Demo-related update for the people

Wow, I can't believe you're still working on this after so long. ^^ Takes some dedication to stick to a project for so long.

Going all custom with the graphics was one of the best decisions to make with Chronology. Here's some progress.

Stuff like this makes me want to try my hand at pixel art again. Great stuff.

Blog in an Empty House/The Search For A Battle Coordinator

I'm glad this project is still alive, bp. ^^

While I'm not too confident about my gameplay when it comes to battles, I could offer some advice since 1)I'm not working on any current projects atm and 2) I'd really like to lend you a hand, even if I don't have Ace. ><

The Works of an Icy Cactus

Let's hope my user name doesn't revert back. <_<

I figured I'd stick some of my WIPs/concepts for upcoming projects here. I've been on a bit of a creative roll over the last few weeks/months.

Naturally spoiler-tagged because some images are enormous.

Concept art for a future sci-fi/fantasy game (to be developed in MV)



Buildings are heavily inspired from that Phantasy Star 2 remake for the PS2 that came out ages ago. Some of them are hi-res versions of the pixel-art buildings I made for 'Accelerated World'.


Concept art for my eventual MC. I wanted to give her traditional armour, but decided to go for a bad-ass red longcoat.


Redesigns for a cancelled game of mine. Hi-res finalised image can be found further down.


She looks like she could be a villain...


WIPs



Full art of Farren, the main character from 'Icebound'. Fur was an absolute pain to do. ><


And one of my first ever heroines, Laine, redrawn.


Completed
I'm a very, very, very slow (so slow I could be going backwards) artist so don't expect much here.



RIP, you two. I was still messing around with re-designs even after the project's cancellation. Who knows, they may come back in the form of other characters.


This fan-art of my two favourite Granblue Fantasy characters(Katalina and Vira)took me too long.


WIP image.



There is a serious, serious absence of dudes in my art...

I did the backlog of username changes. if I missed your request, PM me.

I personally like my new name. xD

Darndest Things 2

This is seriously cute. Also, a good incentive for me to start making resources again.

I want to change my username to polarcactus for some weird reason. It's my reddit username and I've come to like it a lot. ><

The name just came to me for some weird reason, like a Purple Cow title. I mean, in RL I'm neither prickly nor icy xD.

And Gourd, it took me only so long to realise your name really is a play on a clay gourd lmao.
@Infection: Yeah... I know. But new year, new me, I guess? xD
@Sooz: Moi? Whacky? Nevaaaar. Maybe whimsical.

What do you hate most about game design

Databasing. It's such a chore coming up with names for everything, and while site generators like Seventh Sanctum exist, it is still a pain.

I love everything else, including boss design (because bosses really are the crux of most jRPGs; everything in the game is built around them).

Got goals? (2018)

Goals? What goals? I never really make New Year Resolutions, but this is probably close enough.

- Start working on a new project in MV, finish up an existing one.
- Get better at art in general.
- Learn Japanese.
- Become a high-level player in Granblue (my current mobile game obession, the lovely girl in my avatar is Katalina)
- Write more blogs...? Articles? Submit more resources?
- Commercial gam...? Haha, we'll see about that.

I'm too laid back for my own good in RL tbqh (traits of being a Capetonian, I guess) so I guess I'll become more... proactive? Work harder (its not just for the raises, after all) and maybe find a new hobby (like cooking, haha).

Icebound

Oh, don't take it seriously. It was just a jibe at myself. xD
