August 6th, 1986 is a really special day, and Demake86 is an homage to that day :^)

The conceit: Pack a Metroidvania into 8^6 pixels! 8x8 pixels per tile, 8x8 tiles per room, 8x8 rooms in the whole contiguous map.

Sorry I waited so long but I wanted to answer with Entry 3 out!

And the answer is... here

The events are definitely rearranged around. I wanted Entry 3 to be the payoff to the Stripes gathering monsters to attack the mansion sublot that never got a payoff in the original. But if you were to lay both timelines side by side, this is where we are.

And honestly I am pooped from working on it. Expect another entry in like half a year or something. Its prolly gonna be half as long. I think I pushed the envelope for myself enough. I really hope it paid off.

This entry was a behemoth, so there was a lot of thought and moving parts going into it. Now that the first three entries are out, I feel like Hollowtown is more... presentable now? Like newcomers can get a better understanding as to what this series is gonna be about going forward.

But yeah, this was a massive task to undergo so feel free to ask about it! About Jane or Stripes or Syke or the rake or the mansion itself. OH! Or how I came up with this sigil! I designed it myself actually.

Or toby's new mask and why I changed it. Or Lucida's backstory or-

okay you can tell im a little community interaction starved.

Im just glad I can finally stop being closed off from the rest of the CRP community now.

Piece of paper

Billy Bones (Tom Hopper) in Black Sails 1x1 I (2014)

Peter Pulkka (Emil Kihlström) in Syke 15x18 Vääränlaista kemiaa [Wrong type of chemistry] 2/ 4 (2023)

He's been Captain America for like a decade. People see him and remember he had played the pinnacle of moral decisions wrapped in spandex. It is painfully obvious that Ransom is the killer the longer the movie goes on, but there's this little voice in the back of your head that goes "but this is Steve Rogers we're talking about! He didn't do this!"

He works alongside Marta, offers to keep her secret of 'killing' Harlan in exchange for his part of the inheritance, and does all these things with an asshole-ish smile and just enough rudeness to keep him distant and suspicious, but this is Steve Fucking Rogers. He didn't do this.
