Merry Christmas everyone!

Apparently reblog doesn't let you add videos, so I got to make a new post for a little animation that I made for @birdmitosis stp fic

Slight spoiler for their fic

It's more of a practice than the actual thing.

Hero get YEET like the blade :D

I saw the description of your designs and I a bit confused about the "scaled face", so I tried using the eye pattern. If I got it wrong, feel free to correct me or provide references! Your fic is amazing ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

Aye, welcome back! Let's get right back into the conversation :D

The ENTIRE code of chapter 1?

Yep, the entire code. It isn't really complicated though, just a bunch of if-else (which my friend commented as "messy"), the difficult part is it's a LOT. So not difficult, but definitely time-spending.

I was wishing it would be variable-point system, those are much more faster to decipher.

I know, the screencap is amazing indeed uwu

"I thought you died whenever you looked in the mirror"

Thanks for liking my art! The ones I draw for "everyone hates you" is those who had spoken, wanna guess who's who?

I think maybe it's because after looking into the mirror, it's the end of a chapter, an ending. The world is left without any changes after, which would barely count as living anymore, just like you wouldn't call a statue "alive", and yet some part of them are with the shifting mound, alived and scattered.

"get around" explanation

Thanks for the explanation!

Oh, that's why people make smut fics of them (or maybe they just like it idk). Them chatting & moving inside head is definitely something I would animated, have that one in mind for a long time!

Your fic

Might do both split, but I definitely have the punch one in mind. Don't worry, the colour things totally makes sense, I know how to work with that! I probably use mostly grey scales with a tad of color for now. Smitten and energetic voices got more vibraint stuff, while cold and the quiet ones got a more subtle change in colour, if that's ok with you.

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Hey, remember the post that I said I'm making animatic for the razor? I'm also working on others! I just don't know which songs to pick.

Care to lend a hand?

I'm desperate ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Slay the princess animatic wip

Guess the song (I doubt you can, no offence

Small doodle undercut (Mild spoilers)

"Cut you open and look at your insides " :)

Updated about the beak paradox

The developer's answer.

Future reference for anyone who wants to draw the protagonist of slay the princess

Bits and parts of the protagonist body I gathered, might update it if I found anything else

There will be spoilers&gore

You ready?

Ok

Usually we only see the arm and the mirror, I brightened it up so we can see clearly

Our protagonist got wings! FOUR of them! Made me kinda wonder why they haven't use it, maybe it's because they didn't know? But they also acknowledge their feathers and claws so I'm not sure.

Next is feet (Wraith route) . They have webs, and their feathers extend to their knee.

This is from the adversary route where your face get yeet off. The triangle is the beak, at least I think so?

2023/12/15 update:

It is confirmed by the developer that the protagonist has a beak and he also does not have a beak because he and the princess's nature is paradox

And a bunch of organs :)

I think that the protagonist have grey skin? At least that's what I get from Fury, but than again most of the game is grey scaled.

If you guys found anything interesting, please do tell me to add to the list!

Maybe (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Cool, that makes sense!

If you don't mind asking, what do you think looking into the mirror means for these "broken shards of glass"?

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Sorry for the delay response, real life have been busy, preparing for tests that I probably still messed up lol

Anyway, on to the discussion!

How to get different routes

Good news, I got the the code of Ch 1 ! Hooray! It's A LOT, big respect to @blacktabbygames ! Haven't got the time to look into the whole thing but I might in my free time.

We also have fun messing with the settings, where the narrator's "She will lie, she will..." get cut of by my lazy translation of "meow meow meow...". Though my voice doesn't fit so I won't be posting it, well until it fit.

But here's a screenshot of the silly we've done!

(They call me Potato due to many people mistook my pfp as a Potato, my current username is a mixture of my YouTube (U0_Ghost) and the joke)

And yep, Slay the princess is definitely one of the game which the more info you get the more confuse you got.XD

Voices aware

It's really interesting how they are aware what have happened! And "everyone hates you" is somehow my favourite ending, I like to imagine the long quiet getting beat up by the voices.

(I wanted to draw everyone but remember I haven't finished designing)

To be honest I'm not sure what "voice gets around" means since English isn't my mother tongue, it's a foreign phrase for me.

