Dude, I'm still so proud of this stupid booster pack sprite I made for Somewhen (RPG Maker version).

Gosh, I should make some non-standard packs, don't you think?

You, too, can become "talented" if you hyperfixate on a skill for years and years and years and years and years and

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

I feel like I've played this game before...

I thought they were too chicken to do what they did for Mega Dimension DLC. Glad I was wrong. Also funny they uploaded three trailers at once and people are only commenting on the third, shortest one and calling the info spoilers lmao

That's too funny. Alright, stop playing and give me the Chus.

Me: "I really want to go back to my indiegame so I can make more stuff like UI."

Life: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
WIP. One half of the screen done. I dunno if I'll have the other half done this weekend, so here's what I have for just Idyll for now.

Seems like my hometown will be doing just fine.

Alright. I changed quite a few things in shape and tone. I brought back some pixel stuff I just haven't done since I was a fresh new pixel artist, like additional detail in the eyes and textures for large portions of flat color in terms of material hints.

Warming up for something good.

Meet Floe. Codename "Flowtorch".

Female character inspired by mainly Blaziken (with a baseball twist), secondary inspo by Articuno and Kyurem (and its other halves). Like Hopscorch, appears to be a typical animal but is using some sort of her design/equipment to hide mythological parts.

Moogle month over. November'll take a quieter path.

Art for previous comm. Its getting spookier, so here is something I absolutely enjoyed combining my regular artwork and a game engine to handle aftereffects... I use #godotengine to finish my works off.

May do this for my Z-A character to get her out of my system.

Some old art that I never really showed you guys. I made a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team post-game Gengar. He helps the post office now and has fun with it.

I figured I'd post it again because of spooky season.
Welcome back, Gengar!

Wow. This should surprise literally no one who knows me well.

I got hit with Fire-type twice (lol), so I hit some other types it thought I was first.

Link in replies.

Sorry for lack of Somewhen updates or other content. Got really sucked into Z-A customization options as I do that thing where I try to give my little self-insert the real me.

I'm gonna be confused for a while. Please press 2 for the next available representative.

How to be happy, a Hopscorch guide:

1. Turn on Z-A, listen to the Switch through capture card/OBS.
2. Go to in-game Settings.
3. Slide BGM volume to 0, leave everything else alone.
4. Play Stadium/Colosseum/Battle Revolution OSTs in online Ranked in its stead.
5. Proceed to have 8 hours blink away

Pokemon Z-A, 93 hours in. 100%. All sidequests done, all Pokemon caught. All items obtained. All music looped.

Reached A rank in story and Ranked A online shortly after.
Several working Lv. 100 teams fully EV/IV trained & ready.

Minimal performance issues, if any.
Personal 10/10 for me since BW2.

It's a certain kind of day today, I think. A particular kind of Friday.

Ayyyyyy... Beat Z-A. Left no stone unturned.

I had it on Nintendo Switch 1. I caught no issues while playing save for many an input issue or two from my ancient Joy-Cons.

Personal 10/10 of a game in general, despite everything.
Alright, back to gamedev.

My Pokemon & VGM autisms have combined to create Super Music Autism.

I noticed there's at least 26 pairs of the same notes that they added right before the loop in "Battle! Stronger Trainer!" in Z-A.

So my brain decided to not be able unhear a rap I made that included all 26 letters from Z to A...

#ScreenshotSaturday ? That's a funny way to spell Z-A, I guess.

I finally completed this trio for the very first monsters I ever came up with, a decade ago. It's the wonderful lady in the center of this screenshot that's the highlight. She goes by the tune of her own steel drum.

What's the rush to finish growing up in your 30s anyway?

Why not just be a cute high-level Totem mid-stage evolution holding Eviolite?

Without Pokemon brainrot speak, if you treat yourself as an ever-learning, ever-growing force to be reckoned with with no real ceiling you'll feel a bit better.

Man. Sometimes monster design for indie RPGs is tough in the best way when I'm about to draw my own...

I'm sitting here with my shopping cart... OOH! Maybe a Ham Shamwitch from Dragon Quest, and I want a White Mushroom Heartless from KH and OOH! A WHOLE ASS BEHEMOTH FROM FINAL FANTASY. YEAAAAAAAAAA
