because hes actually cool and nice and likes to give gifts to children of terraria

#

which reminds me is there like

or other holidays

Xeroc would have the sun

No, they'd have Purple Hermit because they're alone and have no friends.

#

What are the remains of the deities that became The Hive Mind and The Perforators

#

What are the gods of?

balmy glacier
#

dogma - hive mind
war - perfs

#

they are also made of many other unnamed gods

#

oh well godly essences

pliant ruin
#

yeah they're amalgamations of the remains of multiple gods

#

but those 2 are like

#

the "main" gods

#

the ones that are basically in control for the most part

worn cedar
#

What is Polterghast then

pliant ruin
#

ghost

#

but like

#

alot

#

alot of ghost

worn cedar
#

It's still spooky plantera

balmy glacier
#

ghost amalgam

pliant ruin
#

the current design does not reflect what its meant to be

#

most current designs r kinda ass

#

it's not going to be blue plantera in the future hopefully

#

if things go well

#

if the plans come into fruition

tough path
#

Do they know its christmas time at all 🗣️ 🔥

craggy sparrow
#

The body horror and grotesque lore of calamity actually is similar like in the souls franchise

#

the inspiration explains i a lot me thinks

noble falcon
#

And then ofc we have gael’s greatsword

random mulch
#

dedicated content, non-canon

noble falcon
#

Damn

limpid olive
#

i've always had a gripe with how awesome PBG and Polterghast are as ideas and the fact that its green queen bee and blue plantera

limpid olive
noble falcon
#

Plaguebringer makes sense to me, I have no gripes with it

pliant ruin
#

Dev statements 😔

limpid olive
#

i see

pliant ruin
#

It'll be ingame eventuallu

limpid olive
#

hopefully if we get the post-ml retier we get the lore in game

pliant ruin
#

Specially with evil2 reworks and other things thay might happen like cultist npcs

#

Lore implementation is just kinda Bad rn

#

Lore good, way lore is conveyed ingame bad

#

But it's being addressed with future updates

light moth
#

Hi everyone
What is your topic of discussion today?

noble falcon
#

I hope there’s a sort of aerie furniture set solely so we can have an aerie toilet
The pinnacle of terrarian toilet technologies

light moth
pliant ruin
#

Auric toilet ...

light moth
limpid olive
#

i hope we get more info on silva tbh

noble falcon
pliant ruin
limpid olive
#

oh i never undestood whats up with the envoys

#

well

#

signus in specific

pliant ruin
#

Its just
A. Lacking in elaboration that we know bc dev statements
B. Just kinda poorly implemented in ways that mostly dont feel engaging, well polished or naturally integrated on the world

#

None of them are envoys, they haven't been since the rewrite

limpid olive
#

void is the entrance into the distortion, sw is a worm guy that just slipped through (?)

#

what is a signus

noble falcon
#

Scary capitalist

pliant ruin
#

The only loose thread tying them in is Distortion

limpid olive
#

something about a deal with dog

light moth
limpid olive
#

wait let me boot the game

pliant ruin
#

Signus is a distortion entity that makes deals wirh people so basically he's a lawyer

#

Not dog

#

Statia

limpid olive
#

stati who

pliant ruin
#

Statis

limpid saddle
#

Yeah hes the distortions pr guy

limpid olive
#

oh the ninja???

limpid saddle
limpid olive
#

whats up with that guy even

#

gotta do some rereading

limpid saddle
#

He lost an arm & a leg after getting sent to the distortion by dog with his boyfriend

pliant ruin
#

Yeah the ninja who alongside his boyfriend almost killed Yharim

limpid saddle
#

he was an onyx kinsmen, follower of the slime god & frequent dealers with Signus, yharim, y'know, killed all the onyx kinsmen in trying to slay the slime god so he sought vengeance with Braelor

noble falcon
#

You find Statis in the world wearing a t shirt that says “I Went To The Distortion And All I Got Were These Prosthetics”

limpid olive
#

wait

pliant ruin
#

Statis and Braelor, the two heroes that got the closest to killing Yharim out of Anyone Ever but unfortunately DoG slimed them and ambushed them with the ol shadow realm trick (Sent to the distortion)

