JUICY PUPPETEER LORE IDEA
WHAT IF HE'S NOT THE HIGHEST GOD
RATHER A MORTAL CHOSEN BY THE HIGHEST GOD TO FULFILL A DARK PROPHECY

what if crystals formed a hall of mirrors
you know
to actually make a fun house

Perhaps for some rooms

Alright

What if there was a part where you had to chase Fictor down and you could only see him in the reflection of the crystals

yes
What if this was after he was actually fearful and had a chance of actually being defeated
kinda like Dr. Breen

He wouldn't be fearful (1: He's God, and 2: He's f**king nutty)
I'm thinking it would be more to mess with the heroes

Ah

What if before making your way to Fictor's Funhouse, EVERYONE cheered you on and said they believed in you
Even the Puppets

YES.

"Now, kid... you didn't just beat us, you showed us who's boss."
"We were no problem for you! And this guy won't be either!"

YESSS

What if the music in Fictor's Funhouse was slow and creepy, opposed to Puppet Palace's fast, intense, epic music

Yes.

Eventually you break through a crystal mirror and have to go through a mirrored version of the Funhouse, with reversed music

Yes
What if they break through said mirror on accident
they're just chasing him really fast and they run right through a crystal

Exactly what I was thinking

Probably at the cost of some hp

Yes

Unique enemy ideas

Fictesque - a small creature that borrows the likeness of Fictor
Pupplet - a tiny Puppet that moves VERY fast
Gembug - a beetle-type enemy made entirely of crystals
Smiley - 🙂

What if there were enemies that were like
Boids

?

A boid is a thing used in 3d animation and games
Think a school of fish or flock of birds
That is made of boids
What if there were clusters of crystalline boids

Ohhhh

So how about it

Possible

Alright

What if the Puppeteer was lying on the floor in his former throne room, injured from a mix of the battle and Fictor

yes

"Heroes... I have made... a dire... mistake...
I betrayed the world... what I loved most... in favor of power and riches. I know you cannot forgive me...

But I have no doubt that you can right my wrongs."

yes

Ok I'll stop now

no I find this VERY interesting

repeated all-lowercase "yes" doesn't express that at all
Anyway
I'm thinking there would be a long exposition cutscene here

well the don't say no
anyway
Absolutely

We should continue this on a private image

Yeah

Beautiful

So what else

Definitely multiple different forms

He would definitely take over the Puppet Palace and change it, making you go through it one final time

Yes

And there would be "Crystalline" enemies

Yes.

All-blue variants of the enemies

yes

Their attacks pierce defense because they're made of sharp crystals

also yes

The Palace is rebranded to Fictor's Funhouse :)

I kinda want his head to be smaller
like, flip the design upside down
Or maybe even like this

Ok I've got an idea for the design

Oh?

What if his head is made of a shattered crystal, and his face is distorted like when you look in a shattered mirror

Yes

The design I have in mind is definitely more humanoid

Ah
Maybe arm-like crystal growths
That like
Break and regrow to make different arm shapes
And when they break they go into the broken cluster

Yes

Yes

Yes
what if his body was crystalline, stemming from some form of those stones

What if he's actually f**king geeking
Like just absolutely nutty
Like Jevil cranked up to a million

Yes
Also I kinda see him as monstrous

?

Like
This is a sketch of him

Maybe for his "final phase" or whatever

Alright

Yeah

Had the peakest idea

YES.

Yes.

"I saw horrors beyond comprehension and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"

What should the clown god guy's name be

Gestour
(The original spelling of "jester", derived from the Latin root meaning "recite a tale")

Potential

Fictor. Latin for dreamer

Ahhh
Yes, much better

It's apparently Latin for both dreamer and maker. Which is... terrifyingly fitting

Probably explains why the same root is used in "fiction"

I plan on his design taking inspiration from Reclusa

Then it will be peak

I need ideas though
I'm thinking maybe parts of his design could involve that same purple stone that the Visions are made of

OOOOHHH

WHAT IF THE PUPPETEER FIGHT ISN'T THE FINAL BOSS

YES

DUDE HOLY SHIT

this is insane

WHAT IF AFTER THE PUPPETEER FIGHT THE GOD WAKES UP AND BEGINS SPREADING THE GLADE OF MISDIRECTION, SLOWLY TURNING THE WHOLE WORLD INTO A DEMENTED DREAMSCAPE

YESSSS

and what if said god is an insane evil jester/clown. like reclusa or jevil or marx or dimentio

Lian in a shirt that says "I met god. He's clown."

LMFAO
That will definitely be the name of an achievement you get after the god wakes up
