Introducing GameMastertale!

Or GMtale for short! The 2nd out of my 3 aus!

This world is more complex with the characters so I'm gonna introduce the main ones, Chara and Frisk. Hopefully this comic shows a bit of their roles, and I'll share more drawings in the future about this au! (Mainly cuz it's still a w.i.p)

Also, I've been making so much art about it that's just laying around, so I'll definitely be showing more of those and other characters in the near future too (hopefully)

In case my handwriting is unreadable:

[Your soul longed for]

[FREEDOM]

[But you are too weak...]

[Yet...]

[You called for help...]

[But nobody came...]

... This has been sitting in my drafts since February...

Official PLAYER/Anemone Design + Lore!

The first character with a fully completed backstory! PLAYER is on the left, while Anemone is the human/disguise on the right. Just to be clear: This is not the player from UNDERPLAYER. To be clear, I will refer to Restricted’s player as “PLAYER”, and the one from UNDERLAYER as “Player”. However, this PLAYER is very similar to the Player from UNDERPLAYER.

They came from the same timeline: in fact, Player currently stuck during in Undertale is PLAYER’s twin. While they were back home, Player had vanished. The only thing they left behind was Undertale, up and running on a computer. So PLAYER struck out on a mission- they had long ago shared their twin’s fascination with Undertale, but they had always appreciated the creativity behind the fandom and their alternative routes. Curiosity led them to program themselves into the game, although this time they were more successful than Player. They were able to access all the alternate timelines and program themselves into that, vowing to get a “Perfect Ending” for their sibling.

They first stumbled upon Underfell, where they adopted their iconic red-striped look after UF! Frisk suggested it. They moved over to UnderSwap, but they became dissatisfied with just following US! Chara through the Underground. They killed US! Chara, shattered their soul so that they wouldn’t be able to interfere, and modified the code so that the characters recognized PLAYER as the eighth fallen human. They went through the True Pacifist, Pacifist, Neutral, and Genocide Routes of UnderSwap, then they coded themselves from UnderSwap to HorrorTale, performing the same feats and then moving from HorrorTale to DreamTale, Storyshift, Storyshift: Facing Demons, DustTale, and eventually all of the timelines. They were becoming dissatisfied and increasingly frustrated and volatile with having experienced all the endings and interactions, and still not yet achieving an ending they deemed to be perfect.

InkShift Chara met them as PLAYER was in the midst of disassembling and reassembling their code for other timelines. Having had sensed the true amount of LOVE within their soul, InkShift called upon Atonement. (An OC designed by Tarylem: Atonement takes on the form of an unknown Sans AU, although in actuality he is a force created to dispense justice, and is present everywhere, not just in Undertale and Deltarune.)

Atonement managed to take PLAYER by surprise. He stripped them of their coding abilities and tore out their soul. 

InkShift hid their soul within the only alternate universe PLAYER had not visited, forcing the timeline to jam it into a desperate host to stabilize the sudden power transfusion. Almond became PLAYER’s new host, as InkShift Chara had unknowingly given PLAYER reign over Almond and the created body (Anemone), allowing them to switch between the two at will.

This sketch took a while, mainly because I wasn’t able to think of a pose for PLAYER/Anemone. The others won’t take as long, for certain. -ASRIEL.

edit: eeee. Rereading this lore’s making me all giddy again- I really want to start coding the basics, but I’m not sure what program to run it with- GameMaker Studio runs on a jumble of C++ and C#, so if something happens to the program I won’t know what to do. :( I’m only good with HTML, but if HTML’s not available JavaScript’s second, although I’m really slow with JS. .-. But if that’s the only option left, then it’ll be better than nothing- Toby Fox used GameMaker Studio for Undertale’s battle system, as well as GMS 2 for Deltarune. Seems like a good candidate.

Snippets from Dolphin's undisclosed workplace:

One manager likes to sing the catchiest jingles from children's cartoons and get them stuck in everyone else's heads. Last week was the backpack song from Dora the Explorer, this week it's Dragon Tails. She also puts random movies and shows on the TVs when it's late and we have no business, and is invested in Forged by Fire as a result

"Do you think a Swiffer would burn the top of the oven?" "No, but I think the oven would burn a Swiffer." "SHUT UPPP"

*said during a serious conversation about climate change, in an old-man voice* "Back in my day we used to have FOUR seasons! And I DON'T mean the hotel!"

Same person approached me with a wadded ball of dough and puppetted it in front of me like an evil slime monster while making rasping breathing sounds. Needless to say I died laughing

He also likes to admire pepperonis as they curl in the oven and dance quietly whenever nothing is going on. I like to join him, to my general manager's chagrin. We think he is jealous because as a GM he is not unprofessional enough to dance

My general manager is a warm and friendly man who comes across as more business-minded but still funny. Today after completing my training he confessed to me unprompted that the map of our delivery range looks uncannily like the side profile of the grandmother from Hey Arnold! He's right, and now I can't unsee it

*GM slipped on a mushroom* "Uh oh, he's tripping on shrooms!!"

My coworkers agreed I need to work on my manager voice, they said they'd be shocked to hear me yell. I waited until they were put of the building and yelled as loud as I could, but I sounded like an irate goose 😅

I have been known to make animals out of leftover dough. Not to brag but some of them turn out really good 😌

The store owner relayed an interesting story about a recent even at the other location: apparently someone dashed into the store, grabbed a giant pizza right off of a family's table, and ran out the door. Looney Toons-ass crimes happening there apparently

Everytime I hold the oven mitts I turn into a crab clickclick and everytime i hold a pizza peel I turn into master lancer stabby stab

(did you know that the stick you use to get a pizza out of the oven is called a pizza peel. I didn't know, I had to google it)

One of my coworkers is a socially awkward high schooler who has shared some extremely worrying stories from his life like the time his sister got raped but my favorite interaction with him was when he told me all about Undertale AUs, which I thankfully had some knowledge about due to watching a YouTube video about them a week prior. Rather than the edgy ones like Underfell or Error Sans it sounded like his favorite was the kindest version of Frisk (I forget the name but they rescue characters from bad AUs) because it made him feel hopeful ;_;

A different pair of teens who work here discovered they could overwhelm the label maker's character limit and get it to print in an entirely different font as a result

Every day since I started I have deliberately misspelled my name on my cup to see if anyone notices. Usually it's just the first few letters followed by keysmashes but ocassionally I name it things like "rawr XD" and *Wilhelm screams*

A few weeks after I started i was bored and doodling my go-to monsters on scrap paper. My coworkers liked them so much they taped them to the side of the Pepsi cooler ;_;

My insatiable desire for removable vandalism has led me to hiding stickers of my go-to monster mascot around the store. So far none have been found to my knowledge. I did show off the box whose bottom I completely covered with the little guys though

Half of the store is quite short, myself included. We all make fun of each other for it but I still refuse to get a step stool out when reaching for things on the top shelf

Every time I prep tomatoes I whisper "Ludger-coded" to myself

But I spend most of my time writing gay fan fic in my head

[teefa85]

This...plot bunny won't go away...gonna have to make it a tag...

The whole thing I'm thinking is that, after the war when the kids leave on their own, they find this book in a store. Well...Owain, Cynthia, or Meiri (F!Morgan if she's the daughter of a F!Robin since I like the two Morgans together stuff) probably. Maybe Morgan. They somehow get everyone to play it together.

Other than that, I don't know. Hell, I don't even KNOW stuff other than the basics about Tabletop RPGs but I've seen enough memes (and a comic dub of a hilarious Undertale comic where Monster Kid GMs a game, Asriel keeps trying to do all the cool things, Frisk befriends dungeon monsters, Chara kills monsters Frisk befriended and Monster Kid was genre savvy enough to make that a secret objective).

Stat It Out: Held at gunpoint

You know that classic scene in a spy or crime thriller where some gun toting fellow's got our intrepid protagonist(s) held at their mercy? Well today, let's figure out how to run that in a ttrpg in a more complex way than your generic held action or skill roll. So the purpose of this is tension, place players in a tough situation where they want to get around the enemy's weapon in a more clever way than just attacking immediately. However powerful you make the weapon the enemy is aiming, the players should know it immediately. This is easy to do in a setting like those that this trope emerged out of, where the characters are in mortal fear of the bullet. In something like classic D&D or other more high power settings, the players will have to be informed beforehand or receive some sort of demonstration otherwise they are likely to just rush. Once the danger is established, choose a difficulty for directly overcoming the gunpoint. However the game establishes difficulty, be it a modifier, target number, or number of successes, choose and share with the players. The level should be determined by the distance between the weapon and those targeted, the level of speed necessary for a player to act before the enemy, the readyness/skill of the enemy, and the speed a player would need to cross to break line of fire before being hit. If player's have some sort of modifier like D&D's AC that reduces the enemy's chance to hit, then apply an appropriate reduction in difficulty. Once the difficulty is set, let the player(s) threatened try actions with different skills and apply reductions to the difficulty from successes (by changing those original factors that determined the difficulty). If the difficulty is reduced to 0 or some other appropriately low number, resolve the challenge without needing to have the confrontation roll. If a player's action fails, it may increase the difficulty or force the confrontation roll to happen without any other actions. GMs may also put a limit on the number of actions before a confrontation roll based on the situation the player is in. The Confrontation Roll: after whatever actions are taken, the player(s) finally either make a scramble for the gun/weapon, draw their own and try to act before the enemy, or try to escape/break line of fire. For this they make their final roll against the modified difficulty. Success means they are able to accomplish the chosen goal before combat begins. Failure means that the enemy fires before the player's goal is completed. This either means a free hit in systems where the exact result of the attack roll isn't needed to know its result, or just an attack roll with a very significant bonus to it. Example: The scene from La Samurai that I used as the image for this post. The player fails their perception/spot/notice/recon check and are taken unawares by the tan trenchcoated foe. The difficulty is set pretty high so the player does not immediately act. The GM makes an offer of a temporarily reduced difficulty as long as the player confronts without an action before (this is when the enemy frisks the protagonist). The player chooses instead to attempt some sort of Nerve/Will/Charisma style roll and succeeds, reducing the difficulty by not letting the enemy read any cues off him. He then rolls a persuasion check, saying that he doesn't talk to men with guns on him, and succeeds greatly. The enemy puts the gun into his jacket, reducing the gunpoint difficulty to an incredibly low level. The player then takes the chance and succeeds at a melee attack to overcome the confrontation difficulty, ending the gunpoint.

More Wormfic I Won't Write: Undertale Edition

(This won't leave my head, it's another one of those ideas that would be in the 100k's of words if I could actually put in the work to write it)

Basically post-GM Taylor in the Underground.

The concept is pretty simple on the surface, Taylor falls down into the Underground and acts in place of Frisk. There's hints that there's more going on- why did she decide to investigate disappearances on a mountain that's supposed to be dangerous? What does she mean when her narration says "it's not like I have anyone to go back to"? Something implied to have happened to Danny, and maybe she's got the same unconscious mentality as when she faced down Lung on her first night out.

She meets Flowey and goes straight into fight or flight, thinking there's crazy powers stuff happening, and that's enough of a coincidence that it must be someone taking revenge for her controlling them. She's distrustful of Toriel for this reason, initially thinking of her as the Good Cop to Flowey's Bad Cop, to get her to some secondary location. Worse still that Toriel's a well-read maternal figure, and living with her is so enticing that it has to be a trap, right?

After some more earned trust, Taylor follows a lot of the basic path of the game, for different reasons. With the game mechanics and fantasy tropes, Taylor reasons out that she must be stuck in some sort of virtual reality game, maybe to punish her, maybe to rehabilitate her (sort of like the Tinker psychologically-affecting video game from PHO Sundays a while back). Staying with Toriel would be living a fake fantasy. No need to examine why a quiet life without conflict feels false, right? Just move forward.

I don't know how the bulk of that adventure would go, but she defeats Flowey- who, on the surface, comes off as reminiscent of Sophia, aggressively defending the Kill Or Be Killed worldview, as if he couldn't deal with life if that worldview doesn't hold . That he sees this world as a game is a good parallel, on top of the Kill Or Be Killed thing paralleling Taylor's inability to accept a peaceful life.

Taylor goes through the barrier, returns to her now empty home, and... there's something wrong. That nagging sense at the back of her mind, that she can still load her old save file. Which means, based on her mistaken assumptions, she's not out of the game.

Taylor resets everything. She's determined to tear this entire "simulation" to pieces to find a way out, and her starting LV is naturally pretty high anyway, she's been a killer for a while now. So it's easy to just kill everyone until the game can't function. Which ends predictably to anyone who knows what happens in Undertale. Sans doesn't really get what's motivating her or where she's come from, but he repeatedly tears her down, and Taylor isn't really good enough to win against him, especially in the state that those repeated deaths leave her in.

Taylor resets. Again.

Admitting defeat, Taylor tries a different tack, winning on the "game's" terms. I'm not sure what her relationships to the different monsters are- Undyne is friend material while Papyrus is so cartoony it's jarring. IDK. Learning about Alphys' morally complex actions would actually give her someone to relate to, despite all the unpleasant Cauldron parallels. The idea that Alphys could take responsibility for her own actions and somehow be forgiven is unthinkable enough that I think it would actually shake Taylor a little bit.