limpid olive
#

didnt yharim kill silva

dusk laurel
#

yharim

limpid saddle
limpid olive
#

how is silva disposed before azafure

limpid saddle
dusk laurel
#

and she got sent down atleast twice

limpid saddle
#

shes an elemental

#

she just get backs up after a few years/decades

dusk laurel
#

the last tim was yharim

#

the first is someone

limpid olive
#

oh

dusk laurel
#

who knows who killed her 2000 years ago

limpid olive
#

lazy

dusk laurel
#

limpid saddle
#

⁉️

dusk laurel
#

ggg did you see the calclone changes

limpid olive
#

surely yharim wouldnt throw her back into the abyss if he knows she already rised once from it

cloud ibex
#

What else could he do

limpid saddle
mighty zenith
#

i mean it worked

limpid saddle
#

show me anyway

mighty zenith
#

she's stuck down there

dusk laurel
#

theres not really a better alternative

mighty zenith
#

you cant exactly kill her

dusk laurel
cloud ibex
#

Tossing her in gay abyss baby jail at least puts her out of commission for a while

pliant ruin
#

She's functionally immortal

mighty zenith
#

like. i guess send her to space?? but we dont know if he can even do that

#

given that shes an elemental and directly tied to terraria

pliant ruin
#

Best you can do is delay her coming back

cloud ibex
#

That’s about as close to killing her as you can get

pliant ruin
#

Wr had a talk about sending Silva to space earlier

#

And the conclusion wad

#
  1. She would eventually come back regardless, just probably a bit slower. since she'd just, have to manifest a body in terraria from 0% rather than 1%
  2. There's a non zero chance the disposed space silva returns to terraria exvepg now she has like alien jareds or some shit

So basically: Not worth the effort for minimal benefit AND a liable potential risk

noble falcon
#

Just wait until I finish my Anti-Silva-Coming-Back Spray

limpid saddle
#

this is the best christmas present i've ever gotten

dusk laurel
real silo
dusk laurel
#

she was promised the abyss from anahita...

real silo
#

She will destroy the abyss lifeforms for her right to it

#

Who is Shakidou?

#

Never heard of him

dusk laurel
#

yeah hes part of the unimplemented lore

#

the god of emptiness

#

who absorbed the soul of the dragon of night

#

2nd strongest god in history

#

thats kinda it

limpid olive
#

2nd?

limpid saddle
#

yharim aura-farmed him

limpid olive
#

stronger than Noxus?

dusk laurel
#

no

limpid saddle
limpid olive
#

ah ok

dusk laurel
#

theres a huge fucking gap between xeroc and shakidou

limpid olive
#

i thought he was the god of the distortion or smth

dusk laurel
#

shakidou is weaker than the exo mechs

limpid saddle
#

hes just a distortion entity of undisclosed nature

limpid olive
#

alright good to know

limpid olive
dusk laurel
#

xeroc is the strongest character in the lore

limpid olive
#

terrarian no diff

dusk laurel
#

its unfair really

mighty zenith
limpid olive
#

terrarian no hits xeroc full power

worn cedar
#

Emptiness?

Avatar of Emptiness?

A Lone Star in a Perfect Word

just kidding tho

#

Is that the source of the Stratus weapons?

#

Or not

#

Cause startus is very star themed

dusk laurel
#

uhhh

#

i dont even remember what stratus is made of

#

but likely not

pliant ruin
#

Stratus is made of lumenyl, ruinous souls and meld. The source of it is that you craft it ☝️

dusk laurel
#

^^^^^

limpid olive
#

whats the prime fovos scaling btw? above all gods right (minus xeroc)

