#not gonna sprite this because i'm lazy and don't have sprites

[gb-patch]

Hi! I saw your ask about skin tones and honestly, that is very much a barebones excuse to not include skintones in your game. You act as though adding skintones to a sprite would be a complete hand-drawn new asset when it would quite literally be filling in a pre drawn base for both Opal and the mc. Not only that but you potentially have thousands of mc outfits you promised for specific tier havers on the kickstarter. And then for 250,000 dollars, you're telling me we'll get more colors but not even 2 or 4 skintones when there are games with Less funding who have more skintones? Especially considering OL:B&A had the exact same amount of skintones and I could count all the afro centric hairstyles in that game on my two hands. I rather have more skintones than just pale, peach, olive, tan, brown and dark brown (most of which screams a 2000s foundation line of tones) than have more hair or clothing colors. I'm sorry, I love your games, I really do but that's an extremely lazy and abhorrent response from you and I am extremely disappointed.

"Hi. I just saw the post about you not adding in more skintones. I really hope this doesn't come across as rude or demanding but I find your reasoning for not being able to add them...lackluster at best. With all due respect, you set this goal for 250k, over three times the original goal you set for the kickstarter, the idea that somehow you can promise an additional set of darker colours for the clothes, accesories hair and eyes alongside the additional MC pieces people are going to request but not an additional skintone because of Opal seems a little ridiculous. I'm not an experienced artist but I do know how art files tend to work and I imagine adding additional colours to Opal's base design wouldn't be an extreme undertaking. In fact, by contrast, the work to add more colours to the clothes and hairs seems much more labourous considering the amount of them and the fact that some of the clothes have subcolours.

Again, I do hope I don't come accross as rude but I just feel like this announcement was highly dissapointing, especially considering the fact that the additional colours are currently the biggest goal for the kickstarter at the moment" There were two replies, so I put them together. I hope that's alright.

I understand. It would be bad and make no sense if that didn’t happen. I can say that this has nothing to do with funding. I'm not gonna attach more skin tones to a stretch goal, that’s not fair. It’ll be done whenever it can be regardless of what happens with the Kickstarter.

The other colors for hair and such is something I confirmed can be done by our programmer ahead of time using a color picker system in coding.

The situation as it stands today for Opal is that I personally don't have the skills to recolor her myself, the artist we have is in a situation where it would be unkind to increase how much work they have to do (it'd be easier if even less work could be on them), and while another artist could be hired- that hasn't happened at this point. So, saying it "could happen but maybe not" is cautious development process. It’s how it went with both the Cove Patreon Bonus Moments, where I pretended for months that it may or may not happen while working on it behind the scenes because I wasn’t sure how long I’d need to finish it and was worried it could be delayed for long stretches of time.

Being realistic, it is virtually a 100% certainly that before the game comes out, the skin tones will be expanded. There is no good reason why it wouldn’t. I was waiting until things got to a better point in production before coming out to officially say that it’s happening.

And I could’ve said it’s extremely likely but we’re not able to do it quite yet and avoided making anyone feel hurt. I wish my way of handling it hadn’t made the people who believed in our games sad. The reason why I didn’t is that I just can’t help but be averse to making promises I can’t do/the team can’t do and so have to rely on something else working out at some point in the future, even if it is entirely likely that it will.

That’s because I know that these things will make a lot of people happy. I want the excitement and any praise that might come to not happen until the goal has been achieved or is on the way to being achieved for sure. To a degree it’s helpful for players to have confidence in what the company is promoting, but it’s mainly to help with my own habit of catastrophizing. I tend to believe bad things could happen and I’ll let people down even when it’s so unlikely it’s not worth considering. I consider it anyway. And so, you get this kind of long-term hedging before the feature people hoped for suddenly appears. Even now my compulsion is to add a caveat that “there’s still a chance something (I don’t even know what) could happen and it won’t be added so don’t thank me yet” despite me already coming out with the truth that there’s every intention to have it added. I’m sorry to have disappointed you and made you feel disregarded by doing this. Hopefully when the skin options are expanded people will be able to enjoy the game a lot more than how it is with the current demo. And thanks for taking the time to let me know what you thought rather than giving up on the project entirely.

In an alternative universe where Earthbound 64 and Super Mario RPG 2 merged development

I'm supposing in the context of this version, the Star Spirits serve as the guardians of the needles instead, but instead of vanishing they are freed upon each needle? And maybe you encounter the Masked Man much more often as a result.

Don't ask why Lucas has Goombario as his partner tho lol, too lazy to make a custom partner even though partners based on chimeras would be cute.

Paper Mario assets other than character sprites are a lot harder to come by than Undertale, probably because of its use of 3d backgrounds, so I had to edit screenshots I took from a playthrough to make these. Things aren't gonna look perfect and resolution is low as a result unfortunately. In addition, I struggled to replicate the smoothing effect seen in-game. (and finally: nobody seems to know let alone have the font used in the original Paper Mario, so I used Hey Gorgeous, which mimics the font used in TTYD)

That said, I'm proud of my sprite work if nothing else. I wanted to make more, but this already took a lot of work.

[smileposting]

changes i noticed in the new GGG demo

compiled based on snapcube's vod and my own experimentation. this focuses more on changes in gameplay/overarching story than new character interactions facilitated by new dialogue, so keep that in mind. full list under the cut!

click clack is now the god of storytelling as opposed to the god of teamwork, at least according to bibo.

razzma v. tazz is either razzma's full name or her pen name (based on the fact that he is also addressed as razzmatazz.)

bizzyboy in da ferris wheel....? not sure if this is new actually

rodney (the dog) is here.

skolopendra is now in the very first section of the grove you encounter as opposed to being on the south island.

bug's got new dialogue if you choose to just keep standing there after he gives you his questline. you're creepin' him out!

very ominous black rabbits found near king cutouts. you can interact with each of them exactly once. said interaction is just the camera zooming in and playing a vine boom adjacent sound.

you can interact with the cardboard cutout of mitternacht and knock it down, but you can't interact with the one of inspekta at all.... hm...

new usable dialogue from P: P here!

new usable dialogue from jacqueline: get ready for pets, cutie pie!

new usable dialogue from skolopendra: tiny weak little bug.

new usable dialogue from rodney: BARKBARKBARKBARK

al had his shaboingboings before the cutscene introducing all the bizzyboys plays, but in the actual cutscene he's still trying gobble down that beachball. either this is a glitch or the implication is that al had two whole plates of shaboingboings and was still hungry afterwards so he ate the ball, and will then proceed to have another two plates of shaboingboings.

capochin calls inspekta "spek"... cute....

new usable dialogue from capochin: GET TO WORK, YOU LAZY PUP!

inspekta's van is also explicitly referred to as a campaign van. interestin'...

inspekta himself is a Lot more noticeably passive aggressive in this version lmao

oh shit they changed the handwriting in king's letter to miss mitternacht.

