I stopped watching Tobuscus' videos simply because of time flying by, his Minecraft let's plays were always my go-to.

Seeing him so insanely washed after all this time, on top of all of the serious allegations coming out over the years without me even knowing, just makes me feel so damn sad.

Space's character page

Boyfriend's character page

As stated in the thread's first post, I was one of Rigatoni's writers, but not in the way that you'd think. I contributed with a good chunk of the descriptions and character bios on the mod's abandoned NekoWeb site, with proof-readings by Blue.

These weren't going to actually appear in the mod, but made these for fun: D-Sides designs for Space and Blue's characters respectively. Blue really liked them, and even made a music concept based on GregGreg's Everybody Hates Chris Song.

Back when Rigatoni was still called "Friday Night Pingin'", I gave myself the opportunity to make a set of icons for a character named Henry, who would've been the stand-in for Girlfriend during the Tutorial. These also were never implemented

A concept I drew on paper for a possible bullet dodging mechanic by pressing the space bar. Boyfriend is a wanted fugitive in this point in the story, Auxel's demeanor immediately changes and pulls out a gun

Blue was down with the concept and made some concepts of his own

Storyboard for the opening cutscene of Auxel's week. Boyfriend was written to be a delinquent who would constantly steal people's stuff, so I envisioned the week the play out as him crawling through the vents into Auxel's apartment building

A VERY OLD sketch of Auxel, back when I first joined Rigatoni. I had no idea if I wanted to make this a dialogue portrait, or a miscellaneous art piece, but I used this as how I drew Auxel his two sets of sprites

(Est. 2023)

I later recycled most of the parts after being given a new reference, and the coloring process picked up for me quite a bit. The down pose is the only one unfinished, as the mod was put on hold when I got to that point

(Maybe I'll get off my lazy bum and finish these for fun)

For the actual meat and potatoes of what I contributed, and what got me on the mod to begin with, the visuals for the week starring Auxel (my bud @nebbyb.bsky.social's character)

His sprites were going to have a different outfit, but Nebby gave me a more simplified ref later on

(Est. 2023 - 2024)

(2/?)

This never got implemented. But from what I can remember, the team was throwing around ideas for some possible one-shot/side songs after the campaign was finished.

I whipped up a small DLC graphic for the menu, but it didn't really go anywhere

(1/?)

For starters, the main menu. I took the opportunity to make a silhouette of Boyfriend and try a certain avenue with the shading. It's abt a year old, but I think it holds up well

Right here 👍

Trust me, I'm a little better at pixel art than this 🙏

This feels weirdly in-character for Specter to do to me. I have no idea why

That's what I'm saying, he's a silly little guy

"WHAT THE [[50% Off]]?" Is such a Spamton thing for him to say, unironically
