what is dave the diver like? ive seen it a lot but nobody talked abt like. gameplay. is it good?? i think i might get it later this month

gameplay for dave the diver involves diving down to collect sea creatures for 2 rounds, this is how time progresses in the game. You are able to upgrade several of your items in order to be able to dive deeper, breathe for longer, do more damage, carry more items with you, which also progresses the Plot.

at night you work at the sushi restaurant that makes food out of the fish you bring in, and this part of the game involves selecting a menu, serving drinks, serving the food, refilling ingredients (but it is Not stressful as you very quickly unlock multiple staff members that do this all for you, since you, as Dave, have a really slow walking speed. you very quickly get to a point where u just supervise restocking the menu and such)

I think it is good ^_^ i am a person who doesnt like management games, and the restaurant part doesnt feel like that at all. (if your staff doesnt get the order out to someone in time, all that happens is you dont get the money that person wouldve paid). I really feared it would be That kind of restaurant gameplay.

There are people who complain that there are too many quests and tasks (this is a game where you have a Phone with Apps on it, related to the game after all), but every mechanic that is introduced is not done in a stressful way, is usually tied to the plot and you are given a good example of how to use it, and many things are optional, or easy to balance since the game time only progresses when you dive!

If I had known some of the stuff/eventual mechanics beforehand, I would have felt very overwhelmed! But I think the game introduces em in a good + relevant way as u progress the plot! ykwim?

I usually HATE when games are Lots of Tasks but here its like well, I need something to do while diving anyway! Maybe doing this thing will earn me more money, or a charm that buffs my harpoon gun, or reward me with an ingredient for the sushi place, or cat food to feed the cat with. Very few things are Timed (like Parties where getting certain fish will have people paying more, or having a VIP visitor you need to make a specific dish for) and the game goes at the pace of your diving expeditions, which can last as long or as short as you want, (U can find oxygen capsules underwater!), so I also dont feel Rushed. You can do all the little quests before proceeding with plot progressing main quest, you can ignore little quests, do them later etc.

Im not very good at video james, and I get stressed out by them easily, and this game has been really fun for me and not super stressful....! I don't think it's high stakes at all.... It is also very Cute moments and pretty and the music is nice. And I love Dave he is a good guy and so cute also. ...

Jerma plays a very very small amount of it which was enough to hook me (and it only gets better and more interesting from there) if u Do wanna get an idea of core mechanics without further spoilering... I also got it on sale in case I did not like it ^_^

also it OF COURSE still has its flaws, from plot to writing to mechanics, but I like it a lot! i am haveing fun

@rosepowdr​ wait i messed up i meant this thing it’s just waiting to cut off my head and hands and hurt me

[muffinrecord]

*sees you mention Meiyui* owo I really love her for some reason. her character tropes are like my favorite.... owo new thought, do you have any favorite tropes? like from tvtropes? I've been looking at that site for a while.

Meiyui is so good. I made a post about her a while ago which uhhhhh. Here it is! She’s a serious person with a silly core, and I think that’s great. I think she is one of those characters that you need to be invested in to realize there is more under the surface: if you take her point blank, then she is this grumpy kind of serious girl who is in a gang, but then you look under the surface and nah she likes soft cute things.

AND IT’S NOT LIKE SHE’S PURPOSELY HIDING IT EITHER??? I don’t think she’s embarrassed of liking cute stuff like Momoko does or Akira, she just... keeps things to herself unless she thinks you’re worthy. Meiyui is good and I’m glad she got an uncap tbh.

Uhhhh favorite tropes....

Man, I know this is a controversial one, but I actually like brainwashing subplots. Done well I think they can be a great way to explore character-what-ifs, and I like the drama. I’m a huge sucker for a person being brainwashed and their friends doing that whole “I know you’re in there” and the brainwashed friend is crying as they try to stop it ;_; And when it works through the power of friendship or love... ;_; ;_;

On that note, I also LOVE characters who made bad choices/born onto the wrong “side” and ended up with the wrong people/groups, and then realize it and make the choice to leave. Finn from Star Wars is my favorite character ever and he was ROBBED of a good story.

It just-- it has so much character agency and I love the setup. Whatever they did before varies, but they change because they believe in good for the world, or because they don’t want to hurt anyone, and they try to be better and change things for the better. I like stories that let people fuck up and then do what they can to make up for it. 

I feel like we need more stories like that.

[rival-ado]

owo I'm curious. But like could order like all the pmd and why you like/dislike each one?

AHHHHHH !!!!! okay hope ur ready for a lot of rambling this might be one of my favorite asks ever fjlsjfJTKFJ

1.) pmd2 !! this is my favorite by far and my first pmd game , specifically explorers of sky !!!!

the story is SO good , the characters are really good and interesting and memorable , theres a lot to do main game AND post game , not to mention special episodes [ theyre ALL so good but i give my life to special episode 5 . ive replayed it so many times ] !!! i could go on forever ahfjsjkfkg . the only negative things i can rlly think about rn are fixed in the later games [ moving in dungeons can be slow and depending on ur type a lot of dungeons can be hell + teammates can be a nuisance rather than helpful ] but !! a rlly big plus is you can make your own missions thru a generator online and get literally any item you want , its super helpful [ reviver seeds are super important to have ] !! i havent replayed it in a while so i might have more to say later but i really could write papers about this game i love it so much alfjskfk

2.) psmd !! the most recent pmd game , and my second favorite !!!

