There are a LOT of things I want...

-NPC respawn options. This can be toggled in case you don't want this.

-An option to start a battle arena rather than it just starting on its own as soon as you enter its area. Probably best as a text box saying something along the lines of:
"Battle Arena (insert fitting name)
Rounds: (insert amount of rounds in said arena)
Difficulty: (does the developer find this arena to be easy, medium or hard?)
Start?
>Yes
>No"

-Sort of combining the previous ideas, replayable battle arenas. You can only play them once, and once you've defeated all the enemies, that area turns into a normal area for the rest of the existence of the server. Why not make them playable more than once?

-All creatures are able to swim. No more instant death upon contact with water! The only problem I could see here is if it affected the lore of creatures like, say, a creature made of fire can suddenly swim without getting put out, and the Raquis' lore saying that they die upon contact with water wouldn't be accurate anymore. It would also make the creature "You Had One Job." useless.

-Swimming and walking speeds should be different and upgraded by different parts; parts that gave the Swim ability previously might be changed to just increase the swim speed.

-Have weight play a role in swimming! If you're too heavy, you'll sink. (Maybe 400-500+ kg?)

-Parts that give you the ability to breathe underwater. Without them, you'll drown.

-Being able to dive underwater, no matter how light or heavy your creature is. (Only if you can breathe underwater of course, so you don't try to dive but forget the "v" and just end up spontaneously unaliving yourself)

-A part (or multiple parts) that decreases your creature's weight rather than increasing it. (Of course, you'll also need to add a minimum weight so we aren't greeted with countless physics-breaking negative-weight entities abusing this ability the instant it gets added. Perhaps 0.5 kg?)

-Having other food sources instead of just dead creatures and the naturally spawning apples and meat chunks. (Crops in the Crops area on the Farm map? Gathering fruit straight from the trees? Digging for roots and stuff?)

-Actual functions for smelling, hearing and growling. Do they even do anything right now?

-The ability to put parts on other parts. Trust me, that will send people's creativity through the roof. So far through the roof that it goes up into space, accidentally smashes into a Pancakes Mobile, and eventually lands on a planet where our creations actually live on.

-More morph-arrows for parts, increasing creativity some more.

-More patterns, increasing creativity M O R E.

-Increase weight limit for jumping/flight, so there aren't as many cool-looking creatures that just desperately flap their wings and barely get off the ground, making them not as cool.

-More tails, hands, feet, wings, glow parts... just more parts in general.

-When hovering over a creature, shows how much health they have rather than just an empty white bar. (A creature with 173 health has been attacked, bringing it down to 104, so its health bar would show "104/173" instead of just a white bar with a chunk missing.)

-More dances!

-Redoing the chat system. I don't want a box covering the whole screen that makes it impossible to see what's going on, so you can't tell if somebody has already replied to you or if they've already left by the time you said "bye". Maybe a smaller "chat box" at the bottom left like most games have?

-bigger character limit for messages. do i really have to explain this?

-Desert, forest and snowy maps, as well as a map that looks like an alien planet instead of Earth. Could be fun to actually be a creature from some other planet instead of just a freak of nature wandering around our own. Other ideas could be a savanna or even a futuristic city (as one of my in-game friends said).

-Procedurally generated maps? could be cool

-Fixing the profanity filter. I have a creature named "Shelled Squugler" that I can't use because "shell" contains "hell", so CLEARLY its name is "profane" when it's actually not. :/ There's also a "Starter Cell" and "Shapeshifter" I can't use, and I don't even know what the problem with their names are.

-Photosynthesis? I'm not sure how exactly it would work but we need the Tree Horn to have a purpose. Perhaps your hunger won't drain if you're standing in the sun?

-Expanding on the previous idea: why not add functions for all weapon parts?

-Expanding even more on that idea: giving all parts in the game at least one ability?

-Magic (because i said so)

-Two different types of player kicks: a "soft kick" like the old one, where they can still come back after being kicked, and the current one, a "hard kick", where they can't come back. Somebody taking too long in the editing pad while you want to travel to another map should deserve a soft kick, while more intense things might require a hard kick. Perhaps this can clear up the vast majority of players who call the "kick" function "ban" by adding both an actual kick and an actual ban into the game.

-Add an option to disable the damage effects showing how much damage your attack does. It's nice, but I'd prefer to have them as an option so we're not greeted with this jarring blood-red number EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. SOMETHING. TAKES. DAMAGE. It was pretty neat when it first got added, then got annoying fairly quickly, and now I couldn't really care less about it (apart from this entire idea of changing it). You could also add different styles to make them not as distracting while still serving the same purpose.

-Blinking animations for all eyes, and biting animations for all mouths. This might require changing the model though, and I'm not sure how that would affect older creatures with those parts.

-MAKE THE BATTLE ARENA MUSIC QUIETER! There is literally no reason for it to be as deafeningly loud as it is.

-Changing the walking animation. Although most people probably don't pay any attention to it, I've noticed that most creatures' legs turn into spaghetti when they walk and it doesn't look good at all.

-Different bite sounds, tied to what kind of mouth the creature has. The sounds for biting are exactly the same no matter what mouth your creature has, and it can make your creature sound like this menacing monster when in reality it is just this small insect. Alternatively, make them fully customizable, as in the sounds they make can be selected from a list.

-Mod support. This could be used to have players add any of the things above to the game, or even their own stuff!

-More lore??? "Origins" not only is barely related to Creature Creator, but it also barely tells us anything.

-WAIT NO WAIT NONONO THIS GAME WOULD BE RUINED IF IT GOT ANY LORE. I could imagine the game revealing that all the creatures evolved from present day creatures, or that they were created in a lab, and everybody would get really pissed off because they don't like the idea of Armored Regretslugs having evolved from sardines or something or Pentapods being created in a lab to explore the world instead of them just being a small bug-spaceship or a three-legged four-eyed highly intelligent alien lifeform that somehow ended up on Earth, respectively.

-I remember watching a video of Creature Creator released way back when, at a time when even the Farm map wasn't released yet, and there was a little screen that showed you what updates were planned for the future. I would like to have that back. (Assuming this game is even going to GET updates anymore.)

-Creature scaling. What if you wanted to make a tiny ant or a massive beast? Now you can scale your creature from 10 times smaller than its original size, to 10 times bigger than its original size.

-Day-night cycle! 30 minutes of day, 2 minutes of sunset, 30 minutes of night, 2 minutes of sunrise.

-Trading cards and points shop items. That is all.
