#Murder Drones… ramblings?

[audiart]

Cyn post-series gets her own body after Uzi's had enough deadpan commentary from her. She's a Solver user as it's the only way her OS is operational and it helps with her limb functions, she really doesn't like using or relying on it though.

The way I see it, AS users don't unlock the fleshy tail/wing bits unless they're badly overheating (kinda last resort like Material Collection) so as long as she stays topped up she's fine!

Her relationships with the DDs and Uzi are understandably strained but slowly they're getting to know the real Cyn. Lizzy 'kidnaps' her for sleepovers often, she's the first real friend from the colony :D

how ive been feeling the past couple of days. i have no shame

[jazzyblusnowflake]

Has V and Uzi ever tried topping N instead of N and V topping Uzi?

Oh definitely :"3 he likes it~

N has his moments true- but he would do anything for his ladies, first and foremost uwu - ESP IF it gets him to receive any sort of pampering/ kisses/ praise/ etc as reward~ :p [not that he needs to they just shower him with it ksdkjsfks]

admittedly he really likes being bottomed by V because of several reasons- one of which being she knows him better and it really does feel nice having his decades-year-old crush praising him and giving him kisses and caresses/ etc-

But also being bottomed by Uzi feels like a communication of trust and bonding in such a more intimate way that makes him crave more- also its kinda funny when you consider a big machine-eating predator letting himself be completely in the hands of a shrimpy chaos gremlin of doom sfkjsdkjfk

Uzi supports him emotionally just as much as V and when they kinda sandwich him inbetween with kisses and caresses- he is just literally fluttering with love overdose and a heart eyed visor- [remember boi literally gets excited at the smallest things and yes by flutter i mean the dreaded wingboner ur welcome-]

They have def thought of this once, or dozens of times.

The other one

Nori takes Core!Alice for "walks" using a reinforced hamster ball.

If she behaves, she might be able to ditch the ball and be taken out on a leash

[s-wave-entertainment]

Okay so like. A little while back, MD theory YouTuber "LoreDrone" made a video theorizing that the "X" over the visor of a disassembly drone (or any drone for that matter) means that some core string of theirs has been turned off. I'm glad he did, because upon viewing and properly considering the tape from episode 5, I realize he is completely right. Now, we'll never know exactly what strings are inside any drones, but your honor, I'm pretty sure that for N he literally turns off his ability to feel guilt/shame while hunting. And I think this can be supported, seeing as this is a canon thing:

So to contextualize an earlier rant, when I see this:

It makes me think N literally turns off a part of his mind when he enters "hunting mode." It's likely something the Solver programmed into him, seeing as it also admit to allowing them to keep their personalities, but notice how it's kind of off and then turns fully off - something we've only seen one other time in the series, in the very beginning where he was apologizing to Uzi for what he had to do despite having had fun with her - when he actually goes through with the action? When he cuts off the head of someone he thinks he loves?

Yeah so anyway. The dog may have teeth, but that doesn't mean he wants to bite.

Please get this man hugs and therapy and chocolate milk and a goddamn cookie-

How do worker drones grow in your AU?

Do they grow faster or just as slowly as humans?

i was compiling some of my personal headcanons so might as well share em here!! I'd say faster tbh but theres a lot of variables that go into it too

When making Worker Drones, they could use the good Ol' JCJenson Standard Personality Ready2Go AIs with preset skills, knowledge, etc that evolve over time on a mature frame (prefab Drones i.e Khan, Nori, Yeva, the Teacher.. Gen 0 created by humans)

Orrrr the more "home grown" route of cultivating new neural pathways into a one-of-a-kind unique Drone AI (UNN Drones i.e Uzi, Lizzy, Thad.. Gen 1 made on Copper-9) that need a more hands-on learning approach than just downloading information.

Dronekind learned how to make UNNs on their own without human intervention, so a lot with rearing the First Gens was a guessing game of what works lol. Each Drone matures differently so some reach adulthood sooner than others, it just depends on what their codes require. They do mimic humans, but are still robots at the end of the day

Nori, being paranoid the first time mom with Uzi, carried her for like 11 months which is why she's so similar to her mom. But with Porter, Nori carried for far less so the lil tyke is a good mix of both Khan and Nori's traits!

First impressions with The Gaslight District trailer

Really enjoy how the animation is done. Almost seems like some of it was done maybe on twos instead of ones (24 fps is average and considered animating on ones, so twos would be half at 12 fps) giving it a slightly choppier feel in some instances. Could be wrong on that part, but do know going back that there’s moments where the point of impact is delayed to give an extra punch to whatever is happening. With the editing, gives an impression those are some serious moments.

