Just a lil' blog for my few lil' shenanigans with the game Worldless. Main: @SpectralGecko
Like what I do? I have a ko-fi! -> https://ko-fi.com/spectralgecko
This here is a side-blog for my various Worldless creativity. I noticed there was a small Worldless fandom here when I first played the game, so here I have deposited myself.
To any and all new Protostars, hello and welcome to the shenanigans! Please note that there are Worldless spoilers here! I'd recommend finishing the game before poking through the blog too much.
I mostly do art and ramble, you might get some writing out of me every now and again. Ask box is open, feel free to chatter! Most ask content over here is kept to Worldless stuff, whether that be headcanons, AUs, silly concepts or other such stuff. If you've got something unrelated to Worldless, feel free to hop over to my main, @spectralgecko!
Tags: I won't usually tag Worldless for asks unless it relates directly to the canon game. I also won't tag it for headcanon rambles. I will tag characters though. For all art, canonically related ramblings, and stuff directly pertinent to canon, I'll tag the game. I just don't want to clog the main tag too badly.
Status: College is fun. I'm buried in books. Expect some delays in activity.
Info and Navigation:
Questions:
Can I use your concepts? - For any questions you have about using my original work.
AU Taglist:
Eden Eclipsed - My main retelling AU, with a whole bunch of speculative worldbuilding involved. Has lore dumps and art. Fic is in progress, will not be posted until I have it all drafted at least.
Transposed - The magic swap AU. Only has an art and an ask or two.
Complementary Conundrum - A what-if concerning additional Starfolk colors. Also only art and maybe an ask.
New Management - The Ones from Above get booted by another of their kind, and things proceed from there. Currently has 7 chapters, with more in the works. Can be found on Ao3.
Worldless Cat Duo AU - The duo are cats. It has a set of more or less standalone chapters, and one piece of art. Can be found both here and on Ao3.
Worldless Coffee Shop AU - Mostly a silly idea. Has some very minimal building and operates on Eclipsed logic.
Worldless AU: Rosemouth College - obligatory College AU. It's not very fleshed out though. Mostly a silly idea.
Fics:
GloomGlow - An Eden Eclipsed ficlet set of seven <400 word drabbles using the five stages of grief to explore Duality as a character.
New Management - The actual fic for New Management. I need to go back and tag the fic itself properly.
Navigation:
Sqarlet'sArt - my art tag!
SqarletTalks - anything that's a text post from me. Sometimes also attached to stuff with pictures, if there's a long text with it. Includes most things where I'm talkin'. Often includes asks and rambles.
SqarletWrites - actual drabbles and stuff.
ask box shenanigans - anything from the ask box.
Worldless OC: ___ - the default format for any of my OC's and such, with their name in the blank. If there's ever an OC for a different fandom, that'll go in place of Worldless. Currently includes characters such as Aziel/The Hunter, the General, Eden, Nereo, Gabriel, and Dareia.
not worldless - self explanatory but relatively rare. Most of my non-worldless stuff will be over on @spectralgecko
I’m honestly blown away by the response to my previous post. Thank you all so much for every reblog! I’m so happy you liked it.
I drew this purely on raw emotions right after 100% completing the game (yes, I got all the achievements! ;-;). Actually, I already knew halfway through the game that I just had to draw this piece.
Thank you again for noticing my art, it means the world to me!
P.S. If you haven't played Worldless yet, please do it! It’s an absolute gem.
A story of polarities and transcendence that became my sanctuary. Its minimalist world and soul-soothing music had a truly therapeutic effect when I needed it most...
Trying to absorb Demon because that's bastard either died or killed me before i could do so (mostly due to my own incompetence to do this fight), i finally got the mf.
But all that bent up rage which came from that pushed me to torture the thing back with the trial and eventually make this fuck ass meme that i will now also share with this community because i don't want it to just gather dust in my files.
Worldless is an indie game about two entities discovering their new place in a world of endless conflict.
Navigation is accomplished with 2D platforming where you can do some sick parkour. It's not quite a metroidvania, but it's got a lot of metroidvania DNA in that more areas are naturally opened up as you earn more platforming capabilities, and rewards curious players who travel off the beaten path with upgrades to make battling easier. If you're sufficiently inquisitive, you can easily 100% the game without needing to pull up a guide.
Combat is turn-based, but still active in that you have to accomplish easy-to-learn hard-to-master combos, and defending is a bit like a rhythm game. There's some light elemental strategies too.
Above all, Worldless is a beautiful, beautiful game with stunning art direction and a haunting soundtrack composed by the same guy behind Gris. There aren't many characters and not a lot of dialog, but the shapes can emote enough to get their thoughts across.
Give it a try! It's available on all major consoles and on PC via Steam. In my first playthrough where I did everything it had to offer took 36 hours, 10 of those hours dedicated to the platforming gauntlet and the hardest boss battle.