And reaching the proper ending, well, that's where things go wrong. I don't know how it would be contrived, but Toriel doesn't get taken by Flowey. Flowey goes Full Asriel, and he can break the barrier, but there's more than one barrier that can be broken. Another one, invisible, untouchable, and it seems to be weakest around Taylor. But there are Souls on the other side, a lot of them. He cracks reality, smashing the barrier keeping the Queen Administrator away from Taylor's head.

What comes next is more like a magical version of Khepri, having absorbed Asriel. A Titan, but the size of a person. And everyone in the Underground is placed under her control.

The way I imagine it, Toriel is Taylor's new anchor, and was spared. She travels all the way to where Taylor is. There's a twisted version of the New Home sequence from the game, where monsters being puppeted by Khepri-Asriel tell some part of Taylor's story, the same way they tell Asgore's in the actual game. Complete with "aren't you happy? Everyone is working together."

Toriel is the perspective of the final battle, sort of like OFF, and she does what Frisk does in the game, freeing the other monsters one by one. And it's the friends Taylor made on her adventure that are able to reach out and pull Taylor back to humanity, in a way that wouldn't believably happen with the Titans in Ward. Taylor becomes herself again, and, understanding that this was never a game, is able to walk into the sunset with a sense that maybe she can Learn To Be Okay.

D&D Quotes Without Context

Ravenloft Edition, Dementlieu Arc, part 5

"Oh good, we don't have to go to the creepy play. So what do we have planned for today?" “Debauchery?” “Five gold says the play killed him at his desk.” You see that the window is open, and that there are muddy footprints leading to behind the chair of the desk. “Mudmen. Of course.” As for the biggest book, you find a good twenty pounder on one of the top shelves: I, Strahd, the unabridged edition. Gorbash: "...Theater is such a cutthroat business." Jonni: “You should see what real estate is like.” "Yeah everyone in this town are liars and phonies and hypocrites. Fucking love this town." “You’re still in the trash can and we have holy water, numb nuts.” “Gentlemen. First, I am Jonni Humantorch. If I was going to kill this man I would have burned him to death like the hundreds of others that pissed me off.” GM: You don't know for plays, but this seems like a perfectly normal, if overly dry and dull, play. Definitely not worthy of the build up its gotten thus far. OOC: That Marshal's creep muppet watchers get bored reading is a good hint of that. "So, going for the whole flesh golem aesthetic? I have to warn you. Flesh bodies have a lot of downsides...like you have to go to the bathroom...a lot." "Hey Simon, hows the sister?" "She's going to be much better once I give her your thumbs as a present." “He’s a robot, you idiot. How did these losers ever escape us the first time?” "Giant robot bug." Jonni frisks him before the fuzz can steal his shit first. OOC: (Sadly, no one can prepare exploding runes this morning. ) Automated hugging machine. "A benefit of working with us: emotional support paladin." OOC: Marshal making a grapple check against sadness.

mod update :V

hey ya’ll! i had a pretty tough time over the holidays... 2020 was a hell year.

i had BIG plans for this year and didn’t realize i was going to miss the actual Christmas date. (i ALWAYS update on christmas for askblogs, have for the last several years) i basically had 2 Christmases, one with mom and one with my dad, and that exhaustion + dropping out of school put me into a hugely unexpected spiral that i’m only now getting out of LOL. if you’re new here, hi. i’m sam. i have bipolar depression and very likely adhd but i can’t afford to get diagnosed. i’m having trouble coping. how r u.

cheek aside, i hope we are all doing at least a little better since the new year and hopefully the spring sunshine will help us all!

but yeah to AFR, i’m bummed i missed out on the date and couldn’t finish the arc. i had TOO much planned tbh and was speeding through it to get to the plot. the idea was that we’d learn more about Frisk’s history and their grandma. We’d have a Big Party with mettaton and Mew Mew and it’d be a HUGE event that was going to be super fun and cool to see the full cast and-!

none of that ended up happening LOL. i jumped to melodrama because i had so much planned that i couldn’t properly space it out. then because i wasn’t updating, i wasn’t getting asks (NOT that anyone’s fault but mine, making that clear rn) and to be honest...

i’ve kinda overcame some coding hurtles i’ve had with gamemaker and have been really getting into working on my fangame. i’m still Not Good yet but it’s fun and what little I do get accomplished feels amazing. with comics, and askblogs specifically, I have to keep a watchful eye on getting feedback (asks, reblogs, comments) and try to make ya’ll engaged while doing detailed and more detailed artwork in short bursts of time. which was fine back when i was more stable and wasn’t trying as hard with backgrounds, but i’m rusty and got used to detail.

i’ve been growing a distate for online comics for these last few years (comics are insanely extensive and quickly enjoyed) and i’m not... sure... how to go about this anymore...

i’ve been keeping it a secret but I’ve wanted to do the DarkWorld finale in animation. i’ve done some animatics, tried out making sprites (i even considered making a fangame for it, or a fan animation using GMS 2.3.1) but its been taking a long time and its not fair to drag it out so much lmao.

so... what do ya’ll think i should do? cause i still have this big Christmas party thing planned (but like... its too late for christmas and was too ambitious) and the DR event finale won’t be done anytime soon. should i ignore the fact that its january and still do the christmas arc with toned down art? should I just stop making comics?? should i even continue AFR? i can’t expect an actual answer from you guys. this is something i have to figure out for myself...

that said, whenever i run across chara and asriel i get hit with such a strong urge to finish this story. because the end of it, (and i’m not even saying i regret the DR event because that conveyed plot things i wouldn’t have been able to do right through just the regular story w/out the darkworld) the end of AFR is something truly emotionally important to me and has SUCH a huge emotional pay off that I have to tell. so i can’t STOP afr, and i can’t just write a fic version of it cause that’s now how this story was written/structured around.

i’m kinda lost on what to do is what i’m saying. i’ll think about it, but i honestly think maybe I should just drop the christmas stuff and put the dr thing on hold (until i guess the mainstory is done and i can focus on that badass animation i have planned). would that be ok?

also, thanks for sticking by me even when i’ve been basically Gone for months. ya’ll are the best

[henry-is-feral]

For the glitchmin AU, I was wondering who the fharacters are.

Yknow like who is GT!frisk, or GT!chara, I’m guessing RHM and Reginald are GM!sans and GM!asriel...

I’m interested in how this story will go

RHM and Reginald are actually supposed to be Undyne and Alphys!

Gaster- Galeforce

Sans- Charles

Papyrus- Burt

Asriel- Ellie

Jessica- Sven

I’ve said before that this au isn’t exactly a “character replaces character au” so roles won’t exactly line up. They mostly there for reference. Kinda diverging from the og glitchtale. Other characters I haven’t mentioned haven’t been giving a role (as I’ve also said before, au is still incomplete).

