What flavor is your OC? 🍏🌿
The "ladders" (or vines, in this case) that I've been kicking my butt over, trying to bring to adequate functionality. I think I managed to get something going though, and something I believe controls fairly well!
Here's a glimpse at what I've got 🙂

Saw this in my feed, thought I'd give it a go myself
I'm planning to use Peony for this. Any of my moots here have an OC who's outfit they'd like for Peony to try on? 🙂

I honestly wanted to at least include Ib, Mather Father, and OMORI
But since I can only pick four #horrorgames, I'm going with some games that I loved, that are also more obscure
NOTE: Only the DEMO for Dreamed Away is available right now. The FULL game launches on the 23rd of this month 🙂

Man... They may not be the best-designed controllers around, but they were some of the most fun to look at!
I miss having colorful, transparent devices... 😢
(This is my own collection, just pulled them out of the drawer to take this photo)🙂

Okay, so I wound up not altering the rooted temple boss *too much*, but I did script it to remain stationary and altered its already-present attacks accordingly
Also, it summons little biting sprouts now; hence being renamed to "Mother Bloom", instead of "Mutant Bloom" 🙂
Thoughts?

Peony's first design: Basically Link's cousin
Peony's current design: An outfit that was inspired by the image of a white peony, therefore giving giving her a more personalized style. Also I decided she needed to be short, lol; her age hasn't changed, I just liked the idea of the heroine being smol

Peony's little brother, Spruce; practicing hard in their garden!

... And of course I still can't upload animated gifs here and needed to convert to mp4 for this upload; which in this particular case *both* ruined the quality *and* increased the file size a little... 😅

I'm not late, am I? Seems I missed the prior post, heh...
Only thing I'll say is that this character isn't much of a swimmer, she'd more likely be tending to the picnic bench, or chilling by a tree
Though, I'm not actually real particular over how one wants to draw my characters

@kezarus.bsky.social So, been trying a thing; ya *might* recall something about someone making an army of "Sylvan Assassins"
I'd record a more difficult/complicated battle, but BlueSky has a 3 minute limit, and at the moment I'm kinda-sorta protesting YouTube right now... 😅

Really freaking proud of how this difficulty selection window came out! Couldn't help myself but really give it some extra flair 😄

Kinda wish I had the mind to keep my message simple and wrote "I learned to accept my imperfections"😅
Then again the message of "despite everything, it's still you" has been one of the things keeping my sanity together, so yeah 😓
In the end, there were TWO impacts Undertale had on me

Just about got the title screen done for my game, really excited to have gotten over this hurdle!
Also many, MANY thanks to @michirin.bsky.social for composing the music for this! Y'all should check out her work too, especially if you enjoy good #pixelart games! 🙂

If my game has *some* violence, NewGrounds immediately rates it a T...?
I mean, this doesn't not make sense, but like... What if it's mild cartoon violence...? How would I tick this?

Many thanks to those who gave their input on my previous posts, by the way! I actually did find myself taking inspiration from them while doing my edits 🙂