THEY CHANGED THE LETTER TOO.

whoever wrote this letter has generational trauma swag there i said it. "back where i'm from people WORK for their praise they don't just have godhood HANDED to them" okaaaayyy next you're gonna say you're one of the good ones and embarrass tf out of your kids in the process

i think peeps has a talking sprite now? i think everyone got new sprites for specific actions/responses/emotions actually, gods included.

miss mitternacht being of human origin is called into question; according to sirena, some believe mitternacht was never even alive to begin with.

al does not have his second plate of shaboingboings because he frew up :( but hey at least P joins him on his snack break :)

the beach ball is now a usable item that you can return!

new particle effect on mitternacht's model to make it clear that she is Constantly Crying.

more spanglish in razzma's dialogue. lots of emphasis is placed on her near-photographic memory when it comes to king, and he uses it a lot to calm herself down when he gets too emotional.

oh hey rodney's on this island too.

2nd ominous bunny appears

new eating sfx in the rift psa

the P puppet is going to town on that sandwich (not sure if this is new either)

skolopendra talks about how razzma took king's apparent betrayal especially hard.

new usable dialogue from miss mitternacht: I MISS MY ELOQUENT KING!

jacqueline is PICKING BUG UP BY THE HEAD!!!

new usable dialogue from jacqueline: I AM GOING TO EAT YOU.

"and the next thing you know, you're loading a boat with two of every animal. you don't want that, do you?" MISS MITTERNACHT....?

funny inspekta animatronic; you can free up inventory by feeding dialogue to it.

EDIT 10/15/2024: new usable dialogue from marsha: DON'T WORRY, MISSY! INSPEKTA WILL SAVE THE DAY!

feel free to add other observations in the replies/reblogs if you find em! >;P

Mysteries Running Deeper...

[Future Foundation Branch 14 Head Office - Several Hours Later]

This feels...strange...This was basically my home for so long, but...having not been here in a year, it feels...weird coming back.

Yeah. Same is true for me. I haven't been here in a long time either.

And recently, I was worried that I might never be able to come back.

Why not?

Kyoko loves me dearly, but she knows to make tough calls. If I hadn't gotten out of that twisted headspace when I did, I...Well, you get the picture.

Makoto...I know this didn't work out so well the last time but...maybe it would be best if you sought consultation with Miaya.

I know...Maybe that would be best...still...

*He reaches out and takes her hand.

I don't think I would have been comfy spending time in this office if you weren't here in it. Shortly after you...left...every time someone came in through the door I'd raise my head hoping it'd be you but...it was never going to be.

I...I know I can't stop you from doing your duty, but...Please...Never do any of that again. For me, or for anyone else.

That's not a promise I can keep...

Well, you had fuckin' bettah...

Ah!? K-Kuripa!?

You're...WHAT!? You're ok!?

Eh...Mostly...

Hey...

*Kuripa is wheeled into the room on a chair by Uchui. His face is patched up, but his broken legs and arms are thoroughly bandaged. Uchui also has smaller bandages around his face.

Jeez...You got that face issue fixed FAST!

I told you guys, Uchui's tech is like magic.

I've done operations like this on Kuripa at least a dozen times already, but I actually had surgical help from Tsumiki and Inori this time. They insisted he take pain medicine and lie down for a few hours...not sure why since he doesn't feel pain anyway...but he insisted on coming to talk to you guys.

This is the first time he's thoroughly damaged his face, but it should be equally as persuadable. Still, it's gonna leave a nasty scar.

I don't see a scar.

Yeah, well, it'll take a while to form, but it'll pop up eventually. I might have to get stitches to prevent half my face falling off in the future.

Is...that...really how that...works?

Nah, I don't think so, but Mod Creeper was too lazy to go and add a scar to all my sprites. So hopefully it'll be on my redesign in Phase 3.

I don't know what any of those words mean, but I'm glad you're doing better.

...

So...is it really true? You really can't feel pain?

Pfft...Check the medical records if you don't believe me. They only now just got updated to include my condition.

Is that why you avoided getting medical help for so long? You didn't want anyone else knowing about your CIPA's?

Pretty much...It's...pretty personal to me. I didn't tell you guys, not because I don't trust you, but because I just don't like talking about how fucked up I am in basically every way...

How many people knew before you and Kibin told us?

[sunshine-embry]

A Silly Little BMC Au :D

I got lazy and didn't do any art but I'm too excited to post this.

So it's called opposite au, and I'm gonna yap about my idea a lot so press read more if you wanna be flash banged by text :)

.・゜-: ✧☾　☽✧ :-゜・.Characters.・゜-: ✧☾　☽✧ :-゜・.

Jeremy: He is now a popular punk kid. Still friends with Michael, but hates Rich and Jake - he actually bullies them - and still has a crush on Christine. Instead of his parents divorcing, his mom died. Personality wise, he's now super super mean and that's important.

Michael: BIG EMO. Still friends with Jeremy, but is now player 2 iykwim. I have nothing else to say about him :/ Also has homophobic parents while he's gay idk :/

Christine: Anti-social math nerd. Very shy, yet somehow very popular. She doesn't actually like Jeremy all that much, mainly because he bullies Rich and Jake. Also hates Michael, but that isn't plot relevant. Also very minimalist.

Rich: Nicest kid in school. Can you see the plot so far? Anyway, just overall very very nice. That's his entire personality. Also imagine his entire closet being those types of shirts that say "in my mind I am holding a frog' and things like that.

Jake: Stereotypical anti-social nerd. That's basically it. Also his entire closet is just sweater vests . Also also still best friends with Rich.

Chloe: Second smartest girl in school. Basically hella cutecore. I don't have many ideas for the girls :/

Brooke: Smartest girl in school. Also tomboy

Jenna: Prettiest and most popular girl in school. Girly-girl

.・゜-: ✧☾　☽✧ :-゜・.Plot.・゜-: ✧☾　☽✧ :-゜・.

Act 1

Jeremy likes Christine who in the mathletes. Michael manages to convince Jeremy to join the mathletes, in which Jeremy asks Christine out. Christine obviously says no because Jeremy is a bully ect ect.

So Jeremy goes to the bathroom to take a break from the nonsense math where he sees Rich washing his hands. Rich introduces Jeremy to a SQUIP to make Jeremy more nice.

So Jeremy and Michael go to the mall and buy a SQUIP for Jeremy, which need to be taken with lemon & lime Sprite. So he takes that and goes to the mall store(?) and sees Brooke and Chloe.

Since they never really talked before, and since Brooke's impressed by how nice Jeremy is, she asks to take to him on a date to Denny's (I REFUSE TO CHANGE HER TAKING HIM TO DENNY'S)

Jeremy politely accepts, even though the SQUIP tells him not to, but then ghosts Brooke.

So the next day, Jeremy goes to the mathletes meeting again and Christine tells Jeremy that she has a crush on Jake who's also there because he's a nerd.

Christine and Jake start to date, making Jeremy big sad, so he dates Brooke to get back at Christine.

Act 2

Jake throws a Halloween party at his house because he's trying to become popular. Basically everything is the same until Rich sets a fire.

Rich goes around not so politely asking if anybody has any cherry Sprite.

Of course, nobody does, so he sets Jake's house on fire. It makes sense. So the rumors go spiral like usual, blah, blah, blah.

So Rich - after he leaves the hospital - holds a sleepover at his house, inviting Jake, Jeremy, Brooke, Chloe and Jenna

So the Squip starts being not so nice to Jeremy and tries to force him to Squip his friends, in which he does.

The Play happens but it's in a sleepover scenario, Michael breaks in through the open window once Jeremy calls him, the whole thing (I kinda wrote myself into a corner by making Christine in the mathletes instead of the play so just work with me)

And yeah. I kinda didn't know what to do with the second half. that's it :/ Might write a fic about this.

