[Same-Day Story] Sun Priestess Elly!

A drawing of Elly Taylor floating in the air, wearing an orange and yellow robe with a sun motif. A caption reads: SUN PRIESTESS, ELLY TAYLOR. A gentle and caring lady, who believes in the good in others, and in a world where all can coexist in peace. A virtual window also describes her Thematic Core: THE SUN. The Sun is a comfort to those in need, especially through their darkest hour. Its INVERSION is caution towards others, as well as independence. Elly's specialty is healing magic.

Spent the past 2 days writing some GMS2 code for a dialog renderer and event sequencer, the end result is pretty promising! But hoowee am I tired out now...

[Same-Day Story] It's been a while since I introduced a totally new character... So let's do that!

A drawing of Artie Umbra standing and waving to the viewer. He is wearing a white undershirt and brown overalls, as well as long socks and brown boots. A description reads: "Owner of a humble dye shop in Lumeria. He's borrowed the Angel Statue's power to modify his body, allowing himself to biologically produce different colored dyes from each of his finger-tips. Beware that you don't stain yourself or your clothing if you touch him! ...Or do. I won't judge."

[Same-Day Story] Elly's Mysterious Anonymous Commission!

Elly Taylor reads a commission inquiry for an intricate clothing article at her workbench. It reads as follows: "Greetings! I am an anonymous Mage, fascinated with your designs. I ask for your assistance in granting me the miracle of a new appearance. I have provided everything you'd need. Once you have made your choice, place the result and/or the rejected inquiry in the hammock outside at midnight. No looking. I hope you can understand." The inquiry comes with reference art of a poncho with dark blue and bright yellow fabric, a star in the center, and purple flowers at the sides, as well as measurements.

[Same-Day Story] Sharing Secrets

[Same-Day Story] It's been a long time since the girl named Sylvia Pastel first became known to the world, so I figure now is as good a time as any to... reintroduce her.

Sylvia Pastel, The Steadfast. Sylvia kneels and looks at the viewer with a smile, holding up the Core Desire of the Steadfast. "An extremely accomplished programmer, mathematician, and problem solver. With her vast experience, she has gathered and clarified the CORE DESIRES, and is the one most capable of fighting back against ZETA, making it her sworn archrival. Although she is known for her courage and wisdom, Sylvia's true power is her desire to teach and share her experiences with others, to empower those around her to live for themselves, even when she cannot be there to help them. Once upon a time, she helped create a game called SAME-DAY STORY, in hopes that it could teach others how to use magic.

[Same-Day Story] More character art for the side-game. Production is halted for now, but that doesn't mean I can't draw some lovely art of the characters!

Cosmo, second member of HEART-STAR. Cosmo is a gender abolitionist, and as such has no gender. A blurb reads as follows: "A cheerful figure, loved by all. It is as if their battles are a show personally made just for you. Molly Valentine is their best friend. Cosmo would like nothing more than for her to be loved as well."

just to keep everyone on this side of things up to speed, i'm trying to make a small side-game for Same-Day Story! hopefully you will be able to experience a small part of its characters and overall weirdness within the coming months...

[Same-Day Story] Been writing notes for a smaller-scoped side game to hopefully actually make something playable for it. Here's some cool supplementary art.

Molly Valentine, first member of HEART-STAR. Molly is holding a black, heart-shaped sword with a strange after-effect. Text reads: "Wielder of the Blade of Illusions, the weakest blade of them all. However, by her own power, she found a way to make it exceptionally strong. If you wish to win a challenge with Molly, you must be able to comprehend her true nature. Otherwise, loss is nearly certain."

Sunfluffs is such a goddamn cool game y'all. I can and will advertise it to my follower base, because it is FULL of peak, even just with its 2 current chapters. I don't think I've ever played a game quite like it before.

(This is an order btw. PLAY IT!!!)

Lucas Watson @lawatson.bsky.social · Jul 14

Been playing this today. Very good. Play it in short sessions, take in the world, and vibe with the adorable characters. The FX is incredible as well. I am going to take way too many pictures in the snapshot mode.

I want to post some Deltarune Chapter 4 art I made so bad but there is no good way to hide it for spoilers on Bluesky other than using adult content labels... You can find it on my mastodon if you're dedicated enough, and maybe I'll post it here once the spoiler dust has cleared a bit...

pride boki from a few years back 😼🌈

Boki cheering while wearing a pride outfit. She's wearing a flowy multi-layered top that's colored like a bisexual flag. There's a lesbian flag colored wristband on her right hand, and a rainbow wristband on her left hand.

[???] I drew this exciting character, but the context is hard to explain. So please appreciate her with no context!

A strange tentacled being with an elegant dark dress and prominent rainbow highlights. Her name is Chromatica, one of countless Arbiter's Agents.