Visual

Thanks for liking my idea (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

I did thought about how the water holds us, but haven't thought of how we hold the princess. I kinda get the feeling, but how to draw us holding her is a bit confusing, maybe like glue? Or broken container?

Your fic

I think I might draw the first split, it's where all the chaos started LOL but I'm still working on how to draw voices when they have no body and talking among each others, or maybe just the punch scene.

Also, congratulations on releasing chapter 5! It was really fun to read, love the Contrarian's body language (since we finally have some lively body, unlike Skeptic&Cold who has a more subtle ones)

And out the window we go! Yay! I've been waiting for that to happen and it it VERY satisfying :D

There's so much more I want to scream about, and it's a lot, so put it simpler, "great job! I love every second of it!"

Btw, do you think that in your story is still greyscale, or do you think it would have colours?

Confusion, not knowing how to react, not knowing the emotions behind those big eyes

Hi?

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Welp, that means I can help, I know how to animate and I love it :D

Thanks again for responding, and of course I would like your fic! I can really feel the heart that you pour into them (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ

Sorry for the previous long reblog, I haven't noticed, fix done.

And here's my response:

Separate roughly

Thanks for the confirmation! I like checking out others playthrough a lot, but what I like more is understanding the motive of the player's action, so translating for a friend definitely fun and gives me more understanding on the player's decision. The simplified way my friend got adversary is:

Take the knife (essential)->ask all questions (hesitate?) ->try saving but doesn't bother to fully do it -> slay her (essential) ->persist (essential)

From what I gather, the difference between other take knife choice is whether you go straight for the kill (Spectre), question dead/have knife (Razor), gave up or not (Tower), and run away(Nightmare).

The others are rather clear on what to do, while adversary is a bit unclear for me. The friend of mine knows some coding so I might ask them to look inside for me, to better understand what the creator of the game thinks.

Voice and mirror

Ohh, that's really interesting! I've known about "we've always been here" but never thought of it like that, I would like to imagine as cracks on glasses that are barely visible, but with every death, it cracks and falls off. And the shifting mound use duct tape to fix us lol

I admit I am not sure what you mean by this

I'll first explain the reason for the question:

I like slay the princess-> I want to contribute to the fandom

I draw art, want to be lore accurate->gather info->ask people to clarify info

I was kind of going for a metaphor sense, so I can get a better grip on the character to know how I want to present them. (which is also the exact same reason I haven't made much fanwork lol)

That's why I've asked you on what you think the princess would be. The "I don't think that we are ever in the mirror" reminds me that it's"shard of glass" not mirror, sorry if my bad memory confuses things.

"Everything in there that isn't you is Her" and how she responded after collecting a vessel makes me imagine scattered glasses and hands floating in a growing water, as you collect more vessels, the water eventually grows from ponds to ocean. The changing current bringing the glass piece together and apart (or maybe something else).

After watching my friend play and your explanation, I think I have a grasp on how I want to do. Thanks for giving me your opinion on stp, it really helps constructing what I'm going for! If you see all the strikethrough, don't mind them, it's just my intrusive thoughts.

P.s. I'm going to open some sort of draw your headcannon/fanfic in the near future. Really likes your fics and want to draw them, if you don't mind, is there any specific scene that you wish to be drawn/animated?

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Interesting, I'll see what I could gather after my friend played to the shifting mound part.

I think maybe "the hero" is what the creator thought:

What we, the player assumes:

What the princess would assume

P.s. I'm going to open some sort of draw your headcannon/fanfic in the near future. I like your fanfic and know you also draw, but I'm not sure if you animate. So if I may, is there any specific scene that you wish to be animate?

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

Thanks for showing up again!

That's a really cool idea! May I ask if you have any thoughts of how the hero is always here?

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

First if all,

OMG someone actually responded! With so much! And it's the author of "wear whatever feathers you choose"!!!

I'm really happy that you decided to respond and think about it, and your fanfic is really great, I'd already read multiple times, love how you portray the voices.

I'm not really good with words but I'll try my best to also share my opinions on your thoughts, if you don't mind.(I hope you don't)

Separation of SM & LQ is not clean

I'll be honest here, I haven't seen all of the dialogue with narrator in the confrontation scene, only partially. But I think I've seen someone else also mentioned it? Might have new thoughts after I watch every single of them.

