Mainly patience and interesting things to play with. Many suggesters enjoy a creation sequence, and if you use that to exposit the world, even better. experimentation, too. But as bitequest said, even the best sometimes have to sit and play with one dude. Don't give up!

I think the pacing of the story has gotten better. You're a lot better about moving us from scene to scene where we have a lot of options/input to provide, whereas in the beginning you would occasionally leave us hanging on a frame where there was nothing to say.

I've always liked the style of your story, what with action, plot and dicking around in equal measures. We still get the idea that we're going somewhere and doing important stuff, but the drama never overtakes the humorous style.

Also, def. needs more extradimensional whale sex (The males are based off of placoderms).

So, uh. I'm sorry for the terrible pacing lately. University's been very busy lately, as has my personal life. Hopefully there should be more frequent updating in March. I'm torn as to whether it's preferrable to do 'update sessions' (say, on Sunday), or instead just squeeze out one or two updates over the course of a week. Your thoughts on this, anon?

>>321029
I think one or two a week whenever you feel like it would be better than confining yourself to any sort of schedule. Take heed to past quests, if you start to dislike it by forcing yourself, there's no fun for anyone. Slower yet enjoyable is the way to go.

Railguns have recoil its just softer than an equivalent conventional fire arm.

What does everyone think of pausing the rush for the icon to research stuff like super gunships, maybe some form of improved tank or more armour on BRICs etc. given the new threat we now face?

i think the combo nexus and heatshell tech will be anti-magic armor.put that on the bottom of ships and BAM dryads are totes boned

>>332391
I think we should finish the Nexus research. It might not give us an immediate solution to our problems but I do think it's something that's going to be very useful down the line and might give us a way to stop more furries from porting in.

How much RP for drogue retarded grenades? Some kind of infantry weapon which fires an explosive which slows down as it approaches the target to about as fast as an incoming sword, then explodes on impact.

Also, how much RP for these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerhaubitze_2000

(IE, a fast firing Howitzer mounted on an APC chassis, cheap on superconductors and with lots of fire power for infantry support)

Ah, Chronomancy, a good idea.

>>332411

Well, I certainly like the action packed nature, our growing ability to move through characters, and our immense surge in allied powers. I definitely look forward to giving Morde some love in this land.

However, the current events feel insanely rushed, as if Morde, if he could, should probably be exhausted. In what feels like no time at all, we've dealt with four rather insane scales of battle (Eisenhardt, Human army, Premen battle, and Deep Spawn battle).

Although I totally look forward to events here, at some point I feel we need a moment/month (in golemquest time) to actually allow us to work out things like R&D/Personell in Arcanoworks, dealing with the state and solidifying our holds, and working out a moment to work with people like Jezebel who have kinda been on the sidelines due to our running around. It feels like were constantly running around, and as such must be missing/forgetting some things we wanted to do at some point as a result.

How many points will it cost to have the Professor build us our own body? He's already got a (probably used) skeleton, so it won't take a whole lot of material acquisition to do.

>>332384

It depends on how you interface with the body. If you're a permanent part of the body, as in your soul is inserted into the body and you bond properly with it, you'll effectively be changing your template. You'll lose the Astral Entity template and adopt a normal human template (probably one with an additional 71 points in advantages, since a vanilla human template with all the base stats set to 10 is 0 points).

If you can jump in and out of the body, you'll have to buy the body as a Puppet (5 points), and get the Possession advantage with the Puppet Only, Spiritual, and Mindlink Required limitations. Possession is normally a 100 point advantage, but with all three limitations it would only cost 20 points. The mindlink with your puppet body would cost 5 points, so you're looking at 30 points total to have a body that you could exclusively control, and at your leisure leave (like when the body needs to sleep, or when you want to peek through a wall).

How much would it cost to raise our stats? It seems like almost all our skills are based on IQ or Per, so it would probably be a solid investment.

How much would it cost to get an Unaging for our mindlink guy?

>>332403

10 points per improvement in HT or ST, 20 per improvement in DX or IQ. If you buy up ST you'll be able to interact with and affect intangible things (for example, you could hit another spirit). You'll need to buy off the "Always On" limitation on your Insubstantiality advantage if you want to be able to affect the normal physical world.

Improving Perception or Willpower costs 5 character points per improvement. HP costs 2 points per improvement and FP costs 3 points.

>>332418

The point cost is 15 character points, but I won't make you guys pay for Sherman's upgrades.

I dead? No no.

Last few weeks have been very busy weeks for me lately. First official job plus a series of apartment clean-up and pest control have left me with little time around the internet. I've almost thought of undergoing a quest hiatus because of those, but ultimately decided not to.

However, there will be very limited activity coming from me and my quests, at least while the aforementioned conditions haven't been completed yet. Fortunately, I still find time to draw, though it's during the day and so I can't really indulge into stuff that I'd usually draw when I'm up at 3 AM with no one else.

Status report, there.

Congrats on the job. Glad you'll still be around, I really enjoy your quests and stuff.

Here's something I whipped up just now. A Talyxian which to me looks almost anatomically-correct. Could it be Amina from Sanya Quest or someone unrelated?

There's a chance you might see this in Tinker Quest, so watch out! For now, I'll work on how to make it even more Talyxian-like.

If any of the people/artists in the community who have experience with flash would help me out I would appreciate your time. I just started working with the program rather recently. I would like to learn it but I am a pragmatic learner. This is a nice way to say I learn things slowly and have to actively work with shit a while before I have it down.

I am trying to put together a flash for Chapter 13 (which is a chapter I am not even on). I figure if I can get some help learning and putting it down in advance I will not slow down the quest more than I already have/will trying to figure it out.

Thanks for anyone who will work with me in advance.

I haven't been keeping up with any discussion, so don't mind me if this has been said. I mentioned it to Insomnia and she suggested I mention it in here.

I've been thinking about who "them" are. As in the "Don't let them" we've been seeing everywhere, and recently, "Let them" written on the note at the marina.

So here's my question, though likely not relevant in the slightest. What if "them" is us?

But why wouldn't we let us?

Here's an idea for a Tiffany background:
The Demon, Tiffany, Dad, Gareth, and Mulder all posed as a team! (I'm assuming the Demon will remain a character of some significance, of course) Background could be some spell, probably including the elements involved in Mulder's creation and the demon's binding

Because that would be cool. I would totally use it.

Thanks for running it. Was enjoyable. And I use 1440x900, personally, but I understand that's not the most popular.

>>332366
A background for the quest, to me, would have to have Tiffany alone. That seems like the heaviest theme here; ultimately, she can't depend on anyone else, and she has to make her own difficult choices while threatened by terrible powers. Just Tiffany, small and lonesome in the darkness filled with threats.

But perhaps I'm excessively gloomy.

mistake in post.

Pixel count is quartered, not halved when resolution updates.
And just in case this part was not clear, pixels of that colour you accumulate afterwards will be of that level.


Some general things I thought I should mention.

-If you only have one pixel remaining, then it's game over.

-If you are damaged, all time spent by the blue pixels trying to form new pixels goes to restoration instead.
-New pixels are only formed if your form is pristine.

-Red pixels, at the cost of being worth more individually, take much longer to be repaired.

-D.Grey pixels make it easier for you to control your body. The more you have, the easier it is for you to change shape.

-The larger your size, the slower you move, baring speed boosting pixels or sufficient control centers.


Thats about it for now. As usual, comments are appreciated.
