Re: the skin conversation / random thought about skins

I think the issue with the lack of resources stem from the fact that the animanga community started with w/e works type of skins in like 2012. And then around 2015 or so people started to slowly code bigger and better skins, and that community continued to grow, creating a LOT of resources around 2015-2019 or so for people learning to code.

But most of those people are gone now, and those resources are outdated, which leaves small options for new ppl to learn off of. Not to mention that there is now this high bar that was left behind from the people who learned how to skin from that time period, because they now make BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ART for skins, and that can be hard to match.

Just adds a bit more complexity of "just make more options" unfortunately.


I do think theres been a rising trend of more simplicity in skins, so i hope that leaks into more accessibility for people who need it.

crop. adjust brightness. adjust vibrance. save lmao.
 


this is the way lol

I feel too uncomfortable doing more than a simple brightness adjustment. I dont want to make the art unrecognizable, because idk, it feels a bit disrespectful for me. Though i understand why people do.

quick interest check for a survival roleplay? 

thinking of setting the events of in arc style chapters? for example.

chapter / arc one =  the first victim via the illness that's been going around, setting off a chain reaction

chapter / arc two = first zombie is spotted , detained and eliminated 

chapter / arc three =  the zombies are piling up and the town is thrown into chaos

and then so on from there. I'm thinking survivor groups start forming, I'm thinking bounties and quests (i.e. obtaining supplies from a zombie infected hospital),  npc zombies popping into threads, fate system, etc. Would anyone be interest in something like this? The skin will be done next week 

Echoing off what someone else said, i think this could be a really cool idea for a site. But, maybe to help give more weight to player decision, after a certain point (maybe after arc 3) there are a set of predetermined possible paths the staff has decided, and based off the decisions of these players (maybe a point system, maybe a raid, a vote etc), one of those paths are taken as the story progress.


so like 

chapter / arc one = the first victim via the illness that's been going around, setting off a chain reaction



chapter / arc two = first zombie is spotted , detained and eliminated



chapter / arc three = the zombies are piling up and the town is thrown into chaos

possible arc four 1 = the survivor groups gather to create a small encampment/society 

possible arc four 2 = the area is tossed into chaos, anarchy running hog wild. People travel in nomadic packs moreso than settling down.

I totally understand a lot of animanga face claims are young by default, but when someone uses a super young looking faceclaim (im talking like 12-15) for a character that is 18+, i feel SUUUUPER uncomfortable. Especially because, in most cases, they're always women.

I get so tilted when i see someone take the faceclaim im eyeing. Not actually mad, because how would they know, but more like....when i've been thinking of taking a shower but im too lazy to get up but then my little sister goes to take a shower and im like "NOOOOOO I WAS GOING TO!!! ...eventually"

trying to find art with the right vibe for a setting is so hard. and that isn't ai made.
The fight against ai art is real. It's always a shame to find a piece that just clicks and then you find out its ai generated....

I thought it would be cute to do a thread similar to 'post a random thought', but centered more around RP!

I'll start: I'm sooo curious how big the animanga community is as a whole. Like both consistently and overall. 

Like maybe, right now, there are ~1000 users? But probably way over when considering even inactive members.

Genuinely in love with my current site now. I have a whole lot of free time at work which means way too much time for writing, but I've genuinely not had so much passion for actually writing and developing my characters in a hot minute and I think the community we have is a key reason for that <3
I love that for you!! I think a good community is all anyone needs to rediscover their love of writing.

Just a nice thread to share some positivity. 

Is there a member or staff you love? A cool plot you're currently a part of or excited for? A site you absolutely love? Whatever it is that's making you excited for RP, say it LOUD AND PROUD!

FOR ME? I'm happy right now cause I'm writing an insanely pivotal plot point for both of my characters. Super excited to see how it all shakes up.

I always recommend this site: HOENN

Shounen type site, 13+, can be anything from slice of life to something more serious. The community is more on the mature side, but like, that doesn't stop anyone younger from joining.

Monthly cycle of events, TONS of member events, crazy good world building, a plot that consistently progresses, a great community, long-standing within the community, amazing admin team, etc etc etc 

worth checking out imo

oh, and it's pokemon.
