Those funny little icons in the corner if you follow this link... (and I'm gonna try stealing the image from another site as well) http://i.i.com.com/cnet.g2/images/2006/127/926714_20060508_screen008.jpg there are some icons in the corner. Some, like the pause, heath, and hunger were obvious to me. And, I thik I remember '...' being options... But what do your fine minds say about the others? Could the third circle be relationship, or time, or how much fuel is left in the car?
The second looks like DNA points because of the sperm/DNA strand looking thing next to it. The first might be night/day timer. As for the third I'm not really sure, it might be their willingness to "Do IT!" with you.
I am thinking that the first one is how intelligent your creautre is because it's more like a brain shape. The second, I think as well, is the complexity/DNA of your creautre, or maybe the briefly spoken about evolution points? The third one to me looks like a relationship and maybe how well you get along with your fellow species. The fourth one, at first sight, looks like the knowledge of the surrounding area. The fourth one might be the creature's health, and the lightning bolt at the very end is how angry your creautre is. those are all in my opinions! let's hear everyone else's! -artistvrd :smile:
First: Brain complexity? Probably.. Maybe how awake you are? Maybe the creatures need sleep.. Perhaps stamina? Second: Definatley DNA points for buying more parts for your creature. Third: Love-O-Meter.. Probably for how well your relationship is with the targeted creatured? Fourth: Food level, no doubt about it. Always need food ^_^ Fifth: HP, the standard Health Point meter. What game doesnt have this? lol.. Sixth: actually.. this might either be a cool looking useless item, or it may be a stamina guage.
stamina... an interesting idea, however. Watching my creature sleep doesn't sound particularly exciting. But, I could see where attacking, and running would decrease it, and walking, grazing, sedative things could increase it. Interesting indeed.
First one I think is the intelligence one. Second is the evolution points. The third has something to do with relationships I think. I see a half-eaten drumstick in the fourth one, so it has to be the food. Fifth one is health. No idea what the lightning bolt is, possibly the stamina thing, or anger, or something else.
Yeah I remember Will saying something about "brain level" where you have to have a certain level of intelligence before you can have certain appendages. This may be representend through quadrants of the brain. The sixth one's image may be a leg or lightning bolt as previously stated I'm pretty sure it's stamina.
If you notice on the first one a certain portion of the brain is highlighted. Then notice what seems to be a meter going around it. I say its a brain evolution meter. Something to make the evolution of your creature easier, and less of a hastle. Now what is the one right above it?
The "..." in top left corner of the bar is most likely options, since it was the same for Sims 2 (and Sims?).
good point outs, well about the eyebrows, no ones perfect and it's a bit more cartoony, this creature.
'...' Probably is the options button, it's like that in the Sims 2 Below that, the brain thing, I'd assume shows how much brains you have out of being able to start the next phase. Then the pause thing. The circle with the DNA thing is DNA Points or whatever they're called for new parts and stuff. The meter thing... I remember him mentioning that relationships with your creatures was a factor, so it could be that. OR! It could also be a clock thing showing when mating time is! That would explain the hearts around the creature. The next one is a chicken leg with a bite out of it and a bar next to that, probably showing how hungry/un-hungry you are. Then health meter The lightning bolt... Could be ,aybe some sort of special attack for the creature? Again, those are all guesses (well... except for the obvious ones...).
Re: Those funny little icons in the corner ... : Options || : Pause Game No. 1: Brain Power, once you fully evolve this you enter the tribal phase, remember? No. 2: Definately DNA points No. 3: Probably the relationship that creature has with you. I would say if they're part of your herd/pack and not ready to mate then it would be green instead of pink and with green smiley face. No. 4: Definately hunger. No. 5: Definately health. No. 6: I also agree that this is stamina.