Am I over thinking tilesets?

I've been working on a new set of tiles over the last year, with a lot of work placed mostly in hospital and home themed sets, and a school set next. There's more I'm going to make, but they still don't feel finished yet. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, or if they would still be needed, so here's a pole to maybe help me get a gauge on whether they are done or not.

The home and hospital sets have door sprites, A2, A4, A5, and B-D. Currently working on the sprites as well, which are also going to have a lot of sheets since I'm trying to account for skin tones and different hairs. Hairs being particularly hard since I'm working at 16x32 scale, and the sprites are slightly shorter than that, so I'll have room for larger hair and hats.

Maybe it's just because I'm particularly picky and love having options myself that I want to put so much in them, but they're also sets I want to sell (save for the home set, as that's gonna be a free base set). I worry about recolors being seen as lazy, about there not being enough items, etc. I want them to be worth the price I want to set for them (like 5 bucks per set). Already have plans for some outside tiles that'll be part of the base set, soon as I figure out how to make plants to my satisfaction.

Also, please ignore the weirdly spaced table and chairs, that's for an event I'm still trying to figure out the looks of in MZ. . x . ;

[perfectlovevn]

(i'm so sorry, i'm not sure if you accept reviews or not so feel free to ignore this)

Helloo!! I'm brazilian and i'm still learning english so forgive me for any grammar mistakes. I've gotten all endings (i guess- please let me know if i missed anything!) so here's my review of Perfect Love! ♥

I loved this game sooo much! I never played an visual novel with a mean main character and it was just amazing. The trope of ''us'' being the actual villains is very interesting and it made the game super unique! It's also pretty obvious the amount of effort and hard work that's in the game, I was impressed by the quality of it all.

The music and sound effects are pretty good, I loved it all! The artstyle is very pleasing to look at and the black/white/grey contrast with Milo's blue/red eyes are such a nice touch too. I also loved the amount of easter eggs (you couldn't imagine the face I made when I named myself 'Ren') and secret endings/scenes.

Fortunately, when I first played, I knew nothing about the game nor about Milo (which I believe made the experience better since everything turned out to be surprising) and the endings were really good. Through the gameplay, I've encontered one grammar mistake (which I forgot to screenshot it, sorry) and one sprite glitch but nothing that made me annoyed.

After finishing the 8 main endings, I decided it was time to look a little bit on the official Tumblr's page of the VN and that's when I decided to test out all of the easter eggs and that's when I discovered the secret scenes.

So, to summary it all: absolutely 10/10! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun playing a game and being so invested in unlocking all of it's content! I was flabbergasted when I lost all of my endings heh

Please let me know if I missed anything- I'd be more than happy to clear the game entirely.

Hello there! I love reviews. On my other blog I always write recommendations/reviews for other vns, so I'm always open to seeing what people like and dislike about the game. I hope you don't mind that I'm just gonna mash these two asks into one ask.

Thank you! I also think that a lot of vns don't always focus on being the bad guy in the story and those that do I usually enjoy quite a lot! I'm glad you like the quality of it, it was a lot of fighting renpy and it's UI because I have a one sided rivalry with the base renpy UI. I tried to make it look good though I think I maybe should have attempted to redraw some of the sprites for Milo (for like the third time).

For the art style itself, I actually did it in black and white because it was originally for the 2023 yanjam and I wanted to make a style that wouldn't be extremely tiring for me, and I really like lineart so I made everything in black and white (and also because I'm lazy, I say as I animate half of my assets). The red and blue really make it pop at the end since it's one of the few time color is used in the game. I love when people put easter eggs in their game and I know of a lot of yandere vns so I wanted to put in a ton! I'll probably put in even more in the update when I get all of the extra stories done because putting easter eggs like that is very fun.

Having no knowledge of a game is always a good way to be surprised about the premise and I think it definitely was something good in your case too! For the grammer/ sprite errors if you do ever play or remember what they were, please let me know. I'll try to fix it in the next update if possible.

It's always so nice seeing that people like my game though! I tried my hardest to make it a worthwhile experience and considering it's (technically) my first game, it really makes me happy to see that people really like it! Hopefully it doesn't have too much of the first game amatureness that tends to come (nothing wrong with it, but I hopefully have showcased I kind of know what I'm doing, I say, sweating profusely) .

Yup! That is all of the scenes in the game so far. At least that you can access. If you look inside of the code, I actually have two scenes that I put in there. One of them is pretty much a test scene featuring the character from the next game I'm making, and the other is a special scene where you go to Milo's apartment. You can't access those in the main game, but you can play them if you edit the code a bit.

Basically (for those who don't know), all you have to do is put "jump" and then the name of the label afterwards (so for instance if the label is "rabbit" you would put "jump rabbit") after label start in the code. The two scenes that are not accessable in the game are the last two scenes in the script.rpy file just to make it easier for you. (I put a note that says like "#I'm very dedicated to my craft I say as I disect Milo and then beat him with a stick" because I'm sorry Milo, you deserve better)

But yes, thank you for taking your time and writing your long review! I love it so much.

Normal update, winter XXIV

BUT IT'S NOT WINTER ANYMORE HA! Happy after-equinox to y'all. I planned to write the update in march and it's still technically march but, like, y'know, it's the first day of spring so it feels kind of late, ig? Not that it really matters here and I drew Morana on fire so all is good.

This is not completely [un]related but I'm trying to complete the 'draw sth for 100 days straight' challenge and rn it's going okay though I have to admit I'm being a lazy ass. But hey, a bad sketch a day is still a drawing. Not sure if that's the reason I wasn't able to complete my easter sketch dump but knowing me it wouldn't be finished anyway so whatever ig. AND YES, I WILL DRAW FATHER DAKI ON TIME. I planned to do it when I was drawing Agatha for thug in PE's style but oh well... You'll see both ot these pics on the first of april.

Also, like, in case anyone was interested, I finally decided to learn how to adult and might open comms this year? I tell myself I'll open them since, like, 2020 so yeah. Maybe. I think I will, tho.

Current game stuff

Mushroom game... Yeah... It exists and I technically haven't dropped it but yeah... Yeah... Tbh I even hid the link from my page but it's still public and all... But yeah... It goes into the "finally finish it in 2024, you stupid fuck" list - which, incidentally, is a mouthful so from now on it's gonna be "24 >:C" - together with Enmity and all.

Remember the golem game? Yeah, we don't see its non human form but I did technically draw it. Humanoids are, like, so last decade. It's called Sorcerer's golem and because I was not the lead, we managed to nicely finish it on time ✨ [Unrelated but I wonder what happened to the old unicode emotes, I need to look into it]. There's not really a lot I have to say here, tbh. It's short, it's wholesome, I'm totally not gonna go almost fully lineless again. I almost died and it was only two sprites. Never again proceeds to do that again later anyway.

