this is the group I’ve been consistently using as my home base. this is where I talk about my project. the one I’ve been working on for almost a year now, yeah. It ain’t finished yet, so stay tuned.

birthday part 2

So, I’m very close to being almost done with the outline. I’m piecing the scenes together and coming up with a way of telling a story I enjoy, and it’s great.
It’s gonna be long, though. I don’t think you can have an arc without a long runtime though, otherwise it feels very forced. The way everything is coming together just makes my brain happy.
In other news, I’m about to get a new device for making shit. That entails a lot, like Discord, Stick Nodes, good editing software and a new horizon for the entirety of this project.
I imagine that getting to that point will take a bit, so y’all be prepared.
Big things are coming.

So, I’m at another standstill.
stuck in the middle
So, here’s the problem. I know where I want to go forward. Willem goes on to have a cat and mouse game in a food court with the antagonist, that ends with him finding Bud so their arcs can truly begin, and Eiley ends up with Lizbeth so they can have a tense, close and neon fight with a horde of twigs in a dark, claustrophobic in a laser tag section, that ends with some downtime so the characters can have development, and then they meet again and move on to the finale. however, the place where I’m at makes it very difficult to move forward. I spent so long wondering where the characters would go next, that I didn’t think about how they would. I’ll figure it out, but I’ve cooked myself into a corner for now.
In other news, the antagonist, the Arboracertas, is now called the Whistlewood. My “bad guys” always end up with names sounding like an obscure indie band.
the twigs
whistlewood
the creidetaires (the creed tears)
ozymandias
You can’t say I’m not right.
Anyways, there’s a cool lore reason why it’s called that, I’ll explain later. -
scourge of the mallso, i have the description of the arboracertas
viola, behold
A chilling figure. A tall creature, woven with layers of bark and wood that bent and broke around the joints, roots visible in-between, like wires. It had almost an mechanical, industrial smooth look, like metal or varnished wood, but it moved with the slow, curious grace of a living being. The space where its eyes would’ve laid on its face were null, slightly drooped sections of the skull where the bark smoothed over. Thin strands of roots were scattered across the body of the creature like small hairs, especially around its joints and around the upper part of Its head, scattered and sporadic, displaced in their looks. Its ribcage was pronounced by the wood that bent and cracked over it. It was the only section of the creature that seemed uneven, providing flexibility at the cost of its automaton appearance. It had a long tail that ended in a sharp point, with thicker strands of roots across. It would’ve been relatively short if not for its legs, like the feet of a chicken. Three-jointed and long. Its arms were aptly long, providing its nature of speed and need to hunt. Its jaws appropriated this. A sharp, biting maw that dripped sap like saliva. It had sharp, three fingered hands. It’s The Arboracteras.

So, I now have it figured out. The number one problem with Nest. Getting the characters to go into the aforementioned Nest. I have it now. The hordes, Jesse, the hordes.
One of the original plot points happens to be about the hordes that go across Jormungandr. Canonically, they’re feared more then the many storms and hurricanes that wreak havoc on the town yearly. That’s because of how vast they are. Some span entire countries, and take days to pass their towns. It’s the worst thing about the spring season, but the aftermath is worth the wait.The cast is stuck because of this. Unable to leave the mall, and not wanting to even if they could, they only have one option. To find a way to contact someone in Jormungandr to insure their rescue when the horde passes. How, you ask? The mall is not only a mall, but a plaza. A tourist attraction made in elaborate ways to keep people interested, and that includes a radio station.
We preface this being an option during the car ride that Willem and Eiley go on. They play music on the radio of the car. Jormungandr has a radio station that they continuously play music on to bring survivors to the town. They could contact that, have people operating it in town pick it up and send help. However, the station in the mall is on the other side. Our characters will need to make a journey through the mall, and eventually, through the Nest.

This is multiple paragraphs so I know no one will read it, but I’m proud of myself for figuring it out so I wanted to post about it.

Nest is a difficult puzzle of a story.
So, I’m at a standstill with the plot. There’s sections that I love, others that work, and then there’s where I’m stuck. I don’t know how to go forward with it, so while I figure it out, here’s some snippets from the outline.the setting

I got better at drawing (partially) and made a little goober out of boredom
I don’t have sn currently so that’s why I’m making stuff that physical

Cool! I like the little nightmares style and series that’s like the first time I’ve seen someone mention little nightmares.

so, I’m still writing. at this point, I’m not sure I’ll ever finish a single project. I worked on late shift for five months, had the perfect story and then decided to move onto nest. I’m still wondering why I did that. maybe I was dried out, tired of focusing on a single project.
anyways, I have some ideas that I’m excited to explore. so, I’ll set up some expectations and some updates.
nest is a very thriller/horror oriented short, basically a cat and mouse style episode, inspired by Alien: Isolation and Little Nightmares.
now, for the updates.
I have no way of making nest… animation wise. It’s why I’m so focused on writing. There’s literally nothing that I can do for uroboros but write.
That’s all I have to say.attention catching meme

ngl maybe you’re meant to be a writer, it’s worth exploring
self publish on Amazon, start a series of short stories

Replying to:
I’ve consider it just being a story, something that you could read about on a tumblr blog, but I don’t want that personally. I always was able to visualize this world I’ve made, and I want those daydreams to be real. I could always just draw, but
I just need it to be something real. I don’t think I’ll make the impact (storywise) on viewers with a self published book then I would with my real vision. However, I love to explore the possibilities. I might publish them and then work on animating them. Maybe I’ll do neither. I don’t know yet. Uncertainty’s not fun, but it’s nessesary if you want to know what you want to do.Also, why did you decide to suddenly give productive advice, it’s so sudden it’s scary.

So, I have some lore for the infected. Well, sorta. It’s more or less fun details and needs for them, a personal explaination of an upcoming concept.

I’m thinking of making an in-universe analog horror video
like the more I think about the idea the better it gets
-
An in-universe analog horror video?
So like a found footage type of deal but within your fictional universe? That’s good.
I’m doing a similar premise for the revamped interview group only not horror oriented and more set to different stylisations of interactions between users ( interviews ) except aspects from the real interviews here on group will be carried over and animated.
I’d love to see the analog horror video
2023-08-14 22:53:08 UTC-
Replying to:
Yes! Kinda like that but the premise isn’t super found footage-y. It’s more like the Mandela Catalog’s style of fixed cameras and dialog with the jumpscare being led up to, but it should have a bit more clarity to the look of it.
I’ve noticed that with a bunch of Analog Horror videos is that they compensate for a lot by having the framing be incredibly unorthodox, to the point where It’s incredibly difficult to tell what’s going on, and especially if it’s black and white.
I also wanted to give it clearer and more direct storytelling. I want the look to be more minimalistic, combing characters made in sn that would look reminiscent of the style in the Walter Files, and putting them into real life photos that look incredibly liminal.
