hhhhh i knoa i said i would sstep far away from forsaken as i possibly can but the redesign for jason, or rather oc-ified jason, the slasher thing is actually kinda cute and really cool, and yknow in gonna say it
forsaken would be better if it was all ocs, or at the least heavily redesigned/oc-ified versions of character, rather than just plain pre-existing charavters
like guest666s design bangs in the animalistic and demonic apartment which, personally, makes me grieve and wonder for pre-forsaken guest666. two time, albeit looks more like a parkour kind of person or some kind of deadfaced random teen with some kind of killer twist, leads to very cool interpretations of their design with their simple yet effective backstory (i was gonna say they should make it more uhh intense? or like more punchier or harsher with the cult and their relantionship with azure as well as explore how the cults relationship with azure as a botanist and a follower (or maybe azure was losing faith of smthin) in comparison to two times relationship with it, idk maybe im missing azures character and his lore somewhere and maybe im using the wrong term, flesh it out is probs the right term).
chance is funny as a whole game mechanic and backstory (i really didnt like the itrapped inclusion, i feel like it wouldve more interesting if chance brought their own downfall with all of the gambling and other borderline illegal activities) and has a good personality that is spoken through his design (though i believe they can complicate their design more). wanwood also just looks awesome with all of the leaves and her horns design, and im surprised she wasnt in the game from the start i feel like she wouldve been a really good facefrontier for the game as a whole personally, like i can literally the word forsaken from her, alongside slasher and the othefs mentioned (g666 less so cuz i still think back to the oblivioushds story but thats just me)
honestly, ive always found forsaken to have a very inconsidtent aesthetic or image in terms of visuals/designs cuz its modern with black and white scratchy ui and fancy ywt strict font but also retro and arg based with the map designs but also new with two time ans chance and spectre but also old with the myths ans hackers and admins, like sure it can be a mix of both but the characters like shedletsky and elliot and brandon with maps such as brandons and the one wirh 700 walls and feels like it stretches on forever before the noli update sticks out like an open wound to me with zero medical equipment and basic first aid knowledge personally. idk how to describe it without soundinflike oh tehy should be retro/modern and onlt be that its just they havent found a good middle point or a good and consistent niche between the two and the only reason why it sticks is because the game is popular (willingly or not,yoh see it hundreds of times), maybe its just me ans im being too harsh on a game whos still testinf out stuff idk theyll figure ir out soonee ornlater i have hope
honestly, they have a good set of designers and ideas and i would not be upset, infact id be overjoyed, if they completely redo the cast later down the line, sure most of the jokes and fame would be obsolete but i think it would genuinely remove 90% (or somekind or high percentage) of the pressure and the most annoying people ever in the community cuz the characters theyre here for are either redesigned or gone lol, plus the playerbase shouldnt go down unless they rework the entire mechanics of the majority of the cast (which i heavily doubt and do not push for) and if it does well theyre stupid cuz its almost the same game just with cooler characters rhat actually fits the aesthetic
how do i always find myself talking about forsaken, a game im strictly neutral about, more than the games i actually enjoy like pressure (still mad i forfot to say happy birthday kms), die of death, frozen soul, blocktales, regretevator and such god, maybe cuz im trying to be more analytical rather than consume everything as slop or contenr and also why im attracted to this game cuz this game is quite literally everything that stands for what i shouldnt care for but i still do in a way (is it the characters that reminds me of when i was younger and scared of john doe, 1x, guesst666 ans coolkid? is ir cuz im mad i missed out on or forgot so much cool characters and roblox lore pre forsaken cuz i was too busy on adopt and raise a cute baby, meepcity, the plaza and speedrun4? is it cuz im scared people will think i only like these characters cuz of forsaken and not because i got reintroduced to the characters ans start liking them again outside of forsakens lore, so might as well own it or give them whag they want/expect? is ir cause forsaken grapples on some of the easiest interpretations of the characters and make them trauma aura magnets which i am weak for? is ir cause the community is rhe only onws that actually gives me what i want but i have ro accepr irs from a game i dont like or dislike but would like ro be dissociated from??? is it to distract from the horrific fanfic i made of a ship ghat i only liked in one context for 3 seconds??????? am i stupid?????????)
anyways another nothing burger out of the way, i feel like i should tag these forsaken so that people can like, not suffer through this or get an allergic reaction to those who wants to burn any mention of it alive or jusg doesnt care and is a kittle annoyed idk i really am scared but ill tag my forsaken discussions accordinglyokay thats actually all byeee
ps here are the tweets to the designs of slasher and wanwood theyre awesome:
