Unmute is all wrapped up, along with digital conversions of Radiance’s Princess variant and Ghost Girl’s Christmas-themed variant are up on Steam and being pretty well received. In an odd twist of things, Spirit of the Solstice was the one I saw the most clamor for. Bizarre.
In other news, I am continuing along with my work on Challenger Park but I also managed to pull Ghost Girl’s home of Oakland Cemetery across the finish line. If I can manage to finish it and St. Lucia up, I’d like to package all three environments together since environments tend to be the least exciting new addition to the game. St. Lucia is proving difficult on that front, however, so it might be two environments.
With that in mind, I would certainly appreciate some input from @Margie on Oakland Cemetery since it is Ghost Girl’s home, though as always input from everyone is much appreciated. In particular, I feel like my handling of all of Charlotte’s dialogue is only adequate at best.
Charlotte Palmer’s Grave
Art: A mid-shot of Charlotte’s headstone. In the background, Netherwarden is lurking, just barely visible except for their glowing right eye.
Quote: Nono was very confused. “So if your ghost was turned into a person, does that mean your dead body is still down there?” “I hadn’t thought of that, dear.”
Devon Crowninshield
Art: Devon looming from a catwalk, observing something we cannot see.
Quote: Devon’s PAIMON project started a lot of buzz around Tyran Tower, he just needed suitable test subjects to test his theories on divinity.
Echoes of Battle
Art: A two card spread, with only half the art on either card (there are two copies total). Dr. Infinity/Clockwork and the Magus are locked in combat, each at arm’s length from one another.
Quote: Echoes of the battle between Clockwork and the Magus rung out throughout time and space. Just whenever one thought the fight was finally over, they reappeared.
Free-Roaming Spirits
Art: A group of ghosts (see here) are swirling around a character, probably one of the Ponies. The character looks apprehensive about this.
Quote: “They’re harmless,” Charlotte said with a laugh that betrayed whether she fully believed that. “Just don’t let too many of them gang up on you. They’re… feisty.”
Hallow’s Eve Picnic
Art: Ghost Girl and the Ponies setting up a picnic in the cemetery. Around them, friendly-looking ghosts are looking to join.
Quote: Charlotte loves these get-togethers with the girls. Leslie called it a séance, but Charlotte just saw it as a get-together between both her new families.
Magus Griffith’s Tomb
Art: A still smoldering crater in the ground, ringed with sparks of eldritch fire.
Quote: A crater named for what seemed like the end of a fatal clash between Clockwork and the Magus, but then they showed up again, and again, and again…
Manny’s Left Arm
Art: A disembodied skeletal arm strangles Pietro the Plasma Prince. Manny is floating nearby, but doesn’t seem to concerned about this.
Quote: “Watch out for it, lad!” Manny shouted as the skeletal arm wrung Pietro’s neck. “'Tis a sinister appendage!”
Whisper of Pandemonium
Art: Someone walking through the Cemetery, assaulted by ghostly faces that they do not seem to notice, except that they look unwell.
Quote: The Netherwarden’s nemesis, the terrible Pandemonium, is less an entity than an idea. A dark cloud of directionless divinity that could form wherever lost souls congregate. The pull to join is hard to reject.
Tyran Scientists
Art: A pair of nerds stealthy exploring the Cemetery. Ghosts lurk nearby.
Quote: Devon brought assistants to help him conduct his research. He did, however, fail to mention that they were also part of the test group.
Wound in the Worlds
Art: Leo Snow stands in front of a small portal with a sparking handheld device, like the sensor from the Ghostbusters movie Egon always had.
Quote: Cancerous tumors on the multiverse created from the battle between Magus Griffith and Clockwork. Ghost Girl is driven to find the answer to getting rid of them.
In particular, the quotes on Devon, Manny, and the Scientists are bit short with the Tyran pairs having a bit of dead space on the fourth line, while Manny’s only takes up part of three lines which looks super awkward in the space.
The quote on Whispers of Pandemonium, however, take up five lines and so could use some tightening up. What I have right now was definitely written more towards just having something to put there as opposed to something I felt strongly about, so if anyone has a better/different direction to take that one, feel free to take a crack at it.
