a yellow colour and the area is much hillier. Wheat plants grow naturally in this land and is a great food source for the life which lives here but most just rest here and eat in the Beginner Grassland the rest of the time. Just past the cliffs is of course the sea which is a good spot for the creatures to find food as well.
 
Detailed Body Description: Their dark blue bodies are small and a slender streamlined shape allowing them to effortlessly glide through the air on the wind from the sea on the shore nearby. Their beaks are small and sharp allowing them to be even more streamlined. Nevertheless, don't let the size of the beak fool you as it plenty good enough for catching fish.
 
Item Drops: Little Bird Meat (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)

NO SPRITE OR CONCEPT ART YET

Item Name: Muscly Fish

Category: Fishing - Sea - Fish and Elemental Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)
(An Elemental Fish is a special kind of fish that resembles an element and is rarer and harder to catch. There is one per element and therefore generally one per location)
 
Element: Fighting

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Magic Fishing Rod
(Elemental fish can only be caught with the Magic Fishing Rod or the Godly Fishing Rod)
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: This fish is ripped from trying to open so many clams and eating so many barnacles. It's ready for the Olympics and it will win for the country!

Authors In-Depth Description: This is a fish based on an element in the game called fighting about fighting power. I will likely design the fish in my game to look similar to this video games character in the below example with a normal fish body with an angry or tough looking face and muscular human arms unfitting for it. Why? Coz its stupid and funny of course!

Item Name: Pear Fish

Category: Fishing - Pond - Fish and Fruit Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)
(A Fruit Fish is a special kind of fish that resembles a fruit and is rarer and harder to catch. There is one per fruit and therefore generally one per location)
 
Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Sturdy Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: This rare fish is part pear part fish and yes it does taste like both. However, both tastes are soft and subtle so they compliment each other nicely.

Authors In-Depth Description: There is obviously no such thing as a pear fish but I am making a fish for every fruit in the game so this is the pear fish. I will have to design it myself but below are some notable examples which I may take inspiration from. Although I do have the idea to make it a sideways pear shape so the lump and stem at the top is the nose of the fish and then just add fins. The sillier the better.

Item Name: Loch Ness

Category: Fishing - Pond - Other Fish and Legendary
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)
(A legendary fish is a special very rare item (usually only one per location) which requires the best fishing rod (Godly Fishing Rod) in order to catch. Each Legendary creature has a story in the games texts)

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Godly Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: AKA the sea horse, an old folk tale tells of a great creature dwelling in a large lake. Many claim to have seen it but no-one can prove it exists, until you caught it like a boss!

Authors In-Depth Description: The Loch Ness monster is a well known mythology/legend and this item is based off that legend. I will likely create the design for the game from a mixture between these two examples.

Item Name: Catfish

Category: Fishing - River and Sea - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: It's not actually related to any cats but it is so called for it's cat-like whiskers. A very characteristic and recognisable fish which you can find almost anywhere.

Authors In-Depth Description: The catfish is a very iconic species and is well known and distinctive so their is no issue with designing this one to be identifiable. Although their are different species of catfish in reality, the one often referred to is the blue catfish and this is the one I am taking inspiration from.

Item Name: Bass

Category: Fishing - Sea - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: A sturdy common sea fish. These fish are often sought for fishing competitions and can come in many sizes. They are good for testing your fishing skills.

Authors In-Depth Description: There are many kinds of bass but the sea bass is the one often used in video games such as Animal Crossing and other Japanese RPGs so it is a good inspiration. I will likely make it appear more green with emphasised features more like the artwork below than the realistic fish in order for it to be more distinguishable for the other fish in the game.

Item Name: Sweetfish

Category: Fishing - River - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: A river fish so called for its sweet tasting skin when cooked. A bit more tender and delicate than a Tuna or Salmon so it takes a bit more skill to cook.

Authors In-Depth Description: Sweetfish (AKA Ayu) are a Japanese fish and so are often featured in Japanese RPG titles such as Final Fantasy and Animal Crossing. The fish although looking rather plain is often shown as being slightly yellow in tinge like the image below. This is how I would like to show it in the game but perhaps with the yellow colour more emphasised in order to make it stand out amongst other fish in the game a little more.

Item Name: Red Poppy Plant

Category: Plant - Stem - Flower Plant

Item Harvest Number: 1 red poppy flower (possibility of poppy seeds but still being considered)

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
What is this plant?: A stem plant with a single flower at the top

In-Game Description: The poppy is well known for being a bright red and for this it is often used to present families and friends lost in war. Hundreds are used on poppy day for this.

Authors In-Depth Description: Although the natural red poppy has a rather long and leafy stem, the design used in the game will be more like the image below as a more simplistic version. More colours of poppy may be included in the game at a later date depending on how much is needed for the tailoring craft side of the game. Poppy seeds may also be added to the game if the seeds we have already are not enough for food crafting although the food database (not all noted on this website yet) is pretty substantial at this point and so this is not likely.

How does this plant grow?: A tree that grows fruits in its branches
 
In-Game Description: Pears are not to everyone's taste but this tree grows them anyway. Such a trooper! You keep growing tree! *sniff*
 
Authors In-Depth Description: This tree is a basic fruit giving tree which you find in one of the earliest areas of the game. It is used for easy recipes but can also be used in harder recipes later in the game so you may revisit them. It is used in a very simple design in the game itself.

Location Name: Sunny Hills

Category: Location

Dominating Enemy Types: Fighting? (yet to be decided)

In-Game Description: The Sunny Hills are exactly that, sunny hills. It's a little more dry up here which is good for different plants, trees and wildlife.

Authors In-Depth Description: This place is a little to the side from the Beginner Grasslands in its own dead end. This dead end leads to the first access to the sea where you can fish for some different fish. There is a whole array of different creatures and plants here so it is like a totally different location but it is not too different from the Beginner Grasslands as the enemies are not too much harder and it is similar in appearance but with hills and less grass and more earth, sand, cliffs and the sea. Like going towards the shore from the flat plains. Since revising the fishing system, there needs to be a pond in this location but it is easy to make a tiny one at the end of the little path in area 1 (AKA angle 1). I may even make it inside a tiny little cave going into the cliff on the right of the ledge to make it more interesting but I'm not sure if I will be able to get that effect without making another area and if I can't then I will just put it at the end of the ledge with some space for the other secret I want to have there.

Item Name: Walnut Tree

Category: Plant - Tree - Nut Plant

Item Harvest Number: 1-3 walnuts

Item Location: Sunny Hills
 
What is this plant?: A wild harvestable walnut bearing tree

In-Game Description: The walnut tree is a simple tree. Easy to identify and it grows big and strong. It is often a great tree to sit under on a nice evening.

Authors In-Depth Description: With similar looking trees, it's a little hard to always come up with something for the description. I also wonder how I will make the trees stand out from each other. I may have to make some changes to their appearance from what they are in real life such as strange colours or making the nuts appear larger so you can see clearly what it grows. I may even show the nuts as they are without the shell to make it more obvious. I shall see when the time comes to make the sprites and concept art ideas.
