remembered ghost castle. still an aegis lover and i’ve taken an interest in knights, and it’s inspired me to keep working on my own visual novels. lots of love! 🍏

I'm so glad!! Thanks for writing in ☺️

good luck on your visual novels! and some advice: don't put a cutscene illustration in every scene. even if you really want to. you'll have to draw all of them and it'll take seven years and you'll graduate college AND grad school before you're done don't do it resist temptation RESIST TEMPTATION DONT DO IT DONT DO IT DON'T --

Can you believe it guys? Ghost Castle anniversary, just a week away! Wow!

OH MAN YOURE RIGHT (me posting this ask way later is in the spirit of the meme) it's almost three whole years of ghost yaoi!!!!!!!! it's hit 1,752 total downloads over that time, which i personally find quite impressive given i started with nonexistent expectations, haha.

I should draw something. (ominous deadline clock starts counting down) Uh oh

Ghost Castle: Gengar's Love Quest

@aminondrax told me to post this :/ (I'm not normal about banette)

How would a Mimikyu work in Ghost castle?

I think I made a character a while back called Mimi or Kiyu and they were a gardener

Originally a guard/assassin thing that later on disappeared and became a gardener instead

That's cute, Anon! I really like it.

When Mimikyu was announced while we were in development, I think we saw it as a kind of gremlin/creature character, lol. Even more feral than Banette. Takes up residence bc the fairy type castle found them a little TOO eerie. Banette would be a little freaked out by this thing always trailing his elbow but it's just bc Mimikyu wanted to sew clothes with him

No matter what personality they'd have, I think Mimikyu would always unnerve Giratina somewhat. He might be technically unkillable, but that doesn't mean getting fucked up by a fairy type doesn't hurt LMFOSASD;DIF;DFS

some art from cringetober 2020 and 2022. i think the prompt for the first one was big stupid weapon? the second one was definitely shaft headtilt lmao. and the last is fake anime screenshot

i have a huge, obvious Tina bias on account of writing his route..... sorry... LMAOOOO

What would a Sableye act like??

In the early days I think we doodled one as a humble miner. It was hard to distinguish their hair silhouette from Gengar's though, so we didnt do much with them....

If we did have one tho I think a jeweler would suit a castle environment more. a jeweler Sableye would be very haughty and discerning about the quality of jewels adorning the castle. Except, since it's a Sableye, they're mostly concerned about the jewel taste...

We're there any cut characters from Ghost Castle?

Ghost Castle was a "blorbo first, plot second" type of game, so no one really got cut, no! There are side characters that are mentioned but not shown, and a few of them have designs, but I wouldn't call them cut so much as simply not existing as the focus of the story.

You can see lots of them in my ghost hell tag. Ummm also i have this shaymin from 2015. I swear I colored this at some point but I can't find it...

Can I have your blessing to post this fanfic I've been working on about your awesome visual novel? 🙏🙏🙏

Hi anon! Yes, we'd be delighted! :)

[gearstation]

Hello!

What would be in everyone's playlist?

Hi anon! Gosh, this is the type of question I always dreamed about being asked. Of course, now that I actually have it, I don't have a very good answer prepared fgfsdlkfdss thankfully Banette's writer helped bc our music tastes dont overlap

Gengar - It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls LMFAOOOOOOOO my first thought was itadaki mambo from platina jazz bc it has the cutesy vibe, but that ones about women. better go classic. Also, Guy.exe by superfruit

Tina - CHAOS KING by AZALI

Gengar/Tina - Third Eye by florence + the machine

Banette - Stick It To the Man from the broadway School of Rock, Bang! by AJR

Gengar/Banette - Wrecking Ball by Mother Mother

Chandey - There are Many Ways to Say I Love You - sylvan esso, & Curses by the crane wives

Gengar/Chandey - I WANT YOU by carter vail

Aegis - Ancient History by the crane wives (this one was difficult lol.......)

Dreav - Venus Fly Trap & Primadonna by Marina

Cof - You're a Cad by the bird and the bee

Dialga - MECHANICAL GOD by AZALI

Palkia - DIVINITY DISSONANT by AZALI

Question Where the hell does Banette keep the staff?? Does he have that Minecraft inventory???

It seems like he can just summon the thing at any time

Hi anon!

Hahahhaa fun question, thank you. Personally I think he always has it around, even if his sprite isnt shown explicitly holding it. When it is shown in his sprite, it's just that its presence is being emphasized (because he's brandishing it to hit someone... LMFAO).

Another question is- can he take it with him when he phases through walls? I think the default is "no". He has to make a conscious effort to take the staff with him through solid matter, or else it will just bonk off the stone and be dropped. Lollll

hihihi

how would aegis be like in a romantic relationship?

also slightly irrelevant but i can imagine him having the loudest snores ever

Lmao he also sneezes really loud like a dad.

Aegis has been a bachelor for so long he would be genuinely shocked to be pursued lmao. That kind of thing is for the youths????!!!! he'd be so awkward and shy at first. He's rusty......... But once he gets over that part he'd be courteous and sweet. Insists on escorting his partner by the arm. Dropping them off at their home after a date. Cringe ass stuff like dedicating his duels to them. Et cetera. Still gets shy sometimes but blusters his way through being forward.

O-of course you also have to understand that his job comes first!!!!!!!!!! (tina offscreen telling him it's not that serious)

Special case would be if he was dating a longtime friend like Chandelure where there's less of a need to stand on ceremony. They know each other too well. It would just be like coming home ❤️

[gearstation]

my wife says asking for sprite requests would be too mean. someone already nooted you. uh. tell pop tart i love her

The rest of my time on this godforsaken earth will be forever overshadowed by 2013

Is there meant to be a bunch of extra space in the Ghost Castle Gallery? I've completed all the routes but there's still a lot of empty space

At the end of each section, like this?

Yes, they're supposed to be empty! There's no secret content or anything... We just couldn't figure out how to arrange the gallery so that everything fit evenly 🤣

If you've completed all the routes and there's a blank space in between two filled-out spaces, though, that's a coding error......... Oh no............

[gearstation]

I decided to look at your tumblr after playing ghost castle (after wating kwite play it, lol) and I scrolled far enough to find your hypnosis mic posts... and then it had me thinking about Tina drawn as Jakurai. (possibly Gengar dressed up as Hitoya too)

Lmao..... I haven't been keeping up with the most recent hypmic developments (last i heard they all put on a concert because the government shut down?) but I still love that camp ass series. my favorite character is Rei... you can all throw tomatoes at me now
