Sharing a bit of my recent progress. Working on the menu made me realize @quonit was right and I should've started working on coding dialogue before making surfaces (I also stole your parallel lines joke). I've come to realize I need a much wider repertoire of judgemental expressions with varying degrees of contempt.

Heya! So I might not have this project ready by December as I originally hoped for. Without going into details, my mental health is worsening and causing me to engage in increased maladaptive behavior. I need time to figure this out and hopefully get to a point where I can focus again.

I will still post updates whenever I make any form of progress, but it’ll probably be sparse given my current mental state. Hoping y’all can understand.

Couple hours trying to figure out why the the “Talk to: Me” choice refused to work in the menu, trying to figure out what was missing. It was one single word. On. OnAiTalk. Fucking hell. AAAAAA.

Figuring out how to give him glasses in a way that didn’t force me to edit every single surface I’ve drawn so far was fairly easy compared to the headache that came with figuring out how the hell to make the tail flick. Took much trial and error but I’m finally able to look at the results without cringing.

It’s not finished yet as I’m planning to add one more tail frame to make the animation seem smoother, but it works in the meantime.

Sketching out some pick up poses for the ghost, if you squint hard enough you’ll find me screaming in the back as I struggle to get his stupid coat and legs right.

Added the code that makes it look like you’re picking him up every time you drag him with the mouse. The surprised expression is just a placeholder for now as I plan to change it for something else, one that looks like he’s being yanked by the scruff or the back of his coat✨

Getting closer to replacing all the existing shells, only two left to go wee.

I keep sidetracking from step 1 (REPLACE ALL SHELL SURFACES ALREADY) so I made petting dialogue instead. I think I want to add a ‘pick kitty up’ surface for when you move him around with your cursor. Next time I get bored of lineart I’ll add it next wee.

Sketches of the surfaces I’ve drawn so far, except for profile Mordecai since I don’t have immediate plans for it. I should be sketching some new ones soon enough as I still need a wider range of facial expressions.

this project will be my ruin fuuck

Hi and welcome to my Mordecai ghost development side blog!

This is basically my space to ramble about my goals and just spam a bunch of pictures of my work in a way that doesn’t clog up my art blog. It’ll also make it so you don’t have to endlessly scroll through my drawings and memes when the only thing you care about is the silly murder cat desktop pet (which VALID).

Anyways, follow if you’re interested in seeing more of this project✨✨ I do plan on making him public for download once I figure out what I’m doing sooo… hopefully in December??