#

and yharim

worn cedar
#

So it's abyss made

#

Okay

#

It's not made of stars it's bioluminescence

#

Magical bioluminescence but bioluminescence nonetheless

dusk laurel
#

yes yharim is weaker than prime ml

limpid olive
#

a bit weaker is some insane scaling here

spare pier
#

"A bit" is not really true

#

I already made the general comparison of Xeroc being the Gojo of Calamity

worn cedar
#

Damn, cloud elemental no longer a waifu

#

A seraph design

#

That's cool

spare pier
#

But you are never beating him in a fight unless you have some absurd fucking plan

limpid olive
#

brim elemental should be post golem imo :/

#

underwhelming for the gal that incinerated azafure

#

should be stronger than anahita i think

spare pier
#

He would need some sort of tool that would allow him to bypass Xeroc's biggest strengths

#

But also it's very different here because obviously Xeroc doesn't have an Infinity and Moon Lord is weaker than Xeroc

#

It's not an equal battle that gets the scales tipped by an overpowered technique

#

But you get what I mean

limpid olive
#

insightful

#

thanks :)

spare pier
#

But yes that's the power dynamic I see with Xeroc

limpid olive
#

what about exos v calamitas

spare pier
#

Equal battle

limpid olive
#

👍

pulsar ocean
limpid saddle
limpid olive
#

oh thats how calamitas gets that strong

#

fair

pulsar ocean
#

Why doesn’t calamitas just go back to hell to get more power from whatever brimmy has left

pliant ruin
#

Calamitas probably stole her shit

limpid olive
#

wait if brimstone elemental was strong enough to fuel calamitas then why is the earth elemental so nothingburger

limpid saddle
limpid saddle
#

fake asf

#

cancelled on twitter

limpid olive
#

ok them yeezys fake

pliant ruin
#

The real earth Elementals are

#

Sand and Granite

#

yeah

#

Elementals arent exactly made equal

#

Some are just more concentrated than others

#

Like

Ice elemental.
Silva

limpid saddle
#

wonder if the ice queen could get written in as an ice elemental

pliant ruin
#

If frost moon wasnt sent to the shadow realm i could see it but also

#

Woman Elemental number Thirty

#

Mightve made her into something else just so the elementals can have more variety over Woman

limpid saddle
#

making her one wouldnt exactly change anything

#

the only two basegame creatures that could be said to be in a traditional sense (not chaos elementals or whtv the fuck they're called) are the Sand Elemental (wow) & the Ice Queen

pliant ruin
#

It would add another humanoid woman design the ranks of the elementals which they're already p satutated withq

limpid saddle
#

its calamity (fabsol's) fault for having all of the new ones be women

#

which i get it puts a strain on visual diversity but it isnt exactly an issue

pliant ruin
#

With uhh
Cloudy being redesigned and us getting Earth as an accessory instead of the Sandy twins i think anf its The Obelisk

spare pier
dusk laurel
#

so theyre moving away from those designs

pliant ruin
#

Anahita, Silva and Brimmy get to keep their woman privileges

#

The rest do something different

limpid saddle
#

women priviliges 🥀

pliant ruin
#

The Obelisk

limpid saddle
#

its a shame on cloud elemental though i thought her new design was really clever

#

the way shes lazily floating from her hair thats a nimbus cloud

pliant ruin
#

Her sleepyhead design was very cute but i understand why dia changed it

limpid saddle
#

that was quite clever i liked that one

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

oh god the melon gun

pliant ruin
#

A sacrifice in the name of visual diversity 😔

limpid saddle
#

they're gonna TRANS the clouds

pliant ruin
#

I wont miss the sandy twibs though

limpid saddle
#

calamitys finally gone WOKE

pliant ruin
#

Those just sucked actually

dusk laurel
#

the sand twins are so just uninteresting

limpid saddle
mighty zenith

rare sandy most overrated thing in the mod

pliant ruin
#

Brain

limpid saddle
#

i like the sharp grit of the basegame design

pliant ruin
#

Like the vanilla sprite dosent have pixel jiggle physics

#

The accessoriee though haha Uhm.

