Except I cant, because the next installment of Soulbound happens per sometimes. I must remain on this planet, for the gay robots.

I have a comic for mecha au in progress I can give you a little sneak peek to ease the pain haha

A funny bug from my and my friend's playthrough of Little Nightmares 3 :)

I love my AU 🥰

My first AU! 🎉

Bluestreak: You know, you kind of remind me of my brother who went missing when I was really little.

Prowl: Hm, weird. Anyway, the door now leads to the bedrooms.

Bluestreak: Thanks mister building!

Jazz, listening in, remembering hes the only one who knows Prowl was human: ...ah.

OH WAIT I LOVE THAT IDEA

Also imagine if human Prowl is not a fan of family reunions and generally spends 99% of his life working and he ALSO sucks at maintaining connections. So when Blue gets older (smth like..18? 20?) his parents randomly mention that “oh I remember your brother” and Blue is like “I HAVE A BROTHER???”

I'm not sure I'm understanding their characters right. I hope this is at least a little bit canon.

*looking at my last post * oh. I did a lot. I'll try to tell it short. Let's go.

Tweaking the water for above-ground

I lost a bit of Swerve's animations, but he now floats on the water to the shore (there's a bug though, yes). And also the enemy can swim behind Swerve in the water if chasing him. Also added a small detail that if Swerve was holding Blurr when he fell into the water, he throws Blurr into the water.

Enemies

Added enemy animations. Also added a spike enemy. Started to wonder if I needed an under- and overwater enemy at once. Maybe I'll make the water snake a just water-enemy. Mmmm, I'll think about it some more.

HP system

Blurr and Swerve are now able to take damage from enemies (no damage taking animation yet). They are also able to restore HP via a health kit. If Swerve approaches alone, he only restores to himself. If he is with Blurr, he restores Blurr if he has less HP

Game Over and Main Menu

I added a main menu to the game (simple. Just "Start Game" and "Quit"). I didn't come up with a name for the game. I'm having trouble with that. I also added a simple game over. Probably I'll change it, but for now.

Small bonus. Disappearing Walls

Sometimes there will be buildings that you can enter. And then they'll have a wall disappear so we can see what's inside them. If you switch to another character who is not in the building, the wall will appear. And likewise, if another player was in a different building, the wall will appear in the previous building and will disappear in the new one.

Okay, I tried not to talk too much so it wouldn't get bored. But I have a couple of funny moments below. You don't have to read them. They're just little things that aren't already in the game or will be in the future.

I'll start with the funny things that came before.

The first version of the enemy for ground and water. It was some kind of wild mermaid with a jaw halfway up his head. But I couldn't animate and draw him normally.

2. Blurr used to have two collision. A collision is an area that makes the object and player a physical object rather than a body-less picture. My brain thought that if I made the collision invisible, it would go away. Apparently it doesn't.

There are still a couple of quirks that still work, but I'll fix them:

Blurr can get out of the water and fly into the sky. This is because he can go through collision. I'll fix this, um, later.

When you change a character, the past character freezes. That is, Swerve can freeze in mid-air.

I tried a very long to got a full health kit. And when I got it, my Swerve got stuck in the water and I didn't have time to save him XD

And future plans:

Add save mechanics.

Add a mini game, along the lines of Among Us (that's the first game that came to my mind), while interacting with the generator.

Add the ability to open and close doors (for Swerve)

Make Blurr useful. I think he should be given the ability to move objects underwater. This sounds ridiculous, because Blurr is fast and I'll force him to carry heavy weight

Also I want to practice with procedural generation for another game for the same AU

Aaaaaaaaaand… that's the end of it. I'll see you in… after a while. Idn

HEAR ME OUT Perceptor who originally was a scientist and invented a new, his own way to connect humans with machine.

His technology was (in theory) safer and less painful and had much less nasty side effects. Which is awesome and all but the thing is - it was also much more expensive. So his research got rejected. Spending more money to make pilots lives more comfortable?? Bruh what a waste of money! It’s much more effective to put the same budget into weapons!

No one said that out loud of course. Officially they rejected the idea as “underdeveloped” “untested” and “unsafe”.

So Perceptor went “Fine I’ll do it myself” and became a pilot just to prove his point.

Government: We don’t approve! The technology is untested!

Perceptor: Can you ask around if someone would be willing to test it?

Government: No.

Perceptor: Fine. I’ll test it on myself.

Government: But…but but YOU DONT HAVE A PILOT LICENSE!

Perceptor: i’ll take a training mech. They can legally be piloted without a license.

Government: We aren’t gonna just give one to you for free!

Perceptor: Okay. *takes one of already broken mechs and repairs it* I’ll take this one. It was in the trash so it’s free.

Government: wh..hu….but BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY WEAPONS! Your behaviour is clearly suicidal we can’t let you!

Perceptor: I upgraded the mech to have a laser.

Government: A laser??? Like a laser gun?? NOT ALLOWE

Perceptor: no. Just a laser. A really big one. It’s a lab equipment. I have a permission to use it.

Government: YOU BITCH. YOU KNOW WHAT. WE WILL ASSIGN YOU TO THE MOST DANGEROUS AND SUICIDAL MISSIONS. GOOD LUCK STAYING ALIVE YOU BOOKWORM

Perceptor: Fine. But if I will be alive in five years and still have no side effects from my drift technology? I will share it worldwide. You will have to admit that the only reason you had of rejecting it is your own greed.

I saw the name. Went "huh. Whale dolphins? Never heard of them. Need to go look up what they look like."

THIS??? THESE ARE THE MOST UNREAL LOOKING DOLPHINS I HAVE EVER SEEN

They are straight from solarpunk fantasy. They're like if they went to a ghost realm and it changed them forever. Their bird noses. Their finless backs. Their thin sharp shapes. They escaped out of a fancy ink painting.

These iridescent nightmares can grow up to three meters or ten feet in length! But you wouldn’t know that because they keep most of their spiny bodies buried under the sand.

Bobbit worms hunt like a harpoon gun and a sarlacc pit had an extremely romantic evening together. In that the damn thing springs out, clamps down into an unsuspecting fish with those Predator Ass jaws, and then drags them underground to finish the job.

Anywho, imagine a giant version of this thing infesting sewer systems and popping out of manhole covers.

This but giant and living in the sewer? This is finest nightmare material I love it.

If we can have Shockwave being giant for no reason then we can have these worms being giant as well~

It's the cartoon logic👌

Just need to figure out exactly how they'll defeat him and what kind of ‘temporary respawn pockets’ to make, so the player can switch to another character and do actions to change the boss phase. In doing so, the other character must not have died yet

This sounds like something very interesting to ponder, but most likely the ‘epiphany’ to me will come at night.

Okay, I should get back to fixing annoying bugs.
