• Progress, I suppose
    So whenever I thought of how Lunar & Solar Aether would tie in with the whole series, and the story behind it, my brain automatically went to “yeah, I’ll think about it later when I have more characters made.” Well, now’s that time, I guess.

    Grodot is just one of the 8 planets in the solar system EO. Grodot is like the Earth of EO, it’s just in the perfect spot for life. Humanoid life, that is. Grodotians are the closest species to humans in the solar system, but like all planets, they are tied to their sun, Solus. This sun is pure white, and has magical qualities no one can seem to understand. The sun gave 8 forms of life force, for each planet. These were:

    1. Solar, Fire Energy
    2. Lunar, Moon Energy
    3. Geos, Earth/Life Energy
    4. Aeros, Air Energy
    5. Aquos, Water Energy
    6. Cryos, Ice Energy
    7. Luminos, Light Energy
    8. Umbral, Dark Energy

    I’ll go into these planets later, but to give you an idea for their powers, each of the Crazy 8 come from one of these 8 planets, hence the 8 in Crazy 8. They are the sworn protectors of the solar system, their homes, and everyone on them.

    Despite being from a planet that carries these powers, one (if strong enough) can wield two of these powers, but they must learn the ways of not only the power itself, but the planet. They must listen, and it will speak. Some suspect it’s the gods that speak to them, others believe it’s the manifestation of the Aether that speaks, but no matter what, no one has spoken of what the voice says. They must learn themselves.

  • One Year Later…

    Well, it’s really been exactly 365 days since I first made this account at around 5:14 on July 11, 2021 and all I can say to that is what a ride. It’s only been a year, and yet it’s felt like an eternity here. So many memories, times both good and bad, yet so much to learn from. And so with a heavy heart I want to wish you all goodbye. After one whole year, I think I’m going to put animation down for good this time. See ya.

    …Yeah right. Like I’d ever do that. You are all stuck with me for as long as I want. Even though I’ve been here for a small amount of time compared to some of y’all old goons, from to the multiple times (and the reasons for them) I’ve taken breaks and thought about leaving or quitting or junk, it surprised me I lasted past 6 months. And some of you made being here feel better, so I’ll give those people a little thank you, in the form it satirical comments. Sorry if I forget some of y’all, little busy as I’m typing this. Please note these aren’t insults, no drama today please.

    • You know what would be crazy, this is sort of related trust me

      Stick Nodes years from now, considering the rise in mobile games and applications Stick Nodes sky rockets as an animation app and millions worldwide use it regularly, from this point Ralph etc has expanded his ‘team’ and now you can physically go to Stick Nodes conventions etc and events. Most times a well-known and respected user reaches a certain day such as this ( a year on site ) people can celebrate physically and hear the stuff that person would have to say.

      Sort of like an Oscar nomination kind of thing except we all just dress all fancy, enjoy some drinks and talk about SN, how far we’ve come etc. That would legitimately, unironically be spectacular.

      I think on my bucket list if I don’t become a complete recluse from people here and we are able to, a meet-up for SN users would be really cool. It all depends on the path Stick Nodes goes, I feel like as we progress it’s becoming more and more appreciable and self-respecting so maybe, just maybe one day a physical meet-up for those inclined to can become a possibility.

      • Replying to: Tastylemon16You know what would be crazy, this is sort of related trust

        That would be amazing, in the conventions popular and well-known high-ranking users can do FAQ and talk while other people could cosplay as their OC or others’ OC
        One thing for sure though, SN PC would have to come out first…

        • Replying to: WarlockThat would be amazing, in the conventions popular and well-k

          I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this could be pretty damn cool.

          Truly though I don’t see this kind of thing happening any time soon and potentially even at all.

          Maybe Stick Nodes needs to branch out more, if I was Ralph perhaps something along the lines of releasing a big update, hiring some people to work on it and just expanding from there, there’d be a lot to do and I’m in no position to command my will for this. As a suggestion though at the base lines it’s just about expansion from what I can interpret.

  • Tried some different things with the Hunter, personally I like how this creature came out. Also, I was thinking, it wouldn’t be as important or lengthy, maybe like pictures rather than Max popping in, talking, showing you a paper, etc

    But should I bring back that one group where Max has archives of Grodot’s creatures?

    • Yeah! It’s always nice to have an information dump where you can write lore and catalogue beasts.

      2022-07-10 14:46:23 UTC 3
  • The Hunter, one of Grodot’s most fearsome predators.

    Being able to traverse on clouds, these creatures have adapted to live in these conditions, thin and moist air. In their free time, these beastly reptiles gaze at the world below them, watching for their meal. Whether it’s a warrior or a wandering traveler, the Hunter will never turn down a quick bite.

    Once their target is found, they begin the hunt. They make roar and show bits of their wings and legs, to grab the attention of their prey. This grows fear inside them, making them taste better to the Hunter. Once the scent of fear reaches the clouds, the Hunter swoops down and quickly finishes them off, with either a simple bite or Cloud Breath, which is when the air in and around the Hunter’s mouth swirls and condenses, then bursts in a unpredictable, swerving beam of cloud-like air.

    If the Hunter sees a village or large number of people, they know they won’t survive. So, they fly as fast as possible, moving the water around in the clouds. This creates a storm that, when big enough, alerts other Hunters in remote area. Once enough Hunters have flown over, they all attack at once, leaving nothing behind but bones and destroyed buildings.

  • @beginninganimator I have a question, space guy

    Does the size of a planet affect the rotation speed, and by extension the day length? (Grodot is about twice the size of Earth).

    Also, rather than 50% Sun, 50% moon like Earth, it’s more like 80% night, 20% day. How would that work, if it even can? If not I’ll just leave it as something magic or smth

    ———————————————————————

    Slightly unrelated: Max was never a morning person.

    • Im not entirely an expert but I’ll give it a go with a slight amount of help from google.

      It seems that the larger the planet the faster it spins.
      Jupiter is the largest, so it spins the fastest.
      Small planets have a day longer than Earths.

      On earth, longer days and longer nights during winter and summer occurs because of Earth’s tilt
      Because one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in summer, a day is longer.
      Because one hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, a night is longer.
      So I suppose you could tilt the planet in a way that would make nights much longer. Although I think it would need more than just a tilt because I’m assuming you’re talking about all year it does this which I don’t think would be possible without something blocking out the sun.

      Fill me in on the features grodot has as well as the orbit so I can come up with a concept why it often has more nights.

          Maybe you could do something with the ring system. It could be large enough and spread out in a way so that it eclipses the sun all year, and the sun appears 80% less than a night sky does because of the rocks and ice and gas constantly blocking it out.

          This could allow for some cool scenery too.
