I'm still working on drafting some creatures for a pokemon clone I'm thinking of making. This image has a venus flytrap kid, a beaver thing with a big maw and big fangs, but it's kind of stupid so it's charming, some kind of oni ghost bride, a couple attempts at drafting a guardian angel, a few attempts at making a sleepy android, and then a sumo wrestler.

doodling some monsters

roughing out some player characters

scribbling a rival type character

Trying to figure out how to draw mawile. this would probably be easier if i’d ever done that flour bag exercise that animators do

I'd have to put some free RPG Maker games I found on Steam like Journey to Luonto on there, or some PS2 games I found in the bargain bin like Herdy Gerdy and Goblin Commander.
I never played Cross Edge. I've gotta look into Idea Factory's early output some more; learn the true meaning of kusoge

nah you just gotta drip it out and sharpie over the eyes

gonna need to sit down and study fashion and different types of cloth at some point, probably. how hard could it be?

(it is at this point the Greek chorus chimes in to let you know that i am full of hubris and must be brought low for my transgressions)

scribbling. trying to iterate a bit but I think it still needs some more work

it's an interesting artifact to study because the whole thing feels like a middle-stage draft of an rpg, where the roughest sketch is something like journey to luonto and a draft before ancient roman might be something like quest 64. all the major beats have been sketched out but it's missing sinew

because ancient roman is like, fine, structurally, as a video game. the writing's slipshod and the visuals are amateurish, but the battle system and general progression are adequate enough and it's constantly introducing new environments, even if the execution ends up feeling like a rough draft.

yeah a lot of them look fine. i'm just trying to find some angle to go "by some flimsy metric, this game can be considered worse than ancient roman" to then maybe break that discussion out into evaluating the game as story or visual art versus the game as game, beyond just being "bad".
