I think making a character isn't really low effort

autumn trellis
#

staring down my enemy

autumn trellis
#

okay so im ALMOST almost done this character. i have other things to do today but i still think its pretty likely that i finish the character today - certainly its gonna be this weekend

#

however; i think somethings wrong with my hurt animation. her eyes seem too small to make the curve slightly pushed towards the center, and she looks more like shes biting her lip than grimacing. what could i do about this?

trail copper
#

Just spitballing here but maybe you could raise the black pixels on the outer edges of the eyes up one pixel?

wraith trellis
#

Can u toss a 1x version of the sprite because I have an idea of what to do

autumn trellis
tribal sorrel
#

i think most of the face is fine but the brows arent matched up at all

wraith trellis
#

this is more of a stylistic thing but this is also how id do the nose

autumn trellis
#

thanks tremendously for the advice on the eyebrows; i cant believe i didnt think to widen the mouth. in retrospect im like that shouldve been obvious

wraith trellis
#

its ok

#

when ur drawing expressions you gotta draw how it feels more than how it looks

autumn trellis
#

NOW is when i shine rank????????????????????????

ripe lance
#

oh my god you don't even have 1-up rank

wraith trellis
#

laugh at this user

autumn trellis
#

yeah every so often i think about that

autumn trellis
#

i think i got kicked back some 30% of shine rank when the system change happened? iirc i was at like 80 and everyone got set to 50 of their current rank during the change

#

not that i wouldve had a higher rank now if not for that but i mightve got shine like a month or two ago

#

the nose is good but i think i want to lean into it being small nose chibi for anelace because thats part of her Thing
honestly part of me wants to make it even smaller but somehow i like. feel guilty if i make noses just a dot. bizarre emotional response to have but it feels like i'm cheating

wraith trellis
#

I feel like this is the best u can compromise while still giving the 3d shape of the nose

#

Given the resolution

autumn trellis
#

hrmm. see my response is to go "i dont really want to do that though" but im realizing i dont have much of a justification for Why

#

might just like. mini version

wraith trellis
#

I would put the darker pixel close to the middle/left bc that's where the shadow is mostly being cast

autumn trellis
#

thanks evolution for looking good for exactly one frame (the rest of the game looks awful)

#

thats all of the sprites done
even though the rest of the character is easy i dont actually know if ill finish her tonight because its really late. and i still want to make her a 3d model before i do a trailer for her (which im encouraged to do because bluesky doesnt do gifs, and also because fuuuuuckkkk im itching to use a trails song in something)

autumn trellis
#

nvm shes done. although im not releasing her yet on account of the 3d model

autumn trellis
#

there is maybe nothing funnier than a 16 player match on pico park with the "everyones one character" cheat and infinite voice clips password

#

also im finally moving casual koopas stats to 3 7 like they really always shouldve been

autumn trellis
#

its only now that i realize just how covered in stripes this character is. even when im cutting the ones i figure i should cut for clarity im still having to make her limbs longer just to fit them

autumn trellis
#

somehow its not exactly the same

autumn trellis
#

feeling like ten million brains rn

#

(the sprites just reuse the normal ones. which does mean they lose a tiny bit of functionality in that the sideways tricks don't use the head turn, but i think its worth it)

ripe lance
#

awesome

autumn trellis
#

this does mean making my entire pack a lua pack, which i Think basically nobody cares about these days, but if im gonna do that i should at least go back and add trick animations to my other modeled characters

#

which annoyingly means i cant push this update yet even though i want to So Bad

autumn trellis
#

@ripe lance if you have a minute id like to ask you something

ripe lance
#

sure

autumn trellis
#

so i'm trying to get an in game video of my 3d model characters. the trouble is, i can't have them steer to turn because then they do their steering animation. and I can't find anywhere where theres a 360 view of absolutely blank screen, not even getting myself out of bounds with noclip in test run
so i'm going to try to make a track that's a single pure black ground tile floating in space
for something like this, does it make more sense to do that from scratch? or should i take an existing map like test run and remove everything in it

ripe lance
#

from scratch

#

i learned to use the map editor by watching youtube videos of the similar ones for srb2

autumn trellis
#

okay thanks
i have the guides pinned in the kart krew channel opened rn

autumn trellis
#

i'm a fool.

