More Fan Game Ideas

….I’ve seen a lot of fanart of characters babysitting Kirby, or Kirby being portrayed as near the infant or toddler stage, ala the anime. Due to my long history with the character, and having never watched the anime, my own personal Kirby skews a bit older (though it depends on the game/where it falls in the timeline, too.) 

Brief aside: while the Japanese uses “若者” (“wakamono”) for Kirby, roughly translated as “youth” or “adolescent”, the actual range that word covers can run almost up into middle age! (I’ve always considered the closest parallel to “wakamono” being an old person calling anyone from a younger generation "sonny") Anyway, semantics aside, it's not the word you'd typically use for a toddler, but for this fan game? Toddler Kirby IS our hook! 

One day, notorious pranksters Marx and Magolor team up to pull one over on Kirby by using some random Ancient artifact just lying around (seriously, those things are everywhere!) Let's call this one "The Dream Bottle." And it turns Kirby into a tiny infant, complete with pacifier and silly curl of hair from that cancelled Kid Kirby game with the really cursed Kid Dedede design! Success! Now that Kirby is (relatively) powerless, nothing can stop them from ruling Popstar!!

…That is, until a much greater and more dangerous threat than the two of them combined show up and REALLY threaten the planet! Ack! We need Kirby! In fact, the villain of the week :cough: I mean game may even DEMAND that Kirby appear and fight them! Disobey, and they'll destroy Popstar bit by bit until Kirby (at full strength!) is brought before them for a REAL fight!!

("Hey! You can't do that! That's OUR planet!")

Ah well! Prank time is over! Unfortunately...The Dream Bottle is empty now and it needs to be refilled with, uh, liquified "Star Essence” or something! And they have to fill the whole bottle to restore Kirby to normal! But alas, it's a very hard to acquire substance! It’s scattered all over the galaxy, but you can typically only find a spoonful per planet! And of course... say it with me now... 

It’s jealously guarded by all sorts of mean baddies!

Dedede, Meta Knight, and the rest of the cast stay behind to defend Popstar and hold off/mollify/distract the main villain while Marx and Magolor get sent :cough: booted :cough: off planet to FIX THEIR DARN MISTAKE!

And oh yes, they have to take Kid Kirby with them. (They have the bottle, after all.)

Thus, you have a game that's a magical adventure galavanting across space using the Lor to move from star system to star system as Marx and Magolor collect drops of star essence to fill this silly magical baby bottle all while having to look after a toddler Kirby! …Who, needless to say, is almost CONSTANTLY hungry! (Marx and Magolor too overpowered to lose to common enemies? I agree! But Kid Kirby's shouts and cries when they've gone too long without food? Now THAT's something that'll damage your health!)

The main gameplay cycle would be the swappable character mechanic, switching between Marx and Magolor on the fly. But one of them would always have to be the “babysitter” - carrying Kirby with them. When the one in the lead is also the babysitter, it massively limits their attacks and ability to defend themselves. But it unlocks new abilities for them! 

Magolor is able to use Kirby like a handheld vacuum cleaner to draw heavy obstacles closer or as a bellows to blow out fire, and Marx can use a puffed up Kirby for additional lift or toss them up in the air to hit overhead switches.

...Btw, in case it needs to be said: DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OF THIS WITH A LIVING HUMAN BEING IN REAL LIFE!! (Marx and Magolor only treat Baby Kirby like this because they are a) ex (?) villains and b) terribly irresponsible.)

Ahem! For the end game, either the villain steals the Dream Bottle just as the two finish filling it up because they finally accept Kid Kirby as THE Kirby they've been looking for and realize they are fine with defeating them in this weakened state! (At which point, Marx and Magolor have to take out the boss because of the "I'm the only one allowed to defeat you!" clause.) Or there's some other final challenge you have to complete, and a restored Kirby defeats the villain threatening Popstar with such ease, it barely even looked like a threat in retrospect! "What did they come here for, you think....?")

Anyway! I adore talking and thinking up game ideas! I only wish I had the skills (......and the time......) to make ANY of this a reality, because to be honest, I had a lot of fun conceptualizing this one! (And would love to play it, ahaha!)

Meanwhile, here's some quick sketches to end the post!

