An Interesting and different 08

Found this when perusing a reddit forum, and I have been fascinated about the possibilities of it all day. Reposting below for easy readability:

What if The Toa Nuva and Hagah switched places and we got the Hagah vs Makuta instead? I often think that if they made this switch fit the story, with the Nuva somehow being able to wake up Mata Nui anyways and fulfill their destiny so that we can focus on the Hagah on Karda Nui it would have been a lot more cathartic and somehow benefit the sets' design.

The Hagah were reduced to Rahaga which were established in BIONICLE 3 as a team of flyers (apparently it was later retconned, but let's pretend it wasn't), so it makes more sense that once they're restored to their Toa status they can easily become a fully airborne team.

Also, the Rahaga from 2005 being released as Toa Hagah 3 years later in 2008 is a nice parallel with the Turaga appearing in 2001 and then being reintroduced as Toa in 2004.

Too much metal in the Mistika? Masks that don't look like they belong to the Nuva? No problem. The Hagah have mostly unknown mask shapes (only Iruini and Norik were released in 2005 and Norik's mask was a different shape than his actual Kanohi, so 5 out of 6) and they were an elite Toa team with lots of metallic armor plates to indicate their elite rank, so we can just turn the Phantoka's dark grey parts metallic silver, or even better other metallic recolors such as gold, dark gold, copper, gunmetal grey and whatnot, and it makes sense lore-wise while adding more prestige to the sets. Also, with a few more parts you can solve the problem of some Toa only having a blaster by giving giant spears, which always look cool and don't require necessarily new molds.

Now, I said at the beginning it would have felt a lot more cathartic, but why? Well turns out the Hagah aren't just an elite Toa team but they used to have the roles of bodyguards of the Makuta, with Norik's team being assigned to Teridax himself. So having a formerly disgraced team of elite Toa, each one with far more experience than any previous group of Toa we ever collected since they predate the Metru and might as well have predated the Mangai, being restored to their former glory to have a final battle with the very species they once swore to protect... I dunno but when I think about it, it feels like the Hagahs battling the Makuta would have been a lot more personal. Also, they are the reason why Takanuva exists too since they secured the Avokii or something if I'm not mistaken, so having a titan Takanuva fighting beside them would have been pretty cool too.

Most people, including myself, like the idea of the original Toa team being brought back in 2008 for what was considered the final battle at the time. However, I often think that a different team should have deserved the spotlight. A team that doesn't require much introduction, since we already knew them in 2005, and that feels a lot more skilled and battle-hardened than even the Nuva. What better team to fight a threat such as the Makuta themselves?

The thought of the Toa Hagah being the ones to go to Karda Nui and battle the former ones they were supposed to be bodyguards for... the story potential is fascinating. I think while it may have robbed us from the reveals we got of the Toa Nuva and the closure to their story, which could have still happened in 09 if we stayed another year in the MU, it would have been a great closure to the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Toa Hagah.

Really interested to hear your thoughts, Tumblr

jokest3r's Masterlist & Basic Info

Hiya ! Welcome to my main blog where I post art and talk about things I'm interested in or current "life" things but I really just post about the games I'm currently playing.

This is my one and only social as I don't like most social media beyond Tumblr. So if you see anyone that's saying they are me on any other platforms... (they are definitely not me /ᐠ.ᆽ.ᐟ \) This masterlist will update and be edited as new art is made or I create fics though most of my fics will only remain on AO3 or here though that will depend on their length ! Empty links will be updated as I post art, fics, etc. I will add more as time goes on. Thx for passing by !

Call of Duty

Matvey-Lukyan Volkov-Makarov ☀ :

Matvey's Ref Sheet & Short Bio , Psych Eval(+Ficlet) , OG Matvey

Classic Version : (New Hair Classic Look) , (Old Classic Matvey & Retired Older Info) , (Old Cute Recolor of Classic Matvey)

Tags : #cod oc: matvey-lukyan volkov-makarov , #oc: matvey-lukyan volkov-makarov

R.O.O.T. Days: Month One

Lobo : Lobo's Ref Sheet & Short Bio , Chibi Lobo

Mutual's OC's & Others OC's: Chibi Matvey & Jack , Fancy Meeting You Here(Matvey & Arjun) , Cousins in Arms(Matvey, Nikita, Kolya) , Valentine's-Day Card from Amara for Revnah

Personal Goal(s): New Banner !

Fandoms I am In in No Unique Order !