Some time after, or maybe during, I can't really remember, I heard of Queer Vampire Jam and ofc had to join because I wouldn't be me if I managed to stop myself from joining yet another jam. It just so happened I both felt like shit and read something from my SF gods at the time so I commited this open ended 3k long story and it's, like, really obvious how I felt and what I was reading but then I decided to go yolo and publish it anyway, especially since I got an editor and made laby draw for me. Just had to publish it at that point. Enough about that, though - let's see what is it all about. Vani vani, because Tas tatum was deemed too lame of a name is a story about a [queer obviously] vampire who's kinda dead inside and it shows. I did say it was obvious I felt like shit. I'm not sure if it ended up being too edgy or not... I mean, I made it really obvious it's, like gestures vaguely y'know? I don't wanna spell it out but, like, the theme and everything there was so obvious I'll be disappointed in you if you didn't get it based on the pun title [the other two layers of puns there aren't as obvious] and the page/thumbnail. Unless, of course, you never heard about it at all which might be the case for people from other continents, I wouldn't know. I realise that doesn't say a lot about the contents but I mean, it's more of a progress update, I'm not actually trying to market anything here lol So whatever. It might be the only game ever where I put a whole nsfw scene of a sexual nature... Or it might just be the beginning of my unsexy h scene adventures. I even asked others how to make it as unsexy as possible and I hope I succeed. Going into gore or kink migh be sexy for some but boredom? Probably to no one who actually reads it. And, as is the case with my other personal games, not a lot of people read them. So I think I succeed at that. It's just the beginning of my SF adventures, though. Be prepared.

Now for the thing that might interest the potential reader the most because I saw the statistics and I bet all the follows are alse due to that - Impostor Syndrome. I know the page is pretty much silent but we are working on this. The common route received a lot of notes to make it longer, more cohesive, funnier and possibly better for all the gremlins that wanted a troll mode. Or at least that was the plan. Route wise we had something but after some consideration, it had to be basically scrapped. I won't go into all the details here as for why, but the rewriting of the outline is proceeding. Slowly cause it's kinda hard to find the best time to talk when you have multiple people from different timezones to consider but I think it's looking good. There's a sliiight possibility it might be a bit less vanilla than, like, your typical sfw otome but I don't think any vanilla lover would think it's too much or anything. Not nearly kinky enough for that. I think labelling it as having a soft dom MC might even be false advertising. Maybe. Hell if I know, I suck at tags. But yeah, it's proceeding. Obviously it won't be out during winter but I do think it will be finished this year. Most likely.

From other game stuff... I might have a monster type project made with Ameena for you. Or I might not. The designs are done but is anything gonna come out of them? We'll see. Leaving the possibility open.

I helped Doibats [who I helped with Cool Days before] with some art. This time it's an rpg, currently still in development. The cool art direction is still there so I think it would be worth a play when it's out. I think I'm more of a guest artist than an actual member of the team, though lol But yeah, check it out when it's done, I'll link it then.

Yet another game where I didn't do much - The Villainess Just Wants To Eat!! had its full, official release 🎉 Congrats to the team [check out their gui, btw]. I was mostly helping with this or that due to the usual jam team stuff that happens but yeah. Syd wrote afterstories for the charas, too. They're technically linked on the game's page, too, but you can read them on her tumblr, too.

I kind of forgot to mention, which also ties with my next point, but she hosted the Ossan jam again which I planned to join with my nano project about Wedding crashers but I overestimated my ability to write energetic chaos so... umm... Well, it's not dropped and while it won't get done in time for nano, I think I'll manage before Ossan jam ends. It started as a loose idea that kinda parodied romcoms and then the protag became an AAA battery but also aplatonic and then I got some concepts from tea[? - dunno how they want to be called 'officially' and this one seemed safe but?] and yeah. I'm trying to work on this, though. Even though I feel so stupid attempting to write an anthropologist. Should've stuck to writing mostly what you know like with Vani vani, eehhh... Wish me luck o3o

The last thing, or two, probably, is more of a... forecast? I happened to help with the editing of a certain 18+ otome game but I'm not on the team or anything so I can't really tell you more since I don't know how much should I reveal to the potential player but from what I've seen, the development goes well since they started making it for nano and might actually be finished before Otome jam ends so I'll link it then.

The other thing is that in an unspecified future I might have a yet another AAA battery protagonist, this time replacing the MC of an otome isekai story. I'm not sure how much I'll help with [maybe just editing, maybe we'd become a two person team, who knows] but it has a hight possibility of being developed eventually. No set dates or anything, though.

Pariiish noootiiiceees

Remember Tentacle jam and Insect [adjacent] jam? They're still happening, I'm just being lazy setting the pages up. The working date is from around the middle of august to the middle of october due to all the other jams happening at the time. I think it's the final date, though. It's come to my attention there's also the Monstrous Desires jam that also shares the timeframe almost perfectly so, y'know, why not make a game that lets you join all three of them? Just a thought.

My god, this thing became so long. Like half the length of my typical personal project orz I had to add all the Ps and BRs manually. Damn you, html shakes fist

Over.

Since Sylveon from Courtney (Prodject SNT) has trolled every pokemon, I decided to make my own roasts, starting with Kanto.

Bulbasaur: How does it feel to be the best Kanto starter strategically and yet also the least popular?

Ivysaur: If it wasn't for smash, most people would've forgotten that you exist.

Venusaur: Why do you have such an ugly backside?

Charmander: For the most popular starter, you'd think you would have a more consistent sprite.

Charmeleon: Pikachu being a mouse I get, but how are you a chameleon!?

Charizard: Their category should be changed to "The cash cow pokemon".

Squirtle: Remember when people thought you were part squirrel because of your name and tail?

Wartortle: Who are you again?

Blastoise: How do you grab anything with those stubby arms?

Caterpie: Hello, Wormy from Spongebob.

Metapod: 💤💤💤.

Butterfree: I prefer mine with butter, thank you very much.

Weedle: Well if it isn't the only pokemon who can't learn any normal type moves.

Kakuna: It's slightly more interesting than Metapod, but only slightly.

Beedrill: You look more like a hornet than a bee, so go away!

Pidgey: Baby's first birdie.

Pidgeotto: They clearly dye their head feathers to get that flawless red color.

Pidgeot: Why does the middle evolution have the longer name!?

Rattata: Youngster Joey is the only one who actually likes you.

Raticate: You do look a hairy potato with teeth.

Spearow: How does it feel to have the anime label you all as aggressive assholes?

Spearow: You have to be the worst shiny I ever catched!

Ekans: If it wasn't for team rocket, you'd only be known for your ridiculous name.

Arbok: Seviper is apparently their evolution, no wait, the anime is just full of lies.

Pickachu: They're basically Mickey mouse if he had electric powers.

Raichu: The anime just had to make every raichu an asshole to give Ash's pikachu an excuse to not want to evolve.

Sandshrew: You look more like an armadillo than a shrew.

Sandslash: Your Alolan form is a lot more interesting.(it's my opinion, don't attack me)

The entire nidoran line (both male and female): The fact that nidoran♀ is the only one who can breed with the entire nidoran♂ feels like an unintentional p*dofelic breeding fetish.

Clefairy: I personally think making pikachu the mascot instead was a good call.

Clefable: Remember, the clefairy line walked so elgyem and beheeyem could run.

Vulpix: I've got nothing, vulpix is the best Kanto pokemon.(again, it's my opinion, don't attack me)

Ninetales: Congratulations for having one of the least creative pokemon names.

Jigglypuff: How does it feel to only be known for being a brat in the anime?

Wigglytuff: It's gen one sprite was really something else, and not in a good way.

Zubat: The vermin of caves.

Golbat: How do you fly with that big mouth?

