Badges & Emots?
Any plans to implement badges and emoticons for this installment? It could extend the emoticon library that is slightly incomplete from the original game.




Personally, I want to create a scene using Snakebird emoticons (and Steam emoticons in general) but I can't make something that has all of the fruits.
Here's a run-down of what I have been able to compensate for and what I have not:

AVAILABLE VIA SNAKEBIRD:
- Red, Green, & Blue bird heads, facing 1 direction of the 4 directions they can face & only 1 expression they make.
- Orange,
- Banana,
- Cherry,
- Portal

COMPENSATED VIA SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER STEAM EMOTS:
- light & dark segments of red, green, and blue snakebird bodies
- Strawberry
- Lemon
- Pear
- Grapes (not a very good looking substitution)
- Pineapple (not a very good looking substitution)
- Watermelon (but not a watermelon slice)
- The Void... sort of: :seewhatyoudid:

NO SUBSTITUTION AVAILABLE (doesn't exist at all as an emot on the Steam Market):
- Yellow Snakebird head (in any direction)
- any Snakebird tail (not a big deal given that the emots that work for the Snakebird bodies are somewhat crude as well)
- light segment of Yellow Snakebird (ie. pale yellow, solid color, squares are hard to find on Steam. There's a couple yellow ones but they're either dark or beveled (the Zup boxes))
- Peach
- Plum
- Watermelon Slice (slice, not whole melon)

Yes, surprisingly there IS NOT a Peach or a Plum emot on Steam... at all.
I also found the watermelon slice from Snakebird Primer to be the most iconic representation (symbol) of watermelon that I have ever seen in my life. Other things from the game that I think would be fun emots:
- the 1x1 pushable block - esp the rainbow version from final level
- 1x1 spinning void blocks
- spike
- spike from final level
- Temple portal
- a 1x2 block split up into 2 emots that can be connected by placing them side-by side
- the jumping square guys
- the steam boat from the map
- the iconic letter "i" with the strawberry dot, from the title screen
- level not completed shape
- level completed star
- flying fish
- literally anything from the "Curious George" achievement, including new clickable assets from Primer

Other notes:
- solid color square emots almost always sell for the highest rate (of all Steam emots) on the Steam Community Market - not sure if Valve would have an issue with you releasing emots like this with this in mind but it could be more profitable than other emot types -- there have only been 3 exceptions that I've seen to this trend and I'm convinced it's simply because not many people know about those solid colored squares yet.
- rainbow colored emots almost always sell for the second highest rate (of all Steam emots) on the Steam Community Market *cough cough* :rude:
- there never will be a substitutable emot for representing the snakebird heads, tails, or any other unique IP that Noumenon would own the rights to, unless the devs of Snakebird deliberately make it into an emot.
- my favorite fruit is watermelon, and I'd love to put a Snakebird watermelon emot on my profile under "About Me: Favorite Fruit"

Badges:
- Banana
- Kiwis (wait, were there even kiwis in Snakebird???)
- Oranges
- Watermelon
- Pineapples
- The Never Ending Fruit (I would have LOVED to have seen even just 1 level with this concept implemented in-game)

even though I like Watermelon, personally, I think I might just go for the single banana badge. It's simplistic and I like bananas - for reasons beyond bananas just being good...: :bcoin: :mm_bananas:

I think the strawberry, Primer watermelon slice, and cherry, would also make good badges. very iconic items to set as "favorite badge". Although, personally, I think I'd prefer one of those spining void blocks with the rainbow trail, but... I prefer planets, so it's unlikely that I'd set that as my favorite badge over the Saliens one I have set right now.
A family of those happy little jumping square guys would make a pretty sweet badge too.

Are there apples in these games? I see an apple on the Winter Islands card but I don't remember there being any apples in Snakebird... shame too, I always thought apples would be really fitting for this game:
