WormTown: What I'm Creating

Welcome to my page! Visiting me here, you may be wondering, "What in the world is a WormTown??"! I'm hoping this post will answer that question for you, as well as get you excited for what the future of my project looks like!

WormTown is a game I've been developing for a couple years about raising, training, and battling worms. The idea is to have a HUGE variety of totally unique worms of different species, with their own lengths, skills, traits and more. Out of the ones I've created, I already have my favorite type - you probably will too! Here's a picture of a bunch of the current types:

Let me know which ones you like best! I plan to add a lot more for you to collect and raise. It's not shown here but they can also have different body types, so you can have an especially fat, short worm, or a looong, skinny worm. Or, a worm with a big unit upper body!

If you've played Monster Rancher or gotten addicted to Sonic Adventure 2's Chao Garden, you'll have a good idea of the direction I want to go with this game. Each worm will have their own strengths, weaknesses and temperaments that will impact both how they perform in battles and react to you in their habitat. How you raise them (what do you feed your worm? Do you brush them, pet them? How often?) will determine how their life with you plays out.

I'm still brainstorming exactly how I want to do battles, but right now I'm thinking of having a progression where you start being unable to control your worm's actions, but over the course of the game learn techniques to influence them. Eventually, you might have direct control (as long as they like you enough to listen...)

There's a lot of other stuff I'll go into, but I'll save it for future posts! 

This is my first big project compared to the other small games I've created, and for a good reason - I'm very excited about making this a complete, engaging experience to play. I've put a TON of work into already before publicly releasing these posts. If any of it sounds interesting to you, it would be awesome if you followed the project to get updates on it! I plan to make more posts on specific aspects of the game going forward.

I'm also happy to answer any questions in the comments about my weird worm game!
