little concept doodle page to kick us off, featuring a bunch of idle font testing and a relatively bland veil design that i'm glad i chewed on some more lol. those dezzes are cute as hell tho

HOWDY! Sorry about the multiposting before, I´m new to questden and the posting etiquette. Excited to keep contributing and following along.

no problem at all!! it's not really a firmly codified ettiquette thing afaik, and i think different quest authors vary in how they feel about it, but my threads tend to get very long (to the point where eventually they'll struggle to load) and i like them to not be TOO hefty for backreading, so i prefer to point people over to the disthread sooner rather than later! and in this case the disthread didn't even exist before today lol

i waffled a little on whether to drop these bc at first i was like ehhhhh but it's really fun and good that u don't know Anything abt the other techs BUT then i got really charmed by the idea that necrotech99 readers having access to the necrotech99 pinboards is kind of very lore-appropriate to the ossuary having really vague memories of a lot of the characters...!

plus if someone would rather go in totally blind they can just not look at them. it's all just for funsies anyway no genuinely important plot info will ever be confirmed or denied by a pin on a pinterest board lmao... BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY. i think the pinboards are fun and cute

so! consider this a repository of the ossuary's vague useless echoing memories and consider it fun but unreliable. wheeeee: https://pin.it/35VSAfHq5

kicking my feet having soooo much fun with this story!!!

i just want to say i love the idea of ossuaries so much! really cool way to involve the players and just a rad idea in general, having a bunch of ghosts in your head giving you advice/shit all the time.

File Vittorio_is_having_a_bad_time_possibly.mp4 - (1.23MB , Vittorio is having a bad time possibly.mp4 )

do you guys thiunk Vittorio is doing alright

>>143120
Yeah!! We're (a) character(s)! legit, in-universe! no fourth wall breaking stuff required (fun as that is). It's so cool.

I'm very excited to continue with this, the setting's fascinating, the characters are great. I like our protagonist, the ridiculous little idiot. (/affectionate)

Also, are you planning on aiming for any particular schedule, or just whenever you've got time and there's enough replies?

>>143121
still exactly as obsessed w this as i was when u first showed it to me. thank you

>>143119
TY!!! i am too >:3

>>143120
>>143123
thank u so much!!! yeah the ossuary/twitch-plays-quest-protag format is something i test ran a long long time ago in an abandoned quest but weirdly enough, despite it being the coolest thing about that story, it was honestly kind of the thing i spent the least amount of attention/energy on??? so it's very gratifying to come back to it but this time in a story where it's way more center stage

i'm also just fond of it bc it's woven into the lore/culture of the setting in a way very inspired by/affectionate towards how questers as a group tend to engage with stuff ime over the years doing this. everyone is focused on/prioritizes different things and that's GOOD and helpful to the protag ur guiding!

as for a schedule: optimistically i would like to aim for once every week or two, depending on what else i have going on irt my workload etc, but trying to pin down a strict update schedule for quests has never worked for me!

>>143121

He´s fiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeee

>>143118

I can't help but feel like Appeal's pinboard is more or less just an advertisement for wetwork, lol.

I looove how graphic the panels are getting. the bold colors, the emphasis on expressiveness and mood. it sets the scene really well and I think it's a Great contrast to how clear and linear the text can be

Glaive pinboard is showing off a lot of very cool cyberpunk body parts. .....and we´re stuck in Dez instead now. WE NEED TO UPGRADE HER, STAT

I'm so jazzed I'm so excited about this thing. I've got to get a friend or two interested so I can chatter at them about it also.

Pinboard suggests Glaive was/is sexier than anybody else here. I hope they're intact somewhere, even though they're Mz.Caused an ontological mystery and an Incident for Reasons.

not just because I want to see glaive in more detail because hot. but partially.

very amused by the revelation that Glaive Cave is something she called us herself. I assumed that was a Vittorio thing.
(am I right to be she/theying glaive I don't know if I remember or made that up)

very Very excited to transfer between. whatever. hell yeah let's be in multiple places at once.

Rambling here partly in an attempt to not post *way* too many times in the main thread. Not sure if successful yet.

Also Desideratum is my new vocal stim. not familiar with the word, but very pleasant to say. Desideratum.

me reading about how we can travel between....who knows what. IC assuming its between Osspops but maybe its between....different iterations of Glaives osspop? Since it was noted she split us up.

Either way I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE

i'm glad u guys are having fun sniffing at the pinboards lol...! they are very fun for me to work on. i sit around on pinterest to unwind all the time so over time these boards will def grow

>>143126
thank u!! i'm having a lot of fun playing w color and finding ways to keep the art style expressive and (relatively) fast lol

>>143178
omg thank u... makes me smile to imagine ppl chatting w friends abt this story. :D

pulling back the curtain on a necrotech99 thing: the audience is essentially creating the character of glaive's ossuary as we go (via me putting the tone and personality of all suggestions into a blender and then adjusting the tone and characterization of the narration accordingly)

and to keep that consistent over time (vs it fluctuating update to update based on what i immediately remember lol) i have a little document where i'm jotting down broad observational strokes about how nt99 questers are Playing the oss as a collaborative player character. im not showing you everything but here's some first impressions from these first few updates so far

thank u to the suggestor who first referred to individuals in an ossuary population as "geists" btw. i love that and i'm slurping it and making it canon terminology

>>143183
Any quest that let's me be both pragmatic and fucking unhinged makes me a happy suggester!

Also, I still wanna eat Vittorio! If only so Dez can gain the from-the-ground fisheye perspective disco-walk energy I like to imagine he possesses!
