Possible Future Plans

-Bust up through Ice, and go back down and leave a hole -Could have LD made worm chambers with breakable model capping it. Player can go back into chamber and explore -Simpler approach just have it randomized where it comes up, and doesn’t leave a hole -Very large - big enough to attack vehicles -Slam head into ground and send ice chunks around that can do damage -Not game monster. Not paying attention to you, just more of an obstacle -Worms navigating through network of tunnels -Maybe grab onto vehicle and you have to get out and get them to release it -Attracted to (triggered by) rapid movement or heat -Visible as heat sources on some kind of radar display (hovercraft) -If it is indifferent to player, perhaps give it some other purpose (hunting other creatures?) to give it more ‘set piece’ impact -Prototype goals: figure out how big is big enough, try variations of behavior (attack player vs ambient hazard vs set-piece) -Consider smaller systemic worms for general gameplay + a larger ‘emperor’-style worm for a fictional set-piece.
