let's all go into mcdonalds and ask for the apex legends burger! the look on the cashier's face is going to be hilarious!

i probably have a skewed viewpoint because i outright refuse to ever touch any of them (and knowing how these companies work it's probably extremely obvious to people who do) but dating apps just seem like they're designed solely to instill the worst kind of social media desperation and insecurity

on it boss. i dont know who that is yet, i havent gotten that far, but on it boss

it can often end up a box-with-cheese trap - you're technically connecting the story with the game to show off a guy being cool or some badass thing happening but when someone sits back and asks if it's mainly expediting typically lengthy processes it's super hard to *not* notice when it is

i think a reason it tends to pop up a lot in some games is because it offers an easy way to narratively establish substantial beats without making the player question the pacing in the moment - like its easy to go 'if this guy bails out the party then he's justified his presence narratively in full'

like XC1 makes it that every boss that doesnt end with you specifically killing them in the cutscene after it ends at health thresholds that vary based on 'how badly do you not win in the cutscene', it solves the narrative issue but also makes 80% of bosses a dice roll on 'should i engage with this'

i will say 'win the fight lose the cutscene' is kinda annoying but considering how some games try to solve the issue i'm kinda happy a lot of games don't really bother on mechanically justifying that kind of story beat because MAN it can get bad sometimes

holy image compression

these propellors i rigged up so it could do goofy magic casting animations were genius they're so good at helping communicate a sense of body language during attacks where the wings themselves can't articulate maybe i'm cracked at this enemy design thing

the feeling of having someone upload your art to another site is a really weirdly enthralling one sometimes i'll look myself up just to be like 'wonder if anyone's ever said anything about me online or something' and it's like oh damn someone liked my art enough to share it somewhere else that rocks

#umitober day 8: gold
really liked this idea but had a bit of trouble figuring out how i wanted to draw it - i like how this came out though

john gamefreak thought blood type was real funny until someone asked 'how does it interact with ghost' and he had to argue with himself for an entire hour about it

i hate the blood type part so much because i'm working on a game where i have to include it in a type system and every correlation i've come up with for it has sounds so stupid. 'blood resists water because the saying blood is thicker than water' c'mon man.

DQXI feels like its going for a "you don't really need a super in-depth story as long as you have a fun style and funny characters!" style of RPG but like. aggressively so to the point where it will bash its own knees with a baseball bat whenever they start doing anything reaching any level of story

i dont have a pink character in my game. i just realized it was pink i knew i was missing a color

i don't intend to really advertise it or anything since it's mainly a thing for people who ask independently for it but i feel i should mention it: i have a discord server i post pretty constant updates/concept art/ideas/etc. for my game into so if that interests any oomfs just ask for an invite

this gave me a bad idea check back tomorrow

was going to repost the umitober thing i did for the 8th last year because i thought i did it for the 7th and i really liked it but got the date wrong so i'm just posting this instead

1 was fun but its balance kinda falls apart in the last third and its story is really slipshod but the gameplay is good enough to where i don't care. what i played of 4 DRAGGED though, maybe it improves but the opening missions were like 'how many times can we figure out new ways to waste your time'

a fellow bunny pyra connoisseur... i kneel...

i just have a google spreadsheet i log games in it because it lets me mark things like 'best 4 out of 10 ever' or 'if i ever have to play this again i will rip someone's arms off' as valid scores

this is reminding me i gotta get back to watching the new miraculous stuff with my buddies. that shit is like omega slop. most slop slop to ever slop

fun little fuzzy moth enemy for my game

the only reason i use bsky is to talk to my friends and most of them i have discords saved for this site could genuinely explode and i'd just be like 'sick lemme roll out a bunch of invites to my server'

i don't think there's a ton wrong with drawing that sort of stuff for fun (if i did i wouldn't do it) but for as much as i can say i agree with/endorse positive views of sexuality/body image: it is also just kinda objectively hard to argue against also being guy who draws pyra xenoblade 2 huge boobs

this is always something i feel super self-conscious about because it's one of those things where like, teah, i draw characters like that because i just think it's fun to do, but at a point i kinda have to reconcile with the fact: oh yeah i do in fact just draw a bunch of huge boob drawings
