Just Draw It #88

Early concept for game

This didn't turn out complicated enough

Some sketch for novel

There goes the rest, mostly. I have like two more but that will be posted once I make a new stash of done papers. It will be way later so don't expect fast things.

As for the Bokkos game, it has indeed slowed to a halt. I need to draw more new pixel art in order to create the maps and progress the story.

Just drew it! ... Years ago! #87

For some reason I threw these off in the art folders and forgot to show them for a long while, so here. And there's still more coming later. And yeah, I still don't, and likely continue to not, have a scanner. It's just direct photo, so the quality is like this from now on. orz

Also the papers are curled a bit, explains the left half being always gray maybe. 

Still Drawing It #86

Toose: Okay listen up guys! We've got new news! The awaited update is here!! 

Johnny: And this time we got official permission! It may not be much, but there still is progress underway.

Molly: Well I'm glad it's all well now. Does the new game have your speculations about the gameplay?

Johnny: Yeah, well so far anyway. I was told things can change a lot later, and there's already bunch of number balances throughout.

Soap: Those numbers can change yet again right? Do you think balancing will calm down eventually?

Fuzz: I'm more worried about the rumored map expansions. All this slowing progress kinda makes me doubt further updates beyond the main story.

Goose: Well, it's still something.

Johnny: Okay so here's the latest file.

Game verPre03

Johnny: And again, make sure it's a properly unbroken playable thing.

Goose: Did you hear about the next file reveal?

Johnny: No, not this time. And we probably can't expect a new thing for a good while.

Just Leaked It #85

Johnny: Okay bros so this just in! Some beloved updates leaked and publicized from none other than the Avafhydee Team!

Jeff: Wait, I and my friends had no part in this. What news are we talking about?

Goose: Huh? So you just took these unfinished files? Without permission?

Chrysti: Johnny ...

Johnny: Look, I can explain ...

Tyro: Well, we can't say you weren't warned.

Molly: Whatever the case, you can't undo these things now. You can just hope you won't get a whooping off screen.

Johnny: Please don't talk about it.

Molly: Okay sorry. But seriously, you actually did it, like get the folder?

Johnny: Kinda. There were more but I only got this for now.

The Game Bokkos

 

Toose: No way, my mad bruh. You actually did it ...

Boose: So the rumors are confirmed.

Moose: Well I'll be! Well done, if it weren't for the stealing part.

Boose: If anything, it's about time a thing was done.

 

Johnny: See, Chrysti, not everybody is mad! Heh ...

Chrysti: Alright whatever, and I'm sure Anderson will just hand the files over anyway, but you should at least ask next time.

Johnny: Yeah! Promise! Done! Now let's continue!

Fuzz: So I checked the zip file too. you can see inside where there's no game exe, but I downloaded the zip and opened it, and all the files are there, so no worries.

Soap: Okay but like you guys should do it too and make sure in case, so we can upload them properly in case it wasn't.

Toose: You guys played the game already? How was it?

 

Fuzz: It's basic as bread, but it's all still in the early game. There's the usual forest stage with the forest enemies. And there's the basic turn based combat with the basic attack and basic defend, and a few magic spells and a skill.

Soap: I heard the basic attack becomes stronger later on, and the basic defend changes depending on the equipment, but I haven't touched the newer release much.

 

Molly: Okay, hold on a second. So the game is that big now? Its now bigger than the Justwalk game from years back.

Fuzz: Seems like it. And there's a bunch of these unused sprites and pictures. They could be used later but not any time soon.

Molly: And I presume you two were also part of the heist?

Soap: Wha, Ye uh No! ... Okay alright, but if you were there, you would've been just as captivated.

Goose: Okay so next time, I'll 'casually' ask Anderson again. Hopefully there will be more bigger things in store.

Molly: That we hope, as we did for the novel!

Just Drawing It #84

 

Goose: So it turns out, Anderson has been making a game. Okay for those of you who remember me, well, congratulations, I guess.

Molly: Woah! I cant believe we're back here hosting for this blog, after all these long years. ...

 

Goose: Anderson wasn't joking about the abandonment. But we're here, and with news! He's been working on this third game, about Sovaz! It's where all the Kahmlan Battle and Mission of 1999 and the best stuff took place!

The story takes place hundreds of years ago though, so none of us will make it, as far as I can see, but there will be refferences and key words from the Toby Coreman 3 novel released a short while ago.

Molly: What about the music? Anderson mentioned music!

Goose: Unfortunately, not this time. He said that takes way too time. A shame, but can't be helped. He did say music wasn't his best trade. Oh, and sound effects will also be not handcrafted.

Molly: Anything else about the game?

Goose: Apparently it's not English, the whole text. Its Japanese, so it will be a big shift from the novels I'm sure! Apparently, on non Japan PCs it can cause problems, like glitched texts. Big warning here!

 

Goose: And there's the visuals! It reused a lot of the old contents from past projects, so I heard development will be a lot faster, or as least, was fast. As new maps are being created, there will be more new map tiles and pictures and battle effects required, so sadly things can very likely slow down all over again.

 

Molly: But hopefully not this time! I won't let him stop now! This is a big lore enhancement we've all been waiting for!

Goose: That's right! and I've heard a rumor about a new site dedicated for the game, with character introductions, dev logs, update news, and possibly more!!

So will it happen? Will we truly get a game as we did the novel? There's only one way to find out! ...

Just Draw It! #83

Despite the whole point of the title, I've hardly drawn anything these past few years. Actually, last winter I got my health destabilized. It came to the point where I gotten my throat swollen so bad I couldn't eat for two days. I don't know exactly the cause for all that, but I told myself I will have to create some sort of lasting thing in case I will never draw again.

During the long sickness I have been resting for so long, I decided I will play a game: Look at the wall imagine a thing from the patterns of the wooden wall. In this picture, there's a girl sitting on a cliff or something (Left). Yes, I was that bored, and deluded. This deserve the Ultimate Dream tag!

There was a decently old game called Hero of Inferno. It was a Flash game RIP. If I made some fanart, will people make a remake?

I probably said I should make a poster for the new completed Comin' To the Rescue novel thing. I didn't, and the picture of the dueling bois isn't what I meant. This (Top Right) is concept of the said poster.

I have been doing pixel art a bit. Again. Of course please do not expect any results, but I am trying to make some music for it. Will you bet for a fantastically whooping 0.074% chance for me to upload those game files, art, and music?

Return of the JustDraw #82

I still had been drawing back at 2021 and 2022, but scanning pictures were not simple. Almost half the time it stops working, then I need to reset it, hoping it won't act up again. So I had this brilliant idea of just taking a photo directly, and converting it to a sub par quality image.

There's a few more pictures left, but don't expect much, including my deteriorating art skills.
