INSANELY IMPORTANT SWEETBEAST INFO
hey everyone! i know i haven’t posted or talked at all here in forever. i’m fine and well, just focusing on school and irl stuff. anyways, there’s some huge exciting sweetbeast news that i’ve been waiting to tell you all.
project sweetbeast has been canceled.
…to make way for a TOTAL REBOOT!
Project Sweetbeast will have a COMPLETE overhaul in terms of lore, design, format, and just generally everything, and it will be MUCH better. It will be strictly a COMIC with drawn images for every update. i’ve been working hard to refine it to tell it as the story it was meant to be. The reboot will be called just SWEETBEAST as opposed to Project Sweetbeast to differentiate it from the precursor.
I’m hoping to have biweekly uploads of it on webtoon, twitter, here on a separate account, and tiktok. it will also have a completely original SOUNDTRACK, which my irl friend made!
here’s the summary of the reboot plot:
One normal summer day in the 80s, a portal opened up in midwest America that lead to an alternate version of Earth, a “flip side” where the laws of physics didn’t apply, with a red sky, filled with strange creatures, powered by a supernatural energy that could power an entire civilization.
Of course, humans saw this as a business opportunity instead of something to be studied, and head honchos of corporations and entrepreneurs set out to turn this mysterious place into the tourist destination of a lifetime full of hotels, casinos, and enough entertainment to be a consumer’s paradise, where anyone could escape to find a new life and manifest destiny while the party never stopped- Flipside City. Even if you weren’t in for the fun stuff and were just looking to find a new life, with free housing, food, healthcare, public transportation, and more entertainment than you could ever think of, who wouldn’t want to live there?
There was just one tiny footnote in the dream city’s terms of living- once you moved there, you transformed into a otherworldly beast. Going through the portals corrupted and changed a human’s body to become suited to live in this strange place, and any human that went would have the body of a monster. But who cares if you become a beast when living here is so much fun?
As it turns out, there is a problem with that. A terrible accident happened, A beast came from Flipside City back to the normal world with peaceful intent- but destructive consequences.
World leaders voted and decided- the former people, now beasts, who inhabited this new experimental utopia were dubbed too dangerous, and to prevent something like it from happening again, it was shut down for good. All the portals were closed. Travel in and out of Flipside City was banned, and anyone stuck there was stranded.
Ever since their city was cut off from the rest of the world, beast society has stubbornly struggled on, and the tourists and entertainers banded together to make this paradise turned nightmare into their new home. No one has dared speak about Flipside City in 30 years, let alone traveled here, and no one knows what the city looks like now, or even if the beasts still inhabit it.
But this would all change when a slacker frat bro college kid messed around in a condemned science lab, accidentally opened up a portal, and became the first newcomer to Flipside City ever since it was put in quarantine from the outside world. The story follows his journey to find both a way to free the city and right the wrongs that happened 30 years ago along with finding himself along the way and navigating his new monster body, as he and his friends struggle to explore what it means to be human when no one in society is human anymore.