limpid saddle
#

she very much looks like a living little sand tornado & i think thats quite cool even if its a generic design

mighty zenith
#

the vanilla sprite is also more like a yokai

#

than just a woman

#

it gives more froslass vibes to me

limpid saddle
pliant ruin
#

I think vanilla sandy is a competently executed design its just kind of boring

mighty zenith
#

i mean yeah

pliant ruin
#

Like theres nothing wrong with it

limpid saddle
#

nothing wrong with simple

pliant ruin
#

Its also just kinda There

mighty zenith
#

it works for vanilla just fine imo

limpid saddle
#

without generic fantasy stuff terraria would be missing like

pliant ruin
#

Like i dont feel any way about it

limpid saddle
#

fuckin

#

all of its everything

mighty zenith
#

but the calamity sandy twins are just really uninspired for calamity's design standards

pliant ruin
#

Yeah its not like a complain terraria isnt a very

#

Creature design centric gane

limpid saddle
#

yeah the height of creature design is probably a tie between Moon Lord/Wall Of Flesh & then Duke Fishron takes second with Empress in third

pliant ruin
#

Enemies dont have much depth to them in general theu exist to headbutt yoy and be killed 500 times so thw player gets a cool sword

noble falcon
#

New elemental that looks like a roid rage circus strongman

pliant ruin
#

Calamity enemy design is just more indepth as a whole
Lore, design, mechanics
So there's just a higher bar

#

Or well

#

Calamity enemy design WOULD be more indepth as a whole

#

If

#

If sso existed

split mortar
#

Yeah if the update came out

#

The

#

The fucking

#

Update gatekeeping EVERYTHING

limpid saddle

WHO?!

#

IS nuber

noble falcon
#

The orange blob guy in chapter 2
It’s Nubert, how can you not know Nubert

dusk laurel
#

red

#

nubert is red

noble falcon
#

He’s whatever color is the most Nubert-like

#

The point is he’s totally the knight
Trust me on this, I like, know Toby Fox

Mery crimmy

noble falcon
#

I wish it was
But Yharim stole Christmas
And his heart has yet to triple in size

#

is there a lore reason why the primordial wyrm kills you when you teleport in the abyss

feral skiff
#

hungry

robust osprey
pulsar ocean
limpid olive
#

ah ok

noble falcon
#

It’s a fish and you’re waving a bright flashy stick around
That’s like the best way to get a predatory aquatic creature’s attention

dusk laurel
#

its actually a dragon and it associates primordial light with xeroc who has control of primordial light because he absorbed the light dragon's soul

#

and hes still pissed about it

#

doesnt seems like it knows theres other sources of primordial light since chaos elementals just

#

exist, but whatever

split mortar
limpid olive
#

im spawning the EoL in daytime abyss and i dont see jared coming to eat her

#

lazy devs

#

/j

agile matrix
#

is the abyss dark bc of the primordial wyrm or is the wyrm dark because of the abyss

abstract hedge
#

The abyss is dark cause it's underwater

split mortar
#

The abyss is dark because its in the closet

leaden bridge
#

so theres this thing called depth

night barn
#

it's probably dark cause the sun is wayyyyy up in the sky and the abyss is like waayyyyy far away from that i think

visual kiln
#

i think the abyss is dark bc its not loaded yet

noble falcon
#

It’s dark because I ate all the torches

normal mantle
#

How the fuhh is the primordial wyrm like multiple times stronger than the second strongest auric dragon 😭

stoic gulch
#

Blessings

night barn
#

it's because he's super old

#

he has old man strength

#

yharons old man strength resets with each rebirth

normal mantle
#

Biggie duke is one of the first fishrons

#

Ts makes no sense ✌️

pliant ruin
#

Somewhere before Yharon but after DoG i think..?