Introducing Chara and Frisk from Gamemastertale!

Or GMtale for short

The story starts that Chara has felt a calling from the depths of her soul. She couldn't ignore it for long, and eventually followed it to Mt. Ebott, a mountain that she's been told lead to certain doom. Chara doesn't let the tales stop her from the tug that pulls her towards the mountain entrance. Standing at the ledge and peers down the large hole that leads to the underground, one last pull of her heart gives her the determination to jump into the abyss, unknowing of what she is getting into... (Technically a explanation/retelling of the comic I did)

This post is mostly about Chara, though she is linked to Frisk in this au. The roles are reversed, as Frisk is the first fallen human while Chara is the last. Both of them go by She/Her in my aus. Chara has no intention to harm others but fights out of self-defense. Otherwise, she is like the regular Chara: Liking chocolate and is very sassy (according to Fandom).

I'll probably talk more about Frisk's lore in the future.

Also feel free to ask if yall have any questions about my characters cuz I don't explain them enough lol

...This has also been sitting in my drafts for months...

Blissfully Unaware (Dragon Heist Spoilers)

Our party had nothing better to do than to investigate a building to possibly squat in after taking heat from a few sewer murder. I (Goliath Paladin) have an intelligence of 7 and a history of crafting Jewelery, and walked into a bedroom of this abandoned building.

Me, OOC: I walk into the room. Do I see a ball-gag and a whip?

GM: N-…yes. You see a skeleton on the bed, ballgag in his mouth with a Cat ‘o Nine-tails on the bedside.

Me, OOC: Can I roll Intelligence to see if I know what a ballgag is?

The rest of the party murmurs in confusion as I roll a total of 6.

Me, IC: Everyone! I found this strange necklace! (Nobody else was within earshot)

*I pocketed the gag and after completely searching the building we reconvened*

Halfling Monk: Can I roll to see what that is?

GM: Always. *halfling rolls an 8*

GM: You know that it goes in the mouth, so maybe its used in ceremonial fasting?

Aasimar Druid: I’ll do the same. *Rolls a 10*

Druid: It’s used to slow breathing for surgeries. Since you take a lot of damage, you may want to keep that!

And now I have a ballgag floating around in my bag. Hope I don’t get frisked!

[starlightshore]

Probably a loaded question, but with all the game engines you've worked with, what are the pros and cons for each? I'm really interested in trying my hand. So far I got rpg maker mv for a paid engine, but I'mma l look into free ones also. (Game Maker seems a bit expensive for my tastes :()

GOD YEAH game maker is... so expensive... i’m hoping my bro gets me it for Christmas when its on sale. but even then like. ouch. that price tag.

so here are all the programs I've used to make my fangame at some point:

uh. long ass post ahead.

COST: 15$

its a visual novel making program! like RPG maker, its not code based, but visual based! you just click and drag the stuff from the left onto the right area and boom. game made. Honestly, a really good introduction to making a video game! Its very basic and simple, which is very newbie friendly. Lots of Youtube videos on how to do things too.

You can technically do more with it by using the program’s coding language OR by using java-script, tho personally i’m not good at coding yet so i never really saw what i could do with it. i haven’t really used it in a year but honestly, i can’t thank it enough for being such a good introduction to game development.

Pros: cheap one time fee, easy for newbies and visual based.

Cons: very limited to just visual novels, and even then to do more complex stuff you really have to work for it to get it to work.

RENPY

COST: FREE

THE free visual novel program. It’s a bit of a learning curve since everything is done in script, (ie: no visuals) BUT its VERY simple and easy to learn and once you get it and it clicks, you can do a lot with it! because you code it yourself, the limits are nearly endless. uses it’s own language, but you can also use python (or its built on python? can’t remember lol) and python is built for newbies.

Pros: free, limited only by what you’re willing to learn to do with code, while you can make RPGS its pretty limited since its not built for it

Cons: only super easy to use once you get over the learning curve. if you have any experience w/ code, its a breeze. if not, still easy to learn!, you can only use it for rpgs, NOT a visual program

(and other RPG Maker game engines)

COST: 50$ (EXPENSIVE! but it does go on sale once in a while. i got mine at 20-ish$)

idk if you plan on making a UT fangame too but its totally possible!!! i’m doing it!! and i would be very happy to share/help others with theirs. i mean. mostly its just plugins from other people, but i did set up a pretty nice inventory and i can show ya’ll how i make the sprites. (since UT has a lot smaller tileset size) and honestly, if you need help w/ this program my instant messenger is always open B)

uh anyway. RPG maker is a godsend for someone like me who is very visual minded and has a hard time grasping code. i know python... ok-ish. im still a noob. ANYWAY yah, theres LOTS of tutorials and plugins you can sink your teeth into, big communities who are all happy to share and help each other out. its pretty great! (actually, you could say the same w/ all these game engines! but the RPG maker forums is like. super nice from what i’ve seen)

so like, with youtube you can learn how to use it within a day or two, frankly. and you can do SO much with it w/ plugins. and the community is ages old, and the game itself is a few years old and has plenty to offer. you need something? likely someone else has made a plugin or forum post on the topic and someone has helped them figure it out. HIGHLY recommend this program if you can afford it (and you already have it, so honestly, just go w/ rpg maker.)

i wouldn’t super recommend the default assets cause the community hates them. they’re way over used and people see it as “lazy.” its good as like, a stepping stone but you shouldn’t rely on them for your whole game if you can manage your own graphics or pay someone to make them. if not, theres still free tilesets you can use if you look for them.

Pros: big friendly community, lots of resources to use, capable of A LOT of things, hassle free for the most part!

Cons: price is big, but it goes on sale often and the older versions of RPG maker aren’t that much different/worse. granted, MV is the best but like, the others aren’t bad. quite a bit to learn at first, but really simple honestly.   

COST: Free (sorta. you need a license for certain aspects, but really u could do it free w/ zero issue except for exporting to multiple devices)

ok so like. i don’t. really know how to use unity too well. out of all of these, i haven’t used it for long. while still somewhat visual, you still have to learn a quite a bit of code and look up tutorials to figure out specific things you want to do.

for UT fangames, there is UNITALE/Create Your Own Frisk which uses unity, tho you don’t need the Unity to make games unless you want to make a overworld. since i’m making a overworld and more, i’ll need to learn how to use Unity. It’s a uphill battle but i’m fairly certain i can do it eventually.

there’s a LOT of resources but theres also a LOT to learn. untiy is pretty big and well known, for both 3d and 2d so like, go ham. have fun.

Pros: can do anything

Cons: can do anything so you gotta learn how to do it w/ code.

Cost: has both a subscription and a license you can purchase. its,,, pricey and doesn’t go on sale all too often.