#

i got it to work but then realized my scheme wouldnt work anyway because it relies on my "swing the camera around 36 times" command, and that looks really janky for a promo gif. i realized the solution is just to change that command to do angle instead of cam_rotate, which works great and also means i didnt need the blank void

autumn trellis
#

now all i have to do is get a trailer out for anelace (because i have been just dying to put trails music in Something) and i can get this update out

tribal sorrel
#

id prolly swap profreshional onto the other side

#

the mii style nose is a lil funny looking from this angle

autumn trellis
#

anelace only has one shoulder pad thing though and id like it to face the camera

would love to get a session in this weekend if we've got the time

zinc vapor
#

I'll be available

autumn trellis
#

@tribal sorrel @wraith trellis @ripe lance @left badge @zinc vapor anyone wanna ring race

zinc vapor
#

hold on a bit

#

im ready if anyone else is

ripe lance
#

NVJR deluxe removed girlpack (for the new kirby pack)

#

it's over

wraith trellis
#

what

#

why did they do that

ripe lance
#

server owner is a huge kirby fan so it takes priority

ripe lance
#

no cloud strife or dr. neo cortex... fml

tribal sorrel
#

sad

autumn trellis
#

im back to only being on two servers now that astro network cycled me back out

#

but its a relief that when its not the stray banana regulars people actually do use my characters sometimes

#

and particularly my followers. and Extra particularly, people really seem to love king crimson, whereas i thought i phoned that one in. and diavolos not nearly as popular somehow

autumn trellis
#

I Will Not Be Petty In Kart Krew. I Will Not Point Out The Arrogance Of Sonic Spriterip Guy Going "you gotta put in the effort"

zinc vapor
#

Do any of you have any good ring racers servers I could join?

autumn trellis
#

i walked up to stray banana at the last second of the 1 hour session cause i was eating apples, level of the week was sunsplashed getaway, i won it with a ridiculous invincigrow push. i was like "i dont get why people dislike sunsplashed", after playing it i now remember why. sunsplashed sucks. this is my first time winning level of the week

ripe lance
#

i don't really know what any of this means besides sunsplashed getaway and stray banana

autumn trellis
#

super has never heard of apples

trail copper
#

hasn’t super literally talked to applez

autumn trellis
#

recklessrock has never heard of apples

zinc vapor
#

What are apples

trail copper
#

setta has never heard of apples

ripe lance

it's true

#

@wraith trellis is that kiryu's color

wraith trellis
#

Looks like it

autumn trellis
#

about to go to sleep, but first
ive decided its finally time for me to make proper promo gifs. my old ones are servicable but barebones with a lot of stuff left to text, and for a few characters i couldnt even be bothered to do the normal one. i also need a reason to refresh my MB post, because the koopalings have a huge flavor text block and on one else gets anything
this new one is still pretty simple, but im really happy with having Everyone on the graph. thats the one idea ive had locked in for months, is having everyone's minimap icons on the graph

ripe lance
#

looks cool

#

having everyone's minimaps is a good touch

autumn trellis
#

ive spent a long time thinking of my pack as "how close am i to a full 16 racer lobby", so it hasnt felt like tha tmany. but when i put it like this im like "wow actually that is a lot of characters"

#

also in the bottom right the arrows are for modded characters. blue is for my pack gold is for other packs

autumn trellis
#

what did i mean by this

autumn trellis
#

in the process of making sure i got exactly 3000, i finally discovered that "win" doesnt mean "1st place". i think its "every time your win sfx plays for the results"

vale tiger
#

I AM THE GAMER

autumn trellis
#

oh my fucking god

#

so every so often now i check the master server website to see if i can play on any servers running my pack

#

and i realize that one of the two servers that consistently hosts my pack (but is too far away for me to have a good connection) has a discord

#

so i join it and look for if there's mentions of me

#

turns out, not only are there, but they hate me??? and not even because of my pack, they seem to think i'm a pathetic player and part of the woke mob because of my kart krew messages

#

this is fucking wild

ripe lance
#

people are so normal

autumn trellis
#

im a little vindicated in knowing that that one time where i was like "i think people are a little too comfy meming pregnant man emote as 'cursed'" the reason i got so much pushback is that there was a coordinated group of people who already agreed that i was cringe

#

they have a blanket ban on politics in their server except for memes. aint that just the way

wraith trellis
#

God

autumn trellis
#

before joining i was gonna say "hey, thanks for sticking with my pack all this time!" and maybe tell them to update it since its 6 months out of date. but hell if im sending a single message in that server jesus christ

#

not even the reactionaries play my characters unless they roll them as heavy magician. okay i think thats enough

#

i guess im glad i checked...? but sheesh

tribal sorrel
#

if theyre on the master server list you can prolly reach out to kart krew and report them

autumn trellis
#

yeah, but like. that whole initial conversation was In kart krew. its not like ive uncovered anything new beyond "they're annoying". they have no bigotry rules so its not like they're mask off in there

