Discussion thread for 2Frames Quest.

Been seeing comments on other places saying that discussion threads are pretty "why not?", so I might as well put this here.

Yeah, I'd say it's tough to give them DD class since the classes definitely are a bit less conventional than most games. 2F is way more like a DnD/RPG type of characters, so I feel like answering that question is akin to figuring out what DnD class fits the Darkest Dungeon classes.

Going with general personality and etc. that's even harder because Darkest Dungeon is, well, darker. While 2F characters aren't 100% happy and etc. I feel like they are still doing better than the characters in DD, though I don't blame the DD characters lol.

Having said that, I might just give classes to them without really thinking about how "statistically" accurate they would be.

As weird as it might be, I'd almost have Raven be a Man-at-Arm cause I noticed that if you pick certain abilities for him, he can be at the fourth spot and just continuously buff his ally and debuff the enemies. While also being able to fight (assuming he has the ability to do so and moves up front).

I'd agree that Highwayman could generally fit Rip.

I might go with Hellion for Lucy just cause of how powerful Hellion seems to be. I always trust her at position 1 to bring some heavy damage.

Emerald is indeed tough to figure out since no class relies on magic like she does, or at least not powerful magic. I also have not seen the comics. Could check for them if I don't forget, after I'm done with the game. But I'm kinda gravitating toward Occultist just because of the darker nature of his abilities. Even his heal spell gives a bleed effect.

I'd have to check the abilities positions again since I dunno who should be at 3 or 4, but I'd say:

Raven(Man-at-Arms) and/or Emerald(Occultist) - Rip(Highwayman) - Lucy(Hellion)

Would be the classes and order I'd go with lol. (I don't like going out without a Vestal though, unless the Abomination is there. But still, tricky.)

Yeah I agree the darker themes of DD make some of the picks really tough personality wise, I can definitely see Raven as a back row Man at Arms party buffer now. I had lightly considered her being a buff Jester but he just seems too grim compared to the man at arms doing the same thing.

That's also the exact line up I was thinking about haha, Lucy and Rip are definitely front row with Emerald and Raven in the back.
I was also leaning heavily towards Occultist for Emerald not only for the skill set and her place in the formation but also because of the uncanny parallels with her and the Occultist comic.(see pic)
The Plague Doctor too since their background and lore items hint that they were kicked out of their university because of their experimentations.

As for not wanting to set off with out Vestal I definitely know that feel lol.
But apparently you can beat the Heart of Darkness with out any deaths if you bring a party of 3 Plague Doctors and a Leper. With the power of math and stacking crit/dmg buffs to get a big enough crit to skip the fight mechanics and one shot the heart. Its very silly.

Just another heads up about Commission sales. I'm having another one for pretty much all of December, minus the last week which I'll take completely off. Though it's not impossible that I might update either quests this month. I limited what I'm accepting as commission to sales only so it's possible that I would get some time to work on quests during that time. Otherwise, this might be another update-less month... Well except the one I just did.

Alright! Shark Quest part 1/first thread is finally complete!

Main thing I want to say is that I don't know when the next thread will start. Probably not soon. Right now, I plan on focusing completely on 2Frames, quest-wise. 2F accidentally became this thing that takes me kind of along time to update once even when I work on it until I finish it (instead of doing other stuff, or nothing), but it's pretty much near it's end game for the first chapter, so I want to at least finish that that way.

I am planning on opening for commissions eventually soon, but generally I do want to try and work on 2F as much as I can. Kinda balancing both things, but not really focusing on commissions like I've been doing. For one, I don't think there will be any sales anytime soon, which is part of why I mostly focused on commish at the end of last year, even after getting a GPU like I was saving for. But yeah.

I guess I should promote this. If you want to support my quests with dollars, you can support my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jiggydino
Patreon is the biggest way to make me do so less commission in favor of quests, so consider supporting if you can! And I really meant dollars or dollar too. I don't mind $1 supporters. Every little bit helps!