I actually don’t have ANY experience with this program except for like. a few night’s worth. i read the manual if that counts for anything lol.

uh, its very script base and it looks good? uh. idk. its. yeah? i heard its great and i’m sure for that price and for it to be respected so much its got a lot live up to. my brother likes it and hes a Real nerd. so. i guess??? it should be worth it? i’d say wait until around Christmas/later in November for the steam sale if you really want to.

i mean, UT was made with the first one (tho i hear GMS 2 is way better) and toby didn’t know how to code going in so like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ honestly anyone can learn it and while i haven’t gotten to use it much yet, I want to.

there’s the Undertale Fan Engine made with GMS 2 and i’ve tried it, its pretty extensive and frickin cool.

TLDR; figure out what kind of game and story you want to tell/make. i could of saved a year’s worth of work if i just sat myself down and realized i wanted to make a completely new fangame separate from my old blog stuff. and that i wanted to make an rpg specifically.

honestly, i want to make more games after AL, like, if i could become a indie dev that’d be my dream. (ironic since i don’t play video games LMAO)

but yeah! theres lots of choices, and its all a little overwhelming honestly! if theres anything you need help with w/ any of these programs I am happy to help further. I wish you the best of luck!!!! video game making is hard work but its so worth it!!!

[fuck-customers]

My job has this new POS system that is running off iPads and the GM caught someone charging their phone off of it and decided that NO ONE is allowed to even have their phone on them at work anymore. 2 managers damn near stop & frisk employees to see if they have their phones and tell them to put them in the back room or go home. TF is this, middle school?

Gennem Grønland med Nikolaj Coster-Waldau episode 4 subtitles

Hvor sikkert er der i grotten?

Loftet og kanten af loftet er der, hvor isen er tyndest.

Hold da fast!

Der er så meget, jeg ikke ved om Grønland.

Der kom en lille revne. Hold da kæft.

Der er meget, jeg gerne vil opleve.

Jeg håber, det også er interessant for dem, der kigger på.

For 21 er siden forelskede jeg mig i Nukâka fra Uummannaq.

Og jeg forelskede mig hendes hjemland, Grønland.

Nu rejser jeg gennem hele Grønland -

- for at udforske og opleve dette enorme land -

- og møde de fantastiske mennesker, der bor og arbejder her.

Mit navn er Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Velkommen til min rejse gennem Kalaallit Nunaat: Grønland.

Jeg er nu på vej til østkysten.

Jeg har aldrig været der -

- men naturen og kulturen skulle være noget særligt.

Grønland er jo et enormt land uden nogen normal infrastruktur.

For mange grønlændere er der store dele af landet, de ikke har set.

Min svoger Peter er med. Han er opvokset i Grønland -

- men han har heller aldrig været i Østgrønland.

Så...

For at komme til østkysten skal vi flyve knap 700 km over indlandsisen.

Østkysten er næsten 3000 km lang og meget sparsomt befolket.

Under 10% af grønlænderne bor i øst.

Vi flyver fra Nuuk til Kulusuk, hvor vi har en mellemlanding.

Her fylder vi depoterne lidt op. Selvom Østgrønland er isoleret -

- er der alligevel nogle danske specialiteter heroppe.

Jeg skal have en af de tykke der.

Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!

Så går det videre til Tasiilaq, der er den største by på østkysten.

Skal du have en hånd?

- Tasiilaq. - Det har jeg glædet mig til.

Der er intet som nye steder.

Jeg har hørt om det og de fantastiske omgivelser.

Det ser ud til at være sandt med de der fjelde -

- i forhold til de helt flade oppe ved Qaanaaq.

- De stritter. - De stritter meget. De er glade.

Travel light, som man siger.

Det er det allermest nødvendige, man rejser med...

De kan ikke være derinde.

Tasiilaq blev grundlagt i 1894 og blev kaldt Ammassalik i sin tid.

"Stedet med lodder". "Ammassat" er en lodde.

Tasiilaq har omkring 2000 indbyggere.

Da Østgrønland er geografisk isoleret -

- har sproget udviklet sig anderledes.

Her er dialekten en anden end vestpå.

Vi kender jo dialekter i Danmark. I Sønderjylland og på Bornholm...

Vi har mange dialekter. Sjælland.

Her i Grønland har de også dialekter.

Vestgrønlændere har svært ved at forstå østgrønlandsk.

Vi er i samme kommune som Nuuk, selvom vi har fløjet i to timer.

Afstandene er så ekstreme.

Nærmeste kommune... Hvis du skal op på kommunekontoret.

Det ligger 680 km væk.

Eller... borgmesteren. Der er lidt langt.

Selvom Tasiilaq er isoleret, er her en del turister fra andre lande.

Der er nemlig en direkte flyrute fra Island.

Snart falder vi i snak med Lars, der arbejder med turisme.

- Du har hundeslæder om vinteren... - Og bådture om sommeren.

Vi har femdagespakker med to dagsture og noget gå og bo og spise.

Det er sluttet nu. Nu starter fototure og dykning.

Det er vores første gang her.

Hvordan oplever folk i Tasiilaq at dem på vestkysten ser på dem?

Er der fordomme i Grønland om dem på østkysten?

Ja. Vi er Grønlands bonderøve. Det tror jeg.

- Er det så rigtigt? - Jeg synes ikke, det er rigtigt.

Der er mange folk her, som er lige så skarpe som alle andre steder.

Du har været her i 16 ar. Du kom, fordi du skulle...

Jeg var salgschef for de grønlandske frimærker.

- Jeg skulle være her i tre år. - De tre år blev til 16 år? Hvorfor?

Det blev det jo, fordi jeg måske fandt mit rette element.

Jeg skal ikke holde mere på dig. Du har vel noget, du skal.

Jeg skal have noget at spise.

Men hvad er det, der gør, at man tænker: "Her skal jeg blive"?

Hvis jeg vil have et nyt eventyr, så sejlerjeg bare 100 km den vej.

Så er det et nyt land igen. Det bliver aldrig kedeligt.

Det er det, som gør, at man bliver hængende.

Det kan jeg godt forstå. Lars, du skal have noget mad.

Vi kigger måske forbi. Vi skal nemlig have fat i en båd.

- Tusind tak. - Det var hyggeligt.

Nær Tasiilaq ligger en amerikansk luftbase fra 2. verdenskrig.

Det lyder lidt som et af de eventyr, Lars taler om, men det kræver en båd.

Det er en travl dag på havnen i Tasiilaq.

I dag ankommer der et fragtskib med varer og materiel.

Tasiilaq blev grundlagt som handelsstation i 1894.

Man anlagde den her, fordi der var en god naturhavn.

Skibe kan kun lægge til i sommerhalvåret.

Resten af året kan man kun komme til Tasiilaq med helikopter.

Godmorgen. Er det dig, der er Poul?