this game has every pokemon gen 1-7 and every single one has a different mission AND theyre all connected to each other . you can get missions from characters from previous games [ grovyle + celebi mission ; __ ; ] . i recommend playing this game last tho if you plan on playing them all !! the story is pretty good and has some rlly good twists , theres post game but not a ton [ unless u want to do every mission ] , you can befriend and play as any pkmn you want which is rlly cool !!! also theres a pushing mechanic which is not only super helpful but rlly funny to me [ shoves an entire line of teammates out of harms way ] . for the negatives ... the characters are interesting but i dont remember them as well , i wish there was more character development . i dont hate the final boss but ... its kinda a reused concept from pmd3 which i wasnt fully a fan of in the first place [ spoilers ? the final boss isnt a pkmn , its just negativity ] . they bring back apples which isnt rlly bad but i sure didnt miss them . leveling up is HELL . i rlly dislike the fact that you have to buy saves for dungeons though , no quicksaves if you have to do something all of a sudden , no saves at rest stops mid dungeon . you gotta buy em and bring em along , im pretty sure its only this game that does it but i hope they dont keep it . nevertheless its a solid pmd game !!!

3.) pmd3 !! gates to infinity !!! i gotta be honest im barely putting this above red/blue rescue team but i WILL bc despite its very big flaws it also has a lot of ups !!

okay this game along with everything gen 5 gets a lot of hate and i can sure see why with this one but i still think its rlly good !!! im actually gonna start with the negatives on this one to get em out of the way but . paradise building does not interest me . no stacking missions [ you cant do more than one at a time ] , the rewards are just supplies that go towards building paradise , the final boss doesnt rlly interest me [ again spoilers same as psmd: its not a pkmn ] , and it just has so many differences from the usual pmd formula and i cant promise that theyre all ..... positive . plus the VERY limited choices for hero and partner [ i wont complain much bc i wouldve chosen the given pkmn over other starters anyways but . no quiz , only 5 pkmn compared to other games 15+ ? oof ] A..... ANYWAYS now that thats over . POSITIVES ..... i rlly like the characters ! the main ones and even the villains have a little development !! [ dunsparse emolga hydreigon ILY ] the story itself is good ; im not a fan of concepts that appear for one game and are never even mentioned later but the entercards [ ? ] are interesting and the frozen chasm recorder thing may have made me want to cry . i dont want to specifically spoil anything but this game can be a little brutal at times too ? leaving friends behind , being chased down by the villains , being split up from your friends , not gonna say the exact scenes bc of spoils but when things get rlly bad and how desperate the hero and partner can get when theyre trying to protect each other ..... [ cries ] . while some mechanics of the game arent my favorite , the story is good and can make u damn emotional .......

4.) pmd !! red/blue rescue team !!! i cant even call this my least favorite bc i have no real least favorites when it comes to this series but i just like the others a little better ahkfjsjfkc

im a little more biased bc this is the last game of the series i played even tho its the original . BUT i still have so many good things to say about it and i would probably recommend this first ? i dont remember there being a lot of characters compared to the other games but they sure leave an impression on you . i also like how the partner is kinda sassy and like , they just met you but would literally do anything for you and believe in you even when you dont believe in yourself . every pmd game has good twists but i RLLY like the one they pulled here . also you spend a good amount of the game being on the run from people you trusted literally trying to kill you which is fucked up but i really like how they played the story . i didnt even play it that long ago but writing this makes me want to play it again smfjkskfj ... the main negatives i can think about are all stuff fixed in future games again [ and you can also do the same make your own mission generator and get items to make the game easier ] . a lot of the bosses are the same type / resistant to the same type so depending on your hero / partner it could go rlly smoothly or rlly badly [ to anyone choosing grass type pkmn . godspeed ] . i think this might be the shortest pmd game and it might be hard bc its the first , but if youre looking to rlly get into the series id go with this one first . if you just want to test the waters id go with pmd2 !!

T.... TYSM FOR THE ASK and these are all opinions of course and its just my thoughts but if you got all the way down here . ily

#I AM ... SO SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT AHFKSJFJ #ill try to put it in a readmore whenever i get to my computer agsin . #i really do have a lot to say about this series .... i just love it sm ; ___ ; #rosepowdr #long post #ado.txt

Hey I was just wondering if you guys think that you will be selling leftovers later on? I meant to purchase a copy but I mistakenly thought the pre orders ended on a different date :w;

similar question:

will there be leftover zines for sale?- @rosepowdr

The answer is yes! Once we’ve started shipping our current orders, we’ll open up leftover sales.

There will be bundle options as well as some individual zines and merch pieces! We’ll be posting updates here and on Twitter leading up to leftovers sales, so turn notifications on and stay tuned for updates.

hey are you joining artfight this year?

I don’t think so 😥 I don’t think I’ll ever join cause my hand/wrist gets cramped easily whenever I draw too much so I would never be able to draw so much art jdjsjsjks

#rosepowdr #thanks for the ask! #I always wanted to join it though #though I’m pretty sure you have to draw a lot so yeah it would be hard for me #esp since you have to keep up too right?

[prideiicons]

Have you used a 5 stripe version of the nonbinary lesbian flag? (Yellow pink one?) I though I saw you post an icon with one but I'm not sure.

could you mean this one?

i don’t recall using it on here but i could if you want to request something with it?

Do you have an art faq . About like materials and stuff? (I'm on mobile so I'm sorry if it's there but I couldn't find it ^^"

Ahh I don’t but I could definitely make one if it’s something people would be interested in!!

I use microns for inking, crayola/faber-castell pencils and Prima Watercolors for coloring, and I switch between quite a few sketchbooks! But the ones I’m currently using are leda art supply and artist loft! That’s all for traditional stuff but if you have any questions about what I use for digital art please let me know