Stylization very unique and different than the previous two shows. I remember in GlitchX 2023 it was mentioned they were pushing themselves with the stylization and their attempts at getting it right, and it shows. It almost makes me think of a video game with how the graphics are, and I mean that in a good way. Lots of clean but dramatic lighting and solid models for the characters. some of the camera angles also gives this idea, like when it pans from the side to the front of the house (shop?) makes me think the beginning of a cut scene. Plus, some of the details on skin and hair make me think of almost cell shading for comics where there’s a slight line to indicate muscle or hair strands.

Speaking of that particular moment, I’m almost getting earlier 3D animation, like from the 90s-2000s, specifically Monster House. Something about it gives me that same vibe. Also kind of resembles Claymation with the texturing and such, but clearly computer animated.

Honestly just going over the trailer a few times the animation is soooo good. the studio really is getting better and better every episode of their series. Like thinking how Murder Drones started verses how it ended in graphics alone shows how they improved. There’s even signs of better quality between episode one and four of Digital Circus. and it just looks so professional. Big round of applause for everyone who works there/for them for their efforts.

Both from the synopsis of the video and a few things in the video itself indicates the series is going to be quite a doozy. Undead gangsters in a (potentially) gothic punk environment. Whole bunch of conflict from that alone I’m sure, plus what’s going on with our main lead (trying making out her name but just can’t quite get it; if someone could tell me what it is, that’d be great). The main character seems to be loyal to the family she’s part of, but also curious as to where she came from. One scene shows a part of a conspiracy string board with a photo of her and what I’m assuming is her father figure, a torn paper reading “where do I come from?” and a newspaper clipping about humans and how they’re tied to a prophecy involving the destruction of the Gaslight District. Probably suspects she’s not actually undead, or was a human that was killed and revived but with her memories fuzzy at best (We got quite a few characters with memory problems in the Glitch verse. First Tari in Meta Runners, then N in Murder Drones, Pomni and the rest of the humans in Digital Circus and now our main girl here. Is having some form of amnesia a required trope for Glitch? /j)

I swear I know the voice of the main girl, but I can’t put my finger on it. Big butcher bug looking guy kind of sounds like Pete from all the Mickey Mouse stuff (grew up watching a lot of Disney stuff don’t come at me for the first idea I got) but a lot more gravely.

I feel like I’m going to say this a lot, but very unique designs for the cast. With things like animation what makes them stand out from one another is the designs of the cast and world as a whole. There’s some gangly boney like characters in the background and then the main cast. There’s the bug butcher that also almost makes me think of the Kraang from TMNT 2K12, a guy with a loaf of bread for a head, skin degrading skeleton guy, and our main girl that looks mostly mummified if the wrappings around her body are any indication. Not to mention that giant thing with the eye both in the thumbnail and family photo. I feel like @endomentendo is really going to get a kick out of the designs here because a lot of reminds me of their art, at least with some of their OCs. I want to push my capabilities of drawing characters that aren’t quite perfectly human so I might try my hand at drawing one of these guys for practice. (anyone else notice one guy eating cars that has a head that I think is supposed to be a luggage bag but looks a lot like Caine?)

Intrigued by the soundtrack. Like the hollow-ish bell sounds in the first half and then the more hopeful, light track of the second half that’s paired with the violence. Bright happy music with sad or violent things has got to be one of my favorite tropes. And sound design in general is really good. with the whispers and the different sound effects like the gun shots and punches and drowning, all well done.

Overall, a testament to the team’s work and skill, and showing another example of someone’s creativity being highlighted in a way they may not have had the chance before. I vaguely remember how Part Time Seagull (the creator of The Gaslight District) was working/planning to make this a series, but 2D and had some concept art, which is how he was found by Glitch. It really is great that the studio is trying to help people have their dreams realized and helping others showcase their works and ideas (thinking how GlitchX 2024 was more of a showcase of others’ works then their own). Truly a powerhouse of indie animation.

Watch the trailer here:

what the fuck am i doing. scheduling this at 1am.

[dronebiscuitbat]

Good morning!

Headcanon time.

You know how N seemed really hesitant to hold Uzi's hand in episode 4 but was like, "that was always the plan." In episode 8?

I now have the headcanon that N figured out his feelings in that exact moment. He didn't pull away because he didn't want to. But because it made him feel a certain way and he was like "oh! wait! Oh no!" And panicked a bit.

Which brings me to the fact that N and V were at her house in the beginning of episode five, and it's implied that they passed out while there. Not that they were dragged in after they passed out elsewhere.

Which brings me to my question? What were they doing?

V would still very much be trying to kill Uzi at this point, so I kinda think she arrived after N and Uzi were alone for a little bit, and I think they had the most dorky, awkward little hangout session possible. With N trying to subtlety clue Uzi in in his feelings with her just... completely ignoring it because insecure.

So when he says "that was the plan."

He meant "I have literally been trying to ask you out all day. Thank you for finally noticing!"

And yeah I just thought that was cute...