Also, Discord server over there: https://discord.gg/EZ4sCYh

Okay, so this hasn't actually been used for discussion in a long time, but I feel like now is a good time to revitalize it.

So, it's clear Raven's song is... something else. It more or less got past a other dimensional miasma, and it sort of got past a magic nullifying sword. Not to mention that it's something that a lifelong witch and some very experienced individuals seem to have no clue about.

Now it's affecting an ancient, Eldritch device of Untold Demonic Power that generally needs a blood sacrifice to get going. Got to imagine that anything that can pull that off has to have some juice behind it.

Question is, do we want to take the risk and try and go for what might be a magical short circuit? We could either be speeding it up, or causing it to destabilize and possibly blow up or something. Best case scenario is that whatever she sings causes it to either die out or weaken ferociously. It's a big risk, but potentially we could end the problem here and now.

I really hopw someone else has thoughts on this.
>>
No. 121000 ID: 87353e

>>120985
Just to clarify since it has been a while and there might have been a misconception, Raven's Song only produces any tangible effects if she preforms it in its entirety, exactly as she was taught how to sing it. Just humming the tune has no effect other then making her feel better psychologically because its a comforting melody to her, as shown in >>/quest/807894 .

Since Raven hasn't actually invoked her song yet, I think this is a case of correlation not being causation in regards to the portal acting up right now. It could be reacting to just Raven's presence specifically since she seems(?) to have a strange connection to the Ruins, what with the visions she has been having since her arrival. Or it could be that the Portal itself has just now reached the terminus of its powering up phase and is now fully primed to receive a sacrifice.

As to what the song might actually do to the Portal, given our previous attempts haven't had any volatile reactions like conventional spells do and seems like a safe way to defuse and disperse the Dark Energy of the Portal. It's at least probably safer then trying to physically smash it while its juiced up or potentially overloading the anti-magic sword if used alone with out weakening the Portal first. No matter what I think we are going to try the song on the portal at some point, its just a question of when.

So then its more like do we want to blow up our spot right now by testing singing to the Portal and probably also cause Ophi to spot Marigold and Poppy before they are ready? Do we have time or the capacity to move to a new hiding spot with out being seen, to then start singing and act as bait to draw Ohpi's attention towards Raven only and not the Bees, giving them an opening to grab her and the captives before the Portal does any more weird shenanigans? Or do we just hold off and wait to see if anything worse happens, hoping that someone else on the attack team gets Ophi to turn around again so we can jump her?

Oh yeaaah, probably right about that bit about the humming. We might be able to at least shift positions.

It’s not just that, it’s that her magic is working perfectly despite being in all this purple stuff!

Remember Emerald’s magic isn’t working unless she draws magic runes on objects, Ophi seems to not be having that problem!

Don't forget that Ophi also has a Spell Foci that she is using to cast magic, just like Emerald is using the spare crystal lamp. Its some kind of crystal ball or hollow glass orb.

Ophi has been super desperate since we captured Ava and it seems like they both had some kind of interaction with the entity while poking around the portal. Who knows what level of influence it had? I mean it seems to amplify negative emotions to its advantage and she had a full blown panic attack.

Whatever it is, Daemon or not, can apparently puppet people from across dimensions if they have significant negative emotions or unresolved traumas.
Though if that's only because of Ophi being a direct host for it, I wonder what makes Rufa resistant or why it hasn't or couldn't convert her yet like Basant, willpower maybe?
Poppy and Emerald make sense as easy targets. Emerald is pretty much patient zero here, and Poppy had her blood sucked by the portal.

If the charged portal is acting as a relay booster for it we might need to switch targets and have Lucy try to smash some of the channels on the portal arms to cause a signal disruption.
I'm just afraid it might reflect the force of the blow back on her or catastrophically release whatever massive amount energy its been building up if we try that with out Ava's sword to disperse it.

I think that whatever becomes of the party, we at least have a nebulous goal to work towards in the long run:

These 'songs' that apparently can cause an interdimensional entity to take a look at you and go 'yup, those pipes of yours are a problem that need to be solved'. Hope Ophi has some intel on that whole thing.