[sweetandglovelyart]

Got the new Peach game, and I also still have the original one that I played as a kid 👑

[bobzora]

plugin wouldn't work so that means DIY :)

literally just a tiny bit of googling script calls goes a long way. like 5 minutes of work and 3 lines of code (could've been 2 but i wanted it cleaner) instead of using someone else's plugin that has a ton of features you do not want or need. love wins forever

What do you think about 5cp TF2 map Gullywash?

Getting autobalanced on Gullywash feels especially tragic.

More sketches and more impressions under the cut.

In order to draw this, I watched some highlander matches on Gullywash, due to finding no matches in competitive, and the aimbots going rampant in casual. I was only able to play 5 proper matches on casual, (2 of which my teams won purely due to team imbalance,) so some of this is based on what I saw other people were doing in competitive match recordings, as well as how it feels to play on community servers with AI train bots. No one was playing whenever I was queueing up :(

I learnt very fast that Gullywash is one of these maps where you will die a lot, or steamroll the capture points, and there is no in-between, because you either position yourself correctly or you don't. While this goes for every map in tf2, I never really felt frustrated when dying here. I could always find a reason for my mistakes and generally it turned out to be a very rewarding learning experience.

I think Gullywash is extremely fun and fast paced. I especially enjoy giving scouts and pyros overheal buffs, because of how much flanking you can do here. The symmetry of the map is immaculate and the amount of objects that just lie around allows demos to place a lot of traps and players to just hide in corners.

(Using Scouts as your Uber Driver here is also especially fun, so many near death situations!)

For some reason, the soldiers and demos who play on this map are really good at protecting medics? That's the impression I got, everyone knew when to retreat and not push, everyone turned around when they saw my health go down, everyone was shooting the spies for me when we were in the open and I was too focused with healing the people fighting death matches at the front so we could capture.

(My personal heroes who just rocket jump over to you just to shoot the spy 2m away from you, and then just rocket jump away again)

Snipers aren't much of a problem, since there are so many options for hiding properly while still being able to reach your team mates. The same sadly doesn't apply to spies and I think I have died more to spies on this maps than to sticky traps.

While I love the vaccinator, I think Stock and Kritz are the better options on this map. Nothing cries geneva convention war crime more than entering the door to the last capture point and ubering a soldier who starts spamming everyone with rockets in this rather crammed up room where everything can give you splash damage.

Shoutout to a pyro called Joey who carried the last game I played, it was a blast ubering you through the last capture point.

We didn’t get a S4 announcement, but you know what the absolute best thing about today’s C2E2 Hannibal panel truly was? 

For almost the first time since the show ended, Fannibals showed how profitable Hannibal can still be. 

C2E2 sold out of their remaining VIP ticket packages with guaranteed panel seating within 48 hours of the reunion announcement. Paid PopVerse subscriptions to stream the panel spiked with previously untapped demos (if socials are anything to go by). The largest event hall at C2E2 was overcapacity 45 minutes before the panel; while that’s normal for cons like SDCC and NYCC, in my experience that’s less common at C2E2.

Not to mention Mads and Hugh making bank with autograph and photo-op sales; a huge component of drawing in good talent to table at cons as well, making sure they make enough over the weekend to justify their presence beyond panel appearances. From a talent booking/event management perspective, this is the absolute dream scenario.

So, here’s the super fun part: ReedPop, the company that owns C2E2, also owns/operates New York Comic Con (NYCC), one of the highest-profile US entertainment conventions after San Diego Comic-Con. Now that ReedPop is aware of the viability of Hannibal programming, it would be extremely surprising if RP didn’t attempt a run at a larger, proper reunion panel at NYCC.

Honestly, great job, team. 2024 could very well be the year we get real buzz going again!

Personally how touched starved do you think Arlecchino and Furina are? Like one has been alone for 500 years and the other killed her best friend and probably doesn’t think she deserves love.

☆ — DEMO TRACK: Arlecchino x Reader, Furina x Reader

☆ — TYPE: SFW

☆ — CONTENT WARNINGS: N/A

Oh I think they'd be VERY fucking touch starved, except the two are like. On two different sides of the scale

On one end, you've got Furina. On the other end, you've got Arlecchino. What they're on a scale of? How "vocal" they would be in terms of it

Furina would be on the VERY vocal side, and by that I mean she WILL monologue to you about how she needs your touch or else she will PERISH from a lack of you-contact

Furina puts the back of her hand on her forehead, "My beloved wants to leave me be! Oh, you torture me..."