I decided to list them by (+) meaning I will post fanart of characters or more likely to and (++) for posting art of an oc or two ! Rest I might just talk about offhandedly if I'm playing them currently.

Call of Duty (Pretty Obvious.) (++)

COD Zombies (I've LOVED zombies since I was younger. A true Misty and Buried Stan(✿◠‿◠)) (+)

Fallout (I haven't posted art for the games in a very long time but that may change depending on when I get into a Fallout vibe again. Just don't ask me about Fallout 4. I will usually ONLY post about New Vegas but Fallout 3 every once and a while but usually to complain about game economy LOL.) (++)

Saints Row (++)

Silent Hill (I have an attachment to most of the characters so I may post fanart sooner or later !) (+)

Watch Dogs

Bioshock

Cyberpunk 2077 (+)

VTM/VTMB (++)

POSTAL (++)

TES: Skyrim (++)

I am into a variety of games but usually will only post art of these if not at all.

Also short disclaimer but not really ? I just think it's sorta important to know. I have OCD and like not ina joke sorta way, like diagnosed. And unfortunately, with Perfectionism OCD it makes it harder to post art. So I take breaks between fully rendered and colored pieces that usually last two-three days so I don't get burnout. But if I don't answer your ask very quickly sorry >.< I'm probably working on drawing it but it may take a bit longer to complete ! Same goes for any art trades I may do in the future.

Rules for Asks: If you're asking me anything specifically, please nothing uncomfortable or suggestive at all/ or related to my personal life. I think that's self-explanatory but just in case ! Though I'd be very happy to talk about the process I do when I make/made my OC's.

DO NOT REPOST MY ART !

🌻🌻🌻

Since everyone’s favorite Bunny was my first ever ask I am going to do something special for her. Under the cut is the official title/announcement for the previously Untitled Elfinspirit BPR Project. I will be reposting it in it’s own properly tagged post later. Currently I am aiming for a September release, but it might be earlier.

StarFall is a Berry Pastel Rainbowcy that treats the rules more like guidelines, and then ignores them anyway. I make zero guarantees about what happens as I barely know myself. All I do know is we are skipping the detective career because after a half dozen failed BPR attempts that glitched out I cannot play it one more time. Things you can expect: An entirely new world with city names that don't sound like a dessert menu (I do want to try it someday, but it really didn't fit this story). Berries with EA hair colors because recolors is what broke my game during the previous attempts (not even joking I've gotten farther in this save then ever before without problems and that is the only thing that changed). Vanilla sims running a muck in the background because I can't have nice things like berry saves, but at least they are written in. Lots of freckles and blush. My quirky sense of humor that no one may get. Probably rated 16 and up at minimum. The target audience is definitely adults, but I'm going to keep it clean as much as possible. No nudity, but a lot of heavy themes so this isn't for kids. A fair bit of gayness as the series goes on (by which I mean there will be a lot of LBGT+ content because I tend towards diversity). Also mpreg because the sims game allows same sex couple to have kids and I am totally fine with my pixel people being able to have a family with whomever they love without medical intervention or other assistance. Consider that your warning. One request: Please be kind I have never publicly released any fiction that I have written, and there are maybe 4 people that have even read my previous writing and I pulled way too much from personal experience for this. So if something awful happens to the characters guess who may have lived a version of it. Oh, and if I ever miss a trigger warning on something let me know nicely and I will add it. Feel free to reach out/reply/send an ask if you want to know anything or chat. I promise I'm friendly. Only my Vampires bite 😉.

Repost, don’t reblog! Tag 6 muns you would like to get to know better when done!

TAGGED BY: Swiped from @culpritouswildcat TAGGING: You want it? TAKE IT OFF OF MY COLD DEAD BLOG. but for real yeah if you want it go for it lol

NAME: Fish NICKNAME: Fish, also emerald-mun seems to be what most default to if they don’t know Fish. AGE: 23 FACECLAIM: A color-edited Konata Izumi from Lucky Star PRONOUNS: He/him HEIGHT: like aaaaaaaaalmost 5′11″, like, I’m literally 1/4th of an inch a way from 5′11″ BIRTHDAY: March 8th AESTHETIC: Fuckin’ gREEEEEEEEEN LAST SONG YOU LISTENED TO: uhhh technically Super Mario Bros 2 Overworld Theme

