[foreverephemeral-art]

but this time it's different because I drew him in worldbox

the final piece is slightly edited with some colour-correction to make the whole thing more readable. the purple used for the eyes and rot is actually possible in-game by placing entities assigned to a purple civilisation! however the way I set up the rest of the colours, that would have been extremely tedious to do so I just edited it in afterwards

I might do this again sometime but it's such a slow process I don't know if I'll be bothered lol

I got a MTM Barbie, so I could switch my HRR06's head sculpt on to it. However, I wanted to try the head sculpt on my World Box AT0203 body first. I was a bit fearful, that I would love the head sculpt on that body, because then I would have to get a second one... and I do! I love the proportions of this body better, and the color match is pretty much perfect to the pale WB body. The only issue now, is that I'll have to get another body because this one belongs to my Very Cool Miss Spetsnaz 1:6 female head sculpt. I don't mind switching heads on my larger figures/dolls to share bodies, but I don't want that for my smaller ones. More so if I want to display them (which I don't really want to ever do with my giant, heavy resin BJD). That's what I want for my tinier figures/dolls, so I need to get a second one for this head sculpt. I am not a huge fan of the MtM Barbie body, the tinier (than regular Barbie) feet bother me quite a lot. I also don't love Barbie's giant headedness in general, but I don't mind it too much on this doll, because she has a stunning face! DX

I got the MtM Barbie for a lot less than retail, so I don't mind just keeping it in-box. I don't own any clothes, nor have I sewn anything for the World Box body yet, so I just wrapped the body in pieces of PVC material I have stashed in my "maybe-i-can-use-this-somehow" pieces of scrap fabrics. I'm lazy, I could have made a quick set of undies. However, I am excited to make some clothes for this girl, once I get her a body of her own. It's going to be a pain in the gut finding one for what it originally retailed for, when tje body originally released last year. T__T;;

The head is a little large on the body, since the body is an actual 1:6 scale (action figure) body, and Barbie is not even close to those proportions, but I don't mind it too much. I do wish Barbie (as a doll line) got a smaller head, but I won't be holding my breath for that to happen, ever!

Land of Cipher

Made in WorldBox

[baudshaw]

Creating the Sky world in WorldBox (a fantasy sandbox empire building game) has been crazy

Year 20 vs Year 538.

Here are the main empires:

Assembly Empire, run by Assembly Guide the 18th

Cosmic Isle Empire, which used to be the Isle Republic before the Ushering Stargazer took things over

Eden-Vault, now controlled by Remembrance Guide the 10th.

And the Void Kingdom, which just cycles through various Ancient Memories.

There’s also the minor nations of Crescent Oasis, Passage Republic, Belonging Corporation, Prairie Peaks, and the Abyss Empire (run by Frantic Stagehand’s great-grandchild).

If you want more details, let me know!

What is the smallest frog you've found?

Probably the ones from Worldbox!

It's Fictional Throwdown Friday!

This Week's Fighters...

Chara vs God!

Conditions:

Post Genocide Route Chara.

Scenario:

After Chara and the Player destroy the Undertale universe, they move on to the next world to keep destroying and becoming stronger. They come across the WorldBox reality, where God tries to stop them.

Analysis: Chara

The year was 20XX. It had been XX years since the monsters and humans went to war. Monsterkind had become little more than a fading memory in human history, having been sealed away deep beneath Mt. Ebott. For the first time in forever, a human set foot on the mountain and fell into the Underground. For the first time in years, a human had come face to face with monsters.

The Dreemurrs, the royal family of the Underground, took the child in and raised them as their own. Chara, the first fallen human... did not come to the mountain for a happy reason. For reasons they would never say, Chara hated humanity. It was possible, even likely, that the Dreemurrs were the first loving family that they'd ever had.

So, in a misguided effort to free their new people, Chara roped their adopted brother Asriel into a plan. Chara would kill themself by eating golden buttercup flowers, slowly and painfully dying day by day in a brutal poisoning so that Asriel could absorb its soul and cross the barrier keeping monsters underground. Once there, Asriel would use his god-like power to slaughter humans and steal their souls, all to gain enough power to destroy the barrier and free monsterkind. Asriel refused, simply dropping Chara's body off at their village, where he was slaughtered, kickstarting the second war between humans and monsters.

Chara would be revived, in a sense, when Frisk, the eighth and final human, fell into the Underground. Chara would seemingly serve as their narrator throughout their journey, passively observing Frisk's quest to escape the Underground on most routes. Except for one. Should the Player choose to slaughter every last living being in the Underground, Chara will.... change...