- Ja. - Og du er havne...

Havnechefen her. Godmorgen og velkommen.

- Lidt udstyr til dig. - Det er lækkert.

Hvad...? Det var da et pænt stort...

Skib. Atlantskib, kalder vi det.

Du skal endelig ikke stoppe med at arbejde.

Det fik jeg ikke fat på.

De kan ikke fjerne den, mens propellen kører.

De er ikke lavet til mit store grødhoved.

Du kan løsne den og spænde den igen.

- Er du fra Tasiilaq? - Ja.

- Hvor tit kommer hun forbi her? - Vi får 8-10 skibsanløb om året.

- Vel ikke hele året? - Nej, fra juni til november.

Ellers er der is, som forhindrer skibene i at komme.

Alt, hvad vi skal bruge i omegnen, skal vi have udefra.

Byggematerialer, værktøj, tøj... mad.

Det eneste, vi har selv, er det, vi kan fange.

Fisk, sæler, hvaler og fugle.

- Hvor meget far I af varer? - Det meste er til Nuuk. Hovedstaden.

Men vi far 38 containere. Det er en lille portion.

- Du sagde fra juni til... - November.

Det er et langt hul fra november til juni.

Der er meget stille i den periode.

- Er der sa stille-stille? - Der er stille-stille-stille.

Så bliver der pudset og poleret på kontoret. Du har altid rent der.

Der er ikke meget at lave. Vi får nogle lange dage.

- Er der sa lavvande i butikkerne? - Ja. Der er tømt ud.

Det må være en lettelse, når det første skib kommer.

Ved museet har vi tre kanoner fra tidligere tider -

- vi bruger hvert år. Så kommer der et ordentligt brag.

I fjeldene star folk og byder skibet velkommen.

"Mad!"

Det er mad og materialer man hungrer efter.

Det er man vel vant til her. Det lyder helt vildt.

Det er bare forholdene.

Jeg kan godt forstå, at man fyrer en kanon af.

Der er stor glæde. Der er stor glæde.

Halløj.

- Hej. Nikolaj. -Martha.

- I har travlt? - Ja, meget.

- Der er kommet skib. - Ja.

Er der noget, I mangler nu?

Vi mangler kinakål og salater og agurker og sådan nogle ting.

- Og det kommer nu her med skib? - Ja.

Men nogle gange bliver især agurkerne rådne -

- inden de kommer hertil.

- Derfor bestiller vi dem fra Island. - Det er det, man kalder flyfrisk?

- Hvad koster en agurk her? - De koster cirka 30 kr.

Om vinteren koster æbler cirka 12 kr. Et stort æble.

Så er det med at nyde dem.

Men det er ikke sådan, at vi skal have dem.

- Vi har frossen frugt. - Og det er jo lige så godt.

Det er bare, så kunderne kan få et frisk æble.

- I har masser af frosne grøntsager? - Ja, det har vi.

Jeg vil gerne møde nogle af byens unge.

Tasiilaq har store talenter inden for sportsgrenen Inuit Games.

Det lyder spændende. Måske skal jeg prøve det.

Et gråt hus... Skal vi mon hernedad så?

Hej. Ved du, hvor hallen ligger?

Hallen? Derovre.

Goddag.

Går det godt?

Vi laver en udsendelse, og så rejser jeg med rundt.

Det er en, jeg arbejder med.

I skal bare følge den store vej.

- Ligger der også en anden butik der? - Ja.

Der er et skilt, hvor der står Pilersuisoq.

- Farvel. - Hej, hej.

- Så han en landet. - Du møder altid nogen, du kender.

Nu skal du op og vise din smidighed.

Jeg tog en beslutning som treårig... Der var mange ting, man kunne vælge.

Jeg tænkte: "Smidighed behøver jeg ikke." Den droppede jeg.

Er det rigtigt? Er du stiv som et bræt?

Du ved godt electric boogie, ikke? Den elektriske ål?

De kaldte mig "det elektriske bræt".

Så må jeg jo... Så må jeg jo gøre det.

- Jeg elsker haller. Elsker haller. - Minder.

Så mange minder.

- Gad vide, hvor mange timer... - Hallo.

- Hej. - Hej.

Er det en, man header til? Det ser sådan ud.

Hej. Hej. Nikolaj.

Suulut.

Suulut? Hej. Godt at møde dig.

- Nikolaj. - J.P.

- Hvad hedder du? - Sejer.

One foot high kick-træning til Inuit Games.

Inuit Games er fra Canada eller Alaska.

De leger inuit-lege.

- Sagde du... var det one foot kick? - One foot high kick.

- Skal jeg prøve? - Det skal du da.

- Skal jeg lige vise? - Ja. Det tror jeg.

Hvor stammer det fra med at skulle kunne hoppe?

Det er langt tilbage.

Mange af disciplinerne har baggrund i jagt.

Det er de samme muskler, man bruger.

Man styrker de muskler, man bruger i kajakken eller til at harpunere.

Det, man har brug for for at kunne overleve.

Den her...

Den skal i virkeligheden være glat.

Så skal man prøve at trække den fra hinanden.

Det er træning til at fange ørred med hænderne. Så du kan holde på den.

- Så er der brun sæbe. - Må man tage? Og køre den ind i det.

- Giv mig lige din hånd. - Ja, ja...

Okay.

Okay. Er du klar?

Jeg kan ikke tåle at tabe den her.

Den kommer nu. Kan du mærke det?

Her træner man sin balance, som hvis man kæntrede i sin kajak.

Nå... Det er, så du kan komme op af kajakken -

- eller rulle rundt, hvis du kæntrer.

Det her er en dårlig ide.

Det er da sjovt.

- Er I også med i GM Games? Hvad er din egen rekord i det her?

To meter og 26 centimeter.

- Hvad er din rekord? - To meter og 46.

Bare hold den der.

Er du sindssyg, det er højt.

Prøv lige at se den højde.

Wow!

Kan man ikke bare heade til den? Er det ikke bedre?

Vi klipper det.

- Two foot high kick. - Så er det begge fødder.

I vil gerne have, jeg falder.

Skal vi ikke spille fodbold i stedet for?

I mødes i midten. Du skal lige strække benene.

Jeg kan ikke strække benene.

- Må jeg hive? - Ja, ja.

Du er jo stærk, for helvede.

Av. Av. Den kan du.

Hold kæft... Jeg kan jo ikke engang få den over hovedet.

Hvor mange point giver det at få hovedet igennem?

Bare hold den der.

- Kan du? Skal vi prøve? - Ja.

Den er... en meter og to.

Jeg brækker bade årme og ben og nakke.

- Det så ikke så svært ud. - Hvor er toilettet?

- Jeg tror, det er over 20. - Okay?

