OCR04686: Super Hexagon: Focused - Crashlander

[Focus]

from OverClocked ReMix; originally a track on the album Last One Out Turns Off the Light by Crashlander. more by Crashlander here

song credits and lyrics:

Guitars: Sándor Berki, Gábor Sárosi, Attila Géczy

Bass: Attila Géczy

Vocals: Attila Géczy

lyrics:

[Verse 1] The chase just started But many won't pursue Dream like floating Carried by the flow

There's goals and progress (goals and progress) The wheel never stops Structure and direction As the focus never drops

[Scream 1] Connected, unsuspected Tessellated and plain symmetric Intersected, injected Collated and downright electric

[Chorus 1] Without a will to form it right Without it working like a glue The strength will offer nothing The flow just can't come through

[Refrain 1] Fading fabrics of our lives Wawing fingers like sharp knives Holding on To what we can't follow As we focus on the flow

[Scream 2/Bridge] Walls closing in Six lines of symmetry Changing direction Pulsating affection

[Solo: Sanyi]

[Verse 2] Can't hold the progress The stream will only grow It's like the flood now I'm carried by the flow

[Chorus 2] Without a will to form it right Without it working like a glue The strength will offer nothing Flow just can't break through

[Refrain 2] Fading fabrics of our fate Weaving fingers tight and straight Holding on to what we know As we focus on the flow

<<JUST FOCUS>> <<JUST FOCUS>> <<JUST FOCUS>>

FIRST / NEXT

[pushing500]

The gang spent a comfortable first night camping out around the fire, resting up for a full day of building, hauling, and tree-cutting in the morning. Alistair was getting a head start on clearing a spot for our new house, since he doesn't need to sleep. We don't deserve him, he's such a hard worker <3 <3 <3

In the morning, we were surprised by a phytokin lady with paralytic abasia who crash-landed in the middle of our construction site. She's a polluxkin, and apparently can eat toxic wastepacks! I think someone like this will be very useful in a mechanitor run!

Also, Ivy's cat likes her, and that's as good an endorsement as you could hope for!

I thought of naming our home "New Sparks" or something, but then noticed it was Jut making the suggestion, so now we have a very elegant French name that Mechi does NOT approve of. Too bad, he'll have to get used to living in Château de Amitié (Friendship Castle) now.

Sci-fi “crash landed on an alien planet” AU. Zoeya was the astrobiologist on board the spaceship before it crashed, Rythian was the chemist. Lalna (engineer, power core maintenance) and Sjin (Sips’ lackey and cook) got into a tiff, resulting in Sjin sabotaging the power core to make it look like Lalna was bad at his job. The spaceship has a catastrophic failure and falls out of orbit. Everyone on board piles into three-person escape pods to hopefully survive on the surface of the planet they were orbiting.

I’ll make a post later with all the characters and their original roles on the ship!

Headshot WIPs of my boy Rook, a (hedge) knight of Cybertron who spends an awful lot of time out in the wildness of the place he and his fellow knights crashlanded.

Welp, guess almost the whole of @underrealm got the Transformers treatment xD I sure don't mind

[wormsinastarcoat]

Where are my fellow bitches who are a little too feral about obscure childhood reads

Like. I can't be the only one who read the pushcart war and mail-order wings and the reverse island of dr moreau book and that one about the cockroach boy who turned into a human

My wife's white whale is a book about a loon whose mom told them not to swim to the bottom of the lake and they did and found a lovecraftian eye and they DON'T REMEMBER HOW IT ENDS

[marblesalad]

okay this is my christmas gify. for me and me only

hes so mean. i think we have to kill this guy, crashlander /j/j/j

Screenshot Saturday #1!

It's the first Screenshot Saturday for Crashlander!! I've been having a ton of fun working on this game lately :]

This week I worked a lot on graphics, like the main menu I posted earlier, and some new sprites!

First was replacing the old player sprite (left) with a new, slightly larger one (right) - I want to start replacing asset pack resources with things I made and it's always a nice break from coding for a bit.

I also worked on the first iteration of the Phytokin, the plant-like aliens that inhabit the world you crash on! Love the little guys. I think it would be fun to make them different based on the surrounding biome's foliage a little further down the line.

Also, dialogue system! It uses the wonderful Dialogic plugin to do all the heavy lifting, and on the back end I can assign either a full Dialogic timeline or I can just throw some stuff in a string array if I just want something quick for various townies.

Finally, I implemented the beginnings of the attack system as well as status effects, which lets you attack, die...

... And kill things, if you really want to. You monster.

Overall, lots of progress this week!! Hoping to continue fleshing out inventory and start on the building system this week :]

Anakin creates his own compliment words and he can get REALLY creative with them especially when they're directed to Ahsoka's partners (kinda turning them into insults).

Hey, uh, what's your favourite war crime? For research purposes...

Ava glares at the juts of Lilith’s cheekbones. She can tell from the sharp stoniness of them Lilith’s not listening to a word she’s saying. It’s this back and forth that usually ends in hours of petty silence away from each other. Ava will say no, Lilith will tower over her and insist. Lilith will grit her jaw and rip her argument to shreds and Ava will find it begrudgingly hot. 

