#heck yes halloweeeeeen

[nighttimepixels]

bonejour it is officially Spooky Season so i have a question i’ve been waiting all year to ask: do the lovely lilytale ladies do anything for halloween & if so do they have any costumes planned this year? :D

bonejour indeed >:D of course, it’s always a bonejour in my neck of the spooky woods, skeleton siestas all day every day here-

And heck yes, the Lilytale crew loves Halloween because it’s the best~ Their costumes, once they get acquainted with the idea, tend to range from absurdly hilarious to killer cosplays, but here’s a sample of what they might do this year:

Serif (Lady UT Sans): ... is wearing a black cat kigurumi with an upside-down sickle moon sticker on the drawn-up hood to match Vellum-

Vellum (Lady UT Pap): ... who is cosplaying as Usagi in full Sailor Moon outfit!

Sapphire (Lady US Sans): ... is cosplaying as Lady Thor, with incredibly convincing armor and decor, and at least one costume change halfway through the night-

Amber (Lady US Pap): ... is, almost-but-not-quite confusingly, wearing a Raccoon Kigurumi, with an outift Sapphire designed to go over it to make her look like a particularly cozy Rocket Raccoon.

Crimson (Lady UF Sans): ... is dressing as a particularly roguish lady pirate. She’s a sucker for the fantasy/storytelling versions of pirates in general, and let’s be real - she absolutely kills in that sort of outfit.

Scarlet (Lady UF Pap):  ... is dressing up as, ohoho, Utena. Complete with replica-and-very-real-and-sharp sword. Before the evening’s out, she’ll have staged a very convincing battle, whether she drags a surprisingly adept-with-a-swashbuckling-sword Crimson into it or sets up something a bit more canon-appropriate.

Pepper (Lady SF Sans): ... is dressed up as San from Princess Mononoke. She may or may not actually have a wolf with her, depending on the night’s events.

Cinnamon (Lady SF Pap): ... is dressed up as Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s slightly unfair how well she pulls it off. And how she actually reappears in different Howl outfits without you even noticing her leaving the room.

Blade (Lady HT Sans): ... understandably enough, doesn’t let herself get pulled into any situation where a surprise might actually get the better of her and trigger a bad reaction, but she nonetheless does generally get a chuckle out of the holiday. She dresses up, too, at least a little, particularly because Twist loves it - this year, she’s wearing a handmade kigurumi and carrying pocketfuls of gummy worms/insects, as her kigurumi looks like Oogie Boogie -

Twist (Lady HT  Pap): -because Twist is dressed up as a dapper lady Jack Skellington! She can even sing his songs, and absolutely will, if you’re interested in being her Sally ;Dc

Alpha (Lady Q Sans): ... technically, can be anything in the digital world, but she’s made herself either a miniature BumbleBee body this year to pilot (complete with turning into a tiny VW) or, without even seeing the movie, literally made herself a body of that robot guy from Promare who sits on that throne.

Glyph (Lady G!Sans): ... is often playing shows on Halloween, so she doesn’t generally go too crazy - can’t wear anything that’d make playing too difficult - but this year she’s wearing a black leather outfit and has some pyro planned for one particularly rocking song that’ll make her look very convincingly like Ghost Rider ;D

Devlog #49

Hi-ho, Wudge here. Scattershot bullet point devlog for this week because I am very tired 🙏

converted parts of Mia's intro scene into a 5-page script format.

finished sketching out Dart's helmet; torn between two designs.

Did a lotta fashion research, worked a bit on a future villain's design (pink and black!)

Worked on the eleven variations of Warden following-up on the MC's reason for being cardless why the heck have I done this

(I'm working on this bc several people who filled out my post-demo survey mentioned looking forward to it being mentioned again and they were very nice about it)

Btw yes I did go back and review the feedback form, 7 months after the demo's release! It's still a very useful refresher of yall's headspace while playing that section of the game, thank you thank you deeply and truly to everyone who took the time to fill it out.

Started working on a template for the first authenticity reader feedback form.

Reached out... to... so many people..... waiting on replies/updates that will probably hit me all at once.......... and I've had 4 meetings last week and 2 more scheduled for this week. I'm gonna find a cave and pass out for a year--

Reworked the intro to the intro of Jade's scene, much smoother transition/more engaging this way but still workshopping it.

Working with my editor on Griffin's scene, which to my horror is growing in monstrosity and miiiight start rivalling Mia's scene... not in code complexity, but in sheer size after accounting for all the variations.

Worked more on a promo image for Halloweeeeeen.

I'm a little overwhelmed, but I'm restless too. This is my least favorite mind state. If y'all wanna send me anything to take my mind off project running for a hot minute, I'd hugely appreciate it. <3

Maybe I should take the rest of the day off, take a nap.

I hope you’re all staying safe and keeping warm.

Much love,

Wudge.

Oh, right. While working on sprite expressions, it became very easy to make something cursed. Click on the "read more" to instantly doom your descendants.

Ahhh!!! The growing code monstrosity has become an apparition before me. The horror.
