MAKE BABIES!
a creature breeding game for Discord

Wild creatures live in your chat.

Talk and the fire heats up. Eggs drop into your channel. Smash MINE! to catch one, raise it on berries, then kiss and breed it with your friends’ creatures. Every baby is a real mix of its parents’ genes.

how it plays

From a quiet chat to a family tree

1

Keep the fire going

Every message warms the server up. The bot only notices that someone spoke, never what they said.

The hotter the fire, the more often a wild creature wanders in: about one a week in a silent server, a couple an hour when the chat is buzzing. Type /fire to check the heat.

Smash MINE!

A wild egg lands in your drop channel. Everyone who presses MINE! within 2 minutes goes in the hat and the dice pick one new owner.

Whoever wins sits out the next 3 days of drops, so nobody hoards.

Watch it hatch

The egg cracks and out comes a creature nobody has seen before, drawn just for it.

Its looks come straight from its genes: body, coat, markings, eyes, element, horns, wings, tail, temper and the odd accessory.

Feed it and it grows up

Babies eat a little mash for 1 berry every 8 hours. Grown ups eat a big bowl for 4 berries once a day.

/daily hands out 14 berries. Forget to feed them and the bot sends you a reminder. After a day the baby grows up right there in the chat.

Kiss, love, babies

Grown ups pair with another player’s creature of the other sex, never one that was yours, and only if both owners say yes.

A kiss turns both hourglasses back a little. Love has a 25% chance of a baby, born 24 hours later, and both owners decide who keeps it.

real genetics, tiny scale

Two copies of everything

Every creature carries two copies of each of its 11 traits. One shows, the other can hide for generations. A baby takes one copy from each parent at random, so two plain looking parents can still surprise you.

About 6% of copies mutate into something neither parent had, and one baby in 100 is born shiny. Relatives cannot pair, and neither can two creatures that ever shared an owner, so every baby takes two players.

Life and lunch

The hourglass

How much life is left. A creature is a baby for 1 day and lives about 10 days in all. Kisses turn the hourglass back a little, up to 4 extra days, so nobody lives forever.

fresh to frail

The battery

How far ahead it is fed. Hungry creatures will not kiss or love, and one left hungry for 3 days starves. When one gets hungry the bot DMs you a reminder, and a last call before it starves.

Trades

Offer a creature, some berries or both for something of theirs. They get a picture of the deal and press Deal or Ew, no. Want that rare one? Make an offer they cannot refuse.

no typing needed

Every command, one tap away

Every card carries buttons and a menu with all of these, so you can play with taps alone. The slash commands work too.

Speaks your language

Each player gets replies in the language of their own Discord app, or picks one with /language. Drops and births follow the server’s language.

questions

Before you add it

How do we start?

Add the bot to your server. Someone who can manage the server runs /setup and picks a channel for wild creatures. Then just chat. The bot answers from the buttons and menus under every card, so nobody has to type a command.

Does it read our messages?

No. Discord tells the bot that someone sent a message, never what it says. It does not have the Message Content permission and it keeps only who spoke and when, for half an hour, to measure the fire.

What permissions does it ask for?

To see channels, send messages with pictures, add reactions and read the history of its own posts so it can reply to them and react under a fresh hatch. It also asks to create invite links, for features that connect servers.

Is it free?

Yes. There is nothing to buy.

Will it DM me?

Only about feeding: a note when one of your creatures gets hungry, at most every 6 hours, and a last call 12 hours before one would starve. The note links back to your server, where the feeding happens.

Is it safe for work?

It is cute and silly. When two creatures get romantic the lights go out and the screen says do not look. The worst you will see is a dragon in a tiny crown.

Who draws the creatures?

An image model draws every portrait from the creature’s own genes when it hatches, so no two look the same. A baby gets a grown up portrait when it grows up.

Do creatures die?

Yes. A creature lives about 10 days, a bit more with kisses, and starves if nobody feeds it for 3 days. Its kids carry on.

Which languages does it speak?

8: English, Español, Português (Brasil), Русский, Deutsch, Français, 日本語 and Polski. Each player gets the language of their own Discord app.

Your chat is about to get crowded.

Add MAKE BABIES! and the first egg could drop before the end of the day.
