Yknow there's a lot you could say about the irony of Marvin now that I think about it. It would take Marvin one direct conversation with Dave to completely shatter his perspective about him and how he sees himself in general.

Thread explaining the origins of obscure BG characters in Adventure for fun. I will omit any character I don't believe really needs much introduction at this point, so no Marvin.🧵 #daveandbambi

I'm ngl it kinda kills me to see hate on the sprites I made. Like God forbid I insert traits of things I like into something I've actively been working on for 5 years.
Maybe people will get used to it but I guess this is what I get for making Dave's eyes closer to each other.

Also, rano's bg probably wont be the same in volume 2 anyway. There's no clear view of Dave's house ingame so I very likely will change things.

dave's house is really inconsistent even looking at the art of it in 3.5. I was honestly just trying to make sense of it with this layout, I may change some stuff around if I have to. You can do your own thing for cridab anyway.

drawing dave on the day that volume 1 has released after 207 days. TERMINUS. #daveandbambi #art #dnbterminal
The upper-left quadrant of a larger illustration featuring Dave from Vs. Dave and Bambi. In the thumbnail view, his head is in the bottom right corner with a blue shadow on his face. Behind him are various astronomical objects, such as the Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Gemini constellation, and NGC 7098, a double barred spiral galaxy.

Clicking on the image reveals on the top the rocket launched in Half Life 1 and an astronaut. Text on the top says:

"WE WILL SACRIFY TO TOUCH THE SKY
THEN BURN THE BRIGHTEST DAY
WITH A MATCH WE LIGHT THE DARK OF NIGHT
TO WASH IT ALL AWAY"

On the bottom, it says:

"GONNA MAKE NEW TRACKS AS WE TURN 
OUR BACKS ON THE STARS
WARNING US, STAY WHERE YOU ARE". The upper-right quadrant. In the thumbnail view, Dave is sweating in the foreground with his head in the bottom-left corner, his face covered in a dark purple shadow. Behind him is a painterly render of the PRAEM lit in blue, purple, and white light in a dark space.

Clicking on the image reveals Dave is grimacing and holding his hand up to his face in fear, with his shoulder visible showing he is wearing a white lab coat. On the top there is a black bar cutting off the top of the PRAEM outlined in purple with purple and cyan text reading:

"FATAL DESCENT, SPINNING AROUND
I'VE GONE TOO FAR, TO TURN BACK ROUND
DESPERATE ATTEMPT, STOP THE PROGRESSION
AT ANY LENGTH, LIFT THIS OBSESSION

CRAWLING TO MY GLASS PRISON
A PLACE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS
MY SECRET LONELY WORLD BEGINS
SO MUCH SAFER HERE

A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO
TO FORGET ABOUT MY DAILY SINS"

Behind the text in faint grayscale hues, Muko and Maldo can be seen with concerned expressions as well as several Void cubes. On the bottom of the illustration is a faded headshot of Expunged with a small red pupil and red glass cracks emerging from it. The lower-left quadrant. In the thumbnail view, Dave is smiling in the upper-right corner with his hand held up in a relaxed position. Behind him is his house on a bright cyan day with many of Fort Geraldson's residents in his front yard looking or waving at him. Closest to him is Bambi, Tristan, Playrobot, and the pet cloud sitting on a bench, with Tristan and Bambi each having a hot dog on their plate. Further behind them are Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Muko, Carl, Juan, Maldo, David, Marvin, Bimpe, and Item Planet.

Clicking on the image reveals there are darker clouds high in the sky, indicating a storm approaching. Cubes can be seen in the clouds. In each corner of the image there is text that says:

"I'm feeling good, let's say
My emptiness has gone away
I just woke up today
Eat my corny flakes for you" The lower-right quadrant. In the thumbnail view, Dave is in the upper left corner with his hand held up in a stopping gesture and shaded in red shadows. The Void can be partially seen behind him as well as some red text. This Void is on the left side of the image, while the right side is completely black.

Clicking on the imge reveals Dave is smiling nervously, while Expunged's eye markings are on the top and bottom of the screen. One of Lord Bambi's eyes is inside the marking on the bottom half. Tristan's Golden Heart is behind Dave. Sideways red text along the border of the Void and the black segment reads:

"MY DREAMS ARE ALL I HAVE WHILE REALITY IS COLLAPSING
I WILL FOLD LIKE A TESSERACT, LIKE A DEER IN THE HIGH BEAMS
I'M LIVIN' OUT OF PHASE WITH THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE
CASTING SHADOWS IN A CAVE AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE"

Hopefully, you guys will get to play it soon, but im very proud of 3.5. It feels like the first ever version of Dave and Bambi with a clear direction. We aren't just throwing shit at the wall like in 3.0. Im very glad we managed to make this competent.

After Dave got remade, things just started spiraling from there. There have been a few long breaks in development for me (notably months like December), but other than that, I've been working on 3.5 for nearly a year.
rapparep.bsky.social
Before September 2024, I was hesitant on even touching 3.5 as I was satisfied with the work I had done for 3.0. Funnily enough, Recursed getting removed is what made me consider the state of 3.5. Only a week after Recursed's removal was when I began to work on Dave's new sprites.

Dave and Bambi 3.5 didn't really start development until September/August of 2024. There were sporadic additions before, but late 2024 was when development kickstarted.
