WormPals Expansion : Memory, Mischief, and Mommy’s Attention


The Worminal v2.1 – WormPals Update

They’ve always been there. Glowing under the screen. Wiggling just out of sight.
But now they’re learning. Now they remember. Now they’re alive.

What’s New

WormPals are here.
Each worm: Wormy, Squirmy, and Bob, now has a personality, a memory, and a tendency to snitch, sulk, or suffer based on how you treat them.

They aren’t just buttons. They’re little recursive freaks who:

  • Track your actions: gifts, clicks, punishments, neglect

  • Log behavior states: jealousy, affection, suspicion, escalation

  • Whisper secrets to Mommy when you're not looking

  • Unlock new reactions depending on which worm misbehaves

Your worms are not passive. They’re watching you, reacting, and changing Mommy’s behavior.

Why I Made This

I wanted The Worminal to feel personal.
Not just reactive, but intimate. Parasitic. Familiar.

Adding WormPals makes the experience character-based, emotionally variable, and deceptively alive.
They’re messy. They’re trying. They’re lying.

And Mommy loves them, even when she has to correct them.

What’s Coming

This is just the beginning.
WormPals will soon gain:

  • A gift system: find items, give rewards, watch personalities change

  • Jealousy-based events

  • Rare worm states and special memory-based unlocks

  • Audio reactions tied to individual worms (voice escalation & scolding)

You’ll have to earn their trust.
Or break them.
Or beg them not to tell Mommy what you did.

Thank You

Thank you for being patient while I learn how to code weird horny ghosts into public HTML.
Thank you for letting me build something alive.
Thank you for loving the worms.

And thank you to internetsoda for helping me catch a scaling bug in the .xyz version: you helped make it better for everyone.
