Now that I have time to work on HALL, and TGchan is back up and running I can get back into updating this quest daily!

Whooo~!

>>97577
Woo! Good to hear. Andrew is adorkable.

>>94495
Were all of the characters designed to look so miserable?
Cinnamon's lesser quality sprite makes her eyebrows look like crying eyes, and paired with Andrew's whole "Man this day has been rough" look to him, it breaks my heart.

>>97662
Andrew is designed to look tired while Cinnamon is designed to look like she's nervous (and who wouldn't be in a place like that?). Then you've got your merchants: Malachite, and Cafetite; those guys are weird. They're just smiling all the damn time.

Woah what? Not only are they aware of the audience, they're aware of who the protagonist is?
This opens up a whole realms of possibilities. Have we, the audience, been a part of this world for a while? Is the legend about how we will select a protagonist and follow them throughout their existence?
My my my, this is a strange development

So, I'm genuinely curious... what do you guys like and dislike about this quest so far? I'd love to know what I can improve on.

(Also, have Andrew drawn in a different style.)

>>98869
geeze, from the thumb I thought he was jerkin it

nice

as for the question, I got latched in initially ny the cartoony artstyle, though I'm in serious need of some catch-up.

>>98870
Heh, I wouldn't make Andrew do that at all. He's not big on sexual actions.

But I'd say it shouldn't take too long to catch up? Then again, that all depends on how many quests you're looking at... and the amount of time you have to spare... hm. I dunno then.

>>98869
Aww, that's pretty cute.

So far, I really like Andrew, partially because I always relate to the tired, world weary characters, and the creative ideas shown so far are pretty promising for later game. If there is any problem, it's jut that there doesn't really feel like there's a bigger goal than "leave this room nd go to the next one."
Still, I'm excited to see what weird, psychedelic visuals we'll see by the end of this. I hate to compare this to Ruby Quest because that seems too obvious, but with the two main characters in a surreal environment trying to make it out the best they can certainly draws similarities.
Also, this very much feels like an homage to Lovecraft. The protag being adverse to perversity and strong language seems to reflect H.P.L.'s own attitude to sexuality. Will we ever get an explanation for his comfortableness with sexuality or will that remain untold?

>>98869
Cute! Andrew is pretty adorable.

As for critique, like >>98984 said, i think the quest needs to spice up the scenes a bit more, rather than being doing puzzle room 1 to go to puzzle room 2.

>>98984
>>98992
Alright, I'll try to keep that in mind as I update the quest.

>>98984
Truth be told, I know very little about Lovecraft. I keep meaning to read some of his books but I'm easily distracted. More or less, HALL gets its inspiration from P.T., the Silent Hills demo. Down to the repeating hallway and all. As for Andrew's feelings towards sexuality? I've got no idea if it'll be explained later. A lot of this is unplanned, which might end up messy later on.

>>99004
> As for Andrew's feelings towards sexuality? I've got no idea if it'll be explained later.
Honestly i don't feel that this is something that really needs to be explored in depth. I like the idea of Andrew being rather awkward and/or shy when its something about sex though.

Maybe explain what his preference(s) is/are, and maybe throw him into one or two puzzles that may involve doing some embarrassing stuff (probably not explicit though).

Anyways, I feel like I should post this "joke-panel". I'm always really tempted to put something stupid here and there, but usually, it ends up getting scrapped. This is one of those cases. And for a good reason.

As if my original version wasn't bad enough.

Knuckles has become afraid of his inner-self.

>>99004
i cant really reccomend his work honestly,
much like Freud is he's only really influential through the novelty of what he did

his writing is middling outside of monster descriprions and cthulhu got his shit wrecked by a danged tugboat, the least scary naval platform imagineable

he was also hilariously racist even by the standards of his time

>>99348
It's the little things like this that make a good quest great imo. I love when authors make little jokes like this.

