#BIG change to the gameplay

[thegameartist03]

watched a playthrough of Still Wakes the Deep (PHENOMENAL game) and i am disappointed that Caz did not have that taffy in him. everything seemed like it was perfectly set up for him to have that taffy in him (being presumed dead after rescue, knowing where the taffy stuff was around him, surviving as long as he did, not getting horribly injured, hearing things from the Big Taffy) but i completely understand why that wasn't the twist the game developers went for.

however, in order to cope i am now imagining a version of the game where Caz got Ethan Winters'd by the taffy after he fell in the water. this would affect the gameplay at multiple points and add new mechanics as well as incorporate the original ones, and certainly provide some conflict for a man who just wants to get home to his wife and daughters and keep his friends safe.

bonus! being taffy'd would give the player the option to save people who originally died by sacrificing Caz's humanity bit by bit and embracing the taffy more to overcome obstacles. you could even communicate with the already fully taffy'd guys and get them to calm down or move or target specifically you instead of other people.

just a concept, i probably won't do much with it. but i do have a very distinct image of Caz having a shiny oilslick sheen to his eyes like the Big Taffy after he's pulled out of the water.

I felt Waffle gets quite lonely during the day when Daphne is at work so we adopted a little friend for him. Meet Maple, the sausage dachshund

outside, cairo suggests for liyah not to drive back home. but liyah's response when he suggests getting a hotel for her is quite interesting. she was disappointed. was she expecting him to ask her to stay with him at his apartment? cairo's smile is almost predatory. he didn't expect that him being kind & gentle would work on liyah that fast. as for liyah, she genuinely was disappointed. she wasn't a child; she knew she was starting to feel something for cairo. but liyah had to remember that cairo had elizabeth. wrecking homes wasn't a big deal to her but only if the other person showed her obvious interest. so far, cairo hadn't done that.

some thoughts.

been thinking about actually giving the Primordial SMP a real story title after all this time, since it's not really an SMP anymore. it used to be based on actual Minecraft gameplay, but Cookie and I have just come up with so much original content over time that it's kind of its own thing now, to some extent??

only thing I'm really unsure of is whether or not I should continue to tag it with the Minecraft tag, since like. part of it still very heavily references things that have actually happened while playing MC, including direct relation to a legit adventure map that doesn't belong to us (as well as some gameplay mechanics that are relevant for certain parts of the story). but also the story is filled with a LOT of original content that we just came up with ourselves, like the characters and their backstories, so I don't know.

I do know I'll likely be splitting everything into three distinct Acts, with both Act I and Act II of the story taking place within Drehmal and Atria, respectively (two worlds based on actual Minecraft worlds that we've played in)... so maybe just those two could be tagged as Minecraft? not sure. Act III takes place within Aya's home world though, which is a fully original concept that's separate from any Minecraft mechanics or ideas, so I don't need to worry about that.

either way, all of this is still just kinda rotating around in my head for now. haven't decided on a story title yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to let y'all know how I'm planning on organizing it from that point on :'0

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about which iterations of mario are harmless lil woodland creatures but I’ve just discovered Him:

look at this. he feeds on naught but morning dew so that he might never harm another creature. he is the most pure and innocent thing I have ever seen. i want to pick him up like a bug and place him safely on a leaf. i could watch his little dance forever

Introducing Derek Roark, for @loveryss' Embracing Erin

[He / Him] Traits: Socially Awkward, Animal Enthusiast, Loyal Aspiration: Friend of the Animals Likes: Orange, Guitar, Ranch Music, Stories, Pet Enthusiasts Dislikes: Pipe Organ, Deception, Egotistical Sims

Derek comes from a long line of very successful Detectives. Both his grandmother and father made it to Chief, so his future was pretty much set up for him the moment he was born. Despite this, he was told all his life that he was too soft, kind-hearted, and weak to make it in Law Enforcement. So he vowed to prove everyone wrong, especially his father. As soon as he finished High School he joined the Police and became a Cadet.

One year later he was one of the best Officers in the Station, had a steady relationship with a coworker, and his relationship with his father was the best it has ever been.

But was he happy?

One day, a work incident due to his burnout, had him rethink all his life. He quit the job, packed his bags, and moved away, leaving his partner and his father behind, never looking back.

Now, one year later he's finally living a life that makes him happy. He surrounds himself with animals all day helping ranches in Chestnut Ridge and plays guitar whenever he can. And he is finally ready to settle in and find someone who shares the same passion for animals as he does. Will that someone be Erin?
