#Open Poll

[akubaras-gf-au-collection]

Thanks to an EXTREMELY generous donor, for the first time, a monthly goal was not only hit, but absolutely smashed.

They didn't have a preference, so I'll be leaving this to a vote!

He loves the attention, don't worry.

Attention Lost Boys OC/Self Shippers

I'd like to try something that just popped in my head.

No context just pick one ;3

Okay so I gotta know.

From left to right we have A- The Crane Fly, B- The Cellar Spider, and C- The Harvestmen

Please feel free to add in the tags any other colloquial names you have for these guys, and where you’re from/grew up—saw a poll on here specifically about the crane fly but wanted to know if there was a big difference in what peoples image of a daddy long legs is.

I’ve got a poll for youse because ever since I picked my chosen name I’ve noticed something keeps happening and it’s very interesting and I want hard data:

Fully OK to reblog this and spread for a wider sample size because so far in my experience out and about the answer I expect is not the one I tend to get and that’s what led to me making this!

I can't decide 🎵

Okay, let's have a good think about scripting languages that I might use in Project Special K. I wrote about this before, but really I'm just trolling for comments and suggestions.

Option 1 - Lua

Relatively easy to implement, especially with something like Sol on top.

Well known, often used for game scripts.

I have no earthly clue how to handle multiple objects running their own scripts simultaneously, let alone the whole "wait for some other object to signal back" that I described before.

Option 2 - JavaScript

Could be a nice challenge to implement, maybe with something like Duktape?

Well known, but not as often used for game scripts as Lua.

The third point is exactly the same as for Lua.

Option 3 - bespoke Lisp-like

Tricky to implement, but I've done it a bunch of times now to varying degrees.

Not as well known nowadays, I suppose, compared to JS and Lua.

I already know how to allow for cooperative multi-threading and waiting for other objects to finish, as described before. Just gotta implement the whole thing.

Option 4 - Event Flow

The script engine used in Animal Crossing New Horizons, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and probably many other Switch games.

This option is a joke to make the list longer.

Obviously supports waiting for outside things.

Option 5 - Something else

Who knows, maybe one of you reading this has a better idea?

As a reminder of what I kept referring to, there would be several things running simultaneously like villagers, gift balloons, bugs, the hourly weather and chime thing, the player, and the UI. When you talk to a villager, they stop what they're doing and run a script. That script can then cause a dialogue box to appear by spawning in a new game object. The script should then sit and wait until the dialogue box is dismissed, all while the villager sits and waits until the script signals it's done, while the dialogue box and script can trigger animations to play on the villager and player alike... all while all these other objects still process in the background, and may themselves run scripts.

I'd rather not start on implementing something as in-depth as a script system, let alone with a feature such as that, without being certain it's not a very bad idea.

Doesn't need to be the best idea. Just not a very bad one.

Guarantee it's been asked before, but screw it. Sexy Vampire Poll!

Since I mentioned I might rewrite some Zelda fanfics of mine I decided to make a first poll based on which fanfic I should rewrite first.

Besides the one shot ones I will also be working on my rewrite of my project "Twilight Mask" (name might change) as well as my original concept Zelda story (name not decided yet)

For now I'll give the option between two of my personal favorite one shots I wrote back in the day.

Summaries for each fic is underneath the cut.

Lost in the Melody Summary:

Following a strange melody that echoes through the thick mist of the Lost Woods, Link finds himself confronted with a being of a long long forgotten past.

(Set post BotW and pre TotK events as this was written before TotK was still known as BotW2.)

Remembered Summary:

Link somehow found himself captured by none other than the Yiga Clan. With all his gear taken away from him he doesn't see a way he could possibly escape. That is until an unexpected accomplice gives him a helping hand.

(Set during the events of BotW. This one has actual potential to spiral into a whole AU of its own but I decided to leave it as a one shot instead. I simply liked the idea of the return of a certain character. And I'm sure some of you might guess who I'm talking about.)
