👁 THE CITY SECTOR 👁

Visit Original Link

Okay I have been cooking this up for the fun of it ,,, but no where to post so HI TUMBLR teehee Trapped Towers account is posting again lol Little context but since the world of Alton Towers would have been magically expanded (literally) and Oblivion is gone. X-Sector above ground becomes a barren wasteland... but below the ground? I bring you THE CITY SECTOR. One of the various sectors the Ministry of Joy has created to home all their advocates new and old... and keep a closer eye on them. This distopian location is filled with towering buildings, hypnotic propaganda, drones watching, and much much more that our teen protaganist - Tom - would have to avoid while attempting to escape Mr Smiles' clutches. I'd like to make a few more concept tracks for Trapped Towers tbh. I have a Dark Forest arrangement that works as a general area theme for that location... also I'd like to tackle Forbidden Valley again at some point. Anyway, maybe you'll see more in the future. Who knows!

For now that's all. Bye guys lol

[justdaniel-eh]

I like making music ,,,, go take a listen ,,,, I know y'all are not the Undertale community but Smiler songs were heavily anticipated and asked for when we was an Undertale AU lol so y'all better appreciate modern TT finally having a more "official" Smiler related song

How To Support AnoVerse 💫

Pre-orders will run from April 15th until May 31st, and I can only make these a reality if we hit AT LEAST 10 ORDERS, so if you want this book get sharing, get talking. There will be lots more marketing after pre-orders begin too, but the more chatter the better!

So invite your friends and get comfy - the server will be opening up to the public this Friday in preperation for the books release!

Thank You

When all's said and done though, I have one last thing to say to you all. Thank you.

Whether you choose to support the project or not, I'm forever grateful for those who follow me and see what I post. It's weird to have something to properly release finally and I hope this snowballs into something bigger than any of us could ever imagine... so again, thank you ❤️

I'll see you all again soon 💫

[justdaniel-eh]

Reblogging this to put this in peoples feeds again - also some updates, though not good ones sadly :(

1. Server opening is being delayed because it is 8pm and I am getting set for work... I expected to have more time after class however I ended up locking in with my assignments 🙏 and honestly they come first

2. The worse of the two updates - shipping is being limited to the UK and North America. North America could be cut, however I have two friends who have told me they really want to buy the book so I'm at least trying more. However, my preperation for the rest sort of fell out of place sadly :( again though it'll be available online later in the year for all !! Hopefully in the future I can sell worldwide.

Anyway sad updates, not the start I wanted, BUT the book is still exciting and I'm still confident everywhere else. Speak to you all again soon 💫

Hi guys - Smaller AV Book Update

This is just kinda a "progress is moving" update because I wanted to write out a full update... almost could have

BUT I am ill as all hell... so I will not be finishing what I had. It's fine though because I can put more into the next update... which could be quite special if my plans go correctly.

I don't want to confirm it yet, but between now and the next update I could announce the pre-order date !! Early April is now what we're looking at, marketing materials are being prepared, and much more is being made for the book itself...

I hope to get this book into your hands sooner than later - I've actually had the first review/feedback on the work in progress !! So shoutout to my mother who pointed out grammer issues, but generally complimented and was very positive about the writing itself haha :)

Anyway... see you all later !!

[justdaniel-eh]

The day I privately finalised a pre-order date for the AnoVerse book and was feeling confident in no delays I'm

WHOLE ASS KEY BROKE. I'M NOT WRITING LIKE THIS. IT'S SO ANNOYING

THE UNIVERSE SAW ME GETTING CLOSE AND WENT ❌❌❌❌❌❌ NOT ALLOWED

Anyway that's my crashout on tumblr dot com 🙏

Fyi the key being like this isn't why it's broken this was just the cutting point that happened as I tried to fix it (I'm shit with computers)

Oh also I will be sorting this just. Need the next pay day to happen. Plus it's not the end of the world y'all will see a lot more art from me.

AnoVerse Book Updates

Good morning tumblr :D

Figured since I mentioned the AnoVerse book in my last post ,,, little update time. I've been hard focusing (as much as I can between work and assignments anyway) the artistic side and refining the first half of the written book itself... so let me break down the work done for you all !

