does anybody else feel like a lot of sso's features aren't fully implemented lately? for example the championship season pass thing, I think that was so hidden. for no reason. i've had multiple people tell me they didn't even know it existed until somebody told them about it. and that seems like such a big flaw for a timed event and brand new feature?? i also felt very thrown into the deep end with the collections lately. both gm bee's bees and erissa's dolls didn't tell you anything about what you had to do! i loved the stars, i adored the spiders, this would be right up my alley. but all the confusion ruins it for me! why doesnt sso tell us how many things we have to collect? what's the diary even for if they don't add the new collection quests to it? i loved it as a way to keep track of your progress and get hints of the areas of the collectables you're still missing. the way it is right now it just incentivizes looking up guides instead of trying :(
#star stable#star stable online#sso#ssoblr#starstable#is anybody else stressed out?#i shouldnt have to make lists for all the collections to keep track myself#right??#it makes it so hard to take your time with that stuff#also not knowing if its a quests you can take your time with or if you're gonna need it to continue the story line next update#ALSO the fact that you cant look up anything about it again!! after talking to bee once theres no way to get the instructions again#let alone MORE info if you need it??#thats basic game design#a quest - especially a long collection quest - should not vanish from the quest log after i start it#i should not be able to forget a quest if i dont play for a month!!

Meeting (Befriending?) Jevil
So much for an easy first fight.
#deltarune#jevil#frisk undertale#frisk#deltarune au#wyolfe#deltarune bt#dr bt#my art#frisk is basically playing dlc for a game they already beat and unfortunately for them the levels do scale.#you defeated the God of Hyper Death. you can handle a clown.#wait oh my god i could design hard mode versions of all the enemies. wait. hold on.#i wasnt going to do that but now i might.#anyway! Jevil's still the court jester in this au! he hasn't met the strange someone and gone (completely) bonkers!#still a few screws loose but thats just a requirement for being a jester.#Jevil is under the impression Spade King's recent behavior (like imprisoning the other kings) is a result of his bad mood#and that fixing that bad mood will fix the behavior... Sorta.#some part of Jevil is aware that that isnt really how this works but he doesnt know what else to do.#'entertain' is all he's ever done.

some traitor mags gijinka concept stuff (from the same creative effort as this post)
#kirby series#kirby gijinka#master crown monday#master crown#magolor#traitor magolor#technically this is AU content. or it was originally#i came up with some ideas for a fairytale/fantasy/fable au#basically what if triple deluxes aesthetic went on steroids and also applied to other games!#magolor is indeed based on the beast (as in beauty and the beast) but there isnt really a 1 to 1 for beauty#(yes ive been known to depict him smooching the science lady but id want her to be her own thing. maybe like. mulan or something?)#the crown itself i see as some sort of dragon/trickster demon archetype (just that this one was shoved into a hat)#that little imp/devil you know you do NOT want to set free but that will entice you anyway#this design has grown on me. i dont mind it for main universe traitor magolor#but it might be a little TOO far on the animalistic side. i dunno. i would want it to show a bit of the crowns influence creeping in...#and GENERALLY speaking i see the crowns aesthetic as leaning more toward demonic/angelic than traditionally beast-like#yet theres definitely a strong animalistic element to it as well#particularly with those big talons#but for example... fur. whiskers. thats magolors thing not the crown. THE CROWN IS NOT A FURRY!! /lh

little wardin e spurrit doodle for perplexplore. yay
#my singing monsters#msm#msm fanart#wardin e spurrit#spurrit#art#my art#both my wardin e spurrit hc design and my spurrit gijinka design#even though they are basically confirmed to be separate#which makes me think#wardin is still out there isnt he?#waow. thats kind of fucked#like hes implied to be still alive#but nobody has a fucking clue where he is#thats sad. i think#okay whatever this is a silly little game about silly little monsters singing and dancing and playing instruments#but its not my fault the game has incredibly deep and intricate lore for a mobile game#whatever! it is what it is#or whatever they say. mm