#

So still like pretty strong

#

only a bit above old duke which makes sense since theyre abt as old but primordial wyrm has The Blessing

pliant ruin
#

He's just gonna be one of the first nonauric dragons in general

#

His relation to fishrons will be seemingly entirely or atleast mostly cut as his design wont really be ifshron or Pig adjacent anymore

#

He'll lean further on the dragon aspect and i think maybe retain the F ish part since he's like. still on the sulphur sea

#

I think the idea behind this change is that yeah having this character whos super important and meant to be taken seriously and an actual really evil villain and one of the oldest dragons whos ALmost auric and all that be related to one of the most inherently goofy bosses/enemy groups in the mod kind of took away from that aspect and also separating him from Fishrons further separates him from Fabsol's original idea which while not inherently necessary specially with Old Duke is definitely something that helps unstain his reputation a bit
I believe tobias also thought the hog elements on the design just kinda looked Bad and unserious but like not in a good way

Do not quote me on any of this though

#

Which yeah i do think calamity needs more whimsy, but in this case, i can understand

#

Plus traingle has mentioned wanting to make his future redesign into a cool as fuck dragon that mixes medieval and eastern elements i think so thats promising

pliant ruin
#

i think crabulon is the perfect boss to have some goofy shit on

pliant ruin
#

none of this stuff i'm saying is set in stone or confirmed or i'm even 100% im saying the right shit this is just what i remember hearing from discussions in this server/dev statements

rotund shore
#

a boss whose never been super story relevant and is so early

pliant ruin
#

also he's a crab and crabs are just like a inherently goofy animal

rotund shore
#

people hate to admit it but crabs are peak animal performance

pliant ruin
#

not only that his theme is a completely bop thats clearly meant to be fun and whimsy over anything too intense or dark and his name is fucking Crabulon

#

this boss was NOT designed to be serious dude

#

Not to say he's like a joke boss you can still have some bit of lore depth in there

#

but out of all bosses in the entire mod if any of them are really gonna lean in the goofy

#

yeah its this guy

rotund shore
#

i find it funny how the first two calamity bosses in progression are ilmeris associated

pliant ruin
#

illmeris sort of has a big narrative arc in the earlygame in calamity id say

#

like if you made calamity into an actual like, linear story

#

like a book or a a. a,a.,a , mgsdljn

#

moving on

#

anyways if you did that

#

illmeris earlygame would probably constitue a "story arc"

rotund shore
#

there’s definitely a bit of awe and wonder you’re meant to feel in the sunken sea

pliant ruin
#

It's also like

#

basically your introduction to the mod's story proper id say tbh

rotund shore
pliant ruin
#

I mean you get yharim whispers before that and all and im sure theres bits of lore you can glance with bestiaries and tooltips and i'm sure they'll add more

#

bgut like

rotund shore
#

sso save me

pliant ruin
#

I think, inherently

#

Illmeris is where the story Starts

#

you start really learning of Calamitas, Yharim, the crusade, you meet a survivor of Yharim's actions, you get to be directly involved with the Crusade's aftermath for the first time, you get to acutally learn more about some gods

#

basically Every major plot point just kinda actually Starts in the earlygame sunken sea

#

its also where you seemingly meet your first actual important character directly and before that its just like minor npcs so yeah

rotund shore
#

it has this like air of mystery to it that you want to learn more about i think

it’s the perfect show of the atrocities from the crusade

pliant ruin
#

I mean theore=tically when they add Statis he COULD be met before the sunken sea but uh

#

Yeah i doubt it

#

and braelor is just distortion

rotund shore
#

i always figured statis would be post slime god at the earliest

progression wise you hopefully fought giant clam by then

dusk laurel
#

statis is like an unspecified "early hardmode" i think

rotund shore
#

makes sense

pliant ruin
#

He'll just be a amidias questline instead you'll just like find Amidias hanging out somewhere

#

i mean

#

unless you mean

#

the sucking his soul out part there's that i guess yeah.

zenith geode
#

how does a clam do that

rotund shore
pliant ruin
#

And then you get like

#

a really really big clam

#

And now it does that but

#

with souls instead

#

checks out!

pliant ruin
#

It's gonna be an actual like new lore thing that you can find ingame

#

pearls that contain the mana/memories of lost illmerans

#

So yeah then you get king clam and it's just That but Stronmger

#

so instead of just memories or mana its just

#

whole ass souls

#

and in one of amidias's quest it

#

it sucks out his soul.

