When we pitched the Penguins of Madagascar, we intially were pretty set on it being traditionally animated. However after working on Spider-Verse, I've come around to a more 2.5D style. Here are some tests for how I imagine the characters could be rendered.

New Game Released!

Paraconscience by Jade D

Dreams, Memory, Music

Website crashed before I could submit it to the Game Jam it was made for (I'm starting to see a pattern with last minute uploads being a bad idea) Probably my last game in this version of Godot too. Need to update so I can use proper html exporting.

If you find anything major and totally broken I could be convinced to look at it again and fix the mistakes, but only if there is interest.

This is why I don't fandom certain shows.

what creatures does your wip have? fairies? angels? just boring old humans? humans who are mysteriously all the same exact hight?

i cant wait to be bombarded with worldbuilding

for me personally, its usually boring humans, but i also love writing about angels :D

[jade-dolphi]

Okay is my humans are all different heights :} But I have in extrodinary amount of cyborgs. Like shambling half-human half machine cyborgs, fully integrated 'perfect human' cyborgs, disemobodied brains that live in abandoned facilities cyborgs.

My favorite concept has always been the Machinmen (pronounced Ma-kin-men). They are human brains and nerve clusters placed into mechanical shell bodies that in turn resemble human bodies but with enhanced strength, stamina, reduced dietary needs, ect. Engel-class Machinmen are peace officers somewhere between paramedics and policemen. They are dispacted to dangerous situations or when a human officer couldn't possibly react fast enough. Lan-class are general purpose laborers, but have a bad reputation as they are often purchased by cheapskates who want to avoid proper human labor cost and workers rights. Mena-class are designed for household chorse and are almost always female presenting. Hailen-class are healthcare workers, and are often given enhanced immune systems to avoid spreading disease to those in their care.

I like Mediterranean food, just not lamb.

So I really like Mediterranean food, right? But when people think of it, they might think of the gyros and the kebabs. And the more "exotic" meat, lamb. But like, I don't like the concept of eating lamb. It's kinda weird to me. It has nothing to do with the preparation: Irish, Mediterranean, Indian. It has everything to do with the concept of eating a baby sheep feels a little off. Besides, my favorite Mediterranean food is the vegetarian stuff anyway. I could eat pita, hummus, and falafel everyday. And I love spanakopita and dolma, even if they are less popular.

If I were to go to a Mediterranean restaurant with someone I really liked, I would hope they would not pressure me to order lamb. I would hope they would be okay sharing tapas with me and not questioning why I'm not ordering any 'real food'. And like it wouldn't it be really weird if after I told them I didn't like lamb, they started taking me out to restaurants in hopes of me 'giving up' and trying lamb.?

That doesn't seem like a normal or healthy thing to do, does it?

Maybe my aversion to lamb is in some way psychological. Maybe if I grew up in another time or place, eating lamb would be seen as a necessary part of life. Kinda like how in certain places / times in human history, one could not feasibly be vegetarian. No problem with that. Still doesn't make me want it. Maybe going to therapy could help me get over my aversion to at least tolerate it. But like,

Why?

It's not like the human race is at risk of going extinct if I don't eat lamb.

I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS NAME AND IM HERE TO COLLECT MY TAX

what is your characters name? why did you chose it? Was it random or does it have a meaning? Does your character have any nicknames?

u better answer

okay bye

[jade-dolphi]

This has a story!

SO I wrote an au of my characters and liked their new names so much that I just decided to keep them!

Hope (originally a very white person with a very weird quirk of being only 1 foot tall but really smart with gadgets) -> Esperanza Herrera (A race swap but with the last name being a reference to her more techy nature, being the equivalent of Smith.

Rostislav Volkov -> Benjamin "Beni" Antonov (Rostislav is a very traditional Russian name, but when I essentially had his father take over his original backstory, the name went with his father and I gave him a more 'American' name but still inspired by Jewish tradition. I also chose the name Antonov because I like the sound better and a few Russian immigrant musicians have that last name.)

Carter Farson -> Bryce Fairfield (Carter got changed so much in the au and I liked his personality more, so it became his main personality. It went from Carter Farson -> Bryce Wayne, a bad batman pun converting Carter to Wayne -> I kept Bryce but Farson was a silly last name so I changed it to Fairfield. Fairfield implying both wealth and he likes planes, Fairfield close to airfield)

Charlotte -> Clarity Fairfield (Charlotte use to be an acronym back when she was a fully android character and for the life of me I don't remember the acronym. Computer humanoid android replacement something something. I actually changed her name to Clarity back when she was a still an android/computer program. BUT later she became a cyborg and Bryce's sister, taking the last name Fairfield.)

Terry Anderson -> Terrance Lloyd Sanders (I just made Terry a nickname because people kept misgendering him. Sanders is the Jamaican equivalent of Anderson and his dad is Jamaican. His mother is Welsh and thus the middle name.)

Demetrius DeMilo (Chosen specifically because I thought the name 'Dr. Demento' was cool)-> Demetria DeMilo (She is a girl now)

Honorable mention: Aleksander Volkov also had his last name changed to match his bother's.

[jade-dolphi]

Special Extended Edition:

Hope was originally named because of her medical condition *and* she used to have an evil twin and thus needed a "good twin" type name.

Benjamin is the youngest of the sons of Jacob, so he has permanent younger sibling vibes embedded into his name.

Carter was originally an every-man but super smart genius dutoragonist type that would have probably been played by Chris Pratt. Hence the every-man dutoragonist name. See also John Carter of Mars.

Clarity was a very literal name for a computer program that was the focus of - bringing Clarity to- Dr. DeMilo's life. But it still works in the story because the dynamic is still there.

Anderson and the derived name Sanders means 'son of Anders / Andrew' which in turn Anders / Andrew means 'brave'. He is 'son of the brave', and his career is haunted by the expectation to live up to his father's impressive MI6 career.

The first time I heard of Dr. Demento was in a UFO Phil song. And I really liked the rhythm behind that name so I stole it.

Aleksander roughly translates to "savoir of mankind", a title that might seem ironic until about book 3. Real reluctant hero stuff.