Heheh, daily updates? Of course, when I say that I get pelted again with work. I'm going to try to find a way to get this into my schedule the best I can, for now, I should be able to do either Saturdays or Sundays.

o hey, canon colors! I can correct that fanart I did way back when now

>>100414
It's pretty much just a more saturated version of the colors you used before. :P The card is a little on the pink side due to the lighting, however.

>>100415
Are they? They look way different from the creams and browns I went with, but it has been a while!

>>100461
Most of the differences you might be seeing is in the clothing. Andrew's shirt is lighter than his jeans. Added, Andrew's shoes have a strange design on them. (Basically, I used the colors you used (albeit saturated, and some a color swap between the shirt and jeans) because I thought they fit Andrew pretty well) :3c

>>100412
Nice. Andrew looking cute as always. Curious to see how the other characters will look like in the detailed versions.

>>100412
Found the piece, his fur color is definitely different than this!
I'll be reworking it regardless, it'll be good to revisit it and touch it up

Hey, not to be rude or anything, but if Thread 1 is complete, you should report it as a completed thread to one of the mods.

>>100905
Did that when I started Thread 2, I had nearly forgotten to do that, however.

Hi Golde, Cursing guy here.
My suggestion was deleted by a mod.
If this was your doing, in the future do you want me to Tone Things Down or Cease and Desist?

>>101683
Huh? I actually had nothing to do with it, in fact, I got a chuckle out of it. Sad to hear that the suggestion got deleted, but I don't think I can really do much to get it back.

Perhaps it was seen as too excessive?

>>101684
lol I was actually banned for a day too. The only reason given was "Stop making bad posts"
I don't know what that really means :/.
I suppose I should ask on IRC. Ugh. IRC. I hate IRC.

In any case. I Suppose I will carry on then. I don't know why it would have been too excessive. It's not like I'm promoting illegal acts or spewing racial slurs.
Maybe I'll post a watered down version of it. I dunno.
As long as my shenanigans don't bother you, the author... I don't see the fuckin' problem. :p
Anyway thank you for clearing that up kind sir. :)

>>101688
If you got banned for posting a specific sort of thing and you explicitly got told to stop doing that, it means the mod wants you to stop doing that. I don't see how that's at all unclear. Might still be worth asking on IRC and seeing if you can defend yourself, point out the author doesn't mind.

>>101689
Probably what I'll end up doing. Issue is the word "bad" is vague at best and totally subjective at worst.
What about the post was bad? Was it the deleted post or a an unrelated one somewhere else that I missed or forgot? Was it was a pattern across threads? What constitutes bad? Did I break a rule or is this an unwritten thing? Is this the opinion of one mod or a consensus?
It's unclear because I literally don't know what it was that they want me to correct. I have a vague idea, but no certainties. In order to reliably comply I'd literally have to just not post anything at all.

>>101692
this kind of stuff's been pretty common lately. they see most of the posts hete, so hete's to those mods:
stop that.
be specific so people can do better, and if you aren't getting author or user complaints evaluate if it's a good moderation choice or personal bias.

This is an issue I ran into a lot with some updates for HALL.
The paper-thin style is pretty heavily inspired by PaRappa the Rapper, but it also has a bit of inspiration from some things I used to do with paper when I was tiny, and using this style has made it a bit hard to work with at times (Mostly with moments a character should be looking to the side). At least I have fun with it, I guess.

Things might be delayed for a while longer than I had initially thought. The last two updates were essentially there to cut off some workload really quick.

It'll be slow for a while as I try to get every frame set-up to work with the song (it's going to be an animation, only because I felt it's the best choice for the scene I have planned out.) If you guys would prefer to have HALL just stick to the current PNGs and occasional GIF format, I can do that as well, but part of me is curious how this'll turn out.

Just a little forewarning, I might go on a month-long hiatus in November. It really depends on how things turn out in life. Should that hiatus come up, I suppose I could use it to work on making some little side comics for HALL? What do you guys think?

Alright, so about the month-long hiatus. It's still a possibility, but if it is to happen, it'll crop up during December instead. Basically, I'm staying at a family member's house and taking care of their animals and I'm also going to a short class while doing so, and I'm not sure how drained I'll feel while I'm doing all that.

