World Map and Worm Adoption

WormTown
A downloadable game

It's me again! Most recently I reworked the movement system of WormTown to be a lot more satisfying than it was before. However, you probably won't be able to tell the difference because I've been bad at keeping devlogs!

To visualize however, I wanted to show a clip - this is me briefly moving around the world map, visiting a town, then going back to the town I was at to adopt a worm from that town's Adoption Center.

As you can see, I flip between a few different worms in the Adoption Center picking out the one I like best - in the end I choose a medium length Classic type worm, who I lovingly name Cheesehead.

In the adoption center on the left you can see the worm details panel, which shows their moves in combat, stats to the left, and other statistics about them to the right.

There's also the Traits and Needs panel:
Traits shows some of the randomly generated traits the worm has - for example, a worm can move faster than other worms, get hungry faster, or get stressed more easily.
Needs shows, well, the worm's needs, such as hunger, stress and breeding readiness.