#

so amidias kindly asks you to please get him his soul back he is in great pain and agony please help me

rotund shore
pliant ruin
#

I don't know if he'll actually ask you for that or if it's more of a thing where like king lcam absorbs his soul and now you have to defeat it to get it back but the thought of

#

souless dry amidias still alive and conscious and asking you to get his soul back

#

i cant lie theres something so utterly fantastic about that

#

i kind of hope its exactly like that

abstract hedge
pliant ruin
#

but yeah you beat up king clam and now horse man has his soul back

pliant ruin
rotund shore
#

it gives the npcs more personality for them to have wants and needs

pliant ruin
#

the npcs are also getting a entirely new dialogue system so thats good because terraria's npc dialogue works well for terraria's npcs but if you want to actually Tell a Story it uh yeah sucks

#

vanilla npcs keep the vanilla dialogue and i think "minor" npcs do too..? like historian or bandit

#

but then like

#

the actual imporatn tones

#

amidias, permafrost, calamitas, statis etc

#

get a more sort of dialogue tree system

rotund shore
#

yeah for regular terraria npcs them just having stupid flavor text is perfect

pliant ruin
#

basically draetalk is a prototype for that

rotund shore
#

bandit has always stuck out to me for being the one cal npc in the game who is themed like a vanilla npc

not bad, just interesting

abstract hedge
pliant ruin
#

Scavenger that gives you lore bits for artifacts yeah

#

A neat little idea triangle had for a way to convey some lore that'd be hard to naturally convey ingame otherwise

rotund shore
#

having a character whose autistic special interest is a part of the lore is great

dusk laurel
#

i will absorb the historian into my mind

#

i require its knowledge

thick slate
#

intelligent crab

icy veldt
rotund shore
#

i like when media explores their own interpretation of being soulless

thick slate
#

truee

#

soul is so weird

#

so many interpretations of it

rotund shore
#

cough cough undertale

thick slate
#

i played undertale once when i was 14

#

i dont think i understood the tones

abstract hedge
#

Like souls in my setting are basically the connection between the mind and body, like if your soul is removed you can't feel, see, or move or anything.

young socket
#

one time i wrote that souls were symbiotic creatures that would live alongside creatures since birth

pliant ruin
#

souls dont exist in my setting ur a Cells

young socket
#

animals would have organs to produce physical mana, essentially a useless crystal like object, and the soul would convert it into the particle variant and manipulate it and convert it into stuff like fire and ice

abstract hedge
#

That's cool

I think in most settings the soul is treated as the main executable code and the brain moreso like a processor if that makes sense

#

That or metaphysical

pliant ruin
#

its literally 1984

#

no i mean like literally

#

its literalyl like the book 1984

which also meant that if animal lost their mana creating organ (like it stopped working or was forcibly removed or watever) the soul would try and convert anything in the animals body into mana to live, killing the animal (and then eventually the soul because they cant live without a "host")

pliant ruin
#

well you can kill giant artificial gods that explicitly exist to protect nations from invasions of the Eternal Fucking Warzone Where Literally Every Nation's Military Ever Is Trying to Kill Eachother and there's Like Literal Ecosystems Developed Thjat Function Around These Warzones Entirely

#

after you kill said giant artifical gods which mostly exist to keep society from completely collapisng and making it so people acn still generally Exist you can absorb this funny thing called a deus core which si like their artifical heart thing and now you're like goku

#

as in you're just really fucking strong

#

and have f unky powers

young socket
#

also, the mana creating organ had no failsafe for when the mana crystal gets too big

pliant ruin
#

which vary depending on the artifical god in question

#

whcih yes that's kinda like calamity mod auric dragon divine ascencion

#

funny thing

#

it wasnt even inspired by that

#

it was one piece dude

#

it was devil fruits

craggy sparrow
pliant ruin
#

not many

craggy sparrow
#

And the some?

pliant ruin
#

it's pretty hard and it usually leads to a entire nation collapsing because their giant artificial god is fucking dead

My gods are also a calamity ripoff, if you kill a god you can take their domain but it'll change.

#

Like the god of blood was replaced by the god of sacrifices who is a ripoff of agnus.

