Flockload of Discussion (quest: >>/quest/1066631 ) Hello. My name is Cirr. I am an amateur quest make guy writing about a weird glass bird, long may it run this time. someone made me think a discussion thread would be a good idea
I like a bunch of Cirr's old quests but Flockload is more important right now.
>>141220 three, huh?
someone pointed out I never linked the interlude thread in this discussion thread so here it is: https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1077498.html
donated blood, felt bad for a few days, got insomnia, felt bad for a couple days, felt better, disrupted by going to a convention in London, get back home, RSI flareup how do I stop falling down these goddamn stairs
Damn, that's a tall staircase, hope you get a moment to rest and get well!
>>141349 Fluids and cultivating your qi, I guess.
You should probably take a couple of you days. And I don’t mean from the quest I mean in general. Set some time aside to just relax for a couple days. Play video games, watch some movies, hell just sleep all day if you need to. Just give yourself some time to relax and destress.
Marry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
I have decided that seeing as I seem to have completely run out of all available steam related to this planned set of "meanwhile, some other guys" stories, I'll be putting that on hold and getting back to the story that I seem to care significantly more about as soon as I can, sorry argh
>>141455 shit happens. Don't worry about it.
'S OK. You wanted a break, you took one, and now you're energized. That's what counts, in the end.
welcome back Cirr, hope your feeling better.
some explanations of what happened: - tried to enter a month long game jam starting February while still suffering from health issues I keep going to the GP about and cycling medications - was, for the first 2/3rds of the month, actually getting somewhere - suffer flare up of chronic condition that coupled with my current illness fucking stops everything that isn’t being in a world of unpredictable pain spikes - present day quest isn’t dead, i swear, but boy, at this rate i predict something new will go wrong with either my body, my apartment or my computer by the time i heal up because i am apparently no longer allowed good things
>>141728 you should have known about using CON as a dump stat IRL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZwfCNTp0Kk
>>141728 the curse the cuuuuuuuurse
>>141728 I'm a terminally online reader and sometimes suggestion maker of your quests and/or quest attempts from roughly since this image board began and I must say it's nice you're at least still trying.
so I don't make a habit of this but I made fundamental goofs with an image of the last update, so, uh, putting a corrected image here
Damn it Cirr, why do you make hot alien creatures.
I can't believe I haven't drawn Lightgreen yet, so have Lightgreen with a flocklett!
so how are constructs treated in the shapeless lords' territories? Are they seen as people or things? Like if one was made to chop wood but either sucked at it or wanted to try something else would they actually be reassigned or would they be scrapped and recycled for parts?
Bad news! So aside from the fact I've had an update written and not drawn for like 12-13 days at this point and I've been laid low by sickness, some temporary work surges and other unidentifiable malaise, I'm also going to be taking the entirety of February off from quests and such to participate in a game jam (which I'll mention again if I actually produce anything for it because my track record for succeeding in these things could not be lower recently). I wish I could keep up the manic pace I started the year off with but I always knew that was going to be impossible. I was always planning to take February off, but it just feels especially cruel with how the last couple weeks have shaken out with no update. I do intend to return! So far, Flockload's the only quest that I've taken long breaks from and thought "man I can't wait to get back to it" so the odds are good I'll resume in March (or slightly earlier if the game jam goes south). Thanks for reading the quest!!
man everyone has been getting sick this month. Anyways good luck with the game jam. See you when you get back.
>>143363 Alright, have fun with the game jam!
Good luck on the game jam!
>>143369 For real. >>143363 Ganbatte, Cirr-san!
well the game did happen, although it's not particularly Flockload related https://cloudbird.itch.io/cold-vessel updates resuming when I recover from the month of nothing but gamedev, someone scrape me off the floor into a bucket please
Congratulations on finishing the game. took me a hot minute to figure out you want your sliders to stay near the middle but I manage to beat it once I figured that out.
it's a good experience and I really appreciate that you compiled a Linux version. Each erotic furry card game about psychic battles of will that isn't bound solely to the sordid .exe is another blow against The Servant of Mammon's A.K.A The Literal Antichrist's A.K.A. Bill Gates' Embrace-Extend-Extinguish plantation also I'm starting to think that you have a fascination with pregnant women
whaaaaat noooo what could have ever given you that impression aside from the staggering mountain of evidence
Welcome back!
Bird up!
The Hashed purple text on the recent update, W### S#G###. the latter is definetely SIGNAL, so WILL SIGNAL?
>>143909 You're playing a very dangerous game.
>>143909 WEED SUGARS
>>143925 oh absolutely, unfortunatly, I knew just from looking at it that three letters is enough to know the whole thing, there ain't many 4 letter W words, and "Signal" is an arc-word it seems
>>143928 No, no, he's onto something. We can make up stupid nonsense to fit into the information hole to distract Vi.si if they start to think too much about it.
>>143933 It definitely says potato salad.
It's W.S. Gaster!!!
>>143935 I too enjoy powtato salgad.
>>143941 William Afton you say?! It all makes sense, he's even purple!
I get excited every time I see FoP has been bumped to page 1 and every time it has turned out to have been that German spambot we nuked the wrong Axis power
Hey Cirr, you doing ok? Saw something earlier and I just want to make sure you’re doing ok.
>>144094 The more spam bots I see the more I’m starting to see things your way.
I feel like the spambots are especially attracted to Flockload, I see them ramming it the most often. I wonder if they have the hots for Vi.si.mi.
they identify with the green robot people
there appears to have been some confusion with my wild whimsical prose that tends to avoid calling out specific character descriptions (due to my belief that this is usually redundant when an image is provided) so I am clarifying things here now i hope this helps
>>144207 does visimi canonically know what a sea cucumber is
maybe not by the same name but translation convention means I'm not trying to write this entire quest as some kind of horrifying black midi fugue song as it is, so sure
ok cool, how about vi.si.mi
>>144207 Understood!