123185

Quick thing I made. I've been thinking about how much Emerald doesn't look like an Armadillo, cause I didn't really find a way to make her look like one in the first thread. Though I used like, less than 10 minutes coming up with her.

Then in thread 2 when I changed the resolution, I just uprezed the main cast for the most part. So Emerald just ended up looking a lot like a canine. Her and Rufa shouldn't look this much the same. lol

Anyway, I felt like doodling her as an actual armadillo to see how similar/different she'd look like. This is also very prototype though. I plan on changing things about the characters once this chapter is completed, some redesigning, and Emerald will still get worked on a little bit more. But this gives an idea of how she'll look.
>>
No. 123188 ID: ba56e6

Maybe a little narrower on the armored part? It would make it easier to depict clear eyebrows or lines around the eyes. I notice you use both quite a lot with Emerald's expressions.
>>
No. 123189 ID: ca0e20

>>123188
Yeah, with this version, I was tentatively checking into maybe making her cartoon shape the armor around the eye to use for expressions. But yeah, that's one of the things that might not stick once I actually redesign her.

I think at this point I'm gonna accept some failure.

I was meant to focus on 2F this year until it was done and I expected that to take the first 3-4 months, but because of my dumb head, I ended up not working on it as much as I wanted and there's no way I'll finish 2F before July.

That matters, cause that's when I'll re-shift focus to commissions again. Since I'll want to hold a shark week sale that lasts all month of July. I'm bad at updating 2F even when I try to fully focus on it, so I think my output of update will practically stay the same anyway. I wish I was a better human.

So yeah, more updates for this month (hopefully) but I'm probably gonna shift back to commissions for July. Might have to use the last week of June to prepare or something.

Alright! Finally finished the 2 Frames Quest Chapter! I really should have finished earlier, but better late than never I guess lol.

Most I want to say now is that 2F will be on hiatus now. I do have to focus on other things, and it doesn't help that it takes kinda forever to make a 2F update. Especially compared to, say, a Shark Quest update. I dunno how 2F will look once I update it again, but I have thought about how I might change it at least to make it update faster. Though that can range from different approach to drawing the frames to getting better gear, maybe.

Having said that, it is possible that I end up working on another quest from here to when I update 2F again. For one, I want to say that I'll definitely update Shark Quest before I update 2F again. But it's possible I start another hopefully smaller thing first. I've been wanting to start something that would be way more light and low stakes so I can update when I'm bored or whatever, but even that I didn't want to start anything before the Portal Chapter was done. I have no real plan for quests right now other than taking a break from them while I figure other things out.

I'd point to Patreon now, but I have been thinking of redoing it, if I redo it, to be centered about animation and only animation. So if anyone supports it now, it would still be for it's current tip jar reasons. But yeah, my quests are not stellar enough for Patreon, lol. Not even my animations I bet. Anyways.

I already started, but I am now re-reading 2F to see how it works as a story all in one go. So far I do enjoy parts of it. Obviously some parts could be better, but I do like how certain parts are, like the goofy stuff the characters sometimes do.

But anyway, enough rambling out of my mouth! For anyone that read 2Frames and enjoyed it, thank you for sticking around and I hope you've enjoyed this, even with my slow update at the end there! =D

Really though, it's mostly cause none of the characters were really planned. I wasn't even planning on Keese befriending more/all the Gargoyles like he did, so it's why all characters were pure black, lol.

For this quest, I tried to only use a black pen on an orange background with sometimes white highlights to make certain poses and details more obvious and only used different dark grays so that Keese didn't completely disappear.

If I use these characters again, I could give the Gargoyles slight hues to differentiate them more.

Anyway, enough sleepy rambling. Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, figuring out how to balance action with character development/lore is something I'll need to figure out. It was easy for me in this chapter to think that things needed to be on all the time, to the point where even once Raven got a journal to read, she only got to it some times after and had to read it while doing other things. I guess in my mind, I was just constantly worried things were too boring if they got slow for too long. Though I guess considering the circumstances, maybe that was natural.