#

i put a lot of thought into the souls of story i would never end up writing,,,,

pliant ruin
#

people who succesfully absorb a deus core ant not only really rare because the artifical gods which are called seraphims btw themselves are really strong and trying to take down is like inciting the wrath of a entire nation on you so its like very unfeasible for a single individual without a proper group or strategy but also because theres a chance someone else will just fucking steal it after

#

which you could also do

#

you could wait for someone to do that and the nfucking steal it

abstract hedge
#

Also domains can be split up, like the domain of authority got split into five-ish recently including iirc punishment and like war or something.

pliant ruin
#

which is why you probably want to make sure theres nobody around when it comes to actually dealing the killing blow to the thing

craggy sparrow
pliant ruin
#

my storys entire like narrative mainly revolves around the themes of human union and how we unecessarily split ourselves apart in groups and fight eachother for dumb shit

craggy sparrow
#

Is the deus a good energy source?

#

that would put a lot of motivation in the wars too

abstract hedge
pliant ruin
#

and also how human relationships are actually really strong and how multiple people working together for a goal is a very powerful force that has to be actively supressed constantly by those who could be threatened by it

this is just gurren lagan

pliant ruin
#

it's intended to be a very bleak setting but with a very hopeful overall message

my goal is to make a fairly small adventure game on this setting at first that will have you play as a characterand their travel partner exploring the Wilderness beyond the nations as they're looking to achieve a mutual goal and then later sometime i want to make a game that is basically my dream project that is like much bigger and it takes palce in this setting aswell

#

However

#

reign of yharim

#

cant do that right now

#

that exists

craggy sparrow
pliant ruin
#

i'll od it later after yharim has reigned

thick slate
#

is this roy im confused

pliant ruin
#

no

#

personal project/setting

thick slate
#

dang

pliant ruin
#

cant work on it rn because roy

#

so yeah later

thick slate
#

soy

craggy sparrow
pliant ruin
#

i might work on the small game as a intermission after i get a bit tired of working on roy

#

but the big game yeah . later

craggy sparrow
#

instead of just a replacement

pliant ruin
#

The fact that theres a huge fucking war going outside all the time means the Seraphim is essentially like the one thing keeping a nation from immediately getting blown up and going to shit

#

also another thing is that basically every nation has a fake skybox so the people dont see the Horrible Fucking Warzone at their doorstep

craggy sparrow
#

oh it's that bad damn

pliant ruin
#

which ties in into the fact government propaganda and censoring as you might guess is very prevalent in the story

pliant ruin
craggy sparrow
#

or ingrown in their own nation

pliant ruin
#

The world is basically split into 3 major types of areas
Paradisos which are the nations inside the skybox with the artifical god protectiong them and where civilians and governors live
Infernos which are Hell Warzone Hell Hell
And the Wilds. which are like where there isnt really neither

#

wilds monster hunter

#

getting to the wilds is often pretty hard though

#

because not only do you have to leave the paradiso (whcih is not easy tod o. yo ueither have to be drafted into the war or find another much harder and more specific way. which can include just absorbing a deus soul because at that point most nations are not gonna take a risk with trying to control where you go unless that is an active threat to them in some way. tis not worth the effort)

#

but then you have to

#

go through the infenro

#

which haha yueah not . not easy. not fun

#

specially if youve been drafted as a soldier

#

and yeah obviously if you dont pay your fucking taxes in the paradiso and that sort of thing

#

oops

#

to the warzones you go

craggy sparrow
#

Is it possible to try and destroy a nation after consuming a deus

#

kinda thinking like a color fixer trying to take down a wing on their own

pliant ruin
#

I have like a whole ass doc detailing a bunch of stuff for this project even if im not gonna work on ti for a really long time realistically because its kind of my drea mproject and i think its actually like worldbuilding stuff i did for it is actually pretty damn cool which is great because i notoriously have ocnsidered myself for a long while a very good writer of narratives and characters but a not that good writer of actual worldbuilding

pliant ruin
#

how successfull that goes would depend on alot of things

#

But since the seraphim being taken down by itself is already a huge blown tgo a nation it is by all means possible evne if mostly by incident