#

also not that i think i was even completely right during that. reading it back i was pretty heavy handed

tribal sorrel
#

most of the people on staff is queer

#

you can get them kicked out

#

that sounds like htey suck

autumn trellis
#

holy shit i was like "haaa. yeah, you're right. i guess i really should do it" and i rejoin again and THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ME

tribal sorrel
#

what channel

autumn trellis
#

oh are you also in it? its called lounge

#

i do have to run everything through google translate but whenever i come up they say "id love to get rid of this guy but he'll complain to kart krew and get us banned"

tribal sorrel
#

wait what server is this in

autumn trellis
#

aneis do poder

tribal sorrel
#

i thought it was in kart krew

#

oh idk what that is

autumn trellis
#

its a portugese server. i only know about it because its one of two dedis with my pack

tribal sorrel
#

okay i got turned around

tribal sorrel
#

not anything subsequent, beyond the server which is on the master server list

#

right

autumn trellis
#

yes

#

sorry i didnt specify

#

this is the Server Owner lmao

tribal sorrel
#

you should leave the other discord and report the RR server

#

yea sounds like you should do it

#

fuck these guys

#

but also you shouldnt seek out things like this cus no good really ever comes from it

autumn trellis
#

i mean i really thought this was just gonna be "oh, these people know who mazinger Z is! that's fun" i didnt realize This was the environment

#

i guess i have to like. collect screenshots and type up a DM. even for this being a pretty insulated thread i am conscious that this is still public 1upw so i wont talk through the whole thing

wraith trellis
#

It's crazy that these guys won't for a second question if they're in the wrong in some way

autumn trellis
#

wow i just wrapped up getting the last screenshot i needed and they banned me

tribal sorrel
#

there you go

autumn trellis
#

waiting for tyron to accept my discord dm rn
i had to specify several times "the reason im reporting this is not because of some personal sense of pride or spite", and that is true, but like. i am feeling some personal sense of pride or spite problems. whys it Me Specifically they're rallying against. its like the instagram thing again

tribal sorrel
#

its ok you are more than justified these guys are freaks and assholes

#

just keep in mind the most you'd get done is get the server taken off the master list

#

cus the rest of its offsite

autumn trellis
#

well yeah like. these people have minimal overlap with me. if i was only looking out for myself i would just leave them alone

#

im doing this cause im like "i mean. i Should. that is the right thing to do here"

#

actually thats not relevant to what you just said nvm

#

i at least am more confident in being right about this because one of them complained about me suggesting a name filter

#

which was me very tepidly saying "okay ill concede that maybe it really is possible to rely on server mods for this. but i think its at least Worth Considering not letting people type slurs without so much as an asterisk"

#

truly the most mild way i couldve phrased that

gilded olive
#

i'm so sorry casual

#

what fucking assholes

autumn trellis
#

curse of having way too many things on my mind rn and either being unable or unmotivated to act on Any of them

wraith trellis
#

Yeah same

autumn trellis
#

would love to at least get this report in so i can stop compulsively checking my dms

#

not that i ever really broke that habit but this doesnt help

ripe lance
#

you may have to ping tyron about it

#

or i guess i could do that for you in his server

autumn trellis
#

i guess so? i didnt want to do it in public because the guys im reporting would presumably see that

#

not that they Wont know its me but it still feels unwise to do it right in front of them

#

there is also a listed email in the ms rules but my email has my full name and i still havent fully accepted linking that to my online presence

ripe lance
#

should i go for it or not

autumn trellis
#

so yeah id appreciate that

ripe lance
#

tyron says he hasn't received any dm's from you

#

i guess you need to send me what you meant to send over to them

autumn trellis
#

oh no i sent a friend request because i tried sending a message and i got told off by clyde

#

its 3 messages and like 9 images so it might be a little cumbersome to relay it all through you

autumn trellis
#

thanks

autumn trellis
#

me when any concept of spritework falls out of my brain
even considering she reuses a lot of anelace, i get a frame of estelle (front) done this morning and im like "im on top of the world. this is easy breezy. my futures looking bright." then i start on joshua (blue) and ive immediately forgotten all concepts of how to do anything
you would think a guy standing upright would be easier but im too used to this one exact pose

#

I'm assuming this is tied to the Carnival Night barrel follower and if so that's actually kind of a significant gameplay modification for a follower to be able to have

tribal sorrel
#

its in the lua channel so its probably just a custom gameplay mod in its own right

ripe lance
#

yea it is
