Stab the parasites to death!

Then, if that doesn't work, try to talk to them.

[Terrahex]

splot them!!! also, epic montage is required... 

[Samthere]

SO, here's the deal:

I'm back from the US, and I totally storyboarded the animation while I was over there, but I won't have time to animate it (or update) for a while as I have a lot of things to do to be ready for university. Unfortunately, that means this project is on hold. Feel free to post occasionally to remind me that I want to find time for this, though!

I may, once uni starts up, have time for a smaller-scale sketch game (a few players at once, instead of suggestion-based). I'll post here if and when I decide to start that, with a link.

Love you all!

[Armok]

will there be sound?

[Hugehead]

Dude you don't have to turn this into Homestuck, I would be fine if you just made it a text adventure.

[Armok]

NO! TURN IT INTO HOMESTUCK!

[SHAD0Wdump]

Do some fancy flash work only if you want. No reason to pressure yourself, especially over Armok's screaming.

[Terrahex]

dude please, I beg you! just do some sketches, they don't even have to be colored!!!

[Tylui]

>_>

<_<

*BUNP*

Alright, I admitted to myself it wasn't going to come to a Flash animation anytime soon, so I decided just to do something. Doing all the things I had storyboarding even as regular frames was daunting, so I cut back on quality and detail in order to bring this back to life for a while longer. Also yeah, new Paint (new Windows install) has brought some weirdnesses in, destroying the neatness of the fill tool if you don't use the pencil too. So a few messy edges and stuff

More and more parasites come at you, biting you and causing your blood to leak away.



As your vision fades, you close your eyes and start to drift away from the pain. Then...

BOOM
followed by shrieking.



You open your eyes and see a huge metal shaft; the burrowers have retreated.



The shaft retracts. With all of your strength, you maintain consciousness and follow it out through the massive hole it's made.



You make it to the water, and vaguely see the bubbles from before attacking the monster with huge spears on chains. Then you black out...



...





You open your eyes and, through your blurry eyes, find odd yellow creatures looking down upon you. Your wounds are patched up.

These guys look familiar. How would a space fish react, Space Fish?

Stats
You're a fish. I still don't have a stat system. Looks like we'll be sticking with skills!

Skills

• 97% swimmer
  01####19#############85##97#100
• 61% horny driller
  01##12##########61######92##100
• 53% communication
  01##11#########53#######91##100
• 38% zero-gravity jetpack operator

• 29% laserer
  takes into account the shoddiness of your gun
  01#06#####29########72######100
• -11 to haggle check results (threshold-free skill)

Untrained skills start at 20%.
Skill max is 85%, but the critical success region can grow beyond that.
At 85% and above, skills are automatic successes except in intense circumstances.
Secret checks may be made when Space Fish cannot know that he is making the check or what he is making the check against, or if he is unable to judge the outcome of his check. No skill points are gained from these checks at the time they are made.

• basic five senses
• omnivore (tiny animals only)

You know you can pull the old paint program off a computer and email it to use in any version of windows...thats how I got df on my library computers.

[Samthere]

It isn't really a problem, just not familiar with the new features of Paint that I probably won't use so I was using the brushes, which fade at the edges and so ruin the fill tool's look. Just have to use the pencil all the time, is all.
The default colour palette has changed though, so the colour in the pictures will be a bit different 'cos I'm lazy

[Armok]

it's alive!

I'm gonna take a wild guess, did we kill one of their species?