Oddish: "Insert 4/20 joke here"

Gloom: Its name speaks for itself.

Vileplume: I bet it smells as vile as its name suggests.

Paras: Can someone please remove those parasitic mushrooms from its back!?

Parasect: Too late, they've already taken over...

Venonat: The anime also lies about it not being a bug type.

Venomoth: You're only remembered because a dumb theory.

Diglett: Someone pointed out that their nose looks like a mouth with one tooth and now I can't unsee it.

Dugtrio: This evolution is almost as lazy as electrode.(I'm gonna get a lot of death threats with how much I'm bashing gen one)

Meowth: You're the Tom to Pikachu's Jerry.

Persian: Try not to get a big head, okay?

Psyduck: Do you need some ibuprofen?

Golduck: It's the "why isn't this a psychic type" pokemon.

Mankey: The manly monkey.

Primape: How does it learn iron tail without having a tail?(especially if the primape's female?)

Growlithe: Baby's first doggo.

Arcane: The rejected legendary.

Poliwag: Just a round boi.

Polywhirl: Congratulations, you can finally hold things.

Polywrath: Why are you so pissed, man?

Abra: The teleporting troll.

Kadabra: the fact that they used to be a human has very disturbing implications.

Alakazam: The perfect pokemon to eat icecream with.

Machop: Why does it have chest gills?

Machoke: It pisses me off that pokemon like delphox and meowscarada get demonized for being "too humanoid" when this fucker exist!

Machamp: Why does it look like it's wearing briefs?

Bellsprout: Its head sure does look like a bell.

Weepinbell: One of many gen one poison/grass types.

Victreebel: Remember, Victreebel walked so guzzlord could run.

Tentacool: Funny, you're actually not cool at all.

Tentacruel: That name makes more sense.

Geodude: I was gonna say "baby's first rock monster" but that joke has already been used twice.

Graveler: Why did you grow an extra set of arms, only to ditch them once you evolve!?

Golem: Why do you have a lizard face all of a sudden?

Ponyta: Imagine your kid wanting a horse for either their birthday or Christmas and the only option is one that would burn the house down.

Rapidash: You want me to ride on its back!? Yeah, I'll just take the bus.

Slowpoke: No thoughts, head empty.

Slowbro: I can't get over the fact that it's constantly being bitten.

Magnemite: This should've been a gen two pokemon so it could've been a steel type from the beginning.

Magnaton: It's Dugtrio all over again!

Farfetche'd: Was the apostrophe really necessary?

Doduo: "Cause you know two heads are better than one"

Dodrio: They're just a bird version of Cerberus.

Seel and Dewgong: And the award for the least creative pokemon names goes to...these losers!

Grimer: I heard this thing eats sewage.🤢

Muk: It has an unfortunate backwards name.

Shellder: Why is its tounge all ways out?

Cloyster: They knew what they were doing when they paired it with an onix.

Gastly: Our first ghost type was a ball of gas, really?

Hanter: There really isn't anything to roast with this pokemon.

Gengar: You look more like a scrapped grimace design than an actual ghost.(definitely getting death threats for that)

Onix: Pikachu winning against Brock's onix using water sprinklers was a total ass pull!

Drowzee: Mikey's favorite pokemon.

Hyno: They got a lemon for a nose.

Krabby: Mmmmm, crab legs.....

Kingler: If only that kingler curry wasn't exclusive to Japan.

Voltorb: The bomb pokemon.

Electrode: The laziest design.(tied with pawmo)

Exeggcute: Nothing cute about this pokemon.

Exeggutor: I know they're seeds, but how do egg looking seeds evolve into a palm tree!?

Cubone and Marowak: Why would you make a pokemon who's whole gimmick is having a dead mother, you monster!?

Hitmonlee: I have no mouth and I must scream!

Hitmonchan: It does look like it's wearing a dress.(and an ugly dress at that)

Lickitung: In Japan, this is the innuendo pokemon and not bellsprout.

Koffing and Weezing: It's been three years since the pandemic and I still don't think talking about them is tasteful.

Rhyhorn: Again, I'll take the bus.

Rhydon: The first ever pokemon.(created by the developers that is)

Chansey: Stop letting people eat your babies!

Tangela: The only pure grass type of gen one.

Kangaskhan: If the next region is based on Australia, then I hope we get a pokemon that actually looks like a kangaroo.

Horsea and Seadra: I can't roast seahorses.

Goldeen and Seaking: You're more of a collector's item than an actual pokemon.

Staryu and Starmie: Apparently, starfish come from outer space.

Mr.Mime: I read a dex entry about how it slaps people with its big hands and now all I can think of is that Will Smith meme but with Mr.Mime.

Syther: Or alakazam according to team rocket.

Jinx: Probably the most controversial pokemon in existence.

Electabuzz: Prepare to evolve into a very ugly pokemon in gen 4.

Magmar: They got a butt on their head.

Pinser: I can't get over their sideways mouth.

Tauros: Who put astrology into pokemon!?

Magikarp: Keeping using splash, and maybe we can win.

Gyarados: I think the only reason they're not dragon type is so they wouldn't be op.

Lapras: Can't roast perfection.

Ditto: The breeding slave pokemon.

Eevee: The best gimmick pokemon we've ever had.

Vaporeon: This pokemon has been forever ruined for me by a certain copypasta.

Jolteon: Raichu for dog lovers.

Flareon: Aka, Fluffier Eevee.

Porygon: I'm sorry that the pokemon company pinned all the blame on you instead of Pikachu.

Omantyte: This is your Lord? My Lord Lunala would destroy them.

Omastar: Again with the weird mouth.

Kabuto: The most forgettable gen one fossil.

Kabutops: One razor leaf, and you're dead.(again)

Areodactyl: Kid me would be over the moon if she knew there was a pterodactyl pokemon.

Snorlax: Oh look, a discord mod.

Articuno: One rock slide, and you're dead.

Zapdos: Those wings look like poorly cut paper.

Moltres: Who set their rubber chicken on fire!?

Dratini: You sure are teenie alright!

Dagonair: I just remembered that there's a type of lo mein called dragon noodles, while it was probably unintentional, I still thought that was a clever pun.

Dragonite: How can I roast something that's so friend shaped?

Mew and Mewtwo: Why does Mewtwo come before Mew in the pokedex even though Mew came first?

I'm actually gonna do Paldea next , so I can get to the good roasts before Sylveon.

[iregreteverythingpleasehelpme]

oh my goodness! I did not expect this to blow up so much! Thanks!

Now while i'm here... may as well rate all the gens...

(please note this is just my personal opinion, so don't pay too much mind if you don't agree. Also some of these are pretty biased, so emm... yeah.)

ALSO! I am not rating the remakes in this.

