Now, I'm A Little Concerned For The Safety Of Those Characters, Just Knowing What Happened The LAST TIME

So I purposefully skipped yesterday because i wanted Sun and Moon to go together. I wanted to do something where they could stack and look like they were eclipsing each other but i don’t know if I pulled it off really well. At least the independent versions of the two turned out okay….This is a concept i may revisit at some point later but otherwise I’m satisfied for now.

Do you ever just feel bad for the servants. I feel bad for the servants. But also its funny

The name engraved upon its chest was read by the townsfolk as “MERLIN”.

None could know that time and rust had worn away what it originally read,

Which was “BRIAN”

People talk about the unbridled chaotic evil of the live action cat in the hat but can we please get a shoutout to the cat in the hat from Seussical who has blatant god-like abilities and is a chaotic force who shows up in every other scene, either breaking the fourth wall or casually steering the plot to his whim. He’s on no one’s side except maybe the audience’s to facilitate their entertainment. Insanity

AItober Day 31: Goodbye, Gordon.

"Must this really be the end of our time together? Perhaps you could take the science team's data, transfer us somewhere else, hmm?"

What if Gordon transferred the Science Team's data, per Coomer's last request...onto his desktop?

Introducing the Science Team Ukagakas, downloadable characters that sit on your desktop -- they'll talk to you and to each other, hang out and perform functions for you, and you can interact with them (such as by giving them gifts, asking them questions, and so on.)

They're still in very early development, but there's some more info below the read more!

Before anything else, I would like to state that they are not currently available for download, but ideally will be downloadable once I've gotten them to a basic working level. I'd also like to try and set up automatic updates, but I can't guarantee that that last bit will work. Their text bubbles are also temporary, though I don't look forward to trying to design new ones, haha. I'm new to programming Ukagakas, hence why I'm using Zarla’s template/tutorial (I can’t link or Tumblr will eat this post, but Googling the ashido ukagaka tutorial should get you there), and while I'm getting the hang of the actual coding part, the art takes some time and I'm not the best at writing dialogue for these characters, so bear with me. :)

Ukagakas can have up to two characters together at once, so the Science Team comes in sets -- Bubby and Coomer are always together, Tommy is a single character (to make it easier to potentially add Sunkist or G-Man later), and Benrey is also alone. They function fine just within their "sets", so, for example, you can have only Benrey open at a time and he'll function just fine and have his own content, but he'll also interact with the others if they're open.

You can also customize things such as the pronouns you go by and what name you take, though keep in mind you can't steal their names, and if you continue to go by some variation of "Gordon," they'll have some special dialogue/nicknames. I'll also note that Benrey will continue to say things like "that's pretty gay, bro," no matter what pronouns you use.

Ukagakas also have a feature where you can track mouse movement/clicks on the character themselves, leading to some fun interactions with being able to pretend you're petting/punching/whatever them; as you can see in the shots above, I'm definitely making use of that.

Anywho, long-winded speech over! I'll make a proper introductory post once they're available for download. If you have any ideas for character interactions/dialogue/questions to ask/things to gift and so on, feel free to share! You can even have ghosts remember if you've done something before, and how many times, allowing for me to have relationships build/change over time. Lots of potential, if only I can actually get it all coded in! So- yup, feel free to send a PM/ask with any suggestions, or additional questions/comments.

Thanks for reading! :)

A follow up to this post about Maggie, our lovely lady who goes off to crossdress and sneak into the army, looking her best in uniform.

I planned to add some more doodles to this page, but since the power’s out and it doesn’t look like it’ll be on anytime soon, I’ve just decided to post as-is, haha.

Guide deserves to be happy sometimes!! Plus a fox with her winter coat and a local Lihzahrd

Even witches have lab partners!  What were your favorite subjects in school?  Mine were – predictably – English and art, but I also liked science.  📚🎨🔬 I would’ve liked it even more if we somehow got to make little kitty blobs! ✨

i am once again asking you to consider half life/portal narrative parallels