Once I get to continue 2F, there won't be anything absolutely urgent apart from "Let's figure out if we can cure this purple", so maybe I'll have more chances to let the characters breath and hopefully it won't be boring lol.

Currently thinking not running quests makes no sense for me. I stopped to free my time up to do important life stuff, so I wouldn't feel guilty if I ran out of time for quests. But I proved in the last months that I still won't do anything responsible, even if I don't have obligations. Well... self imposed obligations. Though I went and told myself that I'd try to open for commissions at least one batch of 3 per month for the entire year, and that ended up still being a thing that I'd focus more on than doing that other stuff. But that still shows how weak I am as an adult human. Anyway.

At this point, I feel like doing quest can potentially be a thing I should do to keep myself sane. Main thing I need to make sure though, is that I don't do like I did with 2F again. Updates that took way too long. Which I was aware from the start not to do and still went and did it by not completely purpose. But I guess I was stubborn and stuck with it. So whatever I do, if I start again, I have to make sure it's simple enough to, say, update multiple times in one evening.

... And by keeping things simple, I can potentially still do step 1 that I was meaning to do while still updating a quest.

Current potential plan for quests is what I always expected to do. Once I update again, it'll be Shark Quest. A SQ panel always was faster to make than drawing a single frame in 2F was, worst case scenario I would art block hard enough to take longer on a simple panel, but it was still faster than a 2F frame. So SQ can be a test of what happen when the main quest I update is easy to update. I think I mentioned it before, but ultimately, once I update 2F again, I do plan on changing the style. Mostly by not making it lineless. It will kinda look like Shark Quest, but with more colors and etc. But I want to make sure I'm in a good place to update 2F again, so it's more likely that I will focus on Shark Quest and other new quests for a long time before I go back to 2F... if I can resist being away from those characters that long that is.

And for those that likes the lineless style, I want to say that I like it too and am proud (believe it or not) of the Portal Chapter. It's not the best thing ever and it has lots of faults in every aspect, but the full package is so nice to me. I like how it looks and most of what happens and while we only see a glimpse of the characters, I still like to see what we saw of them. To stop the ramble, I mainly want to say that I want to work myself up back to the lineless style. As things around me and my skill get better, I want to get to a point where I can either update in that style faster, or that it would be more a manageable thing for me to update in that style despite that time it takes to make things that way. As crazy as it may sound, I do believe I have it in me. Just not in my current state.

Anyway, I wanted to spew some words cause I've been thinking this for a bit and this evening, I have been starting to see a certain image in my mind of how things are and what I do to myself for the sake of doing things the "right way". I still don't know what the right way is for me, but it's not by finding another way to make me sad. And thinking about not updating quests has been a new source for me.

I still have to think on stuff, but yeah. If I missed something, ask away and I'll try to address it and stuff.

Yay, more quests.

You'll get better at being responsible with practice.

Hey! Great to hear you're gonna start questing again! But no matter what, you do you to find a rhythm that feels right and works for your real life schedule.

As for responsibility, once you find a good routine to get back into and stick with it, then it just becomes practice until its second nature. Try to recognize bad habits and break them before it becomes too hard. But remember you're only beholden to yourself, so only prioritize what you think feels right for you.

I might be a silent reader for SQ, but I am excited to see where you go next on your projects. 2 Frames was my jam and short one offs like Batty Quest are pure delight!

With quests on the mind again, here's Ava!

Was thinking about how I'd get rid of the idea that my 2F character are cartoon-y enough to not have to cover themselves as much. Ava being one of the offenders with this, this is the kind of tight shorts I've been thinking of giving her for a while. So, here's a doodle showing it. Weird to do for a character we might not see for a while if ever!, but yeah I do like doodling her sometimes. I also tried to make her face a bit more barn owl-y.

Nothing new, but I drew Raven and Lucy for a new Patreon Banner a while ago. But since I'm not doing much with it in the way of not advertising about it at all, I wanted to show these 2 anyway. I do like how they came out for the most part.