FAVOURITE MUSE(S) YOU’VE WRITTEN: Look, I’m gonna be real biased towards mah boi Sakana, who I’ve worked on for 5 years now. He was my first Tumblr roleplay character! Although I have to admit, running the askbernkastel account all those years ago was really fun. I’m still super proud of that gif I managed to make with Kinzo getting hit by a pokeball thrown by Bern. And in all honesty, Tomoko’s really fun to write too, I get to channel a lot of me through her since we’re pretty similar.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE ON YOUR CURRENT MUSE: So, when I was running my very first Tumblr account ever, askbernkastel, I ran across a very new concept to me at the time: roleplaying on Tumblr. The very first one I encountered was a talented Bernkastel RPer (shout out to @plumfragments), and upon following I really liked their writing and thought, “Hey, I wanna get in on this it looks super fun!” Having played Ib recently, and enjoyed Garry as a character, I just took images of him, recolored his hair to match my blonde, gave him my favorite color, and voila! I had an extremely thinly veiled self-insert for my very first Tumblr RP experience.

honestly in retrospect i’m kind of shocked people didn’t get really sick of just how cringe my writing and character was back then in 2012. it was so obvious, i didn’t even try to hide it at first. it was only around the beginning of 2013 that i actually gave him his own backstory and plots. but, somehow, with what must have been an astounding amount of grace to muster to be patient with me back then, Plum and others helped me learn the vocab of the Tumblr RP community and how it tended to work, and five years later he’s a very different being from the shitty self-insert it started out as.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE ASPECTS OF YOUR CURRENT MUSE: Maaaaaan, the guy is such a dork honestly, especially in comparison to basically every other witch. I made him intentionally way younger than Bernkastel and Lambdadelta. Honestly? I think I like his potential most of all. It’s a muse I don’t really run out of ideas for, but unfortunately I have issues communicating said ideas to people, so I end up putting myself into a no-win situation.

But the way that I don’t have to keep him static over time is nice, because he’s already an Alternate Universe character, I can develop him according to the things he experiences, and build from past thread experiences. I feel zero pressure to keep his personality static, unlike most canon muses I’ve played. Developing a character long-term through play and letting it stick through other RPs is pretty much my favorite reason for roleplaying, and I feel I can do that more freely with Sakana in particular.

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING: Uuuh honestly? It just comes down to someone else responding or making a starter for me. There was a really bad dry spell early this year I didn’t know how to deal with. Without someone else to bounce off of, I really don’t have much motivation at all.

FAVORITE TYPES OF THREADS: On the one hand, I’m down with whatevs honestly. I don’t think I’d refuse much, with the exception of smut, which is just like...I dunno, I gotta feel it?

On the other hand, I do tend to get far more enthusiastic when I’m roleplaying a situation I haven’t roleplayed before. Like, take the one I just did right earlier with grey!Erika, I’ve never RPd an unrequited crush explicitly, the closest that’s ever gotten is subtext at best. And I was super down with that to the point that I stayed up till past 7am and am still awake now holy shit, because I’d never done it before, it’s a new thaaaang.

BIGGEST STRUGGLE IN REGARDS TO YOUR CURRENT MUSE: Mmmmm. I think I have a prominent paranoia that I’m still, even after all this time and all the events that have transpired, that I’m still not doing enough to separate myself from Sakana in the eyes of others, and that other new folks who come along will just assume he’s a thinly veiled shitty self-insert and not give it a chance at all. And that, consequently, tends to make me question myself a lot - is it still just boiled down to that even after all this effort and time? Bleh. It’s not a fun spiral to travel down.

Another big issue I have is finding out where he might fit in other people’s worlds. Often times I’ll secure an RP, and it’ll turn out kind of samey as a lot of my other RPs. There’s, like, a pattern, where it goes| they introduce themselves>they chat for a couple replies smalltalk>fucking nowhere to go afterwards because plot’s apparently not a thing. Like, I don’t remember having this issue a few years ago; entire full on plots were commonly improvised and they were exciting and cool! But nowadays it’s like...naw. Gotta plot or else it just goes nowhere for some reason. I don’t know if it’s because of a Tumblr culture change due to the introduction of the IM system, or if it’s because I just have lost my improvisational skills, but shit just goes nowhere after a few replies and after having that happen on so many occasions, it’s just kinda discouraging for me in general.

It probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue if I knew how to plot with others. That’s the other thing. I don’t know how to plot with muns. It’s just something I’ve barely ever done before. Like, I don’t even know how it works, is it just like, blurt out an idea to the other person and hope to god the other person is down for it? because that sounds goddamn anxiety-spiking-ly terrifying to me. Is there like, a system for it, like a rulebook or guideline list I can go off of? honestly plotting with other muns is one of the most anxiety-filled things i can possibly do in relation to Tumblr RPs and i don’t get how most people not only can do it, but nearly expect it from others nowadays.

