Yeah, I typically read the stuff that drifts in through archive.org and other channels like that. It's tough affording books with how expensive they are.

I have a library that's decent but it takes their holds system a million years to get anything.

Right now, the art is a little too finished to make dramatic changes to.

Technically shes like mid transformation so you could argue it looks weird in this one panel because of that.

My hope was for kinda like nipple fingers but that's also tough to convey.

Homestuck is really hard to get into.

Sometimes the web is weird since there's stuff I think is really popular and turns out to be obscure and then the opposite. Especially in the age of itch where everything can be a tempest in a teapot.

I think the world keeps moving regardless of what happens to you so that's a really apt description.

The writing in this game is weak so I'm hoping to help bridge that gap through the art.

Yeah, unfortunately the game is a lot less crunchy in the actual version.

I haven't figured out how to bridge that gap since social media is hard.

Yeah, this is my first time working with a fully modern engine in a long time so I'm still trying to figure out art.

I'm glad I kinda managed to get it right this time.

I'm glad I was able to convey my intent as an artist.

I try to sugarcoat pain in cute and I hope it works out.

it's easy and it gets easier by nilson unplugged

Please play "its easy and it gets easier".

It's a really beautiful game.

Goodnight also thank you for your advice it helped

thank you for real, like that was legit good feedback and idk

Ive been thinking a lot about bodies more as I try to draw them and theres so much that's automatic that we take for granted.

noooo aaaa no worries

I've struggled drawing body horror as an artist since its not familiar.

I am a terrible painter and like doing quick linework but aaaaa

also im really sleepy but thank you for being positive about the game.

I hope I can finish so you cant try it

making games is pretty neat, I like doing that

making games saved my life so idk, I think its as good a thing as any.

though im gonna sleep really soon

You were right, the jiggle really helped having them at sorta different paces.

For body horror it needs painting but it makes me miserable.

Please take care of yourself. I typically try to not boss people around on staying alive or dying but it'd fuck with me if you dropped dead so personally I hope you get better.

Please take care.

I can separate the hands from behind one still image to two pretty easily and give them different speeds slightly so I'll go do that now before I sleep.

I usually dont paint since im a slow painter but getting flesh effects properly is impossible to do with linework alone.

hmm, do tremors usually go by both hands?

I tend to shake full body but blarghhh

also im glad to see you're okay.

You stopped posting for a week so I got a little worried but I didnt want to bother you.

Oh her hands are like turning into lil penis nipples. They're not firsts.

As far as the framerate adjustment, the gif due to size limitations and me being bad at this stuff looks off from the actual game.

I cant explain it but it's a lil umm smoother in-engine.

Thank you, for now that's out of my current ability.

I'll think about if I can realistically find a easy way to add bg music.

Oddesu, you are the only other person I know who likes/has played corru.observer

I loved it when I played it last.

It feels like homestuck when homestuck was new. I mean that in the best way.

My brain is melting so I dont understand. :<

This is a prototype but close to what I'd like for final.

Feedback appreciated.

Oh god, I forgot to say the most important thing that happened to me recently.

So I got out of bed to say this:

I got my first 3ds streetpass of the year!!!!!!!!

Like in 2026!!!!

Okay im gonna sleep now

yeah, god I bet you could write a really good romance novel

okay im gonna go make my weekly tumblr post/replies and sleep since oterwise ill get socially jetlagged and my sleep will get messed up

Goodnight and I had fun

but lately ive been on this carl sagan kick and while his stuff isn't useful for gamedev it's so interesting.

Also im getting sleepy so I should wrap up and go make my weekly tumblr post and run offff but I had fun talking to you tonight

Yeah, I think this game what "essie" is kind of doesn't work for dating.

Her identity is too unstable in game literally.

I kind of want to write a game where an Essie is datable since I think Ichabod would be REALLY fun for that but im ranting.

I do need to brush up on my tarkovsky and bresson

That sounds really beautiful tbh.

I can't even imagine how that feels.

Like I can make friends but long term romantic stuff like idk no way even though I'd like to.

I think it's nice imagining someone just being there and not that loneliness.

like Tarkovsky, Bresson, and Hitchcock.

I think part of why this script hasnt been as good is I haven't gone back to those wells and have just been focused on "get anything out" but also it's weird and aaaa

Yeah, thats kind of the cool part about games is people are just like "AAAA IM GONNA PUT MYSELF IN YOUR MACHINE WORLD" and then you can play with them.

It's the same with books and other media too but games it's really strong.

HFTGOOM I got to do a lot of neat stuff with pyschology and directors

I don't want to split the thread into two replies but aaaa omg you got the true love thingy soulmate deal type thing.

AAAAAAA thats amazing

but aaaa idk it's complicated and O_O

Theres no real guide for what works kinda when you go off to idk weird land and aaaaa

It's tough since there's psychological papers and I read them and go like "omg I want to try this" im ranting and getting sleepy but aaaa
