i darkened Super Lesbian Animal RPG’s forest palette a bit to make it spookier and make the glowy bits stand out more. also, something new
(finally remembered to take some screenshots for screenshot saturday again after either not having anything ready to share or just forgetting every week for like forever)
i posted a rough mockup of the restaurant where Claire and Beverly work in Super Lesbian Animal RPG on twitter a while back, but now it’s actually done! wow
my favorite part of designing buildings for greenridge is always adding all the little flowers on the roof
hello this is the most important update in the history of super lesbian animal rpg’s development
here everyone have some very important dialogue screenshots
before this gets even more notes from people saying “i don’t know what this is from but i like it” this is from my upcoming game Super Lesbian Animal RPG
A couple weeks ago I shared some new NPCs from Super Lesbian Animal RPG. Now, here’s a look at @exclamationpointman‘s wonderful concept art for them! Beverly and Chet were designed based on some rough ideas and guidelines from me, while the cats were all his idea
Anthony originally envisioned the cat family as an old wizard and his two granddaughters, but I later realized that the game sorely needed more women over the age of 30. I’d hate to accidentally fall into the common character design trap where all the girls are young and cute, while the guys can be weird and old and unattractive (like Bartholomew with his beautiful, beautiful squashed face). So Anthony redesigned Catherine, making her an unassuming, middle aged gardener/witch who smokes, and I instantly fell in love with the design
Rhett’s brother’s design actually went through the OPPOSITE process–he originally looked a lot more gruff in a piece of scrapped concept art, but I told Anthony to soften his design and make him cuter. SLARPG may focus on girls, but we still need some cute boys in there too!!
Super Lesbian Animal RPG’s presskit and FAQ have both been updated! Go have a look. In the meantime, here’s a smattering of fresh screenshots (of old content that’s been touched up a bit) I took for said presskit and FAQ updates
I wanted to draw a new group shot of the Super Lesbian Animal RPG party to replace the rapidly aging 2015 promo art and whoops!! It ended up taking the better part of a week, because I made it the most intricate piece of digital art I’ve ever drawn. But it’s really nice to have a new piece of art to represent the game with the whole party together in an actual environment
It’s been a while since I had anything substantial to show from Super Lesbian Animal RPG, with much of what I’m working on being spoilers. So let’s fix that with some new NPCs (who I’d previously talked about on my Patreon)!
Starting at the top left:
Beverly, by far the most significant character of this bunch, works in a restaurant in Greenridge and is friends with our protagonists. Beverly doesn’t really get herself involved with dangerous magical adventures, thinking that it’s all way over her head, but her optimistic attitude will make her a good friend to have in these trying times. Claire works at the same restaurant and has a crush on her
Chet is Rhett’s brother. He’s very buff, and he has a desk job in the Guardian’s Tower. He’s nice
Catherine is a middle aged cat lady who runs a local magic shop. You’ll probably be giving her a lot of business. When not running said shop, she takes care of many of the flowers seen around town
Pepper is Catherine’s young daughter. Her grandpa has told her too many stories from his youth about his many adventures. When she grows up, she wants to be evil
And finally, Bartholomew is Pepper’s grandpa (and Catherine’s regular pa). He is old
All of these characters were designed by @exclamationpointman with some guidance and revisions from me. I’ll probably post his concept art for them soon. These sprites were a long time coming!
been sprucing up the intro of SLARPG tonight! i improved the nighttime palette that i was never quite happy with and tweaked the sprites a bit (mainly melody’s face and arms). also finally made night palette versions of the new grass tiles. old version (from the december trailer) is on the left, new on the right
I previously showed off the newly renovated downstairs portion of Melody’s house in Super Lesbian Animal RPG, and now here’s how it’s looking upstairs! The fact that her house has a bathroom definitely without a shadow of a doubt makes this the most ambitious 16-bit-ish JRPG ever conceived
Melody’s house in Super Lesbian Animal RPG has gotten a much needed fresh coat of paint! I was never quite happy with the original palette that matched melody’s color scheme, but it’s feeling very cozy now
Melody’s house will be one of several locations shown in the Patreon-supported SLARPG prologue comic, so it’s good to have a finalized color palette before I have to draw it