I mean, it’s not like I’m unwilling to try. I just have...no...fuducking...clue...how...and like, why be patient and try to learn me a thing or two when you could just find someone else to plot with just as fast and easily? unless it can’t be learned and it just comes innately to everyone except me?

eeeeeh this isn’t really the note I would have liked to end this post on but I’m getting real tired so yeah that’s all about Fish have a good munday y’all.

#emerald ooc #emerald memes #and to be fair that bit where RPs tended to be samey doesn't really apply to my current ones #it more applies to the ones I tended to try and have before those

here is the concept art of kitsune liang: http://pinktatertots99.tumblr.com/post/163029986305/eheheheyes-thats-liangno-i-do-not-regret-this

anyways, I wasn't sure what outfit I was gonna use for him at first, even though I knew what it was. so I went with the traditional kimono design before I got brave and made the one I wanted to do.

also the two fully colored ones ARE different from the final designs. here's a closeup of them:

I REALLY wasn't sure which versions of the colored ones I wanted to upload first, so I decided to just use the ones I already uploaded. regardless, their really cute!

I might use one of the designs to make an oc I have lying around (their a minor character though. but their super cute so maybe i'll just recolor one of these for her later.)

(likes/reblogs are very nice and appreciated. DO NOT STEAL! PLEASE DON’T REPOST WITHOUT MY CONSENT) (then again I doubt anyone would steal my art I mean have you SEEN my art?)

Hymn of the Hallux Announcement Post

**Since this is only on the Tumblr page, I highly suggest checking out my crosspost with this link: https://lucascomposerblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/02/hymn-of-the-hallux-announcement-post/ for better formatting. In the future I’m hoping to have that squared away**

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Hymn of the Hallux Gameplay + Some More Information post. For any asking, this is indeed the “Chrono Type Game” or the “Game that plays like Chrono Trigger” – But there’s a few twists to follow. I wanted to make a post outlining everything in this game’s official announcement, from every aspect of gameplay, to when you all can expect more info. Everything is WIP and still subject to change. Let’s get this started:

Outside of Combat Gameplay Gameplay

You know it’s an RPG that plays like Chrono Trigger – On-Map battles in the gameplay, three party members, and so forth. How does outside the battles work, though? I present an answer,

The characters are censored through the magical blob of photoshop.

How do you get past this ledge?

I can answer that easily.

Slowly but surely, the characters move past through a hookshot!

“Woah, now how did you do that?!”

When you’re on-map, the game plays like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but each party member has control over a different on-map ability. The one up there was the hookshot; used to get across ledges and to get new items. While there is a lot of inspiration from A Link to the Past, there are a few abilities that don’t come from The Legend of Zelda. Designing dungeons based around these mechanics have made this awesome – I’m able to appeal to people who want to explore everything, while also appealing to people who just want to get a dungeon over with.

Battle System & Other Gameplay Updates

The Battle System plays like Chrono Trigger, but here’s a few changes/additions:

–Dual Techs and Triple Techs are based on your TP – Based on how many turns you’ve done, you’re able to use them, so they’re separate from MP. –Six spell type system – Bar bosses, the spell system is pretty basic. You’ll be able to recognize an enemy by color (there will be a lot of recolors of similar enemies at stronger) to identify what type they are. If you’re using the same color magic that an enemy already uses, it won’t work. If you’re using the one that opposes their type, it’ll be super effective (whether it’s x2 remains to be seen). If you’re using one of the four that don’t affect it at all, nothing will happen. –Interesting Weapon Variety (to be explained more later) –Three spells for each characters. No more, no less, but all spells definitely have ability. –No revives. (I’m balancing heavily around this; the party is becoming really strong to compensate) -Able to switch characters between battles. –Non-Linear Dungeons

Everything is subject to change, but this is what I’m working on right now.

Art Preview

Here, have the first screenshot that doesn’t use RPG Maker assets:

The first demo isn’t focused on the most… aesthetically appeasing stuff. Censor blob comes back to censor party members!

