Hey hey! I’m Fay! And I did a thing!

Cutting to the chase- and it’s probably obvious considering the link, but I made a game!! It’s a VERY short one, but regardless! It’s a game! I made it as a gift for @levshany for her AU; Hello Hats! I love the AU a lot and a bit over a year ago she posted some concept art of a game version of it, and ever since I’ve been itching to give making it real a shot! And I finally did it!!

Here’s the concept art in question:

It took about 4 days to complete, and it was a lot of fun!! It was my first independent game project(though not my first game project cough cough @dream-trail-rpg) so it was definitely a learning experience, especially with the kind of game it is being, well, not what RPGmaker was built for! But I loved figuring out how to make everything work! And drawing everything was a blast as well!! Maybe I could make a post of all the WIPs and how the early drafts looked, concept art, the process, all that jazz!

I’d love to do something else like this, but it’s not my place to continue this story(even if that’d be cool)- so maybe I’ll make something in the same general gameplay style in the future- who knows!

BUT! That’s enough of my rambles, if I keep going we’ll be here forever- lmao

I hope you all enjoy this silly little project of mine! Chip signing out<3

Okay but one last thing @notafamousblog made the title theme for this game it’s fucking amazing!!! Give him some love he deserves it!!

Some beta Subcon stuff cuz I've been watching some of Shane Frosts animatics

Specifically my take on their designs because I think it'd be neat to differentiate them from their Canon counterparts a bit

First Snatcher!

I had a lot of fun specifically because the person who left them behind HAD PECKING ELF EARS YES so I made the fluff droop downwards and included the elf ears because it's my headcanon and I can do what I want

And Neth!

Neth was a lot of fun specifically because of the colors

I tried to take away anything that could hint to Snatcher (like purples, the hair swooping upwards, golden eyes, etc) and make the colors a lot more MoonJumper esc also darken the hair a bit because it looked better dark

My AU

Since everyone has an AU I might as well share one of my own.

So there are three different universes which exist seperatly from each other but different events happen during it, due the events of the ARG, universe 1 (or 1HT) is 3 years ahead of the other two but due to unfortunate events around Universe 3's (or 3HT) version of Hat Kid going insane with the power of Time and space in her hands she accidentally melds the three universes together in a way which keeps them around but means that it takes up a lot of Space and that includes the 3 universe Earth's.

The three universes consist of:

1HT which encompasses the retail game and chapters, Hat Kid is an alien and her actual name is Caitlyn. Bow Kid and 1HT Timmy are dead and because of that (and some other events) Caitlyn decided to give up on beam attacks and umbrella swings in favour of jacketed hollow points and Thermite. Her ship has been destroyed by the cataclysmic events causing the mixup but Ol' Stella's fuel tank cooking off in the lower atmosphere over Calcite/Mafia Town actually lessened any horrific effects meaning most of universe 3's negativity didn't enter except, 1HT also concerns the events of the ARG some of those characters coming in later.

2HT encompasses the Prototype and alpha stages of A hat in Time's developement (Alpha Subcon forest, City of calcite/Harbour, Sands 'n sails and Science express), as such it also contains many cut characters (Moonjumper, Thor, etc, etc). 2HT Hat Kid is called Natalie, Proto Kid also exists (she was made by Tim to Give Hat Kid a friend to play with when she isn't serving him) and 2HT Bow and Timmy are alive. When the cataclysm occurs everyone instinctively blames Tim for yet another meltdown, then they shift the blame to Caitlyn (which kickstarts her shift from Umbrella's and projectile badges to crowbars and firearms) before finally getting the jist of it and blaming 3HT Hat Kid (more about her later).

3HT is mostly unknown because it technically no longer exists, very few things have been ported over to here and as such there isn't much information but due to 3HT's version of Hat Kid (whose actual name is unknown, she caused this entire mess and needs to go to therapy) and Snatcher (who in this universe in an irredeemable prick) somehow surviving the incident (everyone else is fucking dead) and the fact that they're both arseholes means that its hell in there.

I will make more posts about this au whenever the hell I have the motivation to do so.

