in case you're not following horizon-armor, here's your notice that all the HZD outfits are up now :D I'm not sure about the color on the menus, but I feel like it makes a clear visual distinction between them? so it's there for now at least.
let me know if something's not working or you find anything incorrect! (as always pls view in desktop browser or you'll probably have a bad time)
As a disclaimer I have absolutely no mod-making experience/motivation so this'll stay as just a concept.
Summary: C!Thomas has lost touch with his singing passion, and it's up to BF to help him regain that confidence. But to do so, he must journey into the Mindscape and confront each aspect of his personality one by one.
This would be a total revamp of all the weeks, with new songs, characters, secrets, and animated cutscenes. Each Core Side will have their own week.
..........
Week T (Thomas)
Song: Personality
Location: Apartment Living Room (real world).
Synopsis: Thomas introduces himself and explains his Sides to BF, deciding to do a warm-up rap battle.
If Personality is finished on Hard, additional dialogue alludes to the Dark Sides and a hint on how to unlock their weeks (but he discourages BF from doing so).
"I wouldn't be too harsh on Patton or Roman. Unless you're prepared for..things you might not wanna see, hear, or experience."
The rest of the weeks and how they'd play out are under cut.
Beware of spoilers for Working Through Intrusive Thoughts and other recent TSides episodes
Synopsis: After introducing himself, Logan attempts to add BF's lingo to a flashcard, but discards it upon being questioned. He warns that he's not the most musical Side but tries his best as this serves to help Thomas.
Secret: Typing 01134 during Clairvoyance for the first time interrupts it as Logan becomes confused and annoyed that they're going off-schedule. Asking BF if he's trying to "cheat" and choosing "Yes" (or typing the same code in subsequent playthroughs) in a dialogue prompt angers him and makes the "Orange Side" take over, turning his eyes orange and the screen an orange hue.
Gameplay Mechanics (Orange Notes): During Ignorance, hitting orange arrows shakes the screen and angers BF, making him unable to focus, taking away 10% of his health.
Ignorance is similar to Clairvoyance but set to Very Hard. After beating it, it's permanently available in Freeplay.
Synopsis: Patton greets BF as "kiddo" and gleefully accepts the singing challenge, making a few cheesy puns before they start.
Secret: When Week P is selected after beating it on any difficulty, there's a small chance a frog will be on his shoulder. Clicking on it (a cursor appears when hovering over the sprite) unlocks the song in Freeplay.
Amphibbing Synopsis: In an alternative timeline, this replaces Selflessness. BF apparently caught Patton on a bad day, as he feels distressed over losing. But when he's goaded into a final match, he turns into his giant frog form. He feels guilty but BF apologizes first. The two decide to sing to help him get back to normal.
Week R (Roman)
Songs: Creativity, Passion, Royalty
Location: Mindpalace Theatre (similar to normal Week 1's stage but fancier).
Synopsis: Roman boasts about his own singing abilities and decides to accept BF's challenge, transforming the Commons Room into an extravagant theatre to "set the stage" for this glorious battle. BF also gains a gold microphone like his.
Unique Animations: His expressions get more annoyed as he keeps losing, eventually drawing out his sword as Passion ends and swings it around throughout Royalty.
Post-Royalty Cutscene: In the end he lets his pride go and allows BF to win. Thanks to him he feels confident that Thomas can sing again. And he warns him of "one last hurdle" to jump over.
Week V (Virgil)
Songs: Anxious, Aversion, Acceptance
Location: Virgil's room
Synopsis: Being the natural source of Thomas' low confidence. BF vows to help him regain this, not just to help Thomas but also the anxious Side personally.
Unique Animations: During Anxious and Aversion, Virgil is sitting on the stairs with the whole background being nearly dark, but it becomes progressively brighter. During Acceptance, he is more confident and smiles, standing up. His eyeshadow also becomes a shimmering lavender color.
Secret Week/Week R̶̤͎̾̎ͅ (Remus)
Songs: Intrusive, Repent, Nightmare
Criteria: Beating Royalty on Hard.
Location: Mindpalace Theatre (destroyed)
Synopsis: Remus knocks out Roman and turns the stage into a nightmarish version. He claims it's his turn to "have some fun" and makes an obligatory "blue balls" joke before beginning.
Gameplay Mechanics (Unpredictability): Due to Remus' world-manipulating nature, he can hinder BF's progress in several ways:
Intrusive (Tentacle): An octopus tentacle randomly throws trash across the screen as a distraction. Items can hit BF's icon and lower his health by a small amount.
Repent (Vine Notes): Notes wrapped in bloody vines take away 20% of BF's health if hit.
Nightmare (Intrusive!GF): In addition to the above, an illusion of GF is made (similar to Nico from WTIT) as a last-ditch effort, draining BF's health by 0.5% when it's Remus' turn. Both him and the GF share the same vocals and poses. The illusion gradually fades near the song's end.
All (Creepy Atmosphere): The lower BF's health is, the darker/greener the screen overlay becomes.
Secret Week/Week J (Janus)
Songs: Deception, Lies Lies Lies, Selfishness
Criteria: Beating Selflessness on Hard
Location: Garden of Eden (imaginary)
Synopsis: Janus tries misleading BF into thinking Thomas is using his singing talent for his own personal gain. But when BF isn't persuaded Janus decides to test him and see how well he's done.
Gameplay Mechanic (Hungry Snake): Occasionally, a gold snake will "eat" a portion of BF's side of the health bar, slowly stretching towards him. The player would have to keep the icon away from the serpent's mouth or else it's an instant game over. During Selfishness the snake may stretch to consume 90% of the health bar
