pharloom capitalism

whats that

rosary benches

thanks! :D i tried my best on the rosary beads :')

Anytime! I absolutely love the beads on his Great sword. The robe looks nice, too! It makes him look fancy and astonishing. I was also wondering if you could make his second form called TBoR, or The Bane of Rage. You can draw it... If you're free, of course! 🤩

Sure! i'm bored rn, so i wouldnt mind. got a sketch of TBoR?

Fortunately, I do!

also am i redrawing TBoR or am i redesigning him?

Redesigning. I usually make my OCs on Scratch.

oh i have a scratch acc too! :D (i prefer drawing in Canva it's much easier and the lines also kinda auto correct, since im on PC and im only using a mousepad)

i gotchu brb in a while. also can i make him taller?

Either way is fine. He can be the same height, and he can be a bit taller then his normal height. It's up to you, really. :3

"Oh i'll make him a bit taller" I say as i make him around the size of The Pure Vessel.

It's fine. He has three forms anyway.

ohhc an i see the thrid one?

I don't have a drawing of him unfortunately. All I can say is that he's a bit taller than The Pure Vessel and a lot monstrous than him.

bro my typing is buns

i gotchu bro >:j

reminds me of this guy

The resemblance is indeed a bit uncanny.

Wow, you're really good at replicating the artstyle!

thanks! :D

You're welcome! ^v^
Oh uh, any tips on designing a map for a game like that?

3d or 2d game, and is the art style similar to Hollow Knight?

Yes. It's a concept tho, but supposedly Hollow Knight based.

Well, i suggest you make the background actually layered, like you have sillihoulette of stuff in the frontmost layer, the ground and the player the second layer, any extra stuff you want to put in could be in the 4rth layer (optional) and the background at the very back. so when the player moves, the further things are, the slower it moves. If the game takes underground, stick with cooler colors, and keep things kinda dark, but not too dark

I kinda learned from a video that the layering may be partially 3d, but yeah.

okie. any other questions? (i am a semi-game developer, i kinda use Blender and is currently making something on Roblox studios and i do a small bit of block coding but i mostly design sprites and Roblox Studios maps.)

So, what like, things are needed? Like items-wise and such? Also, what's the best thing to focus on with combat so it isn't too much like the other two games?

in short just add things to keep it interesting but dont add an overwhelming amount

Ah. Yeah, that's fair. Also, should I make it a full horror thing, or just keep it to one character/area?

Ohh you could do both (make the bosses terrifying. like, more scary than seeing your own dad in the morning)

Oh, fair. I was thinking like Nosk, but he acts like a little weirdo most of the time.

i could help design some bosses (whem im motivated and not drawing another character). i can really draw some nightmarish stuff (i torture my math teacher everytime she gives me work) :D

Oh! Uh, that's nice? Sorry, I don't know what to say really.

she still gives me homework tho despite my scary drawings >:(

Understandable.

Well for combat mechcanics, i suggest you'd might wanna try having 3 main ones, (slash, stab, whatever) but maybe add one or two attack combos so the players wont have a hard time learning to fight and they wont be too bored. If you wanna make ombat mechcanics for bosses, i suggest they have TWO adifferent animations for the same attacks, so it would be diffucult for the players to guess the attacks, because most players beat bosses easily if they can learn the boss's attack pattern. Basic type of game you can start is like a quest, like maybe you have to defeat something or rescue someone. For items i'd say you could make a trading system, like some items you can only get by trading, and some items are key items to a sidequest or something.

Oooooh, okay.
