LOSTBROOK ENDINGS: The Good, The Bad, and the Kind of Okay.
ENDINGS: NEUTRAL: "LostBrook, the Planet That Refuses to Die." The prophecy was technically correct, as prophecies often are. One of them — whether the abrasive voice that cut short in the middle of a quip, the bright voice that dimmed grimly before its time, or the weary voice that finally f...

"...A whirlwind odyssey straight from the mind of a child!
After eras of peace and prosperity on LOSTBROOK, a planet inhabited by fun-loving crittercreatures called Thingamajigs,
The OHNE, an intergalactic terror from far beyond the black-and-blue, has once again transfixed its gaze on the daily lives of its people.
As the prophecy that's guided this planet along for generations dictates, YOU, a player avatar from the "human world", are destined to travel across the boundaries of time and space to save LostBrook from The OHNE's evil aura once and for all!
But, even with a team of unique, latent heroes by your side, it won't be easy! You're not the only group of wannabes on an adventure, after all, and the amount of time you can finish this adventure is just as important as the many friends you'll make along the way.
Remember, though...it's worth it to stop to smell the flowers every now and again. Yes, it's worth it to smile, to smile one last time, before you sink and become lost to the dark, murky brook."

Besides art tips, I additionally wanted to clear the air a bit on Carl's speaking quirk, which is demonstrated heavily in the enemy bestiary!!! (as seen here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YSVahJkoRuv48SRpYX3wIx8IZQgeL47jMogza8riuWQ/edit?usp=sharing )
In summation, Carl speaks as if everything, even events that were clearly in the past tense, or will even be in the future, has only just now happened, or is actively happening to them.
This is because, as two beings piloting one body (a body that's actively falling apart, at that), they experience time very differently compared to other Thingamajigs.
I --> We.
Ex: My name is Carliedoscope -> We am is being Carliedoscope St. Isotope.
[verb]s -> Am is being.
Ex: This soup tastes like shit -> This soup am is being tasting like doo-doo.
Very -> Muchly.
Ex: This place really sucks -> This region is being muchly bad!
Did/Past Tense -> Have Had.
Ex: We were in a tough fight last week -> We have had being in a big-big brawl last week.
Example dialogue compiling everything we've learned today:
"Greety-greetings! We am is being Carliedoscope St. Isotope. We have had being in a big-big brawl last week. This region is being muchly bad, and muchly scary! We am is being planning to do the leaving soon..."

Cheese's time out in the sun, away from the dreary atmosphere of Polychordia, has really changed him for the better. A face composed of pure darkness has done nothing to dull the beam of his smile!
Yup, that's right! He's the happiest 17 year old boy there ever was! He'll hold everyone's burdens on his shoulders if you ask him to. He'll do anything if you ask him to. You'll ask him, right? You'll talk to him, right? You still remember him, right? You...you care about him, right?
Whatever the answer, it doesn't matter. He's committed to helping even if it kills him. He'll make the world see him.
He'll make you see him.
Awwweee he so cute
Spatulad Character Design stuff!
All juvenile Thingamajigs, like their chimera ancestors before them, choose a mask around birth to grow into as they age.
Oldbirths, however, are born with this mask permanently grafted to their face. Taking it off is the equivalent of opening a cocoon whilst a butterfly is not finished metamorphosizing.
A man half-empty in a half-man's state...unable to fully escape the shadow he - nor his ancestry - casts.
A non-gendered way of becoming less of a man...?
DARKWOKE
APPARENTLY the tinyurl didn't work properly last time cuz I messed up with the parenthesis -- should be fixed now, though!!! :^)

