Let's kick off the zora loreposting with something easy. Food! Great excuse to draw my guys having a nice meal. Read more for my thoughts on Zora cooking~~

Dinner parties are usually held at Rivan's, since he's the only one with any cooking skills and his house is the most convenient. Bazz's place would be much more comfortable for hosting this many people, but then they'd have to include Seggin and no one wants that (Trello is cranky but much less intentionally hostile, so Rivan usually ends up extending the invite to him as well, this is his dad after all). Zora diet is much less varied than a Hylian's as it is ultimately majorly raw fish/meat based. Most Zora don't even really bother with cooking or seasoning their food - they enjoy the raw taste and texture and don't get sick from parasites and such anyway. A healthy diet should include some amount of greens, usually kelp and algae but leafy vegetables and herbs also work. Zora can eat small amounts of roots, mushrooms, some grains and some fruit, but they tend to process them via pickling or brining for easier digestion. Rice is a common side/base, even though it doesn't provide much actual nutrition (good for filling up when there's not enough protein though!). Legumes, wheat, milk and stuff heavy in sugar are a hard no for a Zora stomach. Hot spice doesn't cause any serious digestive problems, but consuming it tends to make one -really- snotty which is kinda bad table manners, so it's an acquired taste.

The dish spread I drew is a bit chaotic (flavors don't pair super well and there is way too much variety for a casual meal) but it showcases the main logic of Zora cooking I think. A proper meal will have a bunch of small dishes, most of them (if not all) cold, and they're meant to be picked at and shared by everyone. The main course is almost always some kind of raw fish dish (or smoked, if there's no fresh catch available). Rice and seaweed/pickles are offered as sides. Everything is served plain, and vinegar, salt or fish sauce are used to season the meals to one's taste. For hot dishes, there's various soups, Rice Fried With Things and then fancier stuff like meat steamed in leaves/kelp or herb grilled fish. No fruit, sugar or wheat means Zora have very limited dessert choices. Most popular are rice cakes (can be sweet or savory) or egg-based puddings of sort. Zora don't really drink for hydration (they'll get that water in them anyway throughout the day) so beverages are usually just there to compliment the food. A common choice for a casual gathering like this is cold herbal infusion or mild rice wine (Bazz has been explicitly banned from bringing anything stronger than that to Rivan's house).

The spread in the illustration has been mostly prepared by Rivan and Link (the only two people here with actual cooking skills) with minor prep help from Dunma. Trello contributed a jar of pickles, Bazz brought drinks and Gaddison showed up.

Oi, just a heads up I've been using a Trello board for a little bit now! It's been a nice way to keep my projects organized. It's publicly visible as well, so if you wanna check out what I'm actively working on, you can find it here :>

So I made a Trello board for commissions. But also, if you sort of wanna look at the unhinged mess of my backlog fanart to-do list that I will finish at some point or the other...

Its here.

I am being forced to invent ladders

this is how ladders work, right?

So the ProtoDungeon: Episode I update is proceeding nicely. There is more to fix than I expected (yes I know the HUD still looks goofy), but also I'm fixing things very quickly, so it sort of balances out?

As the title states, I'm having to make some changes that you might not expect. Since PD1 now uses the depth/height system on PD3's "engine", that means that stairs don't work like they did before. The explanation is sort of complicated, but if you think of us now working in 3D space, just "flattened" to an orthographic 2D space, the stairs throughout PD1 are just climbing straight up walls.

(can't unsee that, can you??)

In other words, they are ladders. Even if they kind of look like stairs.

Anyway, I already needed to create ladders for PD3, so this works out.
