Hi!
Does anybody know more about the direction pets are going in this game? Wildlife in general either?
I know that Norse Ravens were at least considered and that Black and White is a potential influence, but I think the raven part is strange because why are you suddenly a Norse God/Goddess? Why not a dragon, or a griffin, or any creative mismatch of beast with wings you choose (I think it would be fun to create a living thing as a feature of Godus). How would it interact with your followers and yourself?
I'm just going to put some ideas up.
Let's say I meet the probably expensive prerequisites for creating and summoning a familiar and I place it's hallowed den/Cerberus crazy doggy bed somewhere in the world XD. Then I tap/click it to open up the summoning portal and choose the body/wings/texture/name before being presented with personality presets that I've unlocked by being a nice or mean God/Godess. These could be really diverse or on a predictable good/bad spectrum. Maybe something like behavior stems and roots (lazy/active, benevolent/malevolent, protective/passive etc)
When it gets brought into the world if can move freely and according to its behavior, interacting or avoiding different peoples and eating whatever the heck spirit pets eat (sacrificed astari!?). Maybe it could be directed to do the players bidding, smashing any rocks it finds and clearing trees, locating unhappy followers and cheering them up, scaring away Astari, sniffing out extra gems and special treasures etc and that would further refine it's behavior tree.
I don't know, it just sounds like a very vague feature, but one that could be super awesome!
also--I'm a newb, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this
