How do you draw beaks?? I love your art!
Thank you, anon!! And honestly, I have no idea–I mean, some idea I do, I'm just still trying to improve myself on that
Tumblr media
I'm not sure how I would do a tutorial this time BUT HEY here's a few basic tips that may help out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also: Really draw it, draw that weird angle, pick a fav bird and fill a page with them. The key to learn is really observing, understanding and of course drawing a lot
It'll help you get it way more than just sticking to the same beak expression
As I always say, these can kinda teach you how to learn to draw anything, divide it by shapes and see how each thing work!
I don't really think there's a right way to do it, so it's up to you!

New ‘Warrior’ Cover Art for Chapter 5: Eye of the Storm
My quest to create new and updated cover art for only as strong as the warrior next to you continues! Last time, I updated the cover art of Chapter 6: Ghosts in the Nursery, which I’d never been fully satisfied with. This time, it’s all new cover art for Chapter 5: Eye of the Storm. 
Tumblr media
This cover art has been one of experimentation!! I learned how to do the ‘holo effect’ on Din in order to make it, including semi-ineptly following along with a fast-paced Youtube tutorial above my skill level. 🤣 Lots of pausing, going back, re-watching, heh.  
So glad to be able to include Chandrila in the distance, including the tropical storm from orbit. The Eye of the Storm scene spent some time cut from the fic and moved into the scraps folder before I realized how both I and the story needed it lmao. Funny since, in the end, from a writing perspective it’s one of the scenes in the series that I can imagine in my mind’s eye most vividly and clearly. (And hear clearly! Luke taking off in the shuttle was brainstormed in my mind to this song.) 
It’s been fun, while Caro and I are taking some well-earned rest time, to go back and do some fun extras. :3 Since I didn’t start making cover art for every chap until later, it’s been fun to revisit earlier installments visually!
Huge shout-out to Star Wars comic artists for creating such inspiring works, and to @universeinorbit and @lovey-dovey-and-sad for their great help and suggestions!!

2019 October Update
Woops, I slipped by my stated blog date since I thought September had 31 days for some reason. So here's the end of September update, 1 day late.
--------------------------
Writing... And more writing.
That captures the majority of what transpired the last 2 months. The biggest cutscenes have been scripted as well as most towns, so we're really close... I estimate that the writing will conclude within the next 3 *weeks* and we will actually have a game that can be played from start to finish... Don't get too excited though, because then begins the game's vigorous playtesting phase and more polish. And since I've never launched a commercial game before, the next steps (PR, marketing, lot checking, ESRP rating application, trailers recutting, release date finding, etc) are uncharted territory. The only experience I have is launching a flash game 5 years ago, and that was a lot quicker and a lot less complicated... And so, I can't gauge how long it'd take nor give an accurate release date yet. However, as soon as I do know, it'll be sure to post it here first!
--- COMPUTER BROKE DOWN ---
Among the events that transpired in the last 2 months, my computer actually broke down. It would manifest as the computer shutting off about 10 minutes after turn on. And this was really worrisome because if my computer croaked, it would be a huge blow to the game's development. The time it would take to restore the specific dev environment I had set up would be considerable...
Luckily, it was repaired after 4 days of intense troubleshooting. I'll spare you the long list of events that transpired, but eventually my brother and I were able to narrow the problem down to non-spinning fans on the graphics card. I was able to zippo-tie two chassis fans together, and insert them below the Gfx Card's heat sink. Much cheaper than replacing the whole graphics card!
Tumblr media
(please hold until the game's done)
--- MORE PLAYTESTING CHANGES ---
I'll discuss here some additional fixes/changes to the game based on my brother's previous playthrough (still going through that list, heh...)
Tumblr media
F. Remember you can climb roots
I remember from a public demo I attempted (3 years ago?), that a lot of people got stuck at these roots, not realizing they could be climbed. Since then, we did a few things to ensure that the first encountered roots would be climbed. The roots' colors were brightened so they would stand out. A character, Ernest, comments that others have climbed the roots. And finally, standing in front of the roots will cause the "Press UP" tutorial prompt to appear.
