super duper kissy kissy animals go on an adventure and kick butt
anthony drew the first one and i noticed that melody was really small so instead of resizing her he went and drew ANOTHER adorable drawing of the party out of spite
here are some limited edition Super Lesbian Animal RPG valentines to give to that special someone tomorrow. or not. actually yeah don’t
different color schemes i tried out for melody and allison’s casual outfits in super lesbian animal rpg’s first trailer
the game opens with a scene set before melody has become a paladin, and therefore before she would have her Iconic™ healer outfit. so i thought it would be fun to give her a casual outfit just for that scene! it needed to be different from her normal color scheme because becoming a paladin is a big change for melody, and giving her a new palette when it happens is a good way to convey that visually. so i tried a bunch of different options. the one with the star above it is the final design i went with, which i chose because it reminded me of neapolitan ice cream, and that’s like, so cute? oh my god?
allison gets a different outfit in this scene too, because why not

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
Allison and Claire finally have mugshots! To celebrate, here’s some SLARPG screenshots featuring some dialogue with them. Wow, incredible. Good job, me
AT LONG LAST, after teasing her for months, here is the fourth protagonist of Super Lesbian Animal RPG, here to round out the party!!
Jodie Caldwell is a dependable tiger and a knight in training who uses her skills to keep her friends from getting hurt in and out of battle. Relatively wise for her age, not easily rattled, and readily supportive of those she loves, Jodie has become the de facto Mom Friend of the group. There’s no one Melody, Allison, and Claire would rather rely on in times of need, whether it’s a personal problem or a fight against otherworldly monsters. However, Jodie might be getting into some trouble of her own…
Jodie was designed with help from my co-writer @gyrostar, who came up with her hairstyle and the basis of her outfit. We’re both real excited for everyone to finally see her!!
And while Jodie is the last party member, this is still only the beginning, since we’ve got a colorful cast of NPCs that hasn’t even been touched upon yet!
i had to draw the girlfriends in winter outfits while it’s still winter
also, while i’ve got everyone’s attention, these two have last names now! melody and allison are now Melody Amaranth and Allison Goleta. and claire isn’t here but her last name is higsby
ROUND TWO: FIGHT!
this, by far, is my favorite thing i’ve ever made in my whole fricking life. like, i hadn’t actually talked to bobby *at all* about making character themes before this happened because the idea hit me like a brick house in the face and i literally could not stop working on it until it was finished.
the net result of that being me skyping bobby practically saying “so um idk if SLARP is going to need this but i made it anyway lol hi”Allison struck me as a character who’s brash, confident—maybe at times too much so—and eager to BEAT EVIL THE HECK UP. that, combined with her reliability, screamed “high-energy positive punk chip-rock” to me, so here we are. and, since she’s described as being thought to “love the sound of her own voice,” the song finishes off with an over-the-top solo that JUST WON’T QUIT (૭•̀ω•́)૭
one more theme to go!!! stay tuned…
see also: Claire’s theme!
another great new track for the game! this one’s really fun
i dug through all the WIP sprite layers i could find so i could put together this look at how the designs of melody, allison, and claire from super lesbian animal rpg have evolved
melody was the first one i designed, so i was still figuring out the art style as i made her. at one point she had what would become claire’s hairstyle, and she also went through the most costume revisions. allison started out looking a lot more passive with gentler eyes and floppy ears, and claire started out as a friendly-looking sheep, but i refined both of their designs to better reflect their personalities. i had a hard time figuring out allison’s palette, but the whole party ended up getting complementary color schemes that reflect their standard special abilities
