TW: Implied death (no gore at all though) ... I promise there's not really any actual death shown or anything haha For my sake p l e a s e watch it through at least twice- I made 90% of this with turbowarp which automatically delags the animation a bit so the scratch version is even more laggy if you don't reload it... TAG III - Chapter 1 ///// Info ///// Run time: ~50 seconds, I think. Depends on the lag. Time spent on animation: A decent amount haha- Turbowarp: turbowarp.org/565495006 ///// Summary ///// Blue (For now I'm just going to say when it's not standing in for me, that's the character's name) was abandoned by her parents at a very young age. Struggling to survive, she sets off searching for food, shelter, money—anything she can get her hands on. One day, she is saved by a blacksmith who takes pity on her and shows her how to enchant coins to do the user's bidding. Blue, using this knowledge, turns towards the life of a bounty hunter. In exchange for some money, Blue hunts down and traps wanted criminals in her coins. The rest of the coins, she keeps to survive. Becoming obsessed with the hunt, Blue grows from a wayward hero to a full-on villain. ///// Animation notes ///// I sort of failed to animate the ending of the story due to a last minute camping trip and some other stuff coming up and also my record-breaking procrastination skills and ALSO this thing you may have heard of called a due date but I think the rest I sort of managed to sum up via the animation? Hopefully? If you read the summary before watching it? Heh, it's a completely different a) story and b) format from everyone else's so far, I hope that's ok haha- Fun facts: > If you want the character designs there's an extra sprite in the project. > That's my audio at the beginning... breathing's the most you're going to get out of me haha, I haven't shared my voice here and I'm not planning to... > There may or may not be one or two animations inside the project I did, that I simply did not know where to add... you may or may not understand what it means- > You can determine Blue's age by how long her hair is. The longer, the older. :) (I did mess up the pub scene, she's supposed to be a bit older at that point) > Hmm, that coin Blue slid to the bartender is oddly detailed, isn't it? > The person running isn't blue. Why is that? > If you find other stuff, good on you. You found a probably unintentional easter egg XD Anyways. I'm seriously annoyed that I didn't really finish the plot though~ I didn't even get to the actual villain part TvT so the disclaimer at the very beginning probably doesn't actually make much sense haha- Also I didn't animate the best part of the song because I'm lazy and also didn't want to completely destroy my appreciation for the song while animating to it. :> ///// Inspiration & Credits ///// > The song is Sinners by Barns Courtney > The walking bit was inspired by toastyglow's twitter banner, although I sort of got off track and now it has nothing to do with fire like I'd been planning. https://twitter.com/toastyglow/ > The whole coin bit was inspired by the dragon prince. If you've watched it in full you know what I'm talking about. > Intro card inspired by the intro card of SAD-ist's Captain's Call animation and lightning thing from the end of Hog Hunt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIeAw0-FyZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPiILYNStd8 > I didn't base it on his animation and I didn't even think about it when animating... but rbop's coin animation thingy may have accidentally been in my head when I was animating the end? idk. I noticed the similarity after I shared the project haha- https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/398612780/ > @buggish- and @lirey for lots of help debugging and help with timing > @WaterfallLilyMonster for some help too :) I'd list more but I've been working on this bit by bit for a while and at this point I'm honestly not remembering who else I should talk about... sorry :/