Writing Updates ✍

As I said, I've been refining the first half of the written book. This hasn't just been rereading and changing sentances either... I noticed come chapter 3 that I was writing a LOT more than I expected for the first half because I was so much more focused on character interactions since that was what the story was becoming for that part. It prompted me to reread what I'd done so far and realise that I did actually want to include more of that since we only get limited time with Deejay and Minister in the picture together. So whole sections have been added to reach a standard I'm more happy with.

Obviously the biggest issue that comes with that is pacing... I personally think I can make the pacing work - but the sudden increase in content by the chapter is something I'm trying to figure out how I want to work around. For the record - chapter 1 at the moment is just under 2000 words... chapter 2 is just under 4000 ! Nearly double ! It's very hard to just cut out writing and character moments I'm happy with and love !! I'll figure it out though eventually before release, I wouldn't want to release something I'm not happy with.

Art Updates 🖌

So... this post opened with something new as you may have seen.

Finally - I've made the AnoVerse 2025 logo !

A new logo is something I was wanting to get down for a while... I mean the old logo was outdated the second Deejay got an updated design - not to mention I felt it wasn't something I could utilise dynamically with each story. The original focused too much on representing each character rather than the story... and yes this new logo still has some character focused decisions here as you may be able to tell, but it's for a much greater purpose.

The red star is very much the series' logo and brand now to me. It'll make more sense after the Cosmos Cuprite arc has finished (which will be the first arc to begin if the series begins proper production), however even past that I personally see a lot in stars that resonates with AnoVerse. A star to me represents hope and new beginnings. Adventure maybe even as the unknown calls to be discovered. It's a universal consistant that I feel can apply to AnoVerse no matter the situation.

Anyway... enough about the star. Look at them !!

The front cover is coming along nicely... I removed the background for this image since it's not yet done haha and I don't want to show EVERYTHING off, but I had a lot of fun drawing these three and am excited to draw more of them for this project.

Fun little fact about this... I wanted to give them all unique party hairstyles too, but sooner realised that Minister was the only one who fit giving him a different hairstyle - I mean, he's trying extra hard to be presentable for this haha. On the contrary, Deejay is just here for a good time and Samantha always has her hair back in case she needs to go into action.

No it wasn't because I couldn't find hairstyles I liked trust me. I swear.

The Future (at the moment) ✨

Honestly... I just wanna talk a little bit more about the future of this real fast. First of all - roadmap goals. I'm still very confident in the ones I set for the most part, but I'm considering adjustments since I've began to realise how much of my time that assignments and work is taking up. I still think pre-orders will be up in the next 2-4 weeks, but I think I'll be leaving pre-orders up for 2 months so that I can have plenty of time to ensure everything is ready AND properly market the book which would push the book itself closer to a mid-June release with the online release becoming August.

This definitely affects my conceptual plans for the next year if this is a success, but it's not a massive deal since I think I knew deep down that it was a tad unreasonable... I still very much think I could get at least the first 3 books out in 2026.

Anyway, that's all. I just wanted to provide more updates. Hopefully these updates can come every 2 weeks, just depends what I have to report... we'll see though.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading, hope to see you again soon :D

[justdaniel-eh]

Him 💛

I'm still working hard on the AnoVerse book trust... but also Welcome to The Joyscape has kinda began to share my brain too. I will say - this is a first. Both AnoVerse AND Joyscape sharing my brain is rare, but very welcomed. I'm happy to be slightly working on one while focusing on a big project for the other. Been feeling very attatched and proud of both projects recently so <3 yeah Here's one last Welcome to The Joyscape thing to add to this post though because why not

Potential park map layout :) Anyway yeah yippee yay byeee that's all lol

AnoVerse Book Update 📚

Hey guys. Hiiii. So y'know how last time I did an AnoVerse blog post I essentially did an interest check an AnoVerse book... Well I have updates because it did recieve enough for me to believe it is viable to do.

[Above: Concept cover. Heavily WIP]

So. First and foremost - story. This story is not the beginning of AnoVerse. Consider it like a pilot book. It's not necessarily something done - I know - but not any part of how this book is being "published" is normal, and so who cares. Point is, this book is here to show the vision for AnoVerse, and has a mixture of what I want the series to be. It will not be perfect for sure, I'm not a professional writer, but it will be the best it can.

