Game
The Flipside
11 months ago

You know what I really hate about making stuff inspired by popular pieces of media like Deltarune?


Whenever I make a character, and they seem just SLIGHTLY similar to another, more popular character, they are immediately compared and seen as

"Oh, so it’s just [insert famous thing] but worse?"

Like, I'm making some sprites for a character in The Flipside right now and I KNOW that everyone is just going to say

"YOU JUST RIPPED OFF TENNA!! YOU JUST MADE CAINE FROM THE DIGITAL CIRCUS!!! GET ORIGINAL IDEAS!!"

*inhale*

You're kidding, right? There are only so many character archetypes to choose from and combine together. Everything is just a version of something else.

Like can we just not say "Oh so this character is zany, chaotic and say weird stuff? It must be a ripoff!" and only compare when we should?

My point? I dunno. Just annoys me. Not even sure this makes any sense.

Huh. That's interesting.

You're never gonna believe this:

I DID SOMETHING!!!!!!!! (great heavens that quality is bad.)

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Just finished up some art for a somewhat close friend of mine. The original version they were using was AI so I offered up my mediocre art skills to replace it!

(The second image is the AI one.)

Strange lights over a farm. Animals going crazy. Something moving in the corn field... You’re a journalist. You came for a story. You’re not leaving with one. Check out the latest trailer for They Are Here: Alien Abduction Horror!

Did some concept art last night.

First one is a bird enemy, second is a NPC for a town later in the game.