#

incidence

#

word

abstract hedge
#

Man I wish my setting was better, it's so generic.

light linden
#

I uh

pliant ruin
#

Like a nation's best bets after that are to speedrun making a new one or to find some other weird bullshit way of not exploding

#

alternatively they could also like

#

bum rush t heir enemies at this point

#

got nothign to really lose

light linden
#

not to be that guy but what are y'all talking about?

pliant ruin

and hey if you kill them first

they cant kill you anymore

Like right now its late at night and nobody is really using this channel for anything else and i'm having fun and i think hikari user also is and its like

im personally a big fan of media where everything is miserable and terrible and literally the worst

pliant ruin
#

roy yharim update finally coming out and im on my deathbed at 83 and im like

#

haha i can finally work on my game now

#

proceeds to die

pliant ruin
#

HOWEVER

pliant ruin
#

Media where everything is miserable and terrible and literally the worst yet people SOMEHOW still manage to make the best of it

#

now thats literally my shit

#

fucking love that

#

all of my favorite media is that

thick slate
#

i feel like most miserable media also has people who are hopeful

pliant ruin
#

thats like the entire vibe i want for my story like shit sucks ass its so ass its miserable but trheres still a hopeful tone

thick slate
#

not very entertaining if its all misery

pliant ruin
#

yeah generally stories with the message of

#

everything sucks it will always suck your life sucks your life will suck fuck you

thick slate
#

dark souls

pliant ruin
#

are not well liked most of the time because yeah thats just not very interesting and i mean you Can pull of a story with a actual negative tone

#

there are ways to do it

#

its just that just pure pessimistic nihilism thats just there for like cheap shock value and stuff which is like Yeah

#

like per example you can have it b e a cautionary tale

#

thats i think one of the best ways to do it

#

because that is retroactively still giving you a Message

#

dont do this shit youll end up like this guy

#

you dont wanna be this guy

thick slate
#

i like fallout cuz its hell but everyone is silly

pliant ruin
#

evangelion is kind of like that in a way though it also does have a hopeful message at thes ame time its fucked up and complicated and evangelion is fucked up and complicated

#

also yeah unironically just making a story where everything sucks ass but it odsent take itself that seriously can actually work really well too

thick slate
#

fallout isnt thatt silly

#

75% on the sillyness meter

glacial rampart
#

I would say Kamen Rider Ryuki is a good example of a show where all of the circumstances are kind of completely shit and terrible and it kind of fucks with Kido but he never completely wavers
He has his moments where he doubts whether hes doing the right thing by trying to stop the fight but ultimately no matter what his belief and goals are he holds fast to it and like

#

idk maybe ryuki isnt really lkie that I just really like kamen rider ryuki

pliant ruin
#

like sometimes oyu dont wanna make a like a super deep plot or actually have a thoughtful message ou just wanna throw nuclear bombs at babies and laugh at ti

glacial rampart
#

LOL

thick slate
#

truth nuke

#

i like the metro series a lot

abstract hedge
#

I personally like things being a mix of good and bad, like for example in my setting:
Good parts: afterlife(s), much higher quality of life than the real 1500's, and magic.
Bad parts: the horrors of war, genocide, and magic.

its not about how good you think dragon ball is its just like

# glacial rampart earlier I had a 2 hour conversation with my sister about how to place Donkey Kon...

Like I think the only way to not break progression completely is to introduce him during namek and have him die permanently in some way during goku black because if they had an extra fighter they wouldn't have needed to get frieza and i think frieza is vital to the universe 7 win there
I just dont think DK manages to scale that high cause I think he starts falling off around cell which is why I proposed having him killed by perfect cell to train with king kai

pliant ruin
#

brazil is in my humble opinion actually a pretty cool country in alot of ways altho yeah its not perfect
theres alot of positive traits about it that get spoken about nowhere outside of it because people dont know anything about it beyond like very shallow surface level information which often involves the negative stereotypes like Sun Hot (True) and Crime (Kind of True but not as universally b ad as people think itis, its kind of like the us where it just depends alot of where you live in that regard)