So... what is the story?

Minister and Deejay attend one of the richest parties man can afford, hosted by Mayor Plum at Illumai Manor... only issue is Minister has been an isolated inventor for most of his life, only promising to come along because he specifically got invited. Now the old man has to survive a night with his lover, worst enemy, and many new faces without having a breakdown. Meanwhile, follow the chaos back home as Ave and Danny try to navigate the darkness of their own powerless house, and subsequentially try to fix it.

As you can see, the story will have an A/B plot structure, with 5 chapters that cover each section. It's looking to be around 15,000 words, so hopefully it'll have a good amount of content for my first book!

Pricing 💲 and Roadmap 🛣

I've spent the last few weeks, between writing, looking at pricing and the roadmap for this and I think I'm ready to share this information.

The book itself will be paperback and cost £11.99 with worldwide shipping. Shipping prices will change dependant on your location: UK has free shipping; Europe shipping is £2.99; and everywhere else is £5.99. This is to account for the additional cost it will take to ship outside of the UK, whereas UK shipping is already considered in the book's price. Though, I have plans to do what I can to find ways to reduce shipping costs in the future.

Hardcover copies will come to future books dependant on sales.

As for the roadmap - there's not lots to say for this book. The current aims are:

Writing Completion - March 2025

Art Completion - Late March/April 2025

Pre-orders - Late March/Early April 2025 (Set to last a month)

Shipping - Late May 2025

Online Release - July 2025

These dates I believe are feasible at the moment - the book itself is 50% done in terms of writing with art concepts now being started (as seen by the first image). These dates are set to change, however I do not wish to have this book out any later than June 2025. This is because if things go well - I have the plan for books 1-4... but I'm not ready to share info on them just yet, besides the fact that I would like them to be released over 2026.

One last thing I'd like to talk about that may standout here... the "online release." Given that this book is absolutely a test to gage interest in the series - I need actual reviews and opinions on the book. So, as a result, I will be releasing it later online after the physical books have shipped (or we may skip straight to that if I don't get enough pre-orders). The e-book version may be free, but I may charge a small price for it, I'm currently unsure. Either way, if you wish to support and see this series be made a reality - the physical book will be the way to go as that is what WILL get this series made.

Anyway, that's all the information I have for now. If you've read this far - thank you. I'll hopefully have more updates soon enough.

[justdaniel-eh]

More AnoVerse Sillies ✨

Hey guys :) guess who has been up to stuff again.

Be ready - massive ramble session coming up on y'all about art, writing, and I have a poll at the end regarding content that some maybe be interested in seeing...?

Been messing around with AnoVerse yet again. No game dev stuff this time though - instead, been hard at work drawing and writing. Yeah I know one day I'll make up my mind on a format for my stuff lol

REDESIGNS 🎨

First thing you might notice about the above doodle - I'm working on redesigning Deejay 😲 oh my goodness !! Finally !! How crazy !! For real though, Deejay needed an update badly. He has been that same design that was once just my online sona for years and while I can't remove what makes him Deejay, I can differentiate him in some ways - especially since Joyscape has claimed the top hat for good !

So, here's a current look at the design that's upcoming ! The one above is more final, but below you can see the initial coloured concept when I was finally getting to closer to it.

He's not insanely different obviously. His hair is more messy with some spikyness to it. His clothes are overall a tad baggier. Pants are now a light brown instead of grey. Blue shirt. Etc etc. Y'all can see it.

The other 3 may get slight changes - but I don't see anyone else needing a major change anytime soon. Ave you can see some slight changes - his skin colour I wanted to lean towards being more red due to his form coming from a red liquid rather than being human. Minister is well... Minister. A tad chunkier maybe, but besides that haha. And a reminder that nothing is final ever lol

WRITING 📗

Oh my goodness !! JustDaniel !! Actually making something that feels final !! Preposterious.

No but for real, I've got some AnoVerse book writing being done. 3 chapters into it and feeling good. Progress has been steady and I'm mostly writing for myself... but. A recent university assignment helped me see more potential in my writing, so I'm curious as to what to do.