So how did my brother fare when I did the playtest 2 months ago? He climbed the roots, thankfully. He climbed the next few sets as well. However, later on, in a dungeon, he forgot that climbable roots were a thing. Back to square one. So there's a lesson here... Even if you teach a player something, there's no guarantee that it'll stick.
Tumblr media
So in the picture above, you can see my next attempt at an invisible hand to remind the player. In the red circle, notice there are 4 blue dots. These blue dots pulsate wherever there are climbable roots (They're a lot more visible in motion). The idea is to tie an unusual image to an action. I anticipate when the player sees 4 pulsating dots, they'll react by attempting a variety of actions, before eventually concluding that you can only climb them. And that this experience will be more memorable for it - to be conjured up whenever the player sees 4 blue dots. I look forward to observing what happens with the next blind playtester. (Btw, in reading this blog, you have disqualified yourself from playtesting :P)
G. Instant Food Eating
As stated in a previous blog post, the player can't eat from the menu. Food must be eaten in real-time. It's up to the player to find a safe spot to eat, away from interruptions. Some foods can be eaten more quickly, proving more valuable in a fight.
However, what about on the world map?
Tumblr media
You can't use tools or items on the world map, which means no healing at all! I saw my brother opening the menu and tinkering around, confident that it could be done. Because why couldn't you?
Indeed... he didn't say anything, but I wrote it down as a feature to be added. And after adding it, found that eating from the menu was  fun! After years of using the new system, to have the old flash system's implementation of healing again was refreshing.
And so I decided to add it as a possible new characteristic of food. There's now a special class of food, "candy", that actually can be used from the menu (world map or no). Rest assured, candy items will be balanced - costing more than regular food, and their healing effects will tend to be less than other more timely items.
Tumblr media
(the “eat” subcommand appears for "candy" class items. The candy icon on the bottom-right denotes a candy class item)
H. Fishing Hud finally updated
This wasn't something discovered through playtesting, more of an unfinished task that sat around for far too long. 
Tumblr media
(Old fishing hud on left. New fishing hud on the right)
In the old fishing hud (perhaps an example of minimalism taken too far), the fish's health is represented by 10 white dots. In the new fishing hud, the fish's health lines up and mirrors the player's own stamina. Whoever outlasts the other wins!
I had actually been sitting on the finalized graphics for over a year. For some reason, the last 10% implementation of a feature tends to be the most boring. In game development, I find myself jumping around often, working on whatever can catch my interest. That's good for ensuring that the game's development is always moving forward in *some* capacity. But now at the tail end of development, only the most boring tasks are left...
--- WRITING ---
So I mentioned writing. One of the things written in the last 2 months was the entirety of the "monster" village's NPCs. This time I also roped in Pirate (formerly artist, now also writer), since she's quite familiar with their lore having drawn them and their town.
When I wrote trolls, I wanted to give them a unique speech, not unlike the Mr. Saturns from Earthbound. My idea was to capitalize all words and then strip away as many unnecessary words as I could, while keeping the meaning identical.
Pirate then took the result and improved upon it, establishing rules their language could follow to be consistent:
Simplified negatives (no instead of not/don’t/can’t/etc);
Object pronouns replace subject, possessive and reflexive pronouns (me/name instead of I/my/mine/myself). 
No ‘be’ verb or it’s conjugations (am, is, are).
No verb conjugation.
No articles.
Tumblr media
(A sample of troll language. Harpy language is similar, but no caps, and a few other variations.)
Another neat thing that happened naturally over the past two months was a construction of a "timeline". The timeline takes the form of a 2D chart, with the major players lined up on the left, and the years up top. There are new characters this time around, and having the timeline as a reference, helps to make sure the lore is on point.
Tumblr media
(the timeline, blurred. An internal tool to aid writing)
--- FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ---
Speaking of which, it was the game's 5 year anniversary this past August 20th. Thank you to Firana for reminding me!
