A brown bear in the temperate is very fitting.

Jeah I think flora is much more important in this project but still, theyāre bears o.o everyone loves bears
Jeah but to me itās kinda boring if you have the same thing in every game: Snakes in the swamp, crabs on the beach, Harambe in the zoo. It would just pepp up the game if you would get to see something unexpected. Usually youāre programmed like this: āHey I need some rabbit fur. Rabbits are in the forest like in every other game so I guess I should kill rabbits thereā¦ Like in any other gameā¦ yawnā but why isnāt it okay to beā¦ special? āHey I need bear fur. whereās the arctis biomes? Guess I have to search somewhere elā¦ What? Bears live in the swamp? Thatās funny and interestingā so you remember the mod as āthe mod where bears live in the swampā. I think thatās not bad at all

and snakes are huge

Ok I forgot anacondas youāre right. But still, flora should be the priority in this mod (if flora AND fauna is your priority then happy birthday: you have the āARK Problemā
I think group projects are the best projects but theyāre quite difficult to manage so that nobody destroys others work or one post is just completely spammed full of replies filled with new contents and / or help requests
Iām calm

I thought this discourse is for kids under 16 years too 
Itās still quite performancewasting - even if it looks beautiful. And you canāt even let them glow because the lighting update isnāt out yet so you have 2 options: either they are dark and nobody sees them ore they just glow like the sun but donāt light up the area around them
True
What? A firefly is the same thing as any torch in the gameā¦ I already made them, it is here and workingā¦ lol
That is why the best games create their own mobs instead of using real animals, that is why we have a Varanus instead of alligators, or minecraft have creepers and other strange things.

um, lets not start a fight here
glowing objects are pretty cheap, they donāt have to be bringt as the sun or cast shadows, they can be beautiful without being so graphically intense
they donāt need to have a distinct purpouse or a special meaning, fireflies provoke the feeling of a cozy and mysterious forest or lake or whatnot, a meaning of a animal being āexpectableā is, yes, boring, but at the same time, it is a necessity, a person in need of a particular animal, should be able to find said animal where they expect to see them, and some may not go to an extent to go
āhm, bears live in swamps, how interestingā
and just go
āOMG, Bears living in swamps? GOD, thees Devs put no effort in research!!!ā
and thereās the problem of population, by logic, most animals have a variant of them living in a more distant and different environment, but to accomodate for that is to make every animal that lives in a type of environment in every variation of that place, but thatās too many, having a specialized location for a animal is good to keep the player organized because they donāt have to remember all the variations of habitat, and thereād be way too many animals living in the area
itās like how you canāt accommodate for every species of animal in the amazon, because thereās way too many, itās important to make sure you have the minimum amount of pieces to convey the environment, because you cannot make a carbon-copy of a place, you make a caricature of it, and you make extra if you have the time and resources to do so, because such small things are much less impactful compared to others
fireFlies are a great example because they convey coziness, mystery, and fantasy, and they arenāt even real mobs, you canāt even click them, but they convey a story, and thatās what matters
animals that are out of the ordinary biome are exiting and informative, but too much information is a burden, and confusion is something to avoid, you make a caricature, a story and a feeling, not an entire world

I would love to see a list of creatures and plants that you guys think would fit into the swamp biome, then the stuff that fits well with the majority should be focused on in my opinion.
The bear is certainly making a name for it self already haha, but lets keep that out of the list for the moment?
Why should THAT be an attempt to start a fight? O.o He made a pervert joke so I didnāt know if itās OK because here could be children
Hm jeah I guess youāre right
You can make fireflies without having them as entities? Okay I didnāt know that sorry
Uhm, I didnāt mean anything more than you imaginedā¦ It is common in games for snakes to be big, else there is not much of a treatā¦
Here a video of the fireflies. They need a lot of tuning, because I messed it all while testing.

they look super cool!
I imagine that a big snake would be easy to model and animate? At least as long as it stays on the ground 
I think its harder than modelling other things because you model the snake so good that it looks like it would be easy to model it ^^
Btw these fireflies look really good. Donāt know how, butā¦

I just noticed that I actually had made a flower for the biome, but it is so bad hahaha, here:
I think the flowers I was trying to make for the archipelago fits more in the swamp, this two:
(The idea was to have a hybrid of brightbell and frostsnap, but later I decided that it was ok to have those two plants in the islands.)
It will need a little work in the colors though.

i like them! do you have any pictures of the swampbiomeā¦ or maybe any sketches on how you envisioned it to begin with? What would be needed of models for it? anything special that would help you in the work with that biome?

The brown dots under his eyes look like evedrops o.o Is this what you wanted?
This thread is giving me so much life right now lol. I feel like @Fornjotr fern would fit perfectly in a swamp setting. Those fireflies Bruno has are great. So animal wise maybe snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs, gators, maybe a heron type bird. Iām sensing an influx of snakeskin furniture on the horizon lol. If youāre looking for a new race of monsters for the swamp maybe go with lizardfolk or some kind of mutant bird folks like the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.
EDIT: OMG I just saw [MOD] Ballista turret - updated Jan/15/2017 [1K Downloads Yay!] @Hyrule_Symbol has some amazing Sylph models that could probably get some claws, bird feet, and color changed to look like harpies! With permission of course lol.

hmā¦ (looks into old posts)
yeah, pretty sure i made them a while ago

Haha, I shouldāve known. I just have to say the amount of detail you put into animating your models down to the bobbing of the bun on the spider lady and the hair swinging so gracefully on your Sylph model is breath-taking and perfectly suited to the concept of each one.

Great idea @Logo with those harpies as a playable race! That would be so freakin awesome!
But i sense that i am on uncertain ground with this swampbiome dreamā¦ It depends to much on other peoples work.
So as long as i cant create a biome with code and animate stuff and all the other stuff that needs to be done, i better focus on things i can do and that is making decorative models.
As you stated in another thread, the community is starving for content from the developers at the moment, but i am sure the wait will be worth it.
If anyone have any suggestions to a model they would like to see in my mod, please let me know and i will consider the suggestion. Thank you.

Yeah Iām 100% positive the wait will be worth it! Some of the things theyāre working on are major tasks so I totally understand the time.
Heh and I may have jumped the gun there a bit. I got excitable seeing Bruno and Hyrule posting and was like hmmm with Brunoās mad biome skills, your adorable models and willingness to create more, and Hyruleās help with animations things could get magical.

Yes i agree with you on this, i kinda went into that zone myself yesterday, but unless Bruno and symbol share the vision, it will be to difficult at this point.
