Occasional Hylics Facts (Pastel Blue Sky)

i know this isnt a hylics fact in any capacity i just needed to get it off my chest

confession: i view gibby as basically being wayne's father so whenever i see people ship them i get really freaked out for a second

Oh, and Mason also gave us direct permission to share Shellhead a while back (which we asked about specifically since they got a redesign for H3) so I'm fairly certain this stuff is in the clear

Since Fishing Club is public now, decrypting RPGmaker games is obscenely easy, and Mason is fine with people discussing the internals of older games like H1, I think it's fairly safe!
If he reaches out and let's me know otherwise I'll take it down immediately. Always trying to be conscientious!

Armored Viewax bust. One of two pieces someone has commissioned me! #hylics

While we're here I may as well share some changed enemy names:
Ambulant Mass (final) - Ambulant Formation
Deep Wiggler - Deep Wiggly
Flying Jellyfish - Jumping Lung
Dude - Observer
Adversarial Form - Miniboss

The last unused enemy is Wumf. He's funny.

The Superstitious Pastiche, also programmed into Somsnosa under the name "Pastiche." Appeared in an unused "Sea Beasties" troop with the Superhuman/Merperson!

Mutant

Here's the Merperson, also programmed but unused in Somsnosa under the name "Superhuman."

It also appears as an unused "Cave Monster" sprite in Hylics and has been redesigned for Hylics 3.

Here's an alternate version of the Leviathan, which was slightly cut down in the finished version.

Here's the Handler

With the public release of Fishing Club, let's show off some unused enemy sprites! #hylics

First off, the Balloon Animal Partisan
This one is actually programmed but unused in Somsnosa!

she go nuclear on my leviathan until the club smells like fish

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
FISHING CLUB, SPIRITUAL PREDECESSOR TO SOMSNOSA AND #hylics HAS BEEN PUBLICLY RELEASED WITH MASON'S PERMISSION

THANK YOU ZEE!!!

HERE HE COMES

1ST ANNUAL INSTAR REVEAL DAY #HYLICS

Happy international Instar Day !!!!!
After way too long I finally gave him my own design.
#hylics

The spinning dash animation used in #hylics 2 is likely a reference to the flying animation used by the protagonist in Asmosnos, Mason's first game. Here's a side-by-side comparison!

moon some [unreleased, 2021] #hylics
i posted the full set (with a third art!) with some lore here apple-cores.tumblr.com/post/7732512...

Nearly a year ago, on January 30th, @s-for-sprinkles.bsky.social was allowed to reveal the full design of #hylics 2's cut character, Instar. These sprites were completely wiped from H2's files and had to be given by Mason directly.

Thus, January 30th is international Instar day!!

The first trailer for #hylics 2 shows Decres dancing with Old Wayne in what seems to be the Afterlife. This terrain was identified by @s-for-sprinkles.bsky.social as being here in the final game's Afterlife.

The shawl on Wayne's alternate costume, formerly known as "Decres," was actually hand-drawn.
From Mason in Hylicord, "I never figured out fabric simulation in Blender so I hand-drew the shawl on each frame. Maybe it's better in new Blender. Or I need to find some fashion design software."

This sprite is also substantially older, maybe a couple years older if memory serves properly. Could have also been a lack of experience making characters with isometric movement or a slight change in method/art style.

I never figured out fabric simulation in Blender so I hand-drew the shawl on each frame. Maybe it's better in new Blender. Or I need to find some fashion design software.

Personal headcanon of mine that the New Protag's outfit pattern is based on this dungeon floor in Somsnosa