Pretty much exactly what you think ^_^
To commemorate this occasion: Have a song I made over the weekend for LostBrook!
"Cyclical Lullaby" is what will play as you view your save files, be it in the overworld or on the start menu following the intro.
Reposting the World Map, if only for posterity...
The 6 continents include:
The Northwestern Continent of Coolsville (Controlled mainly by Mr. Claws & The Frost Legion; populated mainly by Yeti and Draconids))
The Northeastern Continent of Eustonavia (Under a strict regime by Father, the ruler of Polychordia; populated mainly by Polychorions & Other Shape-Folk)
The Eastern continent of Penitentia (Independent: Populated mainly by reformed lice monsters who were born of the bear that came from outer space; additionally populated by a kingdom of Sirens who dwell in the nearby waters)
The Southeast continent/city of Dinnerville (Theoretically independent, but heavily influenced by local celebrity and warlord Dr. D.I.N.N.E.R.; populated by Thingamajigs of all shapes and sizes)
The Southern Continent of ValkenValmie (Ruled by Mayor Valkenvalmie XIV; populated mainly by Grassoids and Whatchamacallits)
And, finally, the Southwestern Continent of Taigatai (Completely devoid of modern civilization; populated mainly by dinosaurs and other wild gimcracks such as Dire Eyestalkers)

Battle Theme #1: Up and At 'Em!

Thx lawl >_< My favorite trope in art is giving completely unassuming crayon-drawing esque creatures giant machine guns and shit (like all that fanart of Isabelle teaming up with Doomguy)
I like the cartoonish snowman with rifle.png lol
An increasingly rare piece of Artificial Intelligence technology, the P:AL (Prognosis: Adaptive Loser) brand of combat robots was envisioned long ago to train groups of aspiring heroes for the prophecy.
However, during the Knightmare Templar incident of 201001, a rogue P:AL unit went defective, leading a globe-spanning crusade against all Whatchamacallits that nearly led to their extinction.
You see, P:AL units are equipped with a "Menace Estimation Module". To better train younger heroes against the towering metal golems, they were made to perform worse in a battle to scale with their sparring partner's potential incompetence.
During the Knightmare incident, however, this module worked in reverse, causing the rogue P:AL to brutalize anything it deemed weaker than itself with cold efficiency.
After the rogue agent was deactivated and reset, the P:AL line was largely discontinued. Only 3 units remain active in the entire world, and even then, their intelligence has been largely stunted.
However....during Spatulad's designated trial against Redruut's one and only P:AL unit, their spar was interrupted by a certain young woman with wires for arms, causing P:AL to fail the duel in the "wrong way".
It never got to finish its duel with Spatulad...not fair at all! It's purpose was to fail, and it couldn't even do THAT right? No! No more! It repaired its charred, rusty body and CRAWLED out of that dirty training crypt!
Its goal...? To finally make Spatulad as strong as he can be. To fight him until he's pushed to his limit's limit, again, and again, and again, only to lose, and to DIE. Just as it was built for.
Nonviolent NPCs and such!
And....

Changes:
Rather than a hat given life by a wizard following a drunk night on the town, FOE's second half is a conduit of pure magical energy. A being of light, now inhabiting the body of a carefree young girl from Valkenvalmie.
Despite her appearance and general lack of care for basic grammar, FOE's been around the block longer than you might think...and she's got the combat prowess to show for it.
In years long past, Brother looked much more similar to his dad.
However, due to intense exposure to the power of the 6th LastBrook (which is INSIDE of Father's heart and actively flowing nightmares into his blood), along with several of the royal family's...machinations, Brother now looks much more humanoid in appearance.
Essentially, a human being's power is very hard to manifest into the world of LostBrook. Even for someone like you, the best the universe can do to attempt at making your form comprehensible is to transmit you into the CURS->R.
However, the longer you stay in this world - the more exposure you have to everything that LostBrook is - the more "Thingamajig" you become.
This can also work in reverse.
The more of OUR world a Thingamajig sees - the more of a CURS->R's boundless power they're exposed to - the more "Human" that person becomes.
In exchange for permanent changes to their body, they ascend into something more.
That's Father's plan in a shellnut, yeah!
Prob wouldn't work anyways since he can't quite come to our world the way that we can come to theirs...even if he succeeds, I strongly doubt he'd be especially happy with the result.
Eventually, his ego would get the better of him, and he'd likely try to take the cursor for himself, mutating his unprepared body in the process.
Why should his SON get all the power, after all, huh? It's not the boy The OHNE wants, it's him! It's always been him...right?
oooooo does the brother steal the cursor to turn himself into a real boy with the human radiation?