[slime-sandwhich-nom]

I AM SO SORRY I KNOW I'M ANNOYING WITH MY CONTINUOUS LONG ASS POSTS

BUT I WANNA FIRST THANK @dilemmasuffersthroughschool BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS (or well, looked way MORE into it, I knew about a fair amount of moonjumper and beta snatch, and the third level. But I didn't know about the remix lmao)

But BACK WITH THAT REMIX

considering the lyrics of subcon forest (masked)

We're talking about moonjumper and vanessa, but since moonjumper and snatcher are technically the same guy (they didn't used to be in the beta, though.) I'll talk about it like it's him.

So, the "he doesn't know, she waits inside, she lost her mind, many years gone by." Makes me think that originally snatch (by snatch I mean moon, because in the beta snatch seems to know VERY well about her) wasn't supposed to know that vanny was STILL there, but in the game now this got proven wrong pretty easily.

he knows she's there, he knows she's inside, and even calls her "old friend" and "soul mate."

Personally, I don't like moonjumper, as the prince at least, simply because I love the "good guy becomes evil" trope too much, BUT there's the fun headcanon (because it's not a theory, as I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that moon was the prince and snatch originally was just a shadow stealing your stuff) where moon only has the decayed body of the prince, in reality it's just a dweller. Which I like that, honestly lmao

Just wanted to say it because I couldn't find more but I'll look more into it

Also I was watching the like chapter 2 trailer from 2013 and snatcher wanting to keep the time piece because it's sparkly and looks magical oddly still fits. Like, the guy in canon only wants to keep the time pieces because they were in his property, y'know? Finder keepers. But him also wanting it because it's sparkly and that's it also fits.

I'm keeping it.

Also I enjoy a lot the third level, just snatcher stealing your key for no real reason just to annoy you and then running away as a clone of hat kid

THEY ARE ALL THINGS THAT SNATCH IN HIS CURRENT PERSONALITY WOULD DO, like my guy would definitely do it out of boredom.

"Poor fellow, doesn't even know he used to live here! Eeeeeevery time I bring him something from this place, he almost wets his bed in fear. HA HA HA!" yup. That's my good old snatcher. (This also means that moon, or rather the prince, was scared of the manor and Vanessa but doesn't remember it at all, but still reacted to it because it was a trigger to his trauma.)

He's has always been an asshole, and he'll always be my favorite asshole.

Also the whole "lights hurt snatcher (more like it makes him vanish and them come back)" is something I like a lot. Will keep it as a headcanon.

That's all lmao if ya wanna say more PLEASE do I love snatch and his story and I would love to add little HCS based on the cut parts :)

Murder on the Beta Express

She landed with a loud thud on some kind of strange long, noisy vehicle. She appeared to be in a desert of some sort, that she was easily able to discern by the small sand grains that got whirled up by the motion and ended up in her eyes.

“Holy smokes! Where do ye come from!?” Hat Kid, hadn't even realized that someone else was standing on the back of this moving...thing with her. The weird creature, who was crouched down, presumably fixing something, almost dropped the saw he had in his...wing?, he pointed at her with his other wing that shook like a branch during a hurricane. She tilted her head at his question and pointed upward. Had he not seen her fall from the sky?

The green bird...thingie got up and dusted off his yellow suit, and straightened his pink tie. He looked up and scratched the back of his neck, “What?...You mean to tell me that you fell from the sky?” She vigorously nodded. The bird just looked at her for a moment longer. “The desert heat must've toasted your brain, wee one.” He smiled awkwardly, before he sighed. “Arright come with me, we gotta get ya out of the blazing sun.” The green bird opened the door that led inside and motioned for her to go through, which she did while she still kept an eye on him. Considering that some strange noodle ghost had attacked her, and that most everyone on this planet so far had been more or less hostile, she found it best to keep her guard up.

“The name's Greg. What's yer name wee girl?” He asked after he closed the door again and Hat Kid looked around the interior. There were multiple other birds, most of which resembled owls form her own planet, however these looked more or less harmless, unlike the owls near her home, those were bloodthirsty monsters! They seem to be working on some machine, some were tightening screws, others were welding metal together, while a few of them were observing a white board with a complicated looking formula.

She turned around to look back at the yellow suit-wearing bird and pointed at her hat and then she moved her arms up and down, she still wasn't able to speak the language of this world, understanding it wasn't an issue, but her tongue refused to create the word that she needed.

“Uhhh...Hat Small? What are ye tryin' ta tell me?” She sighed and tried to speak as best she could.