Five years... Five Years... T_T (I thought I'd be done by now)
It'd be neat to do a longer in-depth retrospective on this game's long development, but I'll wait for the game to be properly finished first.
--- FAN ART ---
We have 3 lovely fan arts that came in the past 2 months.
Tumblr media
(Art by Amaury Lorin)
I like how this picture selectively colors the night sky, comet, and fire. Very artistic! Amaury also submitted a poem (in French). Here it is!
Parmi cette clarté que la nuit seule émet, Au-dessus des radis géants qui s'épanouissent, Nonobstant sans souci les herbes qui frémissent, Sous un ciel calme et sombre, un village dormait.
Éprise de liberté, une puki part Là-bas, quelque part où des prés plus verts la tenant. "Oh, s'écrie un enfant, une étoile filante!" Veille, enfant : pour tes grands yeux curieux seuls, ce soir,
Indifférente au sol précipité sur elle, L'étoile tombe... Écoute, enfant, elle t'appelle; L'étoile : "Suis-je un ange, un messager du ciel?
Avec mes feux, suis-je augure, ou suis-je étincelle? Gloire d'un monde haut, d'une nuit éternelle... Et j'arrive!" --Dors, enfant, tes yeux ont sommeil...
                                                         ...mais demain...
Tumblr media
(Art by LittleLys Owo)
Gale smiling and flashing the peace sign. Nice! I like the skillful use of vectors to draw the lineart.
Tumblr media
(Art by Shafiyahh)
Shafiyahh, who also drew fanarts in the last update, returns with this cool picture of Gale sporting the katana, a hidden weapon that... JK. I Love the composition of characters, and the flashy background - very anime-esque!
That's all for now. Next update will come at the end of November!

Hey moo. I was just wondering if the names of your playlists on Spotify are the titles of your ongoing WIPs . Because I remember the name emi from one of your excerpts during the WIP game and there was a playlist named ‘and the emi goes to’. I am curious about ‘youboober’ and ‘tag a bitch’ tho. They seem interesting. I mean I heard the playlists of your posted fics. They re really good! Especially Gunmetal blue and summer rain.
ohh haha i didn’t know people browsed through my playlists. heh...
yeah a pretty good amount of my playlists were made for my WIPs. they’re mostly also WIPs themselves as i usually just jampack a playlist full of songs that MIGHT be good mood music and then over the course of writing the story they’re paired with, i delete and add and move around until i’m ready to post the story
i’m putting off editing at the moment, so I guess i’ll give a long, unnecessary explanation for the two you asked about lmao
Tag a Bitch: this one is definitely going to change and grow as i write more of the story. It’s my UshiTen that I started a little while ago. It’s temporarily titled “tag a bitch” just because Tendou is a graffiti artist and i’m bad at titling things so they get stupid names until i think of something
Uhm... basic synopsis of that one is that Ushiwaka is the rich son of the CEO of a large corporation and is sent off to a poor, inner city neighborhood to convince the people living there to sell their property so that Ushiwaka’s company can buy them and convert them into some corporate bullshit. Maybe some condos or something. On his way there though, he comes across Tendou’s street art covering a wall. While he’s admiring it, he gets mugged and Tendou shows up to chase the muggers off. He leads lost little lamb Ushi into his apartment with the promise of pizza and beer, then sends him on his way, his main mission to bully the owners into selling completely forgotten. Aaaand of course he goes back again and again and again and it’s gay and they do crimes, the end.
The playlist started out as “okay Aerosmith, yes, Last Child is perfect. The Farm? Hell yeah, oh and let’s not forget Eat the Rich and Sweet Emotion” and then I listened to Kimbra’s Past Love and was like, “Oh that’s just adorable. You know who else is gonna be adorable? Ushiwaka. Add it to the list.” and I dunno my dude, I vibe with it hella hard rn
youboober: this playlist is total bullshit but so is the story it’s the mood for so hey it works, i guess?