It’s the only thing they talk about between keeping the space station afloat with life. It’s easy to get lost in the labor of doing the work of what would be fit for a team of 5 but Ava knows they cannot shake the hole that stares back. 

It’s the strange case that drew them here first, a distress signal pinging repeatedly from the bottomless pit and an old recording of 2 fuzzy figures lurking on the other end. There are records of people before them in the current station just adjacent to the pit but never any more evidence of what lies below. There is an elevator that connects to what Ava hopes is the other station but can only be accessed from inside the station they’re in. It looks well used enough to convince her it’s sturdy enough to survive at least two trips. 

Lilith steps closer, close enough to touch her and Ava isn’t ready for that. “I’m not going down there Lil, you’ve seen the reports, people who come here don’t come back and I’m starting to get why.” 

Lilith’s eyes flash with a sliver of something volatile before Ava can take it back, the mistake digs in her throat but she stands up, turning around to look at the old recording once again. The screen has a crack in it that distorts part of the footage but it's clear that there's proof that life has made it down there. It's a jumbled 6 second clip that jumps around, almost unreadable but Ava has a feeling she cannot keep running away. 

Ava can't take her eyes off the clip, replaying it frantically over and over in her mind as a feeling she doesn't want to name wells up inside her. Even if they did go down, Ava would have to go alone because of the Halo. Its faint glow would be more beneficial than risking any energy input for light. 

Lilith is burning behind her no doubt a couple sentences away from strangling her. Ava knows her fingers are twitching. That’s just who Lilith is, she looks out for Ava in an angry way. 

“Ava,” She puffs, Ava can see it in her head, Lilith loosening the lock in her jaw with a wisp of breath snaking between her teeth. She thinks if Lilith wasn’t always knocking her around she’d pick up smoking. But she supposes smoking would detract from the heated sex they always find themselves in. 

There’s a shuffle behind her but Ava is too cowardly to turn around, not quite ready for another argument or maybe something worse. Ava wonders if today’s the day where one of them crosses the line. 

“We don’t know anything, people have accidents or get lost. There's nothing more to it.” Lilith slows down her syllables sounding like a stranger, “We have an ancient artifact that enhances your physicality, there's nothing to be afraid of.” 

Ava doesn’t like it, how dejected Lilith sounds, it’s wrong. It makes her feel wild, she pushes, falling into what they know best, “Maybe for your physique,” Ava swallows heavily the words tumbling out of her mouth searing, “but I'm the crippled one here remember? The Halo gets me to what you would consider your peak physique." She can feel tears of frustrations lining her eyes and she squints angrily at the footage. She brings her knees up to her chest hoping she hadn’t bled too raw for Lilith to notice. 

She knows she hasn’t succeeded, the Halo’s always been a sore spot for both of them. It’s a coin toss, the Halo which gives her strength but is ultimately unstable. The power output is too random and unreliable. It's not sustainable for her in the long run. She is nothing if not at the mercy of a crusty old metal that decides if she can move her fingers or bench five times Lilith’s weight. 

She sulks hoping Lilith will do what they do best. It’s quiet behind her and in her embarrassed tear stricken haze she’s sure that Lilith has fled, parallel to the line that they both don’t dare to cross. 

Ava tucks her head into her arms, her shoulders peeking over her ears and she’s resigned to accepting this endless back and forth for forever. 

She’s musing the list of chores she can do to avoid Lilith when her chair is swiveled backwards to face her. Lilith’s fingers stray far from any part of Ava but she bends to her height kneeling against the cold tiled floor. From this angle her cheekbones are soft, a tangible thing that Ava can’t look at. There’s a vulnerability that clings to Lilith; it feels wrong to look at her so bare that Ava swallows. But no matter how far she’s strayed from her she always ends up at the beginning. 

Lilith watches her, before grabbing the arm of the chair stilling Ava’s squirming. Even in the hard lines of her eyebrows, (the ones that knit together at Ava’s insistence to look anywhere but her,) there’s a softness in her pupils, the deepest part of her eyes that Ava has to really look to find. 

Lilith doesn’t grab any part of her and Ava thinks her body would be less aware of it if Lilith just fucking touched her like a normal fucking person. 

“Ava,” Lilith swallows, she looks crumpled, “We cannot keep running. Eventually there will be nowhere else to go, and then what? I just watch you wither away for the rest of my life? Watch you waste away and think 'well we did the best we could'?” It squeezes out of Lilith like a dirty secret, a shame that has festered inside of her. 

It almost makes her feel wrong but Ava can feel the chair shaking, Ava can feel Lilith is shaking. Somewhere along the way Lilith has grazed her knee but Ava doesn’t register it the way it kills Lilith to confess. 

 “I need you.”

The trend with racebent casting these days seems to be that you can diversify the supporting cast but the mc still has to be the world's specialest little white boy/white girl but I'm a few chapters into Uglies and the feature Tally bemoans most frequently as not aligning with societal beauty standards is her hair texture, so if anything I think they should've cast a Black girl.