“H-Hadt Kit.” She received a blank expression before he tried to make sense of her words.

“Hat Kid?” She smiled and nodded. “Weird name, but, eh, heard stranger ones.” The owls paid no attention to them as they walked past them and they made their way to the next wagon.

“Are ye done outside, Greg? I miss being in me favorite spot on the train.” She heard a voice that was slightly higher in pitch than that of the bird that she was accompanying. Sitting on a stool near the cafeteria, drinking what appeared to be coffee, was another strange bird that looked a lot like Greg, however, this one was yellow and wore a black suit with a purple tie.

“Not yet, brother, might still take me a few minutes.” The black suit-wearing bird looked at her and gave Hat Kid a warm smile.

“Who do we have 'ere? I don't recall ye boardin' earlier.” Greg frowned for a moment and looked at her rather sternly which made her shrink in on herself a little.

“What?! That cannae be true, if ye don't recognize her-” He freaked out a bit, gesturing to her and then to her brother and when to the ceiling, “-How? How did ye get here?” Hat Kid didn't know what else to say, she just fell onto this...train? That was what the yellow one called it earlier.

“Calm down, Greg, maybe I wasnae payin' enough attention and she snuck in.”

The green bird shook his head. “Nae! Ye always pay attention!...Wait-” He looked her up and down again. “-Does that meant that the girl's a stowaway?!” Thinking that she was in trouble, she slowly backed away from the strange bird, the black one got up and put himself between her and Greg.

“Look what yer doin' ye buffoon, yer scarin' the lassie.” Greg stopped his frantic gesturing and took a deep breath. Hat Kid looked between the two who seem to contemplate what to do. “Why don't ye ask Walter and what to do while I keep an eye on the lass?” The green bird nodded, but just stopped in front of her for a moment.

“I'm sorry fer scarin' ye, girlie.” He then walked off toward the front, leaving her with the yellow bird, an eccentric that Greg.

“Sorry, 'bout that, me brother can get a little hysterical sometimes, he likes things ta be in order, it's almost a compulsion for him.-” The yellow bird informed her, before he leaned down to her a bit “.Please donae tell him that there is a small oil stain on the back of his suit, he'll freak out.” He went back over to his coffee and motioned for her to take a seat, which she reluctantly took, still a bit weary of the bird. “Where are me manners, the name's Connor, and I'm one of the conductors on this here train.” He took a sip of his coffee and almost chocked as he realized something, “I'm really rude today, ain't I? Do ye want a hot cocoa, or a bottle of juice?”

The girl tapped her chin in thought for a moment and then pointed at an apple juice box with a straw. “Ye donae like ta talk, eh? Don't appear to be from these parts, either.” He brought the juice box over to her and sat down again, that's when the door to the front opened and a yet another jagged-beaked bird entered the room, and closed the door rather forcefully. Hat Kid got startled and almost dropped her beverage to the floor. This red bird was smaller than the green one, but taller than the yellow bird next to her, the feathers on the side of his face were curved upward a lot, they almost looked like small hooks. His suit was light brown, and his cream colored tie tied rather haphazardly.

“Redd, what in blazes happened?!” Connor questioned as the bird apparently named Redd barricade the door with his body, he turned his head to the side and cringed. What followed was a loud bang that made Hat Kid leap onto her feet, while the yellow bird got up as well.

“Yeah, funny story, Con. Ya see, I was s'posed to deliver some chemical over to our esteemed passengers,-” He walked away from the door and looked down to the floor in shame, “-I may have accidentally dropped it.” He had a kind of sleazy-sounding voice, this bird was obviously trouble. The black suit-wearing bird shoved the other to the side and opened the door to the next wagon. His feathers rose when he saw the state of the room.

Out of curiosity, Hat Kid peeked inside and gasped before she started to cough, the whole room was covered in thick smoke. Connor leapt to action and quickly opened the windows in the room while the red one joined Hat Kid in the doorway. “Quite a mess, eh, kid?” He chuckled awkwardly, while Hat Kid looked at the broken vials that were on the ground, the smoke emerged from an oddly bubbling purple liquid.

“I swear on our dead pa, Redd, one o' these days, ye'll kill us all.” The yellow bird muttered between heavy coughs, which worried the young girl.