If I do go on hiatus is there any particular types of HALL comics you guys would like to see?

Pornography.

Some kind of prequel, either for Andrew, or Konoe, or whomever you want.

Still getting used to this set-up I’ve got over at my grandma’s place.

So for now, have a Konoe bringing home some groceries. No comics or updates yet (though, I've got some plans set up for either situation), I'll be figuring out how things go tomorrow it looks like.

>>118183
It's definitely gon' be comics.

>>118227
sounds good.

Believe it or not, I've been working on the HALL comic a lot. Though unfortunately, most of the time was spent on a script (most of which cannot be shown yet as to prevent spoiling my own story) and I've only semi-recently gotten to drawing out the first page(s?). So yeah, turns out I'm bad with comics. Bear with me while I learn how to get good with comics! (I'm estimating it should be released at least in two weeks. We shall see. In the meantime, I'll get back to updating HALL again.)

And we're back! Yeah, turns out I'm not all too fast adjusting to changes in life. I'll work on that. But yeah, sorry for the lack of transparency as well as the sudden slowdown (with both the comic and quest itself).

I'm having troubles creating a script that I actually like for the comic, but I think I'm on to something now. No promises though, as I really can't deliver on them at the moment with life kinda being all over the place.

Alright, I know I do this crap a lot, but I'm sorry I haven't been updating much lately. Though in most cases it's life based, this one is more-so motivation.

I've sorta been feeling like I've been doing quite poorly on HALL lately and I've been trying to fix that up. The current puzzle is poorly explained and that's something I'm making an effort to learn from.

As for the HALL comic, I'm still working on it, I'm just struggling to get it to a point where I'm satisfied with it as I'm unfamiliar with drawing comics.

I'll continue working on HALL until the end as I'd like to at least have one completed quest (I've a nasty habit of just quitting when things go wrong) but it'll be slow for a bit while I try to figure everything out here.

Sorry to hear you are feeling burnt out. Take your time. I am glad you are still posting on the draw thread.

Hey there, audience! Another long wait again, sure none of you are surprised by this point. I'll be trying to update HALL tomorrow as soon as I got time. I got a job semi-recently and have been just tryin' to figure out my schedule and all that.

There's a chance all updates will be pretty slow for the time being though, thanks to there being an awful lot up in the air right now. It's also possible for them to be really fast, but that depends on the energy I have when I get home from work (which at the moment? Very little haha)

Don't worry, Andrew and Konoe are still goin' down that... chute... thing...with the weird gravity. I'll make sure I get *something* done with it at least.

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think I'll be updating HALL anymore. Or really working on Quests either. I dunno if I'd call it an indefinite hiatus or just a dead quest, but I've not been feeling great lately and have had no energy to continue working on this.

Perhaps when I'm feeling better and more motivated I'll continue, but for now, I really don't think I can manage that. I might also just do some small quests before I get back into HALL should I get the urge to do Quests again.

Sorry to anyone who might've been interested in my works, or was patiently waiting for the next update. I'll start to get more active on my drawthread again though, hopefully that'll at least sort of make up for it at least.

>>129437
I'm sorry you've been feeling lousy lately, and I hope you manage to recover from it and feel better soon. The most important thing is that you do what's best for your own well-being; if that means putting HALL on indefinite and perhaps permanent hiatus, then so be it. I'll miss it, since I thought it was a pretty cool quest; but questing should be fun for everyone involved, and if you aren't having a good time with it anymore then I wholly agree with your decision to stop updating it.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling up to making quests anymore. It was a fun ride while it lasted, but in the end, you have to do what is best for yourself.

I remember participating in your quests since AvatarPace back in... wow! 2015. Those were fun memories.

Whatever future endeavors you pursue at this point, you'll have our support. In any case, I hope you feel better

It's a lot easier to keep interest in small quests long enough to finish them, so that's a good idea.
