\"Whales<\/p>\n

Decent progress since this AM. I’m more certain about how the gameplay will be structured, I have flocking and angular velocity\/momentum for the whales (luckily it turns out I don’t really have to do collision for them!) and I’m starting to look at some behaviors for the pod.<\/p>\n

You’re going to be a glowing intelligence that is worshipped, leading a pod of whales on some strange planet. You can fly from whale to whale, who’s backs are slightly emerged (think of them as sentient moving islands). You can commune with them, designate as leader, and so forth. <\/p>\n

Each whale will have it’s own personality and your goal is to try and get them through five stages.<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2010 11:41 am","title":"Whales of Aelia"}