"Babe, I'm literally only going to get a glass of water."

"You forget my domain over the element!" She moves to throw herself onto you, wrapping her arms around your neck and causing you to laugh as you caught her, "I can satisfy your needs easily!"

"At that rate I'll be better off taking a shower!"

"It gets the job done!"

But she's not vocal for no reason :((( 500 years spent in self-isolation in order to save her people takes a HUGE toll on you so the moment Furina had realised that she doesn't have to do the whole song and dance all over again, she just can't help the want—the need—to basically be attached to you

It's not just because she wants to make up for lost time after FINALLY being able to do so, but also because she's scared that one day it'll all just go poof and disappear in a distant dream. She doesn't speak of her troubles until either she decides it herself that she should or one of the members of her Salon Solitaire (Crabaletta lol) decides to conk her for it

Sometimes she'll ask if she's being a pain in the ass bc she IS aware that she's constantly wanting for you to at LEAST be near her which. If you say she is then I need to sit you down personally and slap you in NOT a fun way

Meanwhile, Arlecchino on the other hand, is VERY quiet about it. She won't say anything, nevermind doing anything. She'd restrict herself from clinging onto you as much as she'd like to

You were a vision to her, a lovely sight to see and a lovely voice to hear as you recounted your day's events. Even when you did something so mundane, something that isn't necessarily something special, Arlecchino still looked at you with such adoration.

She almost didn't notice her hand inching closer towards yours from her warm daze.

Almost.

Before she could draw it back unnoticed, however, you turned your head at just the right (or wrong) time.

"Arlecchino? Is there.. something wrong?"

..She shakes her head instead of admitting her desires, "No, my apologies, darling. I was rather captivated by your tale. Do tell me more about your friend's predicament."

And so you do, but you couldn't help but notice the longing look in her eyes.

It takes a while before she starts warming up to the idea of letting herself actually do SOMETHING. And that'll take a lot of time, patience and encouragement from her❗️❗️❗️ But trust when I say it's worth it bc she practically treats you with so much more affection and devotion than the literal archon she serves HAHA

She doesn't thinks she deserves to show physical affection, to touch you, to truly worship you and your body in every way she can—not when she has the power to hurt you, not when she's killed off the person she had cherished the most all those years ago :(

You gotta reassure her that everything's okay and that you won't disappear bc once you've done that? She's SO TOUCHY she will NOT go through the day without havign some form of contact with you

She won't do it as much in work though she has a reputation she wants to keep lmao

Emesis Blue actor au

Transcripts from the interviews after the immense success of indie film EMESIS BLUE

Clip 1 

Fritz: It was interesting to do horror, not too dissimilar to my former roles, except without the comedy. One of the most difficult was simply staring at the camera, I had to create an immense amount of emotions with no words, or facial movements while Tavish was around, making silly faces. I had to pretend I was an owl. 

Clip 2: 

Jeremy: you should’ve seen my Ma when I told her about the part she got. She was so psyched! Though the head bust they made of her was freaky as hell. She keeps hiding it in the weirdest places-

Ma(offscreen): You laughed! 

Jeremy: After I almost peed my pants! You left it on a plate! 

Ma: That wasn’t me! That was Tavish! 

Jeremy(muttering): Of course it was. 

Clip 3: 

Ma: My son actually played two roles! He’s the man with the long arms and hands. Not sure what that was about, to be honest.

Jeremy: Oh man, the prop hands! You know, they look creepy in the movie, but walk around with massive sausage fingers in the daylight? I looked like a monkey! Got a few laughs out of everyone at least. 

(Jeremy looks at the camera and holds out his massive sausage hands, grinning) 

Clip 4: 

Ma: Mr Murnau was a dear to work with on the set, such a gentleman, even with all of those burn prosthetics they put on him! All of that heavy makeup and thick scars…He looked like a different person! 

Murnau: I’m used to playing the suave gentleman, but the detective in the film is a savage character. Savage, and complex. I drew a lot from old noir films. He was an interesting role. A man who engineers his own destruction. 

