#wecks

By William J. Goodwater II

Hello, Nick informed me that he has nothing planned for this update. figured now would be the best time for me to tell you the chemical workings of the Weck’s Biology. 

Weck’s were first created by the Druidic race during the early life of the world of Mydhilde, even before Humans. The Druids wanted a creature that could manipulate the elements and evolve quickly to make sure the world keeps a balance. To allow a Natural creature to perform such feats they needed to change the way Elements and even particles behaved.

They formed particles that were in tune with the magic of the world, this would later be known as Mutron (Magic Electrons). these Mutrons acted like Electrons in many the same ways Except for two interesting properties: 

1. To an Electron, a Mutron is invisible and does not interact with Elections.

2. The body that contains Mutrons can channel the energy into the environment around them (like a powerful static discharge but with elemental effects.)

This Mutrons would end up forming to make a new Element; Carmium (Carbon Helium) 

Carmium (car-me-um) Has the basic structure of Helium but the binding forces that are exactly like Carbon, allowing for a whole lifeform to be produced under a new element. following similar structures like carbon based life.

But the Mutrons had one fatal problem. Since they are synthetic particles, they suffer from decay. To remedy this, the Weck needs to consume Estrogen (or even Testosterone in some cases). the Estrogen gets surrounded by a mass of the Wecks Mutrons to create new Mutrons. Ergo a large Supply of Estrogen creates stronger, longer living Wecks and supports for Weck procreation.

This leaves us with our final part. If a Weck spends too much of their Mutrons (by the overuse of magic spells.) This will leave them with too few Mutrons to support Estrogen Fission. this will convert Carmium atoms into regular Helium atoms.

I gave the Wood Weck’s spritesheet an overhaul (updating it to the newer design).

And added some color variants.

The first three colors are unrelated to its stats/prefix (at the moment?), but the third one is a Hungry variant. They’re starving wecks really itching for a meal.

Wecks of Mydhilde Masterpost

All of the Wecks that have been revealed from Mydhilde. There’s still more to be revealed over the course of development!

Well, since I can't provide an official update, here's a look at the old and new designs for the Ice, Zephyr, and Dark wecks. (old versions on the left, new versions on the right)

Wecks have been undergoing dramatic improvements even since the beginning of Mydhilde's production, so even their designs have been seeing lots of change.

I've shown the older Ice Weck before, but now it's had some minor changes since (and I've had the newer design laying around for a while). These changes are due to the addition of its new beast-like appearances and behavior. That along with its old icicle ears clashed with the color of its hair, and the newer coat design is better reflected in its pixel sprite and its SO MUCH SOFTER.

The older Zephyr Weck's design was mostly too hard to express in pixel format, and it just didn't work out for me. Probably because I put too many details in the wrong areas.