- Jeg ramte den da. - Ja, det var godt.

- Den der er sej. - Hold nu op, mand.

Det er godt.

Kan du det? Det må du kunne. Bare én disciplin.

Jeg vandt sgu da over dig i den der med nakken.

- Det er jo kun, fordi du er så fed. - Jeg har min vægt imod mig.

- Du skal svæve. - Og så op med hånden?

Jeg gør det om lidt. Jeg skal bare se dig først.

- Jeg træner. - Jeg svæver.

Det er én arm. Du skal stå på en arm.

Plejer vi at gøre sådan her?

- Skal du også se den? - Ja.

- Okay. - Pas nu på strømperne.

Hold nu op... Hold nu op med det der.

- Skal vi se, hvem der når længst? - Jeg må ikke tage ringen af.

Av for helvede.

Det er helt fantastisk. Det er hårdt. Er der andre discipliner?

- Airplane. - Der var den.

- Airplane. - Ja.

- Gamle Boeing. - Det var flot.

Jeg tager benene. Du tager...

Spænd alt op. Du må ikke bukke...

Armene op.

Sig til, når du er klar.

Der kan gå flere år, før jeg er klar. Jeg var klar for 30 år siden.

- Det er hårdt. - Jeg vidste, du kunne den.

- Du er jo stiv... - Som et bræt.

Til det første GM, hvad fik I da af medaljer?

- To. - To medaljer?

Hold da kæft. Det er flot.

Er det fra hele...? Undskyld. Det er for hårdt, det her.

Drengene repræsenterer Tasiilaq ved grønlandsmesterskaberne.

Da de ikke har flere ledige pladser på holdet i øjeblikket -

- slutter jeg træningen her og fortsætter rundt i byen.

- Var mine spring ikke gode? - Sprang du?

Så du ikke det? Det var så højt, at du ikke kunne se det.

Prøv at se. Var det ikke...?

Hvad ville du vælge? Kaffemaskinen eller kaffen, du har lavet?

- Den. - Så tager jeg den.

Har du også lidt mælk?

Tak skal du have.

Åh, en smuk udsigt, mand.

Jeg ringer lige til Nukâka.

Nu kommer de der knotter.

Hej.

Hej, Fillippa. Og Safina.

Prøv at se en udsigt, der er her.

Er det ikke flot?

- Det er beautiful. - Ja, det er helt vildt.

Vi har lige lavet sådan noget Inuit Games.

Peter var ret god til det.

Hvor har I været henne? Har du været på arbejde? Hallo?

- Nukâka forsvandt. - Kunne du høre mig?

- Jeg har købt sko i dag. - Hvad for nogle? Må jeg se?

Jeg har vist dig dem før. Kan du ikke huske dem?

Jeg kan ikke lige huske gummisko fra hinanden.

De er meget flotte. Hvad kostede de?

- De kostede kun 1200. - Hvor meget sagde du?

Jeg købte dem jo secondhand. Gæt, hvad de kostede som nye.

De må jo have kostet 1500 eller sådan noget.

2800.

Det er jo latterligt for et par gummisko.

Jeg har aftalt med Lars, at han skal sejle mig til Ikateq.

En smuk sejltur små to timer fra byen.

Nu er vi ankommet til Ikateq -

- eller Bluie East Two -

- en lille base anlagt amerikanerne under 2. verdenskrig.

Den blev nedlagt i 1947.

Det, som bliver spændende at se, er jo -

- at den blev forladt, med hvad der nu var.

Der er eddermame lavvande.

Vi må se, om vi kan komme i land.

Kan vi komme i land, Lars, eller skal vi bare blive herude?

Lars, skal jeg ikke komme med ind og hive?

Jeg kommer. Er det god badevandstemperatur?

Jeg synes også, mine fødder er blevet for varme.

Nå, hvad siger du? Skal vi hive...

Om ti minutter er det...

Av for satan.

Hvad for nogle fødder? De er lidt kølige.

Hvem kommer og varmer mine fødder?

Sandet er irriterende.

Nu er der kommet blod ud til mine tæer igen.

Det er vidt. Naturen, der bare langsomt æder...

Prøv lige at se, hvor mange der er derovre.

Hold kæft, mand.

Når man kigger rundt, er det et paradis -

- og så kommer det her tøndelandskab.

De sidste ti år har der været meget debat om det her.

Det er en blevet en politisk varm kartoffel.

Grønland siger: "Det er noget svineri.

Hvorfor skal vi have alt det her lort liggende?"

USA sagde: "Det må I snakke med Danmark om.

Vi vandt krigen, sa vi synes, Danmark skal tage den."

Det var landingsbanen. Det er rimelig imponerende...

Den blev bygget i 1942. Den er fuldstændig plan stadigvæk.

Jeg er sikker på, et fly kunne lande. Den er helt plan.

Det er som at spille grusball i Tybjerg.

Der var flere hulle i vores grusbane end det her.

Det må være den gamle hangar.

Fra Grønland kunne USA gennemføre missioner i Europa -

- og overvåge Nordatlanten under ubådskrigen mod Tyskland.

Det gav sammenstød med tyskerne, som også ville have baser i Grønland.

Grønland har jo været vigtig i den krig -

- og i, at de allierede vandt krigen. Det her er et monument over den tid.

Det er som en postapokalyptisk horrorfilm.

Det er vildt, at de har transporteret alt det her fra USA.

Den bliver svær at redde, den her.

Det har været en lille base, men alligevel en hel base.

En ting er tønderne, men noget andet er bilerne.

Det absurde i, at nogle af dem stadig har luft i ringene -

- mens alt andet er fortæret.

Det er eddermame flot.

Samtidig er det jo også...

Det er for mig personligt en mærkelig blanding af -

- noget enormt beskæmmende med alt det her metalskrot -

- i den smukke natur...

Samtidig er det sindssygt fascinerende.

Det minder om en stor kunstinstallation.

Hvis det var mig, ville jeg fjerne noget af det -

- men også lave noget information omkring det.

Jeg tror, mange ville synes, det var interessant.

Nogle gamle nogle som mig.

I Tasiilaq er stemningen høj.

Byen har fået ny fodboldbane, og det skal fejres.

Undskyld? Hvad skal der ske ellers?

- Vi har fået fodboldbane. - Ja, men skal der ske noget?

Er det første dag? Og hvad så? Så er der flere kampe?

- Vi hygger. - I hygger? Det er godt.

Daniel fortæller om, hvad kommunen gør for de unge og for fællesskabet.

Vi laver nogle arrangementer. For eksempel fodboldarrangementer.

- Det er jer, der laver det? - Ja.

Noget, hvor man kan bevæge sig. Vi tager børn, unge og ældre med.

Vi går meget op i fodbold her i Østgrønland.