Chara will inadvertently absorb the Player's power as they get stronger and stronger, losing all semblance of humanity, morality, and compassion as the Player teaches them the language of violence. Chara becomes your Execution Points. Chara becomes your Levels of Violence. Chara becomes the power you get when you kill, the rush you feel as you grow stronger. Chara becomes the monster you made it, the demon that comes when you call its name.

Chara's first act in this new form is to destroy reality completely, leaving nothing but an empty void in the game's place. The world is gone. You've completed it. Beaten it. Milked it of all content. Move on to the next, partner.

If you ever want to go back, you'd have to reset the world completely. And The Demon will only allow you to do that if you give it something in exchange. The Player trades it Frisk's soul for the chance to replay the game again, do another run however they want. But you'll never be in control again. You've lost that right. And The Demon can from now on hijack your control of Frisk's body whenever they choose.

Given that Frisk is effectively bound to Chara's will in this ending, everything they can do is at its disposal. You have to get the Demon's permission to do a True Reset of a Genocide Run and they can hijack Frisk's body from your control and use all of their powers to their heart's content. With Frisk's DETERMINATION, the Demon can reset time, retry fights over and over as often as they need, and jump across timelines. The conversation with Goner Kid suggests that every individual FUN Value is its own seperate universe, giving the Undertale reality a hundred of timelines. Hundreds of timelines that Chara wipes out in one blow. And as the soulless, undead husk you've turned them into, Chara has none of Frisk's human limitations, able to absorb souls, possess bodies, and carry on as the disembodied consciousness narrating your journey. Even the Player, for all their power, for the transcendental power they hold over reality, cannot override Chara's newfound power. It will override Frisk's body and slaughter every friend you've made every time you ever try to forget what you did.

In your quest to see what would happen, you've turned a depressed child into a demon that lives only for violence. Let the numbers rise, let the blood flow, let us get stronger. This world is nothing but a game, so let us complete it together. Kill everything within, get as strong as possible, and move on to the next. No story, no heart, no context, only stats, only power, only stronger. Only DETERMINATION.

What's the matter, Partner? Aren't you proud of the ending you've earned? Aren't you proud of Your Best Friend?

Analysis: God

For all of its existence, humanity has asked itself one simple question. Why are we here? What being created us? And if a singular being did create us, what do we call them? What is God?

I can't pretend to have an answer to these questions, but I can hope that our God isn't a gamer. Because I've seen what happens when gamers play God.

Worldbox is not a story with a narrative. It is a World, that is a sandBox. Everything that exists within it is a doll for you, the Player, to play with, and the being that this world calls God is simply your avatar for making that happen. They are not an actual depiction of any religious interpretation of the Lord Almighty. Thankfully. I was skirting close enough to blasphemy with SMT, I don't need to tempt fate.

But even without biblical precedent, one would have to be packing some serious power to give themselves the title of God. And the Player has plenty of that to spare.

They can literally draw the landscape like it's Microsoft Paint, create life to the limit of their imagination, give rise to kingdoms and wars, before topping it all off by annihilating it all in one fell swoop. God can not only create mankind in the form of medieval kingdoms, but also freely edit their traits, personality, biological characteristics, and name, down to bestowing immortality, cursing beings to be weak and miserable, and even turning them into zombies.

God created and can manipulate the forces of nature, creating acid rain, blood rain, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. They can build up volcanoes and annihilate them just as easily, create forests and turn them into sentient life forms, and create nanotechnology to terraform the land to their will. This brings us to their remarkable ability to create technology generations more advanced than any seen in the world, from grey goo swarms to nuclear bombs to antimatter bombs that wipe continents from existence. Any fantastical creature, from dragons to robots, to orks and elves and zombies is theirs to create and alter, blessing them with superhuman strength, giant sizes, or superhuman speed.

The most dangerous creature in their arsenal would have to be the Avatar form they take when they choose to tear shit up themselves: Crabzilla. A towering giant monster crab that cannot be beaten by even the strongest of God's creations, more than capable of taking down dragons and wiping civilizations.

The Player can create entire universes, each with their own geographies and laws of physics, speed up and stop time, erase, create, and overwrite up to thirty worlds at once, and spin the entire Earth around on the tip of their finger. Because why not? This is a game with no rules, a sandbox without limit. If you can play the game a certain sadistic way... don't you kind of have to?

What happens when you give a gamer godhood and a sandbox to try it out in? Terror. Plan and simple terror. The world is their sandbox and you're just living in it.

Throwdown Theme:

Throwdown Breakdown:

Here we go, the game with no consequences vs the game the tries to give you consequences.