Gen 1(blue/yellow) A classic, the beginning of it all. Pokemon are memorable, gameplay is kinda hard(for me at least haha), I haven't beaten elite four yet cuz I got lost in victory road without an escape rope(I know, I was being stupid). Music is good and probably most memorable, some sprite work is a wee bit wonky but tbh I probably couldn't do much better. Gameplay got a bit boring at times, but I also have literally no attention span. Yellow was probably the best. I liked my lil chonky pikachu. 7/10

Gen 2(gold/crystal): I don't really remember much from my attempted playthrough since it's been a while since i've last played it(note, I didn't get past the 6th gym leader because back when I played it I was kinda lazy so I refused to level up and train my pokemon.), but i'm gonna try to rate it anyway. I like the features they introduced like pokemon breeding, shinies, and the phone(useless but I love it anyway) Good legendaries and characters but I do not like the level scaling(at least I think thats what its called) for the gym leaders, wild pokemon and elite four(even though I didn't beat it, I still tried to do some research). Love the fact they included all of Kanto in the postgame, I wish they would make better postgames for modern games. 6/10

Gen 3(sapphire): The first Pokemon game I played was sapphire! Love the characters, some of the pokemon and the level scaling(or curve? I still can't remember what the correct term is) is pretty good. Sprite work is cute and I like the story. I have not beaten Sapphire yet because a year or so ago my brother deleted my save file(I was at the elite four) and I was pretty bummed so I did not play it for a while, but I recently made a new save and I am going to beat it soon! Right now I am about to fight Winona. Music is definitely second most memorable, absolutely love those trumpet-y bangers of town themes. Love the introduction of pokemon contests, postgame from what I've heard is pretty good too. Hoenn as a region itself is probably a 7.8/10, too much water, but the games themselves? 9/10

Gen 4(platinum): Love these games. First pokemon game I actually beat was platinum. Nice characters, great story, super fun pokemon contests, best legendaries by far, fun, good postgame and something I have not seen in a long time(personally) in pokemon, MEMORABLE BATTLES! I will never forget that final moment in battle when I finally had made it, and beat Cynthia. I was shaking, after grinding for hours and so many failed attempts at beating the elite four, after hearing that intimidating theme song, I will always remember it! I will also remember the battle against Giratina, I had bought over 100 ultra balls for that battle(I wanted the masterball for a post game legendary) and It took many resets before I could catch her. But it was amazing! Gen 4 has some of the best games(especially hggs, but i'm not going over that today)so i'm rating it... 10/10

Gen 5: I have not played much of gen 5 since I am waiting until I get a physical copy before I go more into it(I tried an emulator, but playing the real games always hits different), so I will update once my copy has arrived(It's in the mail!) and I have beaten it. However, from what I have seen and heard about it, it seems amazing. I am automatically giving it a high rating because I love the character design, lore, agencyshipping, Nintendo DS sprite work(best sprite work in the history of pokemon)N and Pidove. I also enjoyed the black and white pokemon anime when I was younger. 11/10

Gen 6: Haven't played it, I want to someday but I can't find an emulator and I don't own a 2ds or 3ds. All I know about it is it introduced pokemon amie, mega evolutions, was the first 3D pokemon game and apparently had issues with the shared exp system(just from what my friends have told me). I was a huge fan of the X and Y anime when I was younger and me and my siblings would pretend to be ash and other trainers from it haha. I like the pokespe arc though, pretty good. Since I haven't played X or Y, I am gonna base this off how much I enjoyed the anime when I was younger and how much I like the pokespe arc. 8/10

Gen 7: Haven't played it either but I really want to, unfortunately until find a way to emulate it somewhere or afford a 3ds, I won't be able to play it. I like some of the pokemon and character designs. It looks like fun, but I also will be rating this based off the anime since I know nothing about it. 5/10 only because when I was younger I was disgusted by the anime. The games look really good though. Hope I can play one of them someday!

Gen 8(sword): Thank goodness im almost done. For me I liked the graphics, and that I could change my characters clothes. Sword was the first 3D pokemon game i played. I thought the 3D aspect was cool, me and my family loved the fact Galar is based off Scotland(we are scottish), however the champion battle kinda disappointed me. Leon was kinda hyped up a bit too much considering I one-shot most of his team. The battles leading up to him weren't really challenging either, and especially since after just finishing platinum, sword really felt like a walk in the park. It was a nice walk in the park though, I enjoyed it. I really liked the camping feature and that I could make curry. I was so very disappointed by the post game though. There's some stuff to do, but unless you enjoy something like pokemon breeding or competitive battling then there's not much to do other than get some more legendaries, buy stuff and complete your pokedex(unless you have the dlc.) Overall, 7/10. Lots of stupid memes and headcanons came out of swsh so...

Gen 9(scarlet): Scarlet was good, could have been so much better though. I like the open world feature, but the fps is so low I feel like i am trying to run a minecraft server on an N64, but slower.(sorry that might have been a little too harsh,) Nintendo literally released a half finished game. I love the concept. I do not like the execution. Also, the textures for the mountains look like they are just copy pasted out of ocarina of time or something. They also should have made the gym leaders not in a specific order? Like if its open world, shouldn't they not have a specific order?? I had no idea about this when first played and I ended up fighting the 4th gym leader first, 8th gym leader sixth and 1st gym leader last. I forget about the rest, but it's kinda funny imagining me walking in with my level 60+ team going into this poor little bug gym and sweeping the leader. Despite all this, the main problem with scarlet and violet are the battles, they are not really memorable, or significant, like I don't really get this warm feeling of satisfaction and pride thinking about when I beat scarlet, not like the feeling I get thinking about the battles in Sapphire or Platinum. Even Sword had more satisfactory and strugglesome battles than scarlet. I would talk about Geeta being too weak and too hyped up throughout the game(I one shot half her team), but everybody has already heard all of the Geeta slander by now, so i'm just going to end it by saying, post game was better than sword, still a little eh without the dlc but relatively good, and my favourite part of scarlet is that I can make the most horrific sandwiches known to mankind in this game. All that being said, I really liked scarlet, I just think Game Freak needs to stop rushing pokemon games and releasing them half finished. I am willing to wait another year as long as it's done(also, it gives Hidenori Kusaka and Satoshi Yamamoto more time to work on new pokespe chapters!! Give them a break, they just got back off hiatus, don't rush them!) For scarlet, i'll give it a 7/10. Only because I don't want this game only to be remembered by poor graphics, but by the horrific sandwiches i made, so i am removing the graphics and low fps from my final rating(however the Geeta battle did take it down from 8 point to 7. I'm sorry but she's so disappointing.

TLDR, Gen 5, 4 and 3 are my favourites.

March 3rd, 2021- Arrivals

Station seven, ??? (Invdia base? Maybe?):

(plan notes: well, here’s hoping the device works as you understood. And also that no one shots you.)

-there is technically a stop at the jail, but Sora doesn’t count it, as she’s there only for a second.

-The device she found, it’s odd, and she has no idea how it works, but she has coordinates and that’s all that’s important.

-There’s a quick stop to figure out what this coordinates mean, but it’s fast enough and soon enough she’s where she hopes is the Invdia base, feeling like she’s about to vomit when she knocks on the door.

(You can’t turn back now, Sora. You went too far.)

Station eight, Invdia base:

(plan notes: don’t die)

*Sora knocks on the door that she hopes is the Invdia base.*

Sora: Hello?

*She doesn’t receive an apparent answer… however, a swarm of small devices begin to seep through the cracks in the door.*

*Sora takes a step back. *

Sora: Is this the Invdia base? I’d like to join.

???: Stand still. *The Nerada begin to surround her*

*Sora freezes in place*

Sora: You do realize that tiny robots surrounding you is creepy, right?

???: Shut up, and stand still.

