[edit] Story
According to the game's official website, the story will involve some sort of comet from the planet Claypool having passed close to the planet Earth, raining down a strange green dust in its wake. While Earth's scientists deemed the powder as harmless to humans, they failed to notice that tiny plants including mushrooms, cacti, and kudzu gained sentience. In order to survive, the newly conscious plant peoples soon formed into tribes, and war inevitably followed. The story also chronicles the life of the main character Pax, a lone bolete mushroom who is trying to find his place in mushroom society. Les Claypool is set to voice all the characters in the game as well as score the music.
[edit] Tribes
In the August 2007 issue of Gamepro magazine, four different tribes of mushrooms were revealed in a 'Know Your.. Mushroom Men' article. Interestingly, the names and characteristics of all the tribes correspond to the species of real-world mushrooms for which they're named.
- Bolete - The Bolete are the innocent aboriginal tribe of the mushroom universe, a shamanistic society with heavy emphasis on creative production and the well-being of their general populace. They are good melee fighters and they would prefer to live at peace with the land and their fellow mushroom men.
- Amanitas - Of all the poisonous mushrooms, Amanitas are the most lethal. The Amanitas are extremely pale, very thin, and creepy looking. They ride spider mounts and use small spiders as attack beasts
- Morel - The mysterious Morel brotherhood delves more into science and advancing their spore powers than any other mushroom species. Their weapons, built primarily for defense, are technically advanced, though they are not war-like at all.
- Lepiota - The evil Lepiota use poisonous spore powers as well as dark magic to enforce their aggressive religious beliefs. They build shrines in antique human hardware like old juke boxes and mid-century automobiles.
[edit] Weapons
The game will feature weapon construction, as the player finds junk that can be converted into weaponry. For example a club made of a corncob.
[edit] Music
The music for the game is entirely done by Les Claypool of Primus fame. [2]
