Pixel Worlds Gets Pets, Encourages Players To Exploit Them For Monetary Gains
Want a cute little bunny or bird pet? Pixel Worlds has you covered? How about a gremlin pet? Uh, yeah, that too. A robot pet? OK, now it's getting weird ...
Those are the four pets, a.k.a. familiars, introduced in today's update to Finnish developer Kukouri's sandbox builder. Players can feed their pets and watch them grow and evolve into more powerful forms. (What exactly do you feed a robot? Nuts?)
As Pixel Worlds relies on a player-built economy, Kukouri encourages players to "farm and sell food blocks; sell or lease their feeding devices, or specialise in growing and selling familiars altogether." It's like Eve Online with cute animals. And robots. Or does Eve already have robots?
