Penguin Norns Developement Timeline

On this page you can find how the developement of the penguin norn is going. When I refer to versions "NX-#", it refers to the subversions leading up to Penguin Norns v1.0. Each time a norn is modified, I'll give it a new NX number. Hopefully, there won't be more the 6-7 versions before everything, sprites included is perfected.

July 20, 1999: Completion of v.NX-1

They were the first penguin norns. I came up with them just playing around with genetics to make happier norns for my underwater world. The first two were Amy and Adam. Even though some of the genes worked, like those that kept them at a certain temperature, they still fought, but such fights lasted 2-3 hits. An improvement from what I started with. Amy seems really smart. She says "Amy thinks" often, and in the doctor's kit, all lobes are almost always lit. A success, for a first try.

July 21, 1999: Testing begins on v.NX-2

Progress Report 1 (10:54 PM 7/21/99)

Well, the two new norns, Billy and Britney, seem to be doing better. Adam was the more violent of the two NX-1 norns, so I added a pair of genes. The first one release chemical E6 into a male when he mated. The second turned anger and E6 into energy and need for please decrease. I also modified the normal 'I have mated' gene to increase sex drive after mating, and give them 255 reward. It seems to work. Billy is less violent than Adam was, and I get 4-5 kisspops in a row out of the two.
