Sorry for the inactivity. I have to admit, right now, I am falling out of love with playing the game and I want to move on to other things. I was sort of losing interest around March and the last Easter event, but I had wanted to wait and see if I could muster up the motivation and it would come back to me… so far, it hasn’t.
This video and the start of this video sums up the feelings I’ve been seeing within the community for a while. That's not to say I won’t ever get back into this franchise again but there’d have to be something to really get me back into it.
For context, this AU was originally going to be kept private amongst the group of friends who introduced me to the game. Because I didn’t get a chance to show it personally to that group, I figured I just had to do SOMETHING with it because I was so mad fixated on the game. It was always more of a “let’s see how long I can go drawing Dandy’s World stuff and whatever happens just happens” sorta thing but I still wish I got to finish more before my motivation ran out 😭. I had about 20 or so comics fully written out but I had gotten burnt out really easily since I was the only one working on them.
Back in March, I genuinely had wanted to finish a lot of my drafts sitting around and believe me I made an effort to but ... I don’t know, I’m gonna be real. I feel like I’m a completely different person than before. I just don’t have that passion anymore.
For the False God comic I had wanted the Twisteds to look 3D but I just could never get the look right. It’s clear this is out of my skillset and I would have to build that skill in my own time. Here was what I managed to finish:
Some of the future ideas were going to include:
As compensation, here's some other art drafts I could find:
Thank you guys so much for the support, this was such a fun ride. I'll still be making art here and there, but man I just really gotta take a break from Dandy's World and focus on some of my original art. I’ve just moved on to other things, like consuming multivitamins and making a Letterboxd account. Until next time…
I put the Mo 3D file on Sketchfab and I completely forgot to mention it here.
Also, I'm getting really close to finishing the next comic! Hold out a little longer...
can I just say how funny it is that Cosmo's heal range got buffed in the actual game? because i actually had a plot point about Cosmo improving his range in the comics that i set up for a while now holy crap
im grinding for ornaments for the christmas update so you are not going to see me around for a bit. i got bobette yesterday teehee. wish me luck on the golden skin quests those are probably going to take a while
I would really like to work on longer AU comics but i realize it will take a bit more planning/reordering than I anticipated (there are about 20 written out). I'll try to finish up random art pieces in my drafts in the meantime.
There is one particular piece of the art direction that i need to figure out and streamline before i work on anything. the whole comic relies on how good this looks so i need to get it right. i think youll know what it is when it happens
I'm officially in the process of moving out, so my art output is going to be a little slower. You may have noticed my art output was already slower since I was either grinding for the Halloween update. Hopefully in November, things would be sorted out and I can pump out comics again.
oohhh my god bruh.
so... to give you an Idea. over the past months, starting from March of this year (2025), I have accumulated 50+ Google Doc pages worth of gameplay mechanic ideas and 80+ pages of dialogue on a separate document (for my Dandy's World Story Mode concept or for the comics)... I might be a little insane.
the thing with the huge Petal Prayer game mechanic document is that i was conceptualizing it entirely in the form of an actual playable game instead of comics.
so most of the things there.. i dont know how to explain in comic form that would be appealing. but let it be known theres some stuff that isnt explained yet because i dont really know how LOL.
but either way, whether or not i figure it all out,
i have like 10-12 comics planned already that I need to get out of my system first. most of them I've already started working on and I know how they go in my head. technically theres a lot more comic ideas I have in my brain but i definitely want to get those ten or twelve done first.
i cant estimate time frames because my schedule tends to be unpredictable...
it kinda just happens when my motivations comes and goes.
AND as always, thank you so much to everyone leaving awesome messages in the guestbook page. it means a lot to me. im really blown away how much people enjoyed this project so far when genuinely speaking, ive only managed to make and share about 5% of what is inside my mind... like we havent even gotten to the juicy stuff yet. not even close
ohh my god dude i just realized. i dont even think we will get to the Cosmo-Shrimpo/healer-basher toon gameplay strat comic for a while. and theyre like. one of the main pillars of the AU. im biting and gnawing at the walls guys.. i wanna get these out so badlyy raghghghhgghhgg. is this how Toby Fox feels every day? i think this is like a fraction of the pain Toby Fox feels about Deltarune not being fully out yet. how does one live like this
