Let’s talk NPCs! Here’s a better look at the three new characters who briefly appeared in Super Lesbian Animal RPG’s first trailer

  • Jodie’s girlfriend Faith is probably the most talented magic user in Greenridge, which is why she’s already got a job as Greenridge’s democratically elected town Guardian at age 24. As the island’s last line of defense, Faith knows a wide variety of spells, and she commands the town’s paladins. When she’s not up to her eyeballs in work, Faith enjoys doing a little painting and hanging out with Jodie. She was designed by my bf @exclamationpointman​ based on some guidelines from me
  • Mona is the sole employee of the Greenridge Public Library, where Claire spends much of her time. Claire makes Mona’s job very difficult and they do not get along. Anthony wanted the librarian to be a mouse and provided her design for me, although I ended up tweaking her a bit
  • And lastly, Noel is a mysterious, plant-like stranger that the gang meets out in the woods. They seem to know a lot about the forest, but they aren’t the most talkative with strangers

There are many more NPCs where these three came from! Stay tuned for more down the line

what’s up it’s almost 8am and i just spent like two hours tweaking the first drawing of claire from a year ago to make her significantly more on-model so my header looks better (old on the left, new on the right)

this was getting saved for super lesbian animal rpg’s first trailer (which i hope to finish before christmas), BUT the trailer is going to have so much new stuff that it can’t hurt to show off one little thing ahead of time

so this is one of the enemies from the original game, the malcontent mummy! she might actually be the recurring enemy i was most proud of back in 2013. but she, like everything else, is getting a fresh coat of paint for the new version. and i’m very, very proud to see how my art’s improved in the last three years

FINALLY! a theme for SLARPG’s late-joining fourth party member, Jodie Caldwell.

it’s been a while, hasn’t it? the themes for Melody, Allison and Claire were all finished within a couple of weeks of each other, nearly a year ago now. at the time, Jodie was still under wraps and a lot of who she is as a character was still up in the air, so her theme was put on hold. but even as @ponett​ fleshed out her personality, this theme was trapped in development hell for months. this marks the fourth attempt at writing a theme for Jodie, each previous one being both drastically different and totally unfitting. but at long last, here we are.

Bobby describes Jodie as a nearly “archetypical hero” — justice-driven, stoic, humble, and kind. she comes from a working class background and is most fulfilled by work and activities that are physically engaging. as such, i felt that her song would be one that is understated, driving, and valiant, with a bluesy, faintly western vibe. that makes this the only character theme to date that is primarily in a minor key!

that said, Jodie has a softer side as well: she is protective of her friends, especially Melody, even to a fault. that called for a more delicate and uplifting chorus to punctuate this theme. the result is a song that, after multiple failed attempts, is finally—hopefully—truly representative of who Jodie is.

i hope you enjoy this track. there are more SLARPG themes on the way—stay tuned for more! <3

it’s been a long time coming! but bee and i are very excited to finally let y’all hear the theme for everyone’s favorite lesbian tiger knight!!!

“here’s jodie chilling as an npc in her casual wear towards the beginning of the game! i was gonna save this for SLARPG’s first trailer, but i feel like i haven’t been able to show off hardly anything with jodie even though y’all love her. so...

here’s jodie chilling as an npc in her casual wear towards the beginning of the game! i was gonna save this for SLARPG’s first trailer, but i feel like i haven’t been able to show off hardly anything with jodie even though y’all love her. so here’s a lil something to show i’m still making progress

ponett:

I haven’t been able to talk about hardly anything I’ve been working on lately for SLARPG because it’s all stuff that I wanna reveal in the trailer, but here’s a lil something I CAN show you: Holly’s mugshot!

it’s pretty much just a redraw of Anthony’s original concept art, but hey, I think it turned out nice

(also ignore that extremely WIP fountain in the plaza)

ponett:

melody, allison, and claire from SLARPG finally have all of their walk cycles! i put off animating these for quite a while since i technically didn’t need them for screenshots or for a lot of testing, but it’s really nice to walk around town without having them repeatedly disappear because some of their animation frames don’t exist yet

jodie will get the rest of her sprites later

ponett:

Allison and Claire finally have mugshots! To celebrate, here’s some SLARPG screenshots featuring some dialogue with them. Wow, incredible. Good job, me

ponett:

I’ve been working on NPCs for SLARPG lately, and these are some of them! I was gonna save them for the upcoming trailer, but considering how much new stuff is gonna be in the trailer and how little of that involves these relatively minor characters, I figured I might as well reveal them now to finally give everyone a taste of the game’s townsfolk

These three are Greenridge’s paladins, sworn protectors of the town

  • Holly (the biggest one) is a healer who also happens to have superhuman strength. She’s pretty cool, and she’s a friend of Melody’s
  • Rhett (the smallest one) has a very large sword
  • And Lady Provence (the mediumest one) is their no-nonsense leader and the group’s defense specialist

These three (along with a lot of other NPCs) were designed by my boyfriend @exclamationpointman​–hopefully some of y’all recognize his art style in that concept art up top. They’re not the most important characters, but they’re all fun additions to the game’s colorful cast, and Anthony and I both hope you like them!