It's really interesting to think that due to a part of her being part of you, you change just like she did. And I hadn't actually thought of them breaking off because you cannot change completely, that's new! :D

Voices=reason that get us killed

Agee

I never got a chance to play slay the princess, and only had the chance to engage through playthrough recently, by helping a friend translate.

It's funny how when my friend played the adversary, the only reason they got that path is because since they already start fighting her, might as well finished the job. Not sure if that counts as stubborn, but I guess it's similar? They didn't back out from the fight, and both of them shall perish together.

In the adversary, they were scared of the princess and choose with a careful approach which resulted in the hunted, "Fear is good, fear keeps us alive". But it's also fear that causes us to lose, and gives us the ability to sense.

A few more things that I hope you don't mind sharing opinions on

Does looking at the mirror makes us whole again or is it something else?

If we're in are mirror what will the princess be? (Just asking for art reason)

I'm not really good with words (more of a art person), but I hope I convey my point. Thanks again for responding!

Quick question with a bit of spoilers for spectre route of stp:

And why?

You know when you are pennyless and really want to experience all the possibilities of slay the princess, what do you do?

Persuade a friend into buying them of course! :D

Stream#1 Stream#2

Here's a little text conversation between me and them, after they finished their first route, it's a bit messy but I'd try sorting it

See if you can figure out which route they played before the picture reveals (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

"With dialogue box"=>Friend

Without=>Me

Obviously there will be spoilers

Q.What do you think the character looks like?

"Well at least his height would around normal, maybe a bit short?"

"But his hands looks like THAT, yet there still a choice when confronting the hand thingy: *I'm a person*, so hmmm, a human maybe?"

Q. how about body&face?

"His body would probably be strong, since he can fight the princess neck to neck in chapter 3. There'll proabably be some scale-like things on their chest just like their arms, and the other parts are normal skin

I think the face would be similar to the style of the princess in chapter 1. Probably looks like a normal person, maybe a bit cowardly."

That's because YOU'RE the coward

"Oh shoot"

Q. Anyway, you didn't mention any clothes, does he have any? If he does what kind?

"Proabably just plain cloth?"

"The protagonist seems weaker in terms of physical strength"

maybe :)

"What, like, is there a way to win without a knife?"

:)

"...?"

Q. Anyway, what kind of hair style do you think they'll have?

"I actually thought about this, but than I got lazy, and thought maybe bald would fit"

BALD XD Seriously?

"Uhhh, short with a little ponytail?"

"I'm not sure, since we didn't see the protagonist"

THERE IS A MIRROR

"two glowy eyes, a hand on mirror, the other on face. Rest it black"

turn up the brightness :)

"ok, I'll go try"

.

.

.

wait, did you go open the game?

(Panicking for any spoiler that I forgot)

(Many message/phonecalls and instructions later)

"And the game is a lot more scarier than I thought"

"ohh, the design is cool"

that's cause your alone now :)

"I didn't finish OMORI cause I was scared af"

LOL I should probably just let you play stp by yourself with some translation robot :)

"NO"

"If you do that I probably gave up uwu"

>:(

"I not gonna be dumb and ask for trouble"

Come on, it's a horro game, you coward :(

"I can still feel it, ok?! not like the horror is gone"

I don't, it's funny and calming (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Anyway I finished your version of protagonist

who would have thought it would be adversary XD

"I just thought since I started might as well finish it"

"And then the kill-love route"

And then the kill-love route

"I didn't even know how!!"

LOL

"Btw, is the hands part suppose to be scary?"

Oh that? That's not even scary, you haven't even play the scary part :) I should probably go prepare the translation and let you play alone

"NOPE!!"

YES

"I'll give up"

I will watch you :)

"why do I feel that you're scarier"

;)

End of conversation

They got adversary & the eye of the needle. Congratulations to anyone who got it right

For anyone who found calling adversary "the kill-love route" weird, it's kinda translated from our language. However the common usage would be of a "love-hate relationship", which doesn't fit adversary route, so I change it up a bit

Not sure if I ruined their experience by saying some weird out of context stuff, but it definitely ease their fear so I'm going to keep doing that >:)

Plus, it's funny. And I'll have more to draw

I also watch them play OMORI today, it DEFINITELY ease the fear. I've past out in the middle of the game cause of all the walking, sorry for any OMORI lovers out there

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I hope you all like his take of protagonist, and have a good day! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
