Splatoon Neo - Hero Mode: Cross Contamination (Concept)

As the hero is starting to get used to their surroundings, their journey leads them into a wasteland. This abandoned area used to be called home by many. Now the location is off limits to the average person as it has become where all the waste, trash, and toxic materials of the surface world ends up.

You must be saturated in ink to even withstand the harsh conditions down there. Without your ink mucus protecting you, you’d undoubtedly breathe in lethal materials. And even after all of that, you’re not the only thing “alive” down there… Unwelcoming, glowing red eyes stare back at you from the shadows. Unveiled to be infected octopus creatures that can barely hold themselves up- like zombies. Being an outiser, you activate their fight or flight response and in an instant they’re attacking you as an army. No longer slow and sluggish, but equal in athleticism to the hero.

Your Captain assures you there’s no brain activity detected in these creatures. Their theory is that these Octolings have been contaminated by standing water. They look familiar to ones he’s faced before but not quite. Collect “think pieces” and the Biologist will explain what’s happening.

Author’s Notes:

Here’s our first look at world 2 of story mode. After you win the treasure map from the carnival of world 1 you’d end up here. The general order of story mode is finished so I’ll be sharing sketches as I confirm plot points. This area has no name yet but it is the Neoverse (Splatoon Neo universe) equivalent of a Octoling colony such as Octo Valley. With each world the story gets more convoluted. This section will show the failures of genetic modification experiments and the failure of a world that portays itself as green and clean. The vibe is very different from world 1 but they connect on the theme of environmental hazards. Will share the designs of the Octolings found in this area once I decide on a name for their “species”

The agent has their “agent number” as well, can’t wait to share it once their full design is complete. I go a different way about naming the agents, it’ll make sense later

Spawn Wars Ranked mode concept

A ranked mode where the final goal is to eliminate all enemy players by splatling them when they can’t respawn. Inspired by players that only go or kills in ranked. This is basically a “bed wars” game mode for Splatoon, where each teams spawn pad is powered by a total of 3 stuffed zapfish across the map. Breaking one free and taking it will allow the next one to spawn. Take all three to fully power off a spawn pad. Enemies can splat you to take a zapfish back, or even intercept a pass. Throwing the stuffed zapfish off the map will just spawn a new one in the center of the stage. So it’s best to carry it with you in zapfish safe areas. (Similar to having no-rainmaker zones)

This mode will definitely see changes by its release. I’m thinking of having a system where you have to stay at the center of the stage for a while to properly dispose of the zapfish to unlock the next one to break to add more competitive encounters to it. Wanted to share this mode in its simplest form.

With E3 coming up and as we learn more about Splatoon 3 I’ve decided to share what’s left of Splatoon Neo in its current form. I’m expecting there to be many similar things overlapping with things I’ve thought of creating and what will be cannon in Splatoon. So I’m sharing this now so it makes sense if I release something that is similar to something that’s new already.

Spoilers ahead if you want to wait for the official release of Splatoon Neo things. (By name and minimal description)

Leftover Weapon Designs & New Stages:

*A few of these are just brainstormed ideas. Some may only show up when I share cancelled designs and ideas.

Abilities:

Stackable: Porosity Up, Conecntration, Ink Pressure Up, Air Resistance

Exclusive: Pseudomorph, Bounty, Endangered, Adrenaline, Electroreception, Slip Stream, Good vibes, Stippler, Sea’s Curse, Reception switch, Scouter

Story:

“An interdimensional adventure in the Inkopolis Boulevard. Invasive artificial Octolings will try to make your visit to the Boulevard a living nightmare to scare you from staying. Free the city and play as “Agent ♾“ along side a retired hero and go on missions beyond your wildest dreams. The Inkopolis Boulevard is safe in your hands.”

- Discover the origin of the Inkopolis Boulevard

- Encounter the villain “Mariana”

- Make friends over a common goal

( The story may be impacted by the story of Splatoon 3 depending on what we learn in that game. Despite being in a different dimension there’s still cannon things that I’d like to coinside with)

World building:

- Meet Neon Lotus, the twin sister idol group of Inkopolis Boulevard.

- Stream music from the various Boulevard Bands. Neon Louts, Ultramarine, and more !

- Walk through Inkopolis Boulevard and visit each shop

- Learn about the popular clothing brands

I have plans to 3D model each stage and maybe even have a trailer movie for them in the future. Most of them will be released as drawings to share with everyone before they get a 3D version. I also have plans to make episodic animations for the Story in forms of a “gameplay” on my YouTube channel. This will probably happen after Splatoon 3 finishes getting updates. This gives me time to learn Unity more, but things may change with the release of the new Game builder garage. I doubt I’ll be able to replicate Splatoon mechanics in it but it’ll be cool to make low poly stages in for ppl to try out, then later share the better stuff in the future. I’ve managed to replicate Splatoon mechanics in a software called Dreams on Play Station which I might share soon since it’s a software I’m already skilled in using. Only downside is that it has limits that I want to go past but time will tell.

I’m very excited to continue to share my Splatoon ideas with you all and Splatoon Neo will be around for a while longer. Not included in the above weapon lists, but I have plans to make different skins for a lot of weapons including my own and cannon Splatoon ones. The first collection is planned to be the “Diet” collection where a few drink / food based weapons will come with a diet kit variant. Look forward to that after all current Splatoon Neo weapons release !

Stay tuned for the Markatana release coming very soon !

Splatoon NEO: Correction Dualies!

Introducing the Correction Dualies, which let you roll continuously!

Correction Dualies (Sea-4) (Copy Clone)

- Push B while shooting to roll for as long as you can

- Roll too long and your character will begin to get dizzy, forcing a longer cool down and lowered accuracy

- Rolling builds up momentum quickly, if your character slams into a wall, they’ll get dizzy from it.

- Rolling takes twice as much ink as an Octobrush takes to run, and you’ll roll at 1.5 times the speed of an inkbrush run.

The idols of Splatoon Neo are almost ready to debut.

I’m really hoping to see the idols of Splatoon 3 tomorrow, they’re my most anticipated thing for the game so far. But on the chance we don’t get idols I think I will share NeonLotus anyway sometime soon after. The characters’s designs have been finished for months now but I’ve been waiting for my new computer build so I could release them alongside one of their original songs, but it seems that wait might be longer than expected.

Right now my plan is to release the artwork for the first Splatoon Neo Special weapon next then start to work on NeonLotus right after. They have about 2 songs waiting for their vocals already but I’m held back on creating something great for them because of slow and old computer issues. So because of the circumstances they’ll just have to get their first song later down the line.