Neither did I lol >_< it was a spur of the moment typa thing yk? I think it came out pretty good though! Teehee
I like it a lot, didnt know you compose stuff!
Status effects can be inflicted to anyone regardless if they're an enemy or a party member. However, certain foes are immune to negative statuses.
Statuses in battles will likely be changing constantly, even without the use of badges or special items. Adapt accordingly and always be aware of what the world can and will throw at you.
perhaps the stas could be constantly changing with weather, like for example snowy weather could cast chilly or weak gravity flighty
Okay so for the three people who put their trust in me (rounding up) during that last post: I lied. Let this be a lesson. Now, here's 6 entire pages of nothing BUT words!!!!!!

LostBrook Dialogue Thingy For the Book Adaptation of the Manga adaptation of the Movie adaptation of the Comic adaptation of the Game!
The Gallant Griffyn sat at a perfect 90 degree angle at the exact corner of Malikvaven's border. Spatulad slouched through the beaded curtain first, which he sort of had to do to get into any building to begin with, his shoulders up around his (enormous) ears, his entire posture screaming that he...
XDDD
Ksedrag with suspiciously LostBrook Dialogue shaped object in their throat: We all outta dialogue
For the three people who care (rounding up) I'm gonna take a pause on the wordier more sketchish LostBrook posts so I can draw something actually kinda sorta cool maybe! >_<
In other words it may take a bit longer than usual!!! So when I disappear keep in mind that I haven't been kidnapped and held captive in the mama mia trench okay?? Okay! :B
"Thingamajigs encompass most of LostBrook's landmass. They were the first species to achieve sapience, and the ones closest in tune with Klourm's holy nature of creativity.
Thingamajigs are naturally inclined to reckless and/or self-destructive behaviors.
Before merging with the Chimeras wept from the fallen star, the Thingamajigs were first designed as a sort of crash test dummy, and as such the earliest members of their species were naturally designed to take a high level of punishment.
Though they may appear hurt at first from falling, burning, stabbing, or any such injury, the only surefire way to 'kill' a Thingamajig is via a direct attack on their soul. An act of true malice, true hatred, paired with a clean stab directly to the heart, and they will surely be turned into a grey smear within seconds.
This is easier a feat said than done, however. Thingamajigs as a people are very hardy. They have no bones, and their bodies are full of fake organs that serve very little purpose (likely a leftover distraction technique from their old days as wild beasts, like how a lizard might let go of their tail to get away from a predator.)
Additionally, Thingamajigs have a particularly interesting ability that no other has: projection.
Every Thingamajig projects a very mild psychic field. Nothing special in its own right besides holding themselves in suspension before a sudden drop, but with the proper applications, it becomes the backbone of their very society.
Their psychic aura, granted to them by Klourm's holy light, allows them to make things make sense together - like the psychic equivalent of wrapping string around something to keep it from collapsing.
For example, Thingamajig technology is pointlessly garbage, and mostly a great many shards of metal junk shoved together when you look at them on the inside.
But! Their collective psychic power allows it to work whilst they need it to make their lives easier. This fallacy even extends to the people in their society.
For example...People worldwide think Father is an irredeemable monster.
Ergo, as more time passes on, he gets worse and worse, and more people see him in that negative connotation.
A self-sufficient cycle that keeps him, and those like him, unbeatable forever.
Is this a blessing, or our species' greatest curse?!
Only time will tell, this author supposes."