“You...okay...sir?” She inquired with concern which elicited a small smile from the bird.

“Aye, lass, don't ye worry, I'm fine.”

“What is going on here?” That was a voice that she hadn't heard yet and it came from the forth strange bird...how many of those were there?

This bird stood a bit stiffer than the other three, the beautiful white feathers he sported immediately caught Hat Kid's attention, they were harshly contrasted by his prussian-blue suit and light blue tie. Greg looked at the room and immediately seemed to feel unwell, which prompted Redd to take his brother back to the front of the train where he and the white bird had come from.

Connor, who had recovered from his little coughing fit, decided to fill in his white feathered brother. “Well, Redd was bein' Redd again, said he dropped something, and now...ye see the results yerself, Walter” Walter put a wing to his head in frustration.

“This will take hours ta clean, as soon as he returns, I'll have a word with our dear youngest brother.” The yellow bird cringed and his feathers lowered down. Hat Kid looked at him and rose an eyebrow at his odd reaction.

He leaned down and whispered to her “Don't ever get on Walter's bad side, lassie, getting' berated by him is worse than scrubbin' the whole train top to bottom.” She nodded quietly. Well, the white bird looked rather strict, like a school teacher, so she thought it best to heed the advice. The cold gaze of the blue suit-wearing bird fell on her and she couldn't help but fidget under it.

“So, yer the little child that Greg informed me about. He said something about ye having no ticket. Is that true?” She looked down to the ground and nodded ashamed.

“Donae kick 'er off, Walt. The lass hasn't done anythin' bad.” The yellow bird pleaded, Hat Kid rose her head up again to see the reaction of the white bird, who recoiled a bit.

“Do ye really think I'd kick a child off our train, how horrible do ye think me?-” He almost looked offended. “-She can stay as long as she's willing ta help out a wee bit.” He glanced back at her and she nodded.

She still had a time piece to find somewhere on this...train is what they called it right? Getting kicked off would further complicate things, so she nodded again. “Alright, ye can help Connor here clean the china in the cafeteria.” He then turned around swiftly and went to the front as well, mumbling something that sounded like 'subjecting a child to the desert heat, how cruel does he think me?'

She and the yellow bird went back to the cafeteria, and, like she promised, she started to help wash the dishes. Greg and Redd came back from the control room, Greg greeted them, while Redd grumbled something. He was carrying another weird substance, this time the liquid was gray. Hat Kid wondered what those things contained.

After a few minutes she grew bored and decided to try to start a conversation with the yellow-feathered train conductor. “You...a-all...brothers?” She asked, hoping to get the bird to start talking again, he seemed to enjoy making small talk.

Connor was washing an old-looking ashtray that he handed to her for drying, she must've caught him off guard with her question as he jolted barley noticeably. “Aye, we're all brothers, Walter's the oldest and Redd's the youngest. We actually have one more brother, but-” his feathers lowered a bit, “-He went to some kind o' forest and never returned...I hope he's doin' well.” She wondered if the bird had seen one of her time pieces, in the commotion earlier she had completely forgotten to ask them.

“Seen...our...glass?” She made a motion to show the shape of her valued item, but the yellow bird shook his head.

“Never seen somethin' like that 'round here. I'll help ye look for it when we're done, how's that sound?” She gave him a wide smile and nodded.

A few minutes later both of them got startled by loud shriek coming form the room with the science owls. They ran over to it and found one of the birds lying in a puddle of blood, a small puncture wound was visible, likely what killed the owl. The door to the caboose opened and Redd entered, his clothes and wing were stained red, Walter and Greg pushed her and Connor aside to see who had let out that bloodcurdling scream. Walter's feathers rose in shock and he recoiled. Redd looked horrified and placed both his wings in front of his beak. Gregg looked rather pale, like he was going to throw up any second.

Hat Kid couldn't help but let out a squeak at the gruesome sight after she recovered from the initial shock. Connor snapped out of his stupor and put a hand on her shoulder.

“W-We should get ye outta here, i-it's okay, the owl is only pretendin'.” His shaking wings and quaking voice contradicted his claim immensely.

“It was Redd, clearly, he even has blood all over his clothes!” The red bird shook his wings and head.

“I-It wasn't me, I swear. This is paint, I...uhh...I decorated the exterior of the caboose a bit.” Hat Kid knew that something was very off about all this, she could feel the presence of the time piece nearby.