While I'm here, I do want to mention to all of you that this update took long mostly cause I somehow didn't really have a ton of opportunities to actually work on this. I blame my party neighbors that made sure I was too tired most weekends.

While your drawing is some what cute that may be because you didn't draw it with its nightmare teeth.

And speaking of things that are nightmarish in nature did you know that Anglerfish reproduce with the male attaching itself to the much larger female and slowly merging and being absorbed by her until the are little more then just testicles that she can pull sperm from as she needs?

Making this, I was just imagining her practicing/ messing around with the guitar as she's not in a band yet. So it would probably mostly be instrumentals. And for genres, I'd just make her play songs I like, lol. Non-scream metal, punk rock, classic rock, maybe some indie sounding stuff occasionally... video games music, lol.

>>130327
I did try to make it's teeth crazy, but it was tough with the binary pen and that resolution.

Also yeah, people really liked to point those out in the thread itself. Fitting for deep sea creatures I guess, since they have to be bonkers in real life.

This is pretty great, also modern Lucy shredding on a guitar is also giving me some NITW feels and that's a good bonus.
>>130329
If she was in a band though with our usual pals, Raven would probably be vocals, but would Emerald be percussions or synths?

Rip might be better for percussion. Mostly cause it's slightly funny to me that sneaky silent guy would be the one that makes noise by beating the crap out of an instrument in modern times. But he'd still be silent socially.

>>130453
Lol maybe. But I could also see her doing any extra instruments too. In a, good enough at most instruments, not a master of anything kind of way. So any genre the band might tackle, she'd handle whatever instrument need to be played at the time... well one for a song that the others can't cover.

She can handle the Synth for some stuff and the Theremin could be one of those things for the Halloween album they'd do. =P

Honestly, I liked Shark Quest better when we only needed to worry about which one of our friends we wanted to date and eventually choose one of them to be our mate.

It stopped being fun when all of the kidnapping merfolk showed up. I wish we could just go back to dating.

Yeah the problem right now is that I made the mistake to take 2 suggestions in that one first post when I guess I should have just picked one, but back then I also was not planning to have it run that long, it was meant to be a week and that's it, but people wanted me to do more, so then I continued it, but I already planted the seeds of the fin soup so I kinda had to follow that through. Then I started updating the quest only once a month, which made it real hard for me to have a grasp on how things were going so much so that I reveal certain things earlier than I originally planned.

I was debating saying this out loud, but I might as well say so since I do know that the people that want a date quest essentially lost that: My current plan is/was to fast-track a resolution for the fin soup thing, and then transition to dating again with no distractions... Though that is potentially being delayed with people wanting to hang out now, so I dunno. At this point it might be apt to embrace the ridiculousness and have Ammy call Finn right away like "Wow I was way more ready with my preparation than I originally thought." Ammy preparing probably came from an old thing I wanted to do which was inspired by Persona 4 with the whole, date fight date fight thing they are doing, but they planned it out better and are smarter and etc. and it's a game and etc.

Like literally, with how heavy people seems to take the fin stuff, I practically am planning to solve it by letting people defeat a villain (that also has been seeded already) within the next outing. Like, narratively , I'm making Finn solve all that stuff within 2 days.

I know some would like me to just make Finn ask the cops and it would all be fixed magically, but I dunno, I guess I'm not about that. Heck, I could reboot it but I don't want to do that either. (Instead of rebooting, I'd rather just cancel it and go back to 2Frames)

So I dunno, I'm recovering from being sick right now, but I'll think about what to do going forward. I guess I'm also thinking of the characters that are either introduced or going to be introduced based on certain things (I might have given the impression I wanted no one to go to the cops, whoops) so maybe that's why I don't want to skimp too hard on that side of it, cause once it's resolved, then a lot of characters will relax more and I dunno. We'll see. I'm still thinking of trying to make it so that once Shark Quest has a 3rd part (assuming it survives that long), it'll be all dating going forward, but it's also hard to know who cares about what. I like Shelly, but does anyone else do? I have no idea.