Én kunne ikke huske, hvornår han sidst havde set så mange børn ude.

Det bliver rigtig populært herude. Det er godt, at de får det.

Der er månedlige arrangementer oppe i hallen.

Det er alkoholfrit og helt gratis for alle.

- Hvor kom den fra? - Ind på banen med den.

Det kunne lige passe, at jeg tyrede den i hovedet på en pige.

De har ventet i tre år.

Man skulle vente på, at de bygninger, som er børnehaven, skulle bygges.

Så vår der fyldt op med containere her.

Nu, endelig.

Nu bliver der uddelt diplomer.

Og så slutter det. Så er banen åben for alle.

- Så har du diplom? - Ja.

Er det klubben? Skidegodt.

- Det er fedt med den bane her. - Ja, det er dejligt.

- Har du spillet i dag? - Jeg er for ung. Jeg er oldboy.

- Jeg tænkte også, at jeg kunne have spillet med her.

Vi starter i morgen. Turneringen. Østgrønlandsmesterskabet.

Det starter kl. 15.

- Hvor mange klubber er det? - Jeg tror, det er fire klubber.

Hvad er TM-62's chance?

Jeg håber, vi vinder.

Tasiilaq kæmper med en del sociale problemer.

De unge savner noget at lave.

Den nye fodboldbane kan måske hjælpe lidt.

Vi skal ind til en gletsjer. Lars, du sagde, der skal være lidt fare.

Der er fare for, at vi dør. Hvis det her var amerikansk...

Måske overlever vi ikke.

Vi skal over til en bræ, en gletsjer, der kommer ned derovre.

Vi mødte tilfældigvis en italiener, der hedder Nicco, på hotellet.

Han viste os et billede af en ishule, han havde fundet.

Det lød for spændende til ikke at se, om vi kunne komme over at se den.

Jeg tror, det er den bræ, der kommer ned derovre.

Jeg har ikke været i en isgrotte før. Gletsjere bevæger sig langsomt -

- men det med, at man skal ind under 50 meter is...

Det virker umiddelbart lidt klaustrofobisk.

Og jeg har hørt, at for en uge siden styrtede en grotte i nærheden sammen.

Så...

- Goddag. -Hej.

- Nicco... - Velkommen.

Den er til dig. En hjelm. Vi går hen til forsiden af gletsjeren.

- Klassisk Poul Nyrup. - Klassisk.

Vi går op og udforsker gletsjeren.

- Finder det ukendte. - Finder det ukendte.

- Godt? - Lad os gøre det.

- Du skal ikke grine. Du skal give mig selvtillid.

Du har en riffel med.

- Hvad har du planer om at skyde? - Forhåbentlig ikke noget.

De eneste dyr her er isbjørne.

- Hvor mange ar er du kommet her? - De sidste fem år.

- Hvor mange isbjørne har du set? - Kun én. Det var i går.

Jeg håber ikke, vi ser den i dag.

Oppe på toppen af øen, i juli måned, så jeg friske spor.

- Lige her? - Ja.

Okay. Der er en isbjørn i området. Den vil jeg helst ikke støde på.

Men der er andet at spekulere på, for vi er fremme ved grottens åbning.

Der er den.

Hvor sikkert er det at gå derind?

Det er 100% sikkert.

Man skal bare være opmærksom på det, der er over os.

Loftet og kanten af loftet er der, hvor isen er tyndest.

Så der skal vi ikke opholde os alt for længe. Vi skal bare igennem.

Fint. Jeg har altid fået at vide, at gletsjere bevæger sig.

Ja, men den bevæger sig så langsomt, at den ikke kan styrte sammen.

Kun det alleryderste, hvor vi er. Ikke siderne.

Godt. Lad os gøre det.

Gå langsomt hen over stenene.

- Sikke et sted. - Helt ufatteligt.

- Er vi under isen her? - Under gletsjeren, ja.

Så det her har været begravet i hvor mange år?

Tusinder af år. Hundredtusinder af år.

- Hvor dyb er grotten? - Omkring 60 meter.

60 meter? Hvor usædvanligt er det at finde en grotte som den her?

Det er meget usædvanligt.

Nu ændrer lyset sig.

Hold da fast.

Der kom en lille revne. En lille revne...

Der sker ikke noget.

Hold da fast...

Der sker ikke noget.

Lad os gå derind.

Det er en god kur mod min klaustrofobi.

- Godt. Så kom. - Nu gør vi det.

Lad os se, hvor langt vi kan komme ind.

Den bliver ved og ved.

Det er fantastisk.

Det er smukt, men giver lidt kryb...

Det er utrolig smukt, men samtidig er det lidt...

Jeg ved jo, at vi er inden i en gletsjer -

- som bevæger sig og slår revner.

Jeg ved godt, der ikke sker noget, men i mit hoved...

Jeg stoler på dig. Jeg har kendt dig mindst en time.

Hvis det var et filmset, ville der være et kranie derinde.

Hold kæft, hvor er det smukt.

Når du kommer her, sidder du så bare...

- Og venter. - Og kigger?

Ja. Jeg bliver aldrig træt af det.

Lyset skifter hver dag, afhængigt af skyerne og tidspunktet på dagen.

Det er magisk. Men når jeg tænker på, at der er 30 meter is over mig -

- gør det mig ret nervøs.

Sikke en oplevelse.

Man er jo helt stoppet med indtryk.

Nu skal vi videre.

Vi skal til et af de steder, jeg har været før. Sydgrønland

Nukâka, min kone, hendes fars familie kommer fra Sydgrønland.

Vi har købt et lille hus dernede.

Infrastrukturen er sådan, at man ikke bare kan smutte til Sydgrønland.

Vi skal tilbage over indlandsisen til Nuuk og så til Narsarsuaq.

Først skal vi altså omkring hovedstaden, Nuuk -

- hvor vi var for cirka en uge siden.

Hvis vi er heldige, så lander vi klokken... kvart i syv.

I Nuuk bestilte jeg en gave til min kone hos kunstneren Peter Kujooq.

- God rejse. - Tak.

Den skal vi ind at hente. Håber jeg.

Jeg kan næsten ikke tro, at han er blevet færdig.

Vi lagde meget pres på ham ved at stå med kameraet.

Jeg kan vise det billede, han sendte.

Han sagde, det var lidt mere i Picasso-stilen.

Så den er jo næsten færdig.

- Halløj. - Hej.

Nå.

- Har du haft travlt? - Ja. Hej.

Du måtte gerne have været en dag forsinket.

Den er da helt vildt flot, mand.

Hold kæft, mand.

Wow.

Du har satanedeme været dygtig.

Det er fandeme imponerende.

Du er fandeme dygtig.

Jeg glæder mig.

Skal du have en tur? Lige få ordnet håret.

Skål.