It’s for my DaiSuga youtuber/idol AU. 
needlessly detailed summary: Suga is a popular- like really popular, like rich af PewdiePie kinda popular(except without the racism or whatever people hate PewdiePie for, i dunno nothin about him)- American youtuber who has been making videos with his best friend Tanaka since he was fifteen. He does primarily sketch comedy and Jenna Marbles-esque “look at the weird and semi-insane thing i did this week” but has been dipping his toes into commentary videos too to help him keep up with his “one video a week” schedule. He also collabs with other youtubers, especially Mattsun, whose channel is just him being a drop out engineer who makes evil little machines that he makes Suga and his other friends get tortured by. Tanaka is a music producer and makes little tutorial or challenge videos where he tries to make a song in less than five minutes using only... snare drum and... soprano saxophone... ya know. shit like that. Kenma is a videogame streamer. Kiyoko has a channel kinda like PostmodernJukebox where she takes modern music and converts it to an old timey style and has guests perform them with her and her girlfriend/guitarist Yachi. Bokuto is a stunt man and Akaashi is a visual effects artist. they collab. a lot. if you know what i mean. 
basically they’re all based off of the type of youtubers i watch regularly because everything i write is 169% indulgent 
Other side of the world: Daichi is the leader of one of Japan’s most famous idol groups (based solely on my knowledge of kpop because i’m not huge into the jpop scene so SUE ME). The group is named “Imber” and the other members include: Oikawa (vocalist), Atsumu (rapper and lead dancer), Kuroo (rapper), Hinata (rapper), Kageyama (vocalist), Yamaguchi (vocalist). Iwaizumi is the group’s manager/bullshit wrangler. Noya is the choreographer, Asahi their hair stylist. Ukai is the company CEO, Tsukki their lead camera director, Makki clothes stylist, Kita one of their main producers, Ennoshita their MV director. 
Daichi also just so happens to be Suga’s biggest, number one fan. He’s been watching Suga’s videos since he was in high school, pre-idol days, and eventually got the courage to send him a message to let him know how much he enjoys his content. They hit it off and become long distance friends. Problem is: Daichi doesn’t tell Suga his real identity because he doesn’t want him to treat him differently for being super ultra famous worldwide and what not. So he goes by the online moniker “Ren”. Of course everything changes when Tanaka, a fan of Daichi’s group, gets Suga to do a reaction video on their music and he totally falls in love with “Sexy Daddy Daichi and his massive thighs”. Daichi’s group members urge him to confess to Suga that he’s Daichi, but he’s too nervous and keeps hush hush about it.
Plot twist: Suga is already in love with his online friend Ren and just pretends to be head over heels for Idol Daichi for the dramatics. So when Daichi’s group goes on a world tour and Suga gets to interview them for a video for his channel, the group pushes them together and Suga flat out turns him down because “i’m in love with someone else” RIP DAICHI AT LEAST YOU TRIED the end.
The playlist is a total hodge podge because I was trying to get an idea of what each of the idols’ voices would sound like. I like the raspy indie/rock sound of Hyukoh’s vocalist Oh Hyuk (omg i just got their band name lmao i’m slow) and so decided I wanted Daichi to sound something like him, just maybe a bit deeper. I HC Oikawa’s voice to be like Woosung from The Rose. hmmm then I decided Kuroo def raps like Ravi from VIXX because Kuroo is a garbage human but deserves at least one good thing about him so he’s blessed with Ravi’s skill. Atsumu is Mino from Winner... Kageyama is Jungkook from BTS because, you know... genius status. I haven’t found a perfect match for Hinata yet but I’m leaning towards a sorta mix between Bobby from iKON and Jhope from BTS because like... playful? I guess? Yamaguchi is like... Jae from Day6, probably? I dunno don’t ask me i’m stupid. THEN i also have a bunch of Tiny Meat Gang and Danny Gonzales because Suga and Mattsun make stupid comedy music together THE END
