OKAY I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR AHUW IN A WHILE BUT what would sand n sails be like? i know it's cut content, but it's real in my heart lol i imagine just a sandy part of the ocean, but i love this au and i'm curious lmao

Oooh good question!! (And EE thank you very much for enjoying ahuw :D) I think if Sand n' sails were to exist, it'd be a salt marsh :]

Taking the info from the ahit wiki; the villages would be 'safe spots' marked by a border of grassy patches, and the large stretches of sand you have to travel across would have tide-related gameplay mechanics, so you'd have to time your movement right in order to not be swept out.

The water flask mechanic could be replaced by a disguise over your vehicle! Perhaps there's a giant bird that's a looming threat- I'd imagine being a fish out in the open wouldn't be ideal if that were the case...

The disguise would be a source of protection, but the saltwater damages it over time, so you'd need to collect leaves to repair it.

And of course, there's the NPCs :]

AH AND I AM AWARE I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING MUCH AT ALL- BUT I'M STILL HERE I PROMISE!!! It's just that my classes have really. not been kind to me as of late <:)

If I could, I'd happily work on both ahit and OC projects; but unfortunately I find myself with barely any breaks nowadays. Any time I use to draw, it's usually either taken from my 10min stops inbetween classes, or taken away from my sleep.

I'm choosing to focus that limited time on what gives me more self fulfillment/makes me happier, which is working on my original projects like Lighthouse bloom :D I hope that's understandable!

I still absolutely enjoy drawing for a hat in time though, so thank you for the ask! I missed drawing 'em!!! (And apologies for such a late response, finals season 🥲)

desperately running after the bandwagon here uh hi

sometimes i go and look at your posts and i want to CELEBRATE!!! I want to PARTY!! your AHiT posts are so cool it makes me wish i were there because DDDUUUUDEEE i want to swim around in there with everybody (with a diving suit because uh yknow)…. i eat up your stuff for chapter two every day and then i daintily pat my mouth with a napkin. ITS SO COOOOOLLLL!!!! YOU’RE SO COOOOOLLLL!! THANK YOU FOR FEEDING THE PUBLIC

WAUGH FOUR SWEET ASKS IN A ROW I'M GONNA EXPLODE(very much /pos!! :DD)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! YOU'RE ALSO VERY COOL YOURSELF!! I still can't believe how many people love what I've done with ahuw- I'm very honored I got to make something a lot of people ended up enjoying as well as I!!! I've learned a lot with all sorts of different things and enjoyed making it lots :]

Thank you for again eating and partying on my art!! Augh you people are so nice fr 🥺

I'm pretty sure I've doodled at least three separate images of my sona crying hearts pathetic style at this point so I realize that might be getting a bit old, (though that is indeed how I feel every time) so here's a little ahuw doodle instead :D

[mothhue]

is the AHUW au complete now?

are you going to make any more posts about it?

Technically, yes! All the main showcases of chapters and major characters are complete. As for being 100% done with it... nope :]

I have a whole bunch of comics and doodle ideas that I still have written down, and I want to draw how some of the boss fights would play out someday! I also finished thinking up what the time rifts could look like & should sketch that out when I get the chance.

A hat under waters will indeed be less of a priority for me now, though <:) (School has started for me, and I have very little time to draw for myself, other than for assignments 😔)

I don't think I'll ever stop AHUWposting "for good." Even when I'm far past it, I'll probably still doodle a thing or two when I get a new idea, or when the anniversary comes up! I also have timelapses of all the illustrations I've done for it, so I might post those someday, too! Thank you for asking :D

I imagine Moonjumper in the under waters au to hang onto kelp via the strings he has.

the silliest of fellows...

A hat under waters: The finale, time's end.

Last year in febuary, I drew and posted my first concept of this AU, and exactly one year later; here we are!

Thank you so much to everyone who supported this AU, and to everyone who left kind words in the notes. It's been a delight reading through them, and I'm very happy to see that people enjoy seeing the silly things I do! :D

I hope you had fun watching through this little AU of mine, I sure had a blast making it.

Happy birthday a hat under waters, and thank you for watching.

so you know about thermal vents and underwater volcanoes? I feel like time’s end (ocean’s end???) could have those come into play

Oh absolutely, you hit the nail on the head! Time's end would be a level littered with all sorts of volcanic activity. I imagine the long linear level to be across a mid-ocean ridge (which is basically a looong line of mountains underwater formed by plate tectonics. It's constantly exploding due to the plates drifting further apart and the magma beneath it rising through the cracks, and almost immediately cooling down!! look at this video isn't that awesome!!!)

It'll obviously be a lot less intense/realistic in level design, but going back to the question, yes indeed! Submarine volcanoes, thermal vents, lava galore.

And speaking of underwater biomes: I haven't seen anyone point it out yet, but every chapter in AHUW has a different one! The mafia are in lush coral reefs, the dead bird studio is on shores/in the Neritic zone Subcon is a kelp forest down in the Aphotic zone Alpine is a village on a group of sea stacks Arctic tour takes place in... You guessed it, arctic waters! Nyakuza is in-rock areas and of course for the finale we have the ow ow owie hot zone :]

(And thank you for asking! :D )

A hat under waters- Some cut characters!

Them not having any canon content means I can imagine whatever silly things I want about them >:D heheh Tim is 100% the type of guy that goes ohohoho. to me.

(Oh and also! Since these are all cut characters, these are also not 100% "canon", per se; It's just what I personally decided to assign them. So if anyone wants to have a different fish assignment for any of these guys, feel free to imagine your own version of them!)

@mothhue the slugs are so cute I love them I would play the entire game like this if I could, a slug in time if you will

I also have small not slug stuff cause. Well I’m bored easily and it’s fun to draw HSSSHSHHSHS