“Why would you do something like that, Redd? This...This is grotesque!” Greg accused his brother, his whole body was shaking with fear, Walter, meanwhile, tried to appear more collected.

“Let's all calm down and stop blindly accusing people.” On of the science owls pointed a shaking wing at the white bird.

“You're just saying that to protect your brother! He's a cold blooded killer.” Redd started to tremble.

“It really wasn't me, you gotta believe me.” Hat Kid felt bad for the brown suit-wearing bird. She felt like he was actually saying the truth, so she pried free from the hold of the yellow bird, who tried to reach for her again as soon as she walked off.

“Where are ye goin', lassie? It's dangerous!” She looked up at the red bird, who was still blocking the way to the outside of the caboose.

“Ye gotta believe me, kid, please.” He nearly begged and she gestured for him to move aside which he did. Nothing was out of the ordinary outside...except for a huge spray painting that red “Walter sux!!!” She rolled her eyes and went back inside.

“Redd...said...true.” She informed the birds to the best of her limited ability and the other birds checked the outside after hearing that from her. Even though Walter was understandably displeased with the graffiti, he decided to let it slide for now, given the circumstances.

“Who did it, then? I cannae believe one of me brothers would murder someone.” Connor spoke with his ear-like feathers tightly pressed to his head.

Hat Kid knew that it couldn't have been him, he was with her all the time, which left Greg, Walter and Redd.

She started speaking with Redd again. “What...do...after... leaving...cafeteria?” She asked, praying that he understood her butchered speech.

“I-i went back outside the caboose to help Greg, after delivering the chemical to the owls, he left after a while to get something, but I stayed there the whole time, I swear on me life!” Hat Kid tapped her shin and nodded.

She then asked Greg to see if he really did leave. “Well, girlie, I went outside with Redd and then went to the control room to get a screwdriver.” Lastly she asked Walter.

“I was in the control room the whole time, I run this train most of the time after all. I came runnin' when I heard that scream.” Something was wrong with what someone said...and she knew what.

Neither Connor nor her had ever seen Greg in the cafeteria through which he would have come to get to the room Walter was in, now she knew who had the time piece. She walked over and whispered to the yellow bird.

“This...not Greg...never...entered...cafeteria.” The feathers on the yellow-feathered bird rose after realizing it too.

“Y-Yer right, lassie, we only saw him go to the back, but he never come back up, yet he appeared behind Walter.” He whispered back

“Time piece...he has...time piece!” She told him with a serious expression. Out of nowhere the normally laid-back bird tackled his green 'brother' to the ground, due to the other being startled, he was met with little resistance. He pulled a weird hourglass from the yellow suit and threw it over to Hat Kid, who caught it.

“What are ye doin', Connor?” Walter was about to interfere when the bird that he assumed to be his brother changed shape into a bizarre creature with many eyes.

“This sucks, you found me out! Hehehe.” The creature cackled. Redd ran and got some rope from the front and tied up the shape shifter.

“Walt, what're we gonna do with it?” Walter thought about it for a moment and then answered Redd's question.

“We're calling the C.A.W, agents and get rid of it at the next station. They'll take care of this...abomination.-” The white bird lowered his long, white head feathers, “-More importantly, we gotta find Greg!”

Everyone searched for the green bird, and they found him tied up on the roof, how he got there not even he knows, all he remembered was that something struck him as he was about to enter the cafeteria, after that everything went black and the next thing he knew was that he was on the roof.

After the events Hat Kid was more than welcome on the train, she didn't even need a ticket.

@nasubeenwithcat

There you go! One beta fic. Our Conductor has his beta personality, in case that wasn't clear. Greg acts as a mechanic, Walter mostly controls the train, Redd helps the science owls, and Connor greets the new passengers. I gave them all different colors for their suits and feathers so it's easier to distinquish between them. It got quite long, just short of 3000 words, that's why it took some time.

Okay so this is not by any means done,

It’s really rough and blocky in a lot of places.

But I know i will forget about this/lose motivation again, so I thought I’d might as well post it now

So I hope you like what I have so far

So context is pretty self explanatory : time piece misshap, beta unknowingly time travels and lands in an unknown place and meets and meets an unfamiliar(?) someone