This current AnoVerse story I'll release for free when it's done I know that for sure - however I'm curious.

Would anyone be interested in physical JustDaniel OC books?

Yes

No

Voting ended onFeb 16, 2025

Frankly right now I don't know what I expect doing this poll. My reach here is minimal, 24 people actually following the blog and it's my besties mostly to my knowledge hi besties by the way lmao. But I'd be highly interested in knowing the answers anyway because I'd probably only need about 10 pre-orders to justify it if I did physical books. I've done the research, I know what my pricing would be, etc etc. So y'know yeah. Might be fun to do.

Anyway... that's all from me thanks guys. Been nice to post here again. Will hopefully see you soon lol

Submit to the spin

I was gonna wait to actually ride Toxicator but @justdaniel-eh 's theme struck me so hard I had to give the design a spin.

Behold sentient goop! No one expected Toxicator to get a ride spirit this quick, least of all Toxicator. It's not adjusting to sentience well.

⛓THE COMPOUND - BREAKOUT⛓

An arrangement done for a concept game for Alton Towers' new scare maze - COMPOUND. The gameplay had you navigate a maze, avoid the guards a

New song chat hiiii

[justdaniel-eh]

COMPOUND Game

Did you guys try the Amigos in the Afterlife game. Yes?

Well cool so did I and at first I fucking HATED it because it felt so poorly made. Upon second playing it was just my blind judgement and half asleep ADHD brain trying to read a lot of instructions - though it is still VERY flawed. But what else did I expect, we're never getting the same quality as The Smiler game again.

SO I took it upon myself. I decided I could make a game.

This screenshot is of my VERY early and work-in-progress build of it - but it fully works. And is playable and you can beat the current test room. I'm currently just trying to get some nicer assets in before getting to work on stuff like cameras, shaders, menus, etc.

I would get a video but I can't really be too bothered right now honestly. So here's a rundown of what the game plays like

Player moves around maze to get to the key and then get to the goal.

Avoid guards who will force you to restart if they touch you.

Once near guards, they will slow to show you're within their range.

If you are close enough and in their line of sight they will chase you down.

If you get far enough away they will leave you alone.

Anyway, I'll hopefully have some more done before Friday - I'd really like to try get this game out about half-way through Scarefest, because it's not too big of a project. Just a bit of time needs to be put into it haha.

I also have plans to take it further than a COMPOUND game. The general premise could be applied to many of the scare mazes, just means I'd have to make skins for it all... maybe give them some unique mechanics and more.

Anywho. That's all. Bye bye :D

[justdaniel-eh]

✨AnoVerse Gameplay (Scoring) Stuff✨

I'm gonna be so real I'm mainly doing this cos I wanted to share new prototype footage but OBS was kicking my butt so instead. Screenshot and ramble about how the games score system will work :D

As you might be able to see above, the prototype is. Coming along. Compared to the last bit of footage I put on my tumblr. I've still PLENTY to do, such as level assets, backgrounds, proper UI, etc. But functionality is kinda my core focus besides from the odd now and then switch to the graphics (i.e. when I got sick of the static player and red walls).

The first thing I really want to talk about is what platforming features I want to just have in this game. You can see in the screenshot above a point system, "sparks", a timer, and down in the bottom left a combo system. These are the most fundemental gameply features for seeing how well you do in a level.

Completing a level will give you a rank from "Eh" to "Incredible" which is based off of your score and time. To get the highest rank, the required targets must be met. Hopefully, I can make the ranks balance out, so say if your score was bad your time might make up for it, but for a true perfect rank you must meet the max requirements for both.

Ways you can up your score is by collecting sparks and attacking enemies - fights being the more impactful way to earn points. Sparks are more so a currency, being useful in various shop points. Collecting one will net you a small point score of 10 - and will charge up your combo meter. While they may not be worth many points, they can work well for quick resets to your meter if you need a little extra time before reaching your next enemy.

I can't lie I took a break from writing uuhhh here's some older concept art trying to figure out the direction I wanted to go for level UI.

Alright that's all goodnighttt