Clip 5: 

Dell: You can say this was a family production, especially for me. But that just meant we all hung out together more. I’m glad my brothers had the chance to shine, not to mention I liked the tux they got me.  

Fritz: the cognagher twins were quite the marvel to watch on set, one minute they were the men who offered to fix my car, the second they were this…terrifying murderous duo! 

Murnau: They were very well spoken individuals, and they play off each other very well. They always seemed to know exactly what the other was planning. 

Clip 6:

Dell: Yeah, they loved the Shining, why you ask? 

Clip 7:

Tavish: My best mate? Doe! We had a lot of fun on set together. We still go bar hopping! 

Doe: Tavish was our prankster on set! Always hiding things or spooking us during cuts. Course, I was there to help him out! 

(Clip of the famous frozen Demo scene, only once soldier leans again demo’s chest, Demo suddenly comes to life and screams, startling soldier.) 

edit: Drawings start here!

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update 03/April/2024

Do you ever have a week where there’s so much going on, but it feels really good to tick so many tasks off your list?

Well, I had one of those weeks, hehe! :D

First up was finishing up all the edits to the demo section, which went super smoothly, and it was great fun reading the comments from them. I always appreciate how they take the extra time to write what they’re enjoying, or their fun reactions to things that happen as they edit!

Then it was onto social media days! The sporadic internet has still been a major obstacle, but I actually managed to get on long enough to get some asks done! That was great fun getting to do those and indulge in getting to talk about Wayhaven even more with you guys, hehe!

With the Patreon content, I worked on the sketch for Adam/Ava’s masquerade mask for the upcoming ball in Book Four, which was both awesome because I loved the ideas and inspiration I had for it, but also was nice to get some drawing in! That’ll be going up on Patreon later this month!

And then I even managed to get a massive amount done on Chapter Two! Way more than I expected yet again, so this chapter is seriously moving on at a pace! I was actually starting to think I’d get it finished next week…but then I decide to move a big chunk from the start of Chapter Three to the end of Chapter Two, lol.

The flow will be much better. Where it ended before would have been a great cliffhanger at the end of Chapter Two but it just…it didn’t feel like where it should have ended. So, moving that section now makes it feel more like the chapter I wanted.

This new ending section does contain more variation to account for love interests, etc, so will take a bit longer, but at least that means it will also make the second demo section that much more chunkier! :D

But the first demo section is now with my final set of readers, so hopefully not long until I get to share that with you all!

I hope you all have the most amazing weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll update you all again next week! <3

[keyburado]

I tried a kissing pose. Hope i did okay.

The FF7 demo motivated me to draw again. I decided to try a kissing pose—something I haven't attempted in years. So, this was a big challenge for me, from the pose and clothes to anatomy…and I just couldn't get Cloud's hair right 🫠 but it was fun.

[clownfossil]

It's always a bit funny to imagine myself as the MC in dating sims since I am certainly not the main demographic for them but I think drawn out it actually looks okay /hj Half jokes aside I had a lot of fun with 14 days with you since the first demo came out and I'm glad to have finally gotten around to drawing Ren.

Maybe I'll have to draw an all gothic version of this too /hj once again Also did I see it right that people call their OC's for the game angelsonas? And if yes does it count if you just straight up draw yourself

[randomgamefan]

Slay the princess came up in my Google news tab about Markiplier playing it which is WILD because I've been into this game for like years. Demo and everything, 100% it on steam after I got it for my birthday! (Getting all the achievements was so fun)

I can't wait for the pristine cut and the new fanart I will see in this amazing game. Also fun fact, black tabby games is on Tumblr and to say I stalk their blog often is an understatement, they're so fun-

Anyways, apologies for rambling as usual, I figure I should post some of my designs for the STP voices!! Eldritch bird creatures and excuses to draw wings were a great way to pass my time, I really wanna doodle them again soon!! And maybe even find more of the doodles I did at the time-

Small design note, I think the long quiet form has 3 sets of wings, hero 1, and all other voices 2. Kinda following how you meet them and how most of the others are closer to TLQ in form, more branching off of this individual they were forced to become. The hero is closest to being the form they were shoved into.

Okay I'm actually done rambling bye
