Who's that Monster? Ruins Edition! (Promise in Patience)

*Villovispy–AT 4, DF 5. This willful tree is pretty insistent on getting you to follow it.

[*Villovispy is prancing and shaking its head teasingly.]

Meet the villovispy! The monsters throughout the underground are themed after various things, and the Ruins (nicknamed "Lower Ruins" due to its position but still technically Ruins) drew a lot of inspiration from different medieval European mythologies. The villovispy was originally inspired by the will o' the wisp and the kelpie, and then its name sort of sounded like "Weeping Willow", so that's where the design originated. There are 4 non-unique monsters (6 total, including the end encounter "TomTom" and the mini-boss "Doghest"). The villovispy also appears as an interactable NPC if it is not slain.

This took a g e s. Haha I am not a visual artist. Also, I don't have an animation program, so I animated the battle using Adobe Premiere Pro. However, the pixel art and idle animation were made through Pixel Studio. Yeah... I'm not doing this for ALL of them. Villovispy was the first non-unique monster I created, so I thought I may as well. Technically, I designed the tright first, conceptually, but I completed the villovispy first. Semantics.

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

Promise in Patience--Undertale Choose Your Own Adventure!

Coming eventually, from the creator of Undertale's own "An Unloved Bird Can No Longer Sing", the Five Nights at Freddy's "Help" series and "Misplaced Trust", and Henry Stickmin's "Off the Beaten Path" and "Different Path, Different Story", is a Choose Your Own Adventure starring the first human: Patience.

Would you like to befriend monsterkind? Go ahead! Do you think they should all be turned to dust? It's your choice! Were the neutral routes more your jam? They were mine, too!

With a cast of unique monsters, items, encounters, a new spin on old places, and justifications for your actions, follow Chica: a young girl who, after hearing about a child who was recently killed by a real-life monster, goes to the mountain to seek answers when the adults around her refuse to give them.

Are you great with designing maps, puzzles, or monsters? Beta reading or critiquing? Giving moral support? Currently, the RUINS are (mostly) finished, and designs for all boss monsters are as well. But this project is so far solo. Any help is appreciated.

Btw the mini kirs is the SOUL and not Kris so this means that the player in this case is absolutely cracked at whatever smash the physics are based on

[enqvpnyqerrzheef]

wrong it is kris actually it represents a part of themself that they fear and it's also the part of themself that's fucking busted at marth

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
