Thin, thin legs!

Very nice work.

I was suppressing my initial instinct to create an unstoppable engine of destruction, maybe even a little too much. For game balance purposes, and because the focus of the game was trade rather than combat, I made something that relied more on quickness and intelligence rather than brute force. In any case, once you have technology, you don't need a lot of physical prowess to do a lot of damage. You still wouldn't want to get in melee combat with one, but they wouldn't run away with the game.

Very nice. Any of the races truly exotic? Nonhumanoid, possibly non-carbon?

The three races at the start were all DNA based with similar tech levels, though the plan was to introduce new races as the game expanded.

This would work.

I vote for bats!

Did the game blow up? what I am googling doesn't look like what I originally saw...

Basically, providing for a family took priority, and I can't fault him for that.
