Hey guys! River here, once again reporting that I am NOT dead, and I DO plan on continuing the comic at some point! I will keep you updated when I have more helpful information sorted out. ^^;
But in the MEANTIME, I thought I’d pop in and show off some of the cast of IANAA recreated in Azimooth’s Lords of Ponykeep game. I got selected as an alpha tester, and the character creator has by far been my favorite part. :D
First, of course, we have Salespitch:
Testers get an alicorn cheatcode, so I was able to properly make my boy, I was so pleased. XD There are a LOT of mane style options, but since I could only do two tones, his colors got simplified to just blue-black and teal. Which, ironically, was how he was almost designed before I added in the extra stripes of darker teal! :D Sadly there was no briefcase cutie mark quarter rune (but, I mean, is anyone surprised by this? Not I), so I picked the coins because 1) selling = money, and 2) provides his gold accent! :D Lookit this cutiepie, he is raring for adventure!
Camera Shy was TRICKY; he has that really weird unique manestyle already, and his cutie mark is a camera which naturally isn’t a likely quarter rune to find in a game inspired by Ye Olden Days. I chose the gong because it kinda reminds me of a front-facing camera. He also got Concerned Eyes because, I mean. It’s Cam.
Pressing Matters came out super cute XD I’m pleased I was able to get a decent spread of spots! Couldn’t find an inkpot, but I chose the honey because the color matches and it’s a glass container. That dance pose so perfectly encapsulates her enthusiasm for printing.
Sadly the Ye Olden Days did not have sunglasses, so Pitch Black is missing his key accessory. He is still ready and willing to beat up on any fools who mess with his little brother, though. :D I’m actually not SURE what that cutie mark is, but it’s golden and circular and looks cool, so. Here we are. XD; And his expression is so perfect.
And finally... it’s meee! :D Featuring the blep! Honestly, for having to cut my mane and hoof colors from 4 tones to 2, I really like the compromise I came up with. And the quill pen quarter rune was a PERFECT stand-in for my cutie mark; it even has a tiny touch of blue! :D I’ll be a little immodest and just say it, guys: my pone looks darn cute.
Hope ya’ll enjoyed! Keep an eye on Azimooth’s blog for updates on the progress of the game. And I’ll let ya’ll know as soon as I have some concrete news about when IANAA will be starting up again!
