I Finally won...
Now I can rest in peace...
Now what? How does one play the rest of it instead of wasting one's time by doing random stuff?
Oh, yeah, even though the game ends with a fight, fighting is only about 20-30% of the game, really.
Not-random-stuff to do:
-unlock new species as starters and gallery by getting them lvl 10
-unlock new traits to put on your starters to make future runs easier! (for reference, my starter Shadowlizard starts with +95% strength through traits, lol)
-become the pervy voyeur matchmaker to breed new creatures. you can even participate.
-breed your first 20/10 genes unit and pat yourself on the back
-level up a dragon to 30 and pat yourself on the back some more
-groom one dream unit (20/10 genes and 5+ relevant beneficial traits for its role) and finish breaking your back through self-pats overdose
-bribe and make town NPCS love you until you can pull them into your fold for exploitation
-level up spirits of each element to 15 to unlock that affinity as starter (rock, shadow, light, ice)
-do you even lift, bro? level up your MC to become even more buff.
-BRING YOUR RIVALS TO THEIR KNEES, FEARFUL OF YOUR ARMY OF SEEDLING DRAGONS
-commit regicide AND paricide at the same time (playing as Viridion) to learn his dirty secrets and be haunted by this memory forever afterwards, and meeting your childhood sweetheart.
-groom a team of champions of the arena
-look at the achievements and think "hmmm... bet i can do that"
more realistically, it's a sandbox game. So yeah, random stuff, the only mandatory objective is the rival fight on the last day.
