Crafting

I don't know how it would work really, but I'd love to see some type of crafting skill that is just that- crafting! So many times I have wished I could create something to take to another Glitches home- Example: Flower arrangement, pretty vase, etc....It'd be great if we could craft little items like that! Maybe little pictures or sculptures, trinkets of some kind.

Another thought was it'd be awesome if we could craft jewelry out of mining goods...Like use the metals and the sapphires to create a necklace or a ring that when worn gives a buff of some type. 

I also think it'd be awesome to have clothiers! So many times in the wardrobe I've thought- "I love this shape, but the color is off".....what if we had a special skill where glitches could create clothing for others? (Even if it cost tokens to purchase the materials- I don't mind paying for the clothes, I'd just like them a bit more custom!) 

Just a few silly, girly thoughts. :)

  • Nothing silly about it. The game is done by artists and it appeals to the creative. Right now Glitch doesn't have any way to add user created content, but maybe someday...

  • Thank you, I appreciate you saying so! That was a very good way of putting it, that it appeals to all the creatives...I don't even mean it would have to be completely user created, it could be a generic set of items that we could customize just a little, you know? Kinda like in the Sims games on the Wii, you could create your own furniture, based off the plans they gave you, but you could give it your own spin.....anyways, just thinking out loud. :D

  • Talking to other ladies made the also think about maybe hairstyling being an option- maybe they could craft wigs for friends? ;) Hehe!

  • Yes to crafting, love the idea of a crafts skills tree.

    Cotton seed could be introduced, sheep or alpacas for wool and clothes could be created. Like you say Nutmeg, it doesn't have to be too detailed, but having options as to color and fit for some of the basic items regularly seen in wardrobe (plain T shirts, pants, skirts, etc.) would let people have more control over what they get to wear. I love lots of the choices in wardrobe and am sure that Glitch will continue to come up with fantastic additions as the game progresses, but player-created clothing would be an amazing  development.

    Before reading this post I hadn't realized that I would love to run a tailor shop in Glitch!

  • Oh my yes! We have discussed both sheep and silkworms as well! There are a lot of crafters waiting in the wings for such things :}

  • Ohh I'd love to be able to mine stuff, and then craft stuff with the stuff I mine. If only there were a game out there where you could mine AND craft. That would be awesome...

    In all seriousness though, +1

  • In my wild younger days when I enjoyed an occasional puff on that funny smelling tobacco, I would get very creative, so I know where you are coming from Nutmeg, but I think that is a great idea. If there was a way create jeweley or flower arrangements, I would never get off this puter Hummm maybe not... I let a lot of things go now when Glitch is open.