What would the shorts be in your AU? I think it be a live demonstration of how someone (Mr meteor) is integrated into the hivemind and how it's "safe" and "the right thing to do"- basically propaganda. but things keep messing up
wander's not like. super public with the cult the way hater is with his empire in the show, so i don't know whether he'd be airing something like that across the galaxy. hater's got like. totally negative charisma, especially when he's being recorded, and yet he continues recording himself, and i think that's a trait meteor would still share with him. mr meteor is very much like metroman of megamind to me, also, where he quits his life of fame & glory to become a nobody, but he still has that streak of like. craving the kind of attention a rockstar gets as opposed to the superhero/king treatment.
so i imagine the shorts would be like. meteor's vlogs on his youtube or something. and he's starting a series called Inside Planet Yonder or whatever where he sets up a camera in an unassuming place and does little dances for the camera until he gets caught. like a prank show or something, but very benign and mildly annoying as opposed to antagonistic. this does require the shorts to take place before wander is redeemed, but honestly, the timeline in this au is so scrambled when you try to put it up against the show itself (which is already crammed into two very short seasons) anyway
#ask#lord hater#mr meteor#swap wander#shorts#txt#rambling#wander over yonder#swap au#i fear if wander's cult was super public like that it would be too reminiscent of like. the sharing from animorphs#wander's really into like. person to person connection Despite his susceptibility to advertisements and trends. like in the show wander is#only famous by mistake and hearsay#he's just so niceys that people tend to remember him and talk about him fondly. as opposed to hater who is famous by his own design#and i think thats something meteor would pursue as well to a similar degree of success/failure depending on how you look at it#any press is good press i guess but he's like. particularly incompetent#also wander is kind of a little old man to me . like he can use technology but he also has a very basic understanding of most tech from#like the last hundred years or so. hand him a phone he'll be able to use it but he will also ask you increasingly bewildering questions#like How do i scroll. What is a Battery level. So this is like a book with extra steps right. Golly how do they fit all those#vidya games in such a small package! back in my day#anyway. sylvia is the tech girl of the duo like she fixes spaceships she can deal with computers like nothing ANNNNYway

what are u guys' dream game after sotm? since itll be the last game centered around the mimics backstory and integration and stuff (hopefully) theres basically a whole world of possibilities for currently neglected storylines lol
#my personal hope rn is a game including ggy and then the as dawko calls it 'security breach 2'#when i say including ggy i dont necessarily mean about like i rlly want vanny to be included if they do a game like that#but i also dont want a sotm esque ggy game where its copy and paste from the book#not only is that boring asf but i dont want the book as it is to be touched#the whole reason ggy is as good as it is is bc the author knows books and wrote it with a book in mind#not just to write something about fnaf#its formatted to be a good story in novel form not in game form#and it should be left alone#ily tony but u dont rlly need to be in the games#basically a ggy prequel including vanny heavily showing rabs design voice and dynamic with vanny#and how he got killed/gregory got freed#basically fleshing out the pre sb pizzaplex rab and vanny and glitchtrap era#and then the big campaign game like sb theyll probably do eventually about vanny cassie with gregory vanessa and freddy#id love if there was a reference to tony in the games like gregory mentions friends he used ti know#or ita just the basic idea of grappling with killing one of ur friends unwillingly and we connect the dots as bim talking abkut tiny#yknow#pandas.txt#pre sotm#thoughts#pre ggy game#ggy has to be made relevant soon bc of all those hints scott has been putting eveyrwhere#of mentioning ggy by name#that stuff is a huge deal he doesnt play around with secrets like how hes been treating those ggy hints#im so excited#i just hope it turns out good bc im so particular about ggy i dont want them to try and do the book but lame😭#any ggy content is a win but still theres a chance they could mess it up#like theyre doing with mimic#making a game completely centered around 2yo books that everyone already knows everything about already & its#in john fuhnaffs words 'copy and pasted'#like hello thats boring and lame

sorry to this man, but i don't think theres a big enough video game promo collector or even manhunt fan that's going to buy this at the made-up price it's set at just bc theres some shitty plastic on it. "factory sealed" items are like a parasite in the promo/game collecting sphere & it gauges prices so badddd
#$50 on shipping on an item thats basically $5000 is so crazy to me#$50 for shipping a shirt is crazy. shits gonna be extra packed with whatever box they have picked out#chat#i cant even justify myself buying the manhunt 2 promo shirts i want bc theyre literally avg $100 like.#so im just going to remake them when i start doing shirt designs n stuff next year#my opinion on sealed stuff like games and cds is that they should be opened. or they should have been opened#i feel like keeping stuff sealed is a weird hoarder/collector mentality that i don't mesh with#like oooooh look at me i didnt open this thing to look at or play or listen to for 20 years. give me 1000 dollars for it like HUH#the guy said ''this would look nice in a frame'' then you better do it urself gamer vault bc aint nobody else gonna buy it to do it 😂

