Very rough draft of my (hopeful) entry into blacktabbygames’ art contest? Livestream? Either way
I could see the Happily Ever After waltz in my brain. The only thing that stopped me for any amount of time was that I didn’t know what waltzes looked like
@ anybody who's started getting interested in slay the princess after watching Markiplier play it: trust me. trust me on this. stop watching his playthrough. don't even think about his playthrough. ideally wait for the pristine cut to be released (completely free expansion to the game.) but if you're impatient it's complete as-is. go play it yourself. as blind as possible. trust me. TRUST ME. the game is SO MUCH BETTER when you're the one behind the wheel, making all the choices, and you don't know what will happen when you make them.
it's a very, very, very good game, if you can't afford it the devs are perfectly fine with piracy, there are two of them, they have plenty of the money they need to support their future projects, you can always buy the game later or official slay the princess merch to support them financially, i'm telling you this for your own good, trust me, you want to play it yourself and you want to avoid Markiplier's playthroughs until you do.
i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
i...love subversion. and in stars and time does it so well...
"the chosen one" wasn't actually chosen by fate, but by circumstance, and is terrified that shes a fraud
big strong dumb guy isnt actually stupid, and kind of hates that people think he is
callous older character is actually incredibly caring in her own, slightly abrasive way, and proves she keeps an eye out for everyone
edgy loner rogue is actually very tired of being alone and craves connection to a dangerous degree
the naive young child isnt actually naive at all, they understand the danger they are in, and they understand the danger the others are in because of them
the guide themselves is lost and just as scared and the protagonist.
it's a shame you can't Cool, Silent, and Mysterious your way to being very close to people. we are unfortunately going to have to embarrass ourselves for this
something about marine biology and benefits