*Sora obeys, though she slightly pouts as she does so. She doesn’t mean to be rebellious, not so fast, but she can’t stop herself completely.*

*After a few minutes, the Nerada retract, and a male voice speaks.* Drop your phone on the ground and step on it until it breaks.

Sora: Really? I just bought this thing. Man, Dami is going to kill me. *She places her phone on the ground and steps on it.*  Can you actually do break it? It’s a brick, I’m not sure it can break.

*The Nerada come back out and swarm over the phone, and when they retract, it’s been destroyed.*

Sora: Welp, he is definitely going to kill me, given I gave him that number. Anything else you need me to do, Mister?….Miss? Miks? It’s very hard to tell which gender robots identify as, most of the time.

???: You can enter.

*Sora enters, spinning a hair with her finger. It was ages since she walked around with her hair lose like this.*

*She almost walks right into the tip of a crossbow bolt, as an older woman who she guesses to be around her mid 20s is pointing it right at her face. Other people in the room are a young blond man who looks away from Sora, disinterested, and a dark haired man of around the same age who regards her with mild curiosity*

Sora: *Sora pauses* Oh, sorry! Do you always aim crossbows at people like this? This can get very dangerous.

Cate: No shit. You’re what, 13? Why the hell are you here kid?

Sora: I’m four-dammit, fifteen. I keep  forgetting. And I’m here because… well, because I don’t want people to hurt my family.

Cate: I can get that. But I’m sorry, we’re not in the buisness of putting minors at risk. *She retracts the crossbow.* We’re here to keep families safe, kid, not make them watch when some sick freak gets his hands on their little girl.

Sora: I can’t keep them safe from home, and… I can fight for myself! I have a knife and I can use it. *She laughs, a little mockingly. * Dad would probably be proud. He was doing the same in my age.

Ryouko: Sora? *She’s entered the room through a door, and is standing there, shocked.*

*Sora waves to her*

Sora: I have a present for you! *She searches her bag to pull the picture Mitsuru wrote on, one of him holding the baby Mitsuru*, Congratulations, you are a big sister. Please tell this lady I can join Invdia! It’s not like my dad would be mad!

Cate: You know-

Ryouko: It’s a long story that I will explain, if you’ll just give me a minute�� *she pulls Sora into another room* What the hell are you doing here?

Sora: *she yells to Cate* I’m going to marry her brother one day! *and then back to Ryoko* I’m going to keep them safe, because I currently have zero trust in you. Isn’t it obvious?

*Ryouko puts her head in her hands* Oh my god… your plan is even worse than mine..

Sora: I let some people know the general idea of what I’m doing before coming here. And I don’t have a baby brother to take care of. So no, I think my plan is still better.

Ryouko: You’re also a fifteen year old throwing yourself into a situation where it’s highly likely you’re going to have to either kill someone or get killed yourself, either by some maniac that Crane thinks we can take or… *she hesitates, but the implication is clear. Ryouko doesn’t trust that other members of Invidia won’t hurt or kill Sora.*

Sora: Aren’t you like five? *she understands what Ryoko means, she actually does, but she is trying to not think about it because she doesn’t want to regret. * I am not going away, Ryoko. I can kill jerks. I am fine with that. *she is trying to convince herself in that too*

Ryouko: Are you? Are you really, Sora? Because I sure as hell am not.

Sora: Already helped to kill one, remember? And… if so, why the fuck are you even here? Just take your boyfriend and go home.

*Ryouko wordlessly holds up her phone, and Sora sees a long list of audio files dating back a good few months.*

Sora: If you planned to turn them to the police you’d have done so months ago. I am not stupid, Ryoko.

Ryouko: I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff Crane does, but there’s no denying that the police are useless. But there’s more here than just a vigilante group wanting to take down criminals for the sake of justice. I don’t trust Crane in the slightest, and I’m pretty sure there’s something bigger that she and the blond guy are cooking up. Do you know that they’re both related to Maverick?

Sora: I didn’t know their names up until three minutes ago, who would I know who they are related to? And didn’t he murder most of his family? I thought I read something about that once, but this may have not been the case here… Or I might just be remembering wrong, honestly.

Ryouko: Exactly. So I’ve got to wonder why the hell they’re still alive. Not to mention… she wasn’t in the room but Alyssa is here. She knows who you are. Sly and I didn’t bother with any sort of cover so she didn’t have that to leverage over us, but you…

Sora: Did anyone actually ever tell her my real name? It’s not like I actually talked to her…. ever… she kind of scares me.

Ryouko: I don’t know. And honestly, she scares everyone… *she sighs* I’m not gonna be able to talk you out of this, am I?

Sora: Duh. I’m too stubborn for my own good… this were your words, by the way. Future-you, anyways.

*Ryouko sighs* Just… let’s keep the exact details about our family a secret, yeah? Especially the whole time travel stuff.

Sora: Never planned on this. Don’t worry.

*The pair exit the room*

Cate: Gonna marry your brother, huh?

Ryouko: So she thinks.

Sora: I’m working on it!

Cate: Look, I can’t say I’m a massive fan of letting a kid into this group-

Kyokuna: You let Alyssa in.

Cate: She’s an exception. But… you are eager, and you found us…

Sora: So, am I allowed in your little organization?

Cate: Don’t expect much in the way of going out and getting too involved with taking down bad guys. At least for now, you’ll be in a mission control type role. out of danger.

Sora: *she pouts a little, but sighs* Fine. But I want that in the record that I have had more weapon training than most adults and definitely more than Ryoko.

Cate: And you’re still a kid.

Sora: Aren’t you the group that lets a nine year old to go to missions?

Cate: Like I said, Alyssa’s an exception.

Sora: This is bullshit, but I do want to be here and help, so fine, I guess. Again, for the record, I’m probably more qualified than Ryoko and have a 3 dimensional eye sight, but that’s your choice. *she is now  arguing for the principal of it, really. she doen’t like being treated like a kid.*

Cate: I’m sure. Don’t get too comfortable though, policy is whenever someone new finds us we move out within a couple hours.

Sora: Sounds like fun. But really, can I get a phone or something to tell my cousin no one shot me? He kept bringing this idea up. Just… So he won’t worry much?

Ryouko: I vouch for her, she won’t give any details about where we are or who she’s with.

*Cate thinks for a moment.* You can, but I want to be right by you to listen to your call.

Sora: sounds okay with me.

*Cate goes digging in a nearby bag and pulls out a burner phone, handing it to Sora.*

*Sora closes her eyes for a moment, and after a moment of thought, calls. *

Sora: Mitsi?

Mitsuru: SORA?! Where are you?!

Sora: I can’t tell you that, and even if I could we’re moving soon. But I wanted to let you know I am okay, and breathing, and no one shot me or anything of this sort.

Mitsuru: I…I can tell. Otherwise, I’d wonder if I’d forgotten when I carried out a summoning ritual’ .

Sora: You say this as if these don’t work. But I’m here, and they are not going to let me do anything, so you don’t need to worry about that, and can you please grab damian from his shoulders and tilt him a lot of he buries himself in work again?

Mitsuru: First things first, are you hurt at all?

Sora: No. I swear, I’m completely fine. Nothing happend.

Mitsuru: What about Invidia?

Sora: I found them. She’s here. I’m still mad at her as a concept. There are other pepole here, but I was specifically was told to not give any details about them.

Mitsuru: Did you find my sister?

