I decided to submit a creature for ASA Scorched Earth.
I present the Giant Moa, a fast flightless bird with a small round platform saddle.

Been having some fun today attempting to make a dossier for my ASA Scorched creature submission.
Pretty happy with it, but I was limited to using AI generated graphics which doesn't come close to the amazing work the WildCard artists make.

Big WELL DONE to the plushie winners and all the other entrants (31 in total), these are some great builds! Would have loved to give out a few more if anyone at WC can sort me out with some

I've just written a whole potential Wiki article for my Moa submission 🤓
It gives propose to sandstorms by being tamed during them (kinda).
It has a weight reduction for eggs, can incubate eggs, and is unaffected by sandstorms.

Ok, last bit of Moa concept art before I get back to doing other things.
While the Moa can be equipped with a platform saddle, it can also be ridden bare-back.
Gameplay is literally coming out today and yet here I am with raised eyebrows about an apparent Nitrado banner. This ASA in game or just a shot from ASE? Saw it on Facebook but cannot get to Nitrado on my work PC to confirm.
I just accidently discovered that if you hold Q, you get this 8 item hotbar where you can toggle between all the stuff in your inventory by pressing 9 or 0.
Carcharodontosaurus has 70k base HP wild, as opposed to the 80k of a Giga. 16k base HP tamed, while Giga has 17k. 3/5 the amount of torpor. Melee seems to be about half. It has some tricks up its sleeve that the Giga doesn't have though. 🦖
I did some investigating and my theory was correct. They didn't scale it down, that's just what size the model is in the devkit. It actually gets scaled up to 1.3x in game.
I've made a greenscreen mod map for my thumbnails. If it's of use to anyone it's called 'GreenWorld'. It could use some improvement but I don't really have a clue what I'm doing in the devkit 😆
Got the Rat working by starting it off on the ceilings at the edge 🐀🌀
It actually gets down faster because it falls faster than most creatures. I suspect ravager will be the same.
I planned on building a huge marble run with ovis as the marbles, which was to be my final and best ASE video. Unfortunately, I've not managed to get it finished, and with ASA around the corner it probably won't ever be. So here's some images of plan doodles and how far I got.
If I could pick 1 video of mine to be in the crunch, it would probably be this one... AND IT MADE IT! Thank you so much WildCard, it's so rewarding just to know some of you guys have watched it 🥰
I made this beautiful trap where it's held between 2 double doorframes but it doesn't impregnate very well from it. Seems like it needs at least a little breathing space 😭
I never expected this would be my first video to hit a million views. It's crazy how it's suddenly shot up. It's being pushed to all kinds of randos asking what game it is.
"It was paramount to our art team that we overhaul the Character Creation system for ASA so that characters looked less survival-jank. And we successfully did that….but then we decided to say screw it and allow you to mess with all the bones and scalers anyway."
So I've got my channel back up and running thanks to
@SyntacYT
who did me a massive favour by pulling some strings with his contacts! I am super grateful for that, I owe you one man, if there's anything I can ever do for you please don't hesitate to ask.
So many amazing ideas being suggested for my Moa submission. I've hit my limit of replies on the forum so I can't thank everyone individually, so if you are seeing this, thank you! I'm working on integrating some of them, and providing more artwork.
