Doodle-A-Day, June 19-20
Hey guys, I didn't put up a doodle yesterday and I had a very good reason and that reason was "I didn't doodle, oops". I came home for the weekend and I was CHILLIN'. Whatever this one'll count for two days BECAUSE I SAY SO. I put up two a few days ago, that one could count for one of these too WHO KNOWS.
Adventure collab! Okay so sfemonster has started this collab thing based on old 90s point-and-click adventure games and son those were my LIFE when I was a kid (Sam and Max, Indiana Jones and the Fat of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Simon the Sorcerer, Torin's Passage, ALL THAT JAZZ) so of course I am all over this like stink on shit. The idea is that a bunch of people make up "worlds" based on their favorite things/world building cliches/drawing stereotypes and all those worlds connect to a central maze that the player runs around in, looking for clues to puzzles and unlocking doors and generally just doing a lot of weird puzzle shit.
My world kinda connects to Sfe's world because LOLOL we both love the ocean and his level ends on the ocean on a pirate ship, so you jump into the ocean and then my world starts. Somehow the main character (Ssam) gets hold of nixie essence-esque stuff that turns him into a water critter when he jumps into the water. All his stuff gets wet. His guide through the ocean is a version of Lorna from Bridgeport, because ya'll shut up I love her and I'm stickin' her in this. She doesn't care about Ssam's problems. There is a bigfin squid in the background. The goal of the ocean level is to find a bunch of plesiosaur bones. Once assembled, the plesiosaur comes to life and takes Ssam through the ocean and into a river. Ssam gets out of the river and is in a river valley that's all decked out in summer bloom.
I haven't quite figured anything out after that, but the summer forest switches between summer and fall, and when it's fall it's kinda creepy and freaky. There's an old run-down cabin that is full of a bunch of weird-ass crap, and one room has a bathtub in it full of water, and if you get into the tub the water goes down down down down down into an abyss and then I'm not sure where the place goes after that. There will be bugbears somewhere. Perhaps momos as well. I think a korysaurus is present, and perhaps a tiny lion and gryphon who are BFFs. Not sure yet.
I also dug through a bunch of photos I have taken over the years and compiled a photo collage of the sort of feel I want for the world. BECAUSE THIS IS FUN.
