spamton makes me so happy <3

[unikhroma]

being able to talk to your friends about weird stuff is awesome

[unikhroma]

the struggle of knowing a pokemon on your team isn't very good competitive-wise but you love them so much that you can't find it in your heart to replace them

some lore for how horse and unicorn furries differ in my headworld

i've actually been meaning to make a comparison thingy like this for years but i never got around to it till now

[unikhroma]

i know mega evolution is the thing that everyone wishes would cross over into games past the gen it was introduced in but for me what i love the most with pokemon isn't exactly the battling aspect but being able to treat them like your companions

so what i wish crossed over into more gens isn't necessarily a specific thing (though i think pokeathlon is by far the best version of this), but the ability to have your pokemon participate in activities outside of battling. not talking about interacting with them, but having them do other stuff

contests just don't do it for me i gotta be honest; there's something hollow and tedious about them. it being tied to the pokemon's moves makes it really inconvenient to have your pokemon participate in them while also keeping them fit for whatever battling stuff you're having them do

even though i love the pokemon musicals from gen 5, they weren't very engaging. pokestar studios is a lot better and is a decent example of what i'm talking about even though it involves battling, but it does get incredibly difficult at a certain point. poke pelago.. idk it's kinda just a resource farm more than something your pokemon are actually doing

it looks like past that, the gimmicks have all been directly about battling. i really wish they had more ideas for other activities. but they kinda handicapped themselves with having everything be 3D, thus they can't have the same kind of variety that gen 4 and 5 had by using sprites that can still convincingly portray actions without having to make additional assets for them

the scene that i'm doublechecking for spamton house rn was written more than a year ago and once again it's crazy thinking that i've worked on this project for that long

i'm only halfway done with it

[unikhroma]

not beating yourself up for everything is really hard ngl

it's hard to treat yourself with the same grace that you give others when you think you don't deserve it. but i'm trying to unlearn that

[unikhroma]

i like the guy from the . you know thr one

he's so cute.. small man. small man. pick him up and spin him around gay bowser style

[unikhroma]

here's something for the 3rd anniversary of deltarune ch2! i've made a bunch of close friends through our mutual love for swatchton, so i had to draw these two for this <3 it ended up being more of a personal piece than first intended ..

[unikhroma]

been asleep practically all day and i feel like a crumpled paper

btw every time i remember something about the unused stuff in the UTDR newsletter i get the impulse to start flapping my hands; i'm still so psyched about all of that

[unikhroma]

earlier today i was thinking about how awful life is and how there's not much to live for and i am reminded that it's the things you're passionate about that are worth living for the most out of anything

[unikhroma]

(source, please listen to the tracks here they're so cool!!!!)

the fact that the NEO boss in deltarune wasn't always supposed to have to do with spamton is driving me fucking bonkers

call me crazy but i think it's lending more credence to my theory with spamton_house.ogg where you were originally supposed to explore his own house, and that the basement in this chapter wasn't always the mansion's basement and was his instead. always good to remind that the filename for the mansion's basement is "spamton_basement" instead of "mansion_basement" (the other mansion tracks have mansion as their prefix)

toby also starts the page that these are from with "creating music first can be a useful way to figure out the identity and tone of a boss or scene." so it's more hard to ignore the music filenames with that in mind now

[unikhroma]

ok i don't know how obvious this has been but unused stuff in video games is a HUGE special interest of mine and the new UTDR newsletter is like the best thing on the planet rn cause of this AAUWEHUWEHGUERHGUERHGUERHG

the MUSIC the CONCEPT ART the EEEEEEE

WHO IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[unikhroma]

buddy. that's what life feels like for me

(new UTDR newsletter's out)

SPAMTON HOUSE: The Halls

entry 7: now safe from spamton’s aggression, miles wanders the queen’s mansion. as they do, they learn more about the world they’ve fallen into.

🞀 previous entry || first entry || next entry 🞂 (coming later)

credits and additional info below:

you can find the credits along with a Q&A here. they’ll be updated as necessary.

another one that took a while. you guys on here know that i've been suffering the past months and as such it took me a while to make this. i appreciate everyone who's following this series and anyone who's left a nice comment on any of the entries

i really want to complete this project and show the story i've come up with. maybe just so i can assure myself that it's possible, that i can do something like that. this series is already very important to me in its incomplete state so i would love to see it through. again, thank you to all who are watching!

the next entry shouldn't take that long to do (hopefully). the one after that though.. it's one that requires careful environmental design so it's gonna take me a bit ...

There's still some summer left! 🏖️🦊🎇

this AU is inspired by an unused file in deltarune chapter 2 that suggests that spamton may have had a house at some point in development!

technically this is part of a larger AU where there are deviations from the canon before the story of chapter 2 and past a certain point in the timeline. but, for the sake of SEO and not having to explain my spamton's complicated lore this is being referred to as an AU on its own.

this was designed as a game, but i've been thinking about it, and it will likely have to be a video series instead. it's mainly because i don't think i can really justify the amount of time that would go into it being an actual game, as much as i'd like it to be. i also had an original game i was diligently working on before ch2 came out and it would be nice to make that one happen