first female loz director and the gerudo seem to be written fine enough? wow... there ain't no way I thought we were in the worst timeline after totk
Yeah got through the main quest with the gerudo, it wasn't painful! It wasn't even bad! Still got them outfits but for the most part it was like oh cool!
I would say a lot of that oh cool is from the fact they didn't do a lot to even fuck it up to begin with, I'm gonna be real with yall this game is NOT worth $60USD
Edit: lemme say one thing, you know when people were being like damn totk story wasn't dark or mature at all why was this compared to Majora's mask again? And then all the zeldatwt people came out and said zelda is just a kid series domt expect good writing uH
This one feels like a kid's game. That ain't to say it's terrible I would say, hell I'm not far in it if I get something crazy that's like OH FUCK I'll reblog this post and say something but uh.....game for babies I'm gonna be shocked if anyone struggles with any puzzles cuz you CAN CHEESE THEM EASY ITS 🫢🤭
EDIT EDIT: I SWEAR IM NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE A DOWNER..... @ezlo-x HAS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME IVE BEEN PLAYING....THEY KNOW I HAVENT BEEN A PARTY POOPER.....
#its......seems quick#the sidequests are very boring tbh#like this game should of been 45-50 max not 60#its cute i like it so far but oh my god the optimization and game design could of been way better#and after botw/totk like....how do i put this#its like nintendo heard hey we need a LITTLE bit of rail roading and then#😬#basically...example#for a main quest i have to go to 2 places to get people#i went to the 2nd place first and it......didnt update the side quest even though she should of gone to the meeting place#thTs apart of the quest but no i had to go to the 1st guy no matter what#and its like.....hey botw not totk would do that#most GAMES in general now wouldnt do something like that#also yall gonna hate the fact there is no organization or favorites tool for the echoes#game is fun so far but uH#i got through the first dungeon FAST FAST like this is not a return to form#minish cap dungeons i dont think were that fast and theyre simple#also anyone that says this dorsnt have mechanics from the wilds games yes it does#tri has an ability thats JUST ultra hand#oh and its not good in this game#yall gonna fucking hate it#unless somehow a pirated version doesnt allow you to rotate the fucking item or move it in a way that goes behind me#without me locking off and then back on again after repostioning myself#im worried its a feature and not an anti piracy measure#me and GC are gonna finish this up this week but dang i havent even done the whole first part of the main quest#if i had this on the switch i could see how fast i could play through the game WHILE talking to people and having fun and exploring#also oh my god the zora side quest very cute but when eveeyone knows how the game goes ill make one complaint in the tags one day#funny thing its not story....ITS GAMEPLAY#yhe story in the game is fine and i say that cuz its....very simple#HELL A LOT OF NPCS DONT GOT NAMES THAT ARE VISIBLE

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean
I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch
#goodbye volcano high#i dont have the money to buy it but god i need to watch a playthrough when i have time it's so interesting to me#like; the theme of 'yeah we're going die but that doesn't mean we can enjoy what time we have left' sounds amazing to me love that#its so funny i was actually watching a review of it that was basically 'this game sucks and here's why'#and then it just started listing off shit like- 'the characters designs are pastel they're nonbinary you die no matter what'#and then my neurons just went off and went '👁️👁️ oh! sounds amazing i want to see more'#fuck yeah pastel nonbinary dinosaurs lets go#well i think its just fang thats nonbinary and then two other trans characters#i saw a cutscene! and it was about the experiences of being an apart of a family as sec-gen immigrant and trans-#and i thought that was cool as hell dont recall ever seeing that in any of thr arts ive seen before (but there's lots of art out there!)#heard it got some glitches tho (havent looked in depth of what those glitches are) hopefully it got patched out#also im so fucking pissed i saw the gator game before i saw this 😮💨 (context; apparently made by people who made a fangame where they#the mc of this game a datable side character and they only have a happy ending if they detransition? which fucking yikes😬)#i saw people say 'oh but they did it empathetically' like how the fuck is taking a canon nb character and making them only happy through#detransitioning empathetic that sounds super fucking shitty and gross#i think a character that detransitions can be done and would be interesting to see- but this just reeks of people being transphobic for real#oh also purple dino has a slug or worm or something apparently! seems cute! just a lil thing#apparently its a rhythm game; listened to some of the songs and it sounded good! sadly i suck at rhythm games#but apparently failing doesn't affect the story? kinda wish it would but honestly better for me lol-#pink one and fang end up dating i believe- from what i saw pink is like- soft spoken artist? dunno if accurate but she's cute#all the characters are cute just look at them!!! awesome#also they have to just continue school like normal before they die and honestly thats so real#also saw people dislike the fact you dont see the characters actual die or the meteor#which is ??? dunno i just think some things are better left implied than shown-#anyways man i keep trying to find neat stuff about the game and all i see is people bitchin about it or praising the shit fan on instead 😔#man if i had two nickles for a time i grew to become obsessed with a media only for loads of people to hate id have two nickles#first nickle is kat elliot she's such a cool character Internet wasn't ready for her#also yes i saw obsessed i can just tell this is something ill go bonkers for#i mean god look how much text is in my tags for this already! and i still need to see the game in it's fullness!#im sure there's other cool shit

