Doodle's Gameoverse Brainrot

Hi! You can call me Doodle! And this is my Gameoverse centric blog for all things Gameoverse because I am obsessed with it at the moment (and hopefully for awhile).

My main account is @sirtotallynotatimetraveler but I haven't posted there in awhile ever since I was into another fandom back in 2024. But one day I will be back there....one day.

Anyway, Gobbles is my favorite character of all time. He's my comfort character and he's what gives me joy and motivation to learn what I don't know. I also really like dinosaurs (like a LOT) so he was designed specifically for me to love him. (I feel uncomfortable about people explicitly sexualizing him, so please hold off on any comments like that around me please, thank you.)

I'm also a big fan of the ship DinoBytes/Fossilfuels aka Kaboodle x Gobbles, which were ship names I came up with :D. I plan to make a lot of art of them but of course I will draw more of the rest of the cast or Gobbles only drawings too since I love the show and general and can't wait to see what comes next for Gameoverse!

Swimsuit seasonnnnnnn. PUT THOSE MEN IN BIKINIS!!!!

Duuuude. Don't say that it's embarrassing. I too, also ask other fellow artists on tips and help on art stuff and I get a bit nervous as well, but that should never be the case. You're learning! We all are when it comes to art and animation and I think its stellar that you wanted to ask me!

But as for your question:

When it comes to animating things such as animatics, I tend to use Toonsquid on the IPad. Its about 12 dollars on the app store. I would say if you're beginning to start animating on programs for the first time with no prior experience, it can be a bit tricky. I would recommend watching some tutorials online to get a better idea of how to use it but I'd say when it comes to transferring audio, its pretty easy. There should be a plus symbol on the animation frame bar where you can import your audio file into it easily. As for timing. That's something that you have to go back and forth for to make it the most accurate to the way you want it to be. I tend to rewatch the animation over and over to see if there's anything that still delays with the audio that I am making the animation to by decreasing or increasing the amount of frames a certain drawing has. Its all about trial and error with timing I'd say. Toonsquid probably is pretty beginner friendly if you're willing to spend a bit of cash. There aren't many convoluted menus or tools that give you a migraine to navigate if you've never used an animation program before. So I recommend it the most!

Additionally, if you have procreate, you can use animation assist in the canvas settings and each layer will act as a frame of animation. However, you will have to edit in audio yourself using an editing tool such as capcut. Its a more simpler way to animate, but it comes with a bunch of downside, especially with timing. But if you want to animate a simple animation or gif without audio, that's what I use.

A casual Gameoverse human au where Farcade and Syntax are rival arcade companies that are right across from eachother. All of the characters are coworkers at their respective arcade teams and they are constantly trying to get customers to stay and play their games or else they will be out of business.

Farcade is maybe a more retro classic type of arcade with old but fun games. Syntax is kind of a more modern arcade with new games. They're like a Dave and Busters kind of thing, and they're pulling in more customers than Farcade because they are more up to date with their games.

All of them are human as mentioned before, and they all come from different backgrounds and different purposes of being there. Like Kit and Kaboodle (most of the characters are named differently as humans) are like maybe step-siblings and they used to go to the Farcade arcade for years and were regulars enough to become close with the owner of the place, Dusk. So when their parents died due to an accident, Dusk took them in as a fatherly figure and has made them start working at Farcade, and they are now co-managers of the place. Then Gobbles is like a part-timer who's struggling to make ends meet as he's working to become an elementary teacher. Then Flappers is a very talented swim tournament athlete who moved from another country as an abroad student who need a job to pay tuition.

As for Syntax, Fold and Miss Information are assistant managers at their arcade, always trying to make sure customers are always coming in, lest their boss Warrick berated them about losing sales. Fold is a video game champion who know all the games and how to get high scores on them from the back of his hand. He was hired specifically because of how much he stayed in that arcade to beat records on each and every game. He also has a hobby for origami on the side. Miss Information is also on the same boat as Fold, having been a regular at the Syntax arcade and has managed to beat Fold's records every now and then. So they're neck and neck with each other constantly on trying to be the #1 employee of the month and still try to one up each other on high scores for some games. Additionally Miss Information is a former army recruit and is very analytical with how to draw in customers and how to keep them staying and always coming back to Syntax. Then Crab Girl is a new hire, and while she's not the best at words for now, she's trying her best. She just moved from her home near the ocean to the big city, but she's enthusiastic to work at Syntax.

I don't know if this is what you meant, but teeeeechnically he is a tsundere in these. But this was like the first idea I had when drawing Gameoverse stuff, so I have some old sketches of this idea awhile back. But I redrew the designs again after getting the hang of stylizing them.

But essentially, it's a classic dating sim world that they're on for a mission. And Kit and Kaboodle accidentally mixed up their outfits for the mission because their outfit changing devices glitched. So now Kaboodle is in a schoolgirl outfit. Hijinks ensues.

Concept sketches:

Don't judge the old way I drew them, this was a month back, I was still experimenting with their stylization haha. I was gonna color these but time passed enough that if I do wanna go back to this idea, I wanna redraw these in my newer stylizations like the first drawing.

But this was just a way to draw Dinobytes fan service cause I'm a fiend like that :p
