the thing is unhatched eggs being a kind of lootbox is an unintentional consequence of player behaviour. the value of a g1 is player constructed (their gameplay value is that you can breed them with any dragon, but players like the look of a dragon with no parents and no offspring on its profile), the value of a double and triple is player constructed (theyre valuable because theyre rare and easy to match, but its not particularly incentivized by the gameplay) and crucially, literally any combination of colours can be valuable to someone. by the raw gameplay any dragon is as valuable as any other dragon but we have constructed an economy that values certain dragons and now we have a gacha mechanic.

#dils declares #flight rising #i think about the gameplay mechanics vs player incentives all the time

Start - Previous - End!

Poof. And then. Nyoom!

She only meant to distract him. Smoke up the nose does the trick (plus dragon smoke stings, and stinks, extra due to the fluid that's used to create fire). Keiki's got a positive view on dragons; she's not about to be the dragon to blow that. pun intended

Rescue completed! :)

#Muppen draws #g/t #giant/tiny #giant merman #dark!au keiki #oc Keiki #A dragon's fire is a combination of biological and magical mechanisms :3 #When dragon parents tell their pups to not smoke; this is what they mean.#It smells a lot and will stink up a room for a long time #Meaning Keiki's gonna smell that for a while. xDDD #Dw he's still happy to see dragons; he just thinks of it as a defense mechanism. Which isn't wrong #Smoking is kinda embarrassing for adult dragons. xD #Also that wasn't a sneeze. It'd be more turbulent then. xD #Human got swapped to hands again mid-flight I was too lazy to draw it

*GUNDAMs your clones*

#Star Wars #TCW #Commander Cody #Captain Rex #GUNDAM #I started this in a GUNDAM-happy fervor last summer because I'd been rewatching Witch from Mercury with a couple friends #And had a long commute good for crossover brainstorming #The art got put on the shelf for other things but it's finally done!#For some bonus info:#(more of which is in my first reblog haha)#A bunch of CC-2224's main body bits are also detachable GUND-Bits #I haven't decided if ARC-7567 has any GUND-Bits but maybe the kama detaches to do... something. Shielding maybe.#But they deffo also both have beam swords (CCs get 1 ARCs get 2) hidden away somewhere #They require pilots but each GUNDAM (General Utility Neural-Directed Assault Machine) has an unusually advanced computer intelligence #Nobody's quite sure how Kamino produces them...#If I was cool I would've gotten creative with the blasters/bits and made the text more mechanical but it was not happening chief #Anyways enjoy!#ID in alt text #Edit: flipped one of the flight packs for better visual symmetry #Patchy Doodles

Two People Of the Midnight Sun guarding a snared hare against a juvenile sunsinger, a wolf sized mustelid that lives as an ambush predator and opportunistic scavenger in the arctic tundra and gets its name from the male's yowling calls during the springtime breeding season.

These people primarily manufacture small knives for skinning prey and bloodletting their host animals, and do not have weapons capable of dealing with large predators. Their primary defense in this situation is the tried and true predator mitigation strategy of puffing up and making a lot of noise. Like their caelin/delkhin relatives, polar caelin have gular sacs that amplify their calls, primarily used for long distance communication and song but also adequate for making a general cacophony.

This sunsinger physically outmatches its foes by a long shot, but is hesitant to get any closer to a pair of loud, unfamiliar, and seemingly fearless opponents, and quite frustrated about this whole situation. It will most likely walk away from this confrontation hungry rather than risk a physical altercation, particularly when reinforcements from these people’s clan hear all the yelling and come to dive bomb the shit out of it.

#Polar caelin are an entirely different species to the rest. In spite of their radically different morphology wrt wings caelin are a little #more closely related to delkhin than to these guys.#Caelin and polar caelin are not mechanically capable of breeding/laying each other's eggs and even if they were they would #only produce sterile young (while caelin and delkhin can produce fertile male hybrids and sterile females)#The range of polar caelin peoples is confined to the northern polar landmass and some of its islands because they aren't proficient #at gliding flight and can't disperse overseas. Whereas mainland caelin have populations everywhere including the arctic #The sunsinger is based off Ekorus #creatures #people of the midnight sun

‘who asked for this?..’

well you see, sometimes☝️people get ideas for things without being prompted. this is called ‘new idea’, ‘surprise’ or even ‘innovation’

#flight rising #i think the effects are cool and an interesting thing to explore #i also like that you can entirely ignore their existence #you can literally never interact with this should you wish to #are there qol updates due and necessary? yes #very #but im in full support of the dev team exploring new interesting mechanics and ideas outside of planned and expected updates #(breeds genes apparel and such)#its like uhhh…#you can have more of good familiar thing (regular updates)#but i think its important to explore what other good things there can be #even if the implementation isnt perfect or it doesnt work out at all #its called science and exploration!

Heya! I wasn't sure if this was a legal request since it wasnt listed in your bio, but it is an official httyd video game

I'd love to see the goofy guy Patch from dawn of new riders! Chimeragons really made one appearance, became way too op, and then disappeared into obscurity. But look at the guy...he so ugly and goofy I love him

Your art is gorgeous btw!

( @yuendelahoya )

So funny story. I watched a playthrough of this game when it first came out in 2019, and it's been on my wish list ever since (mostly because of the flight mechanics lol) And now that I found these asks in my inbox again, I checked the Nintendo Store just in case, and it had a 55% discount??? So I got the game and spent the last 2 days playing it and now I'm a changed man (as of posting this, the discount lasts for 2 more days!)

Dragon #125 - MLM Patch (and Scribbler)

I hope they're doing well, wherever they are...

More thoughts and spoilers for the game under the cut!

I made Patch MLM colored instead of some other random Chimeragon, because the game has shown us that he can change colors with every rebirth, which I think is pretty neat :) It also explains why neither Scribbler nor Eir recognize Patch, even after he grows to be a Broadwing and then a Titanwing- if he changes his colors every time he hatches again, then yeah, no wonder they believed there's more than one Chimeragon

I knew what the big twist was going to be at the end because of the playthrough, but MAN does this game not hold its punches. The writers really asked "How can we elevate the Best Friends Forever thing to a whole new level?" and then made Scribbler witness the death and rebirth of his best friend, and now I have to draw these guys with literal tears in my eyes 👍

The sentiment that their friendship literally transcends life and death is so meaningful to me. Patch will continue to die and resurrect, and Scribbler will be there every time to welcome him and forge their bond all over again. The mystery of Scribbler's past, his involvement with Grimmel, and the open ending leave so much room for speculation and theorizing and it's just so incredibly up my alley, it's like it was made in a lab for me lol

This game ended up being a lot darker than I was expecting, but it was honestly so refreshing. The mechanics are simple enough for younger kids to learn, and the artstyle is very evidently targeted at kids as well, but some of the dialogue and the entire theme of death and inevitable loss feels surprisingly mature in contrast. They make you go to Vanaheim and hold a burial for Patch before he resurrects, literally what other kids' game does that?? /pos

Anyways play this game, it's a short and sweet little self-contained adventure, which accomplishes the one task it set out to accomplish: making me cry, specifically

#asks #httyd #how to train your dragon #httyd fanart #dragon request #thank you for the request! <3 #httyd chimeragon #dragons: dawn of new riders #dragon 124 #httyd patch #httyd scribbler #and yes #the flight mechanics are indeed pretty cool

random new npc idea is a gamemaster where they are the ones to reside over the various "minigames" throughout the tcwg adventures (puzzles, the underground ring, racing, etc)