I plan on doing a majority of the art for myself, for self-improvement, but I have a lot of friends who are professional at the craft whom I plan on getting feedback from. If all plans go well, I do plan on funding a few other artist friends to come join me for relatively small work on it. The main thing I’ve learned from analyzing RPG’s over the past few years: There’s a lot of places that they do budget cuts to make a game of that scope possible. I’ve bunked myself into three categories for art: “Need” “Want” “Would like to have”

Programming & Engine

I mentioned it before already in here, but for the first demo, I’ll be using RPG Maker VX Ace. After this, thanks to the assistance of Moghunter1’s Schala Battle System, I will probably be transferring over to RPG Maker MV. If I don’t transfer over to RPG Maker MV, I’ll be working on my own system (which will make the game take more time, but I have ideas in the works in-case.)

For porting, I’m pretty positive we’ll be able to get it on Mac along with PC. Anything else is too early to call, but I want to place it on as many systems as reasonably possible.

Story Preview

This is a preview set two years after the events of Solace. Here’s a short preview,

‘Some sounds were never meant to be heard’

“Craftsion, a fledgling colony in the world of Alkazure, is being overrun by creatures that are unknown to all. Abraham, the colony Leader, has only one clue: Every century a song is sung, a story is told. With time of the essence, can Abraham and his allies be able to solve these mysteries? Or will everything fall to ashes?”

I do have a few friends who are fantastic at writing helping me with polish. Since I do plan on making this an infinite universe under the name “Alkazure” (Meaning sequels, prequels, side stories, and so forth are all up in the air) I want to make sure the universe is as consistent and as strong as I can make it, and all of the writing reflects that as much as possible.

I know there’s one more preview…

Music Preview

As a Musician, there’s no way I could forget a music preview?

So remember Solace? I reflected about the project that wrapped up only seven months ago. The album was a timed 5 month finish from starting with sketches on my computer, to finalizing the album art with the last minute help of Kyle Labriola. I came out of my shell and collaborated five other musicians to create tracks that were truly able to be sprung to life with their help. My thought isn’t “How do I go bigger from here” but “What would be the next big improvement?”

While I am the sole composer, I’m planning on upping the ante in a way that won’t be predicted. While many won’t see it coming, it’s the most logical step for me to push my goals forward. If all goes well, the soundtrack might be my favorite thing to come from this game. For now, have a super early town draft:

https://soundcloud.com/thirdkoopa/velgon-town-theme-hymn-of-the-hallux

Infusion & Who Else is Working on Hymn of the Hallux

Most people don’t know about this, but I’ve been working on Shoot-Em-Up called Infusion for a while with this cool person, one of my favorite people & collaborators, another cool person and a fourth cool person. Yes, each of those links are separate. Since Hymn of the Hallux is going to take up a lot of my time, what does this mean for Infusion and the rest of the team?

Nothing.

I’m working on recruiting a few more people for Infusion, and then it will be a project that, at this moment in time, will be done when it’s done: we’re working on it every Thursday for now. There’s going to be no overlap bar a few people potentially doing small tasks and us all working to ensure the success of Hymn. Beyond that, even with contracting people and various favors whenever (thanks to possible funding; more information on that later), Hymn will be mostly me. I do want to work with people to make this possible, but since this is the very first full fledged game in the “Alkazure” series, I want to get this out as timely as possible.

Demo? What was with the twitter polls? Questions?

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be having the first Demo available soon. My goal is before the end of January, but I’ve recently caught a cold, so it may take a bit longer. This demo is more of a “Gameplay Sample Demo”

While the Twitter polls were to gauge interest, I appreciate getting feedback. Even though Chrono Trigger is a very popular game, the ‘community’ for it is rather split up. Since programming is mostly squared away and I’ll be re-using a lot of art assets, the biggest time sink that this game is going to face is balancing combat & balancing dungeon design. Feedback is crucial to the success of Hymn of the Hallux and I want you all to be a part of that

I don’t know when the next update will be, but all planned future updates will be shorter than this. All blog posts will be on My Blog – Comment to me on any of these outlets I link and I’ll respond as soon as I can; preferably the Blog. I will be posting links to these updates on my Twitter and Facebook Fanpage and I’ll be reposting these blogs on Tumblr. I have plans to use my YouTube channel as well, so for those who like YouTube, head on over to My Channel Here.

If you like Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, or Secret of Mana, you’ll probably like this game. If you don’t like those games, you probably won’t like this but give it a shot and some feedback – all is welcome. If you’ve never played any of those, well, you’re in for quite a ride.

Thank you to all of my friends, family, and followers for making this possible, whether big or small. I have big plans for future. May 2017 be a good year Hymn of the Hallux and for all of us!