Sora: …who did you think I meant when I said she literally a second ago? Because Kaede isn’t here, I can promise that.

Mitsuru: How is she? Do you know?

Sora: she seems fine, as much as I could tell. She is definitely in an okay physical shape.

Mitsuru: Where is she? Where are you?

Sora: She’s right across the room from me, in the place I already told you I can’t tell you where is. I think. Did I not tell you that?

Mitsuru: Why not?

Sora: first, because you will absolutely rat me to m-miss Naomi, won’t you? She currently has better things to do then to go chasing me. second, because I was specifically told that I can’t tell you that.

Mitsuru: By who? You need to get out of there ASAP!

Sora: Mitsi, my cute boyfriend, I told you I was going to do this. I’ve joined Invdia, and one of the terms for this phone call was that I wouldn’t talk about where I am or who is here. So please, just drop it.

Mitsuru: You’re….so insufferable sometimes.

Sora: You have known me for fifteen years? Is it the first time you realized it? How?

Mitsuru: *Sigh* Just…get everyone back here, please. And don’t die.

Sora: I told you, I will keep everyone safe. *she sighs.* I love you, Mitsi. Tell Damian that the phone number I gave him wouldn’t work, my device broke. Have a good day.

Mitsuru: I will. I love you too, Sora. Don’t do anything stupid. Please.

Sora: will do my best, but no promises. *she blows him a kiss*

Mitsuru: *Reluctantly, once she hangs up, he does so as well, sighing*

*Sora hands Cate the phone back, sighing.*

*Cate nods, then turns to the group.* Like I said before. Everyone pack up and get moving, we’re leaving in ninety minutes!

[voicefromthecorner]

Oh my gosh. I always liked the idea that Neku would go on to ironically call Mr Mew a piggy just to wind up Shiki, but what I'm getting from this is that not only does Neku still unironically think of Mr Mew as a pig, but he's the only one that just refuses to acknowledge him as a cat!

On the one hand, it has kind of an "unchanging sitcom character" vibe that just feels a bit lazy to me and at odds with how real these characters can feel, but on the other hand, it's darn entertaining!

I am also gonna go ahead and doubt that Shiki's involved in the game, partly because of the whole real self thing and her true form not having sprites. But also while I don't know why Mr Mew was in that vision, I'm willing to bet Shiki somehow has nothing to do with it. Something else is afoot.

See, Coco gets it. This game is purely set up for Neku and Beat - they're the targets here. I'm guessing we're not going to be seeing any other players around at all.

This is so intriguing!

So I don't have screenshots available yet, but I just spent the past four days playing Animal Crossing to transform my new island into a FNAF paradise.

I'm trying to unlock everything as quickly as possible, so naturally I'm using time travel. I set the Switch to March 2020 because I had no idea how much time traveling I was going to be doing, and I wanted to be safe.

My player character is Mike, naturally. I've experimented a little with his appearance, and I did think about giving him purple skin and pink eyes, but for now I'm think I'm just gonna stick with brown hair and blue eyes. Also... you guys ever find it funny that Mike has blue eyes just like Freddy? And his sprite has brown hair, like how Classic Freddy has brown fur?

So far, Mike's house has three rooms. I'm trying to pay off his current 500,000 Bell debt to Tom because I'm already out of room for items. My problem is that I REALLY like playing dress-up in Animal Crossing, so I spend a lot of Bells on cute clothes. My dudes, I found a vibrant purple tuxedo for Mike to wear if he ever felt like dressing up as his father. The fashion in this game makes me stim.

I'm also trying to design t-shirts and hats at Able Sisters. The idea is that Fazville is a Fazbear Entertainment location on a remote island, and the villagers who live there are animatronics. I don't have every islander I want yet, as most of them were random, but I'm working on it. I already have two of my dream villagers for this island, so...!

My first two villagers, which I have no control over, were Agnes (Pig, Sisterly) and Rowan (Tiger, Jock). I actually had Rowan on my first island at one point, so it was kinda cool to see him again. It's also neat that I got a pig and a tiger. We now have representatives for Pigpatch and Tiger Rock on the island!

The third villager was my choice, and I kinda cheated a little... I decided to bring a cat to the island because of Five Nights at Candy's, right? I chose the ugliest cat villager, Tabby (Peppy)! She's ugly, and I love her, and I hate her, and I needed to know what it was like to have her on my island. It's... it's not good, my dudes. Her favorite colors don't come in many cute options as far as buying her presents. But I'm not letting her move yet. I'm not done arranging everyone's houses to my liking. When I'm finished, then she can leave.

The fourth villager was Benedict the Lazy Chicken. An Eggs Benedict reference, and he's a chicken like Chica. HE'S PERFECT! Technically one of my dream villagers, though on a tier slightly less than the other dream villager I got. Unfortunately, there are no Peppy Chickens in this game, or else I would have chosen one of them. The only other chicken I'll accept at this point is Ava (Normal) who's as close to Chica in personality as I'm gonna get in Chickens. The choice in chicken villagers in this game is abysmal.

Number five was an autofill, Annalisa the Normal Anteater, who I would have loved on my main island but WHY AN ANTEATER? There are no anteater characters in FNAF!

Sadly, the sixth villager was ALSO an anteater, and he was apparently mandatory to completing the first leap of the game? It's Olaf, a Smug villager with amazing hair and a love for the colors red and black... so, you know, he's awesome.

Number seven was Pekoe (Cub, Normal) and until further notice, she's our Freddy representative. I even gave her a Red Mini Top Hat for her to wear. I will not be giving her more hats. I'm gonna need another Vibrant Tuxedo in red for her!

Number eight was an autofill, and it's... Octavian the Cranky Octopus! I forget if there was an octopus animatronic in the books or not. I might be imagining that, but... hey. I love Cranky villagers, I love octopuses, so I'm not exactly complaining. His house is space-themed, like he's an alien! Do you guys think that, if aliens really existed in the FNAF universe, Glamrock Freddy would be scared? Or excited? Or BOTH??? Ahem... sorry.

Number nine was a tiny let-down because I accidentally missed out on a rare Gator villager (aka Alligator Villager, aka Croc Villager)... specifically, DRAGO. I missed out on Drago, the only dragon in the game. FRICK. But I did get someone almost as cool... Alli, the Snooty Gator. I love her, I love her sass, her makeup, and the fact she has the same name as my older sister (Allison).

Number ten was one of my dream villagers for this island, Whitney the Snooty Wolf. She's a white wolf, so she can represent Funtime Foxy and Roxanne Wolf... since, you know, there aren't any Fox villagers in this game. Wolves, yes. Foxes, no. Only one Fox character exists and it's Jolly Redd, formerly "Crazy Redd". I WANT FOX VILLAGERS! I LOVE REDD SO MUCH! Anyway... I used an Amiibo card to invite Whitney to the island, and though there was some confusion at first, I was so happy when I finally figured out what I was doing and got her to come to my island! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

I'm sorry for the enormous pictures, got em straight from the Animal Crossing wiki so you can all see my beautiful children. Will provide more updates on them soon, hopefully with screenshots next time.

My mom gave me her old Nintendo Switch. I'm gonna use it to give myself a second Animal Crossing: New Horizons island and make it FNAF-themed. I already have plans of which villagers I want and everything! Wish me luck, guys! I may post screenshots when I'm ready.
