2. Do you have any random trivia/fun facts about Nathair/Lenord?💜🖤

— About Lenord: Lenord doesn't have a very spontaneous sense of humor. She understands sarcasm, but rarely finds it funny. She tends to enjoy more direct and overtly comedic jokes instead. She's a fan of cheap comedy, silly puns, and children's jokes.

About Nathair: Nathair has a peculiar condition that causes his nose to bleed whenever he experiences a strong emotion—anger, joy, fear, shock, and so on. It's something he has dealt with since childhood. Even after his death, it remained one of the few traits that the memory of his former body preserved as part of his identity, along with the appearance of his blind eye and the scar on his chest.

3. What inspired you to make games like Aeterna Nativatis Noctibus and Aeterna Halloween Notibus, two games with holiday themes/aesthetics?🎄🎃

— One day, during a random conversation with my best friend, we were talking about her universe of characters, which at the time was heavily inspired by Halloween. We also talked about other characters and settings with similar aesthetics. Back then, I had no intention of creating something like that myself because I was already focused on my main universe. However, one random night, I came up with a worldbuilding idea that I simply couldn't get out of my head.

The idea was this: a literary universe where each country is based on a different holiday or celebration. It's somewhat similar, yet quite different, from the concept of The Nightmare Before Christmas (El extraño mundo de Jack).

At first, I started developing Halloween, but after working on the story of Nativitatis, I realized that it captivated me much more. It was more ambitious, richer in story, and more emotionally driven. Halloween, on the other hand, was always episodic in my mind—short games where each installment revolved around solving a specific problem.

Fun fact: In my main universe, most real-world holidays do not exist. Because of that, my idea was to make this holiday-themed literary universe a sub-universe that exists as a collection of books read by the characters from my main universe.»

I hope my answers were good, hehe. I haven't been using Tumblr much lately either because I don't get many questions + not even drawing quite a lot, but it still made me really happy to see you here! (✿^‿^)

Btw THE DRAWING IS SO FRICKIN CUTEEE AAAHHHH!! LOVE UR ART SO MUCH?! I really love the fact u put urself as Pompompurin, he's literally my fav Sanrio character, haha. I have a lot of merch of him and I'm gonna get more. ✨😆

In the "img/characters" folder, you must save the characters with the "$" symbol at the beginning so that it reads them as independent characters. Example: "$-Namefile" Regarding the size of each sprite, I recommend that it be slightly larger than or equal to the size of the tile set slot on the map. This is to avoid fun bugs where the character crosses collisions. ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

For my games, I used a wide variety of sizes for the character sheets, but if you want to define your own, I recommend first creating a small version of the character, then cropping it to the desired size, and then using a calculator to do the following calculation:

x = Size of the character frame a = Result of the overall sprite sheet.

x × 3 = a

And then the same for the height.

y = Height of the character frame b = result of the overall sprite sheet.

y × 4 = b

If my answer is too technical, here are some sprite sheet guides I used during the development of my two games, "Memento Morin" and "Aeterna Nativitatis Noctibus" ^^

The left one it's for the sprite type of ANN like it's no pixel art, and the right one it's like Memento Morin's that is full pixel art!

Also, if you want to use the pixel art again I highly recommend u to use medibang instead krita or other drawing app, bc medibang has also tools that helps you to do and cute pixel art! Promise! ^^

Anyway, if you found my explanation difficult to understand, I recommend this video where they explain it better. ^^