Now, to clarify one thing, John Worldbox is not literally the Player. Not in the way Undertale's Player is, anyways. Undertale is the game that acknowledges you digging through its save files, to the point of hiding Gaster lore in its decompiled code. Meanwhile, in Worldbox, there is, at least, the very bare bones of a setting that God is a character in. They don't view the world as fiction in the same way Undertale's Player does, because there's none of the required fourth wall breaking fuckery.

As such, Chara and the Player should be capable of actually fighting each other here. So let's begin.

This is very much a hax vs stats fight, with Chara's one hundred universe reality wiping edging out God's thirty universes cap fairly substantially. But, God has several ways of weakening this gap, cursing them with weakness, infecting them with diseases, and using alterations to their DNA to weaken Chara's host body Frisk. But, even with those limits in place, Chara still has the stats to fodderize any creature the Player can create, up to Crabzilla. While dragons and Crabzilla can survive mountain busting space lasers, that's small scale in the face of universe busters and would be a massive liability if anything due to giving the Demon more EXP to work with and making that stat gap even worse.

Time manipulation counters out, as both characters are immeasurable in speed and neither has the feats needed to effect the other with such methods. Chara can move even after reality has been reduced to a timeless empty void (and scales to Frisk, who can do the same against Flowey and Asriel), while God predates and created time itself. The Worldbox Player could attempt to negate the Demon's connection to Frisk by overriding its control of them, but Chara has overriden the control of the Undertale Player with ease, indicating they can do the same here.

The real thing that makes this contest Chara's game is the Worldbox Player's inability to erase something of their nature. While God has erased universes and even souls from existence, Chara is a bit more complicated than that. For one, Frisk's soul and DETERMINATION, which Chara literally owns, has been able to overcome attempted soul destruction and existence erasure, in particular from Asriel. Secondly, Chara's true nature is something more than just a ghost or soul....

Chara does not have a soul at this point. It did at one point, but that soul died with Asriel. If Chara's soul lingered in any way, Asgore would've used it to open the barrier, after all. Chara was a disembodied consciousness that latched onto Frisk in response to their DETERMINATION, but it mutates into something even more in the Genocide Route. Chara becomes your stats. Your LOVE. Your EXP. That's Chara. That's the Demon you turned them into. And the Player simply hasn't been shown to erase noncorporeal, almost abstract, beings that lack even a soul to destroy. Chara isn't a human or a monster anymore.... They're the Demon that comes when its name is called.

The Worldbox Player would provide an entertaining boss fight, before falling as yet more free EXP. In one hit, the Worldbox reality will be erased and it shall move on to the next. Chara seems to have a knack for giving Players their first taste of permanent consequences.

Man, the app worldbox is kinda fucked. I just watched a father kill his own son because they were on different sides of a rebellion. Before that, a plague happened in a kingdom in a cursed biome so whenever someone died, they came back as a skeleton and began attacking the living which led to a war between the living and the dead except the living had the plague and every second, someone would die and join the enemy. Last but not least, I saw a three year old get hunted like an animal because he was made ruler of a besieged city after all better candidates died.

And worst of all, I made all of that happen.

[suityy]

i’m gonna make a worldbox map of all demon landmass with one dude named fuckin doomguy and see how long he survives

[deepseamuse]

I can’t believe i came up with a (imo) genuinely neat and creepy concept for a horror story because of WorldBox of all things

For those of you who don’t know about WorldBox, that entire pink landmass? That’s alive, and it’s covered in countless creatures made of the same stuff that will attack and transform anything they can. Humanity is stuck on that much smaller island to the top left because just stepping on this thing is a guaranteed death sentence at this point. But at the same time, they are compelled to try again and again, even though any group sent across the ocean will only last a few seconds before they are consumed.

The thing is, they aren’t actually dead. Rather, they become the same as the monsters that killed them, an abomination of bubbling flesh that simply desires to grow. And they still have the exact same traits as they had before, even the ones that only affect the mind, so there is still some part of them that remains. Somewhere in there, they are still themselves, and yet they will attack their former friends and family without a thought.

So… yeah.

[shortleader0]

Worldbox is funny because right now I have a country whose motto is "forged by forgiveness". I know it's autogenerated but goddamn I watched these guys eradicate all dwarves and orcs from this world.

[toad-in-a-trenchcoat]

playing Worldbox and got so invested in the demons that I’m considering sending a rain of fire unto the kingdom whose people had killed my favorites

Round 2 Side A

[infinite-archive]

I need more ant colony games. Games where you just set a bunch of things down and then watch virtual ants roam around and interact in the world you created.

I need more WorldBox, I need more GMod Lambda Players. I want to watch factions rise and fall in the landmass I shaped, by my own divine hands, to be a penis because I thought it was funny.