I know nothing about ur pokemon au tell me about Chuuyas team pls- i wanna know the poke-parallels between his team and Dazais
Ah!!! i'm glad you asked!!! :D
In this AU, Dazai is the strongest of Yokohama's Gym Leaders. He specializes in Ghost types! His team consists of a Dragapult, a houndstone, a spiritomb, a froslass, a mimikyu, and a lampent! here's so fun(debatable) facts about his team!
he used to be an admin for the Port Mafia, so he still has like. a big fat kill count. So that's where the Spiritomb comes from. yeah.
Dragapult is usually the one dragging dazai out of his attempts. It's been with him since even before Dazai joined the mafia, so it's his signature pokemon
His mimikyu likes playing with children. Dazai often leaves it with Kyouka and Kenji to play with whenever the gym leaders get together
Dazai found Lampent when he visited Lupin after Oda's death. It was hanging around the alleyway, and he decided to catch it.
froslass is always freezing him. yk like james in the pokemon anime with all of his pokemon. bc he's pathetic like that. Dazai caught froslass on a mission with Kunikida, shortly after becoming a Gym Leader. (yes this froslass is the nightmare of all of his challengers).
Chuuya tried so hard to convince Dazai to catch a Greavard. Dazai eventually relented, but only because he could name it chibi. eventually he got actually attached to it and evolved it to Houndstone
Chuuya, on the other hand, is still an admin for the Port Mafia
His team consists of flying types. This is because, as his brother Verlaine is French from Kalos, got Chuuya super into sky battles. he prefers sky battles, but he's obviously just as formidable in normal battles. In Chuuya's team he has a corviknight, a skarmory, a honchkrow, a mismagius, a talonflame, and an oricorio (sensu style)
Honchkrow is his signature pokemon! it's been with him since he was in the Sheep
the oricorio, believe it or not, is actually from Kouyou and not Dazai, despite the ghost typing. its usually the pokemon to drag chuuya away when he's overworking himself.
the talonflame was gift from Verlaine! yk. as an apology. for killing the flags. Chuuya raised it from an egg. Verlaine battles with it every once in a while to see how it's doing. the battle's just an excuse to spend time with his little brother though
Corviknight was a gift from Adam as well.
Mismagius used to be Dazai's, but he left Chuuya its pokeball when he left the mafia so its his now :P
Chuuya had to add skarmory to his team during the DHC but ended up bonding with it and now its a staple in his team
Back when they were in the mafia, soukoku were often paired up for double battles on missions.
#look man im all up for switching up the terminology so chuuya's an admin instead of an exec but i refuse to call the PM “team port”#also i know that in the games neither of them should have full teams but also have you considered: let me have my fun#i'll draw these two losers later im rlly busy rn but i wanted to post my thoughts (yes thats why im answering so late sorry!!!)#dont ask why chuuya's team is 4/6 just gifts from people hes a very sentimental guy okay#chuuya also takes care of the flags' pokemon but he doesnt use them in battle#dazai#chuuya#skk#soukoku#bungo stray pokemon au#idk what to call it so we're just going for a basic title ig#might add more details and their designs later

Recent game related things .. hrmm...
#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff#so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the#actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically#like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common#language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0#actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other#art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks#with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky#if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i#you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby#or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning#'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real#Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere#around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an#independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed#upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and#political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild#country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area#border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change#or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area#feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that#handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever#ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background#of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day#have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T#As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

I might be gettin more autistic over my proseka fan unit than my actual vn project . that is a wee bit of a problem
#i havent made ocs just for the sake of makin ocs in actual Years#all my ocs have been part of a bigger more serious narrative that i plan on (or hope to) turn into a game#i dont Have a lil guy to grab and think hmm lemme put him in situations. or perhaps a cute outfit#dont get me wrong my fan unit still got a big narrative they re workin w but they re much more slice of life cuz thats just how proseka is#l1f3l#and i can also take their designs less seriously if that makes sense. they re simple skinny anime boys the pinnacle of my comfort zone#maybe thats why i find them so relaxing to draw. i ve been rly pushing my bodies lately and drawing stuff im not good at#so its nice to just turn off my brain and draw some basic anime boys#in a way im tryin to stick to proseka s design principles bcs i know i ll draw them in the prsk artstyle soon enough#and i wanna make things easy for myself. i want this project to be fun and simple#mm i think ima download live2d tmrw..
