Some post Christmas reading. #Hellebore
Photo of the 2023 Hellebore Yuletide Hauntings zine. The cover shows a photo of a ghostly woman in a graveyard holding a candelabra.

Amongst the first rpg butts I saw was in Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I believe this is by Jeff Dee.
Black and white illustration. 4 fantasy adventurers are framed walking away from the viewer, while a brain with legs watches them. The woman in the party is wearing by far the least clothes, but everyone's butt is in frame.

Some tiny party people by Dirk Detweiler Leichty for TROIKA! Numinous Edition. I'm starting to run out of butts. I didn't plan this well.
Some abstract naked people partying on a building. The people are red and yellow ink, while the details around them are red, blue, and black. One person is sitting on the other person and you can see the top of their crack. The bottom person has a bottle of something they're pouring off the roof of the building.

Mutant Crawl Classics cat girl butt by Doug Kovacs. The future is pants-optional.
Black and white ink illustration of a humanoid female cat wearing lots of bands, bones, and spikes. She has a shirt with a short skirt like thing, but no pants. She is holding two daggers and wearing headphones around her neck. The background is full of graffiti on the ground, puddles and mess, and some other characters who have been cropped out of frame.

The Murder Princess by Carlo Tartaglia from Break!! All the character design is so fucking good.
Drawing of a severe looking woman wearing very tight gray pants and various pieces of gray armor. She is holding a large purple poleaxe. She has blue hair in two large buns. She is facing away from the viewer and looking over her shoulder with a glare.

Pengling from UVG 2E by Luka Rejec. No distinct cheeks, but I still like it a lot. Shows that adventurers need less pants than you expect.
An adorable short penguin person adventurer carrying a big backpack and no pants. They have a tiny stubby tail. Another penguin person is in the background facing foreground person. In the distance you can see the ocean.

I really like this knight butt by Andrew Walter in Dolmenwood as well.
Small section of a painting showing a naked man with a knight's helmet emerging from a bath tub.

I'm cataloguing my favorite butts in rpgs. I think Sean McCoy's Mothership space butt is pretty high up there.
Black and white painting of a naked person floating in space. It is very rough, butt the cheeks are clearly visible.

The creepy androids just say hi now. Not sure how far I'll actually get with this project. Losing a bit of motivation. Gonna try to stick with it for a bit.

Now he's wearing yellow and full of Catholic guilt.
Same android but wearing a yellow jumpsuit with a cross on the chest.

Friendly neighborhood android.
PS1 style screenshot. A grey-skinned android with glowing eyes wearing bright blue stands menacingly in a dark industrial corridor.

It's important for your maps to have lots of comments and description.
A old school looking dungeon map made in DungeonScrawl. One label says "Goopy", the one other says "Goopy side".

Normal man in nice corridor.
Now there is a creepy naked looking figure at the end of the corridor. The head and neck are just a tall red mass with non-descript features.

More spooky.
Nearly the same screenshot as above, but now with filters to look like it is displayed on an old TV.

Spooky industrial space.

#Gamedev #PSX
PS1 styled render of a grotty industrial hallway. Blue rubber floors and rusting metal walls. A pipe hangs from the ceiling. It is only illuminated by flashlight.

Returning home after exploration in the Polar Ocean.

Tile-based pixel art game screenshot. A large city to the south. Snowy ocean filled with little ships in the middle. The player is the brightest ship in the center. The edges of the screen are filled with nautical decorations.

The meat of my #PROCJAM 2025 entry will be these logs. As you sight different creatures and locations, different story tracks will move along in randomized ways. A limited set of crew members have random events and can die or be changed by the weird polar ocean.

Tile-based pixel art screenshot of a sailing ship in an icy ocean. There are many giant squids and giant corals. A log at the bottom says: "Captain's Log Day 34. First Tallboots sighted strange bubbles under the ice. Rapidly the ice broke apart and we sighted a beast of legends, a gigantic squid. A dreadful eye lolled about in a peculiar fashion before slowly sinking beneath the water in a mess of tentacles."

I am gonna have to write a lot of journal entries for my #PROCJAM 2025 game 😅
## BlueWhale 1 The men have spotted many whales spouting on our journey. They seem to be moving with us to the North. The mournful song of the whales is haunting to me. Though some of the men find it beautiful. [Man] has told me he is writing the songs down to bring back to Bastion. I will request Doctor Grungefall check on him. More blasted whales each day. That the council sent us without proper hunting equipment troubles me endlessly. Some days the sounds of endless sheets of breaking ice, and the dreadful wind, mixes with the songs of the whales to an odious degree. I can longer tell the three apart. [Man] has been looking somber and stops his work every time he hears them.

Normally I do itch.io covers for video games using art from the game. For Last Voyage of the Tartarus I think I'm going to use collage instead.

#PROCJAM 2025 #Collage #Gamedev
Collage image of a sailing ship in a land filled with icebergs and ancient ruins. The sky is full of images of undersea life. The title says "Last Voyage of the Tartarus".

Screenshot of a tilebased pixel art game. A sailing ship is moving across icy water towards a green stone shore covered in alien buildings. Light pixel snow flakes cover the screen.
