#Evil Licorice

[retronator]

When Evil Licorice approached me to try out their new game Retro Gadgets, how could I refuse something that literally has my name in it!?!

It’s much like the fantasy console PICO-8 where you draw in a built-in sprite editor and write Lua code to make your own old-school-looking games. Except now you also get to design the hardware itself and choose your own specs! Want an egg-shaped tamagotchi? No problem. Remake your favorite calculator? You betcha. Use an LED matrix for playing a game of snake? In fact, I did all these when they commissioned me to create a few gadgets to show in their announcement trailer.

I love the skeuomorphic UI experience of it, tinkering at your workbench rendered in lovely pixel art. It’s just so cozy and if you put some vaporwave music to make retro gadgets to in the background, well, then you’d be living my life over the last few weekends and evenings, drawing dog sprites and trying to figure out the best way to calculate mathematical expressions in my WIP graphic calculator.

Unfortunately, you can’t get your hands on it just yet. The game’s demo will come out as part of Steam Next Fest on October 3rd so make sure to add it to your wishlist till then.

Silly Funny Idea

After Dark Enchantress turns back to the side of good/becomes White Lily again, she has to deal with the fact that she has become a maternal figure to the Cookies of Darkness. So we’ve got an ex-villainess trying desperately to help her kids adjust to the fact that ‘no, we aren’t doing evil things anymore we are doing nice things’ and they just...aren’t doing it. Pomegranate is still 100% on the idea that this is all within DE/Lily’s plan to conquer the world, Red Velvet fucking launches anyone who DARES look at the cakes wrong, Licorice is still trying to prove that he’s an ‘asset to the dark’ and causes havoc, Poison Mushroom is on board with doing good...but they literally have no idea what the fuck that means so they just cause shroomie shenanigans. The other Ancients do their best to help, but it’s kinda hard when Pomegranate keeps trying to fucking kill them and Licorice’s very existence is like an existential crisis for Cacao. Dark Choco pops in to vibe every now and then, mostly just wanting to see how poorly everything is going and thriving in the fact that he got out of this bullshit when he did.

clover but…… Evil? uh yea idk

idk why but…. thinking abt an au where clover is just. Evil

idk if it’ll be an alternate timeline from the licocule au but either way I still wanna incorporate cloverice/liclover in it somehow lol

basically the key factors are that:

-he has the same demeanor as our usual clover but more unhinged

-headcanon territory but maybe his relations with white lily being his ancestor and her becoming dark enchantress (and her motivations) might have to do with why he might be evil in this au, also I just realized this kinda makes red velvet and clover distant siblings, I feel like they’d bond over similar motivations

-unsure about this but I think it’d be cool if clover just worked as an assassin kinda? for lico? idk yet

-his eyes would turn scarlet like his ancestor’s whenever his evil senses arise

-his powers would be twisted upside down, so instead of using his music magic to heal, he would use it to poison others or perhaps rot his victims even, making them decay like plants would (I think he could still use the healing aspect for himself and/or licorice or others he’d side with, speaking of which)

-I’m kinda having trouble with deciding if he should work for dark enchantress enough despite having bonds with red velvet and licorice lol

-his songs and stories that he would tell would be “omens of [his victims’] demise” (@5ome-7ype-0f-5hapeshifter)

-he could also use the forest animals do his evil biddings I suppose? maybe make them go Crazy go Stupid, like haha you thought they were peaceful Nope! 😁

-other ideas suggested by @5ome-7ype-0f-5hapeshifter:

-petrifying someone into wood

-vines used to drag ppl into the earth & stuff

-bad luck spells (lol imagine if he says “bad luck!” instead of “good luck!” whenever he uses his skill in battle)

sooo yea let me know what you guys think and/or if you’re interested, I’m curious to see what people could add to this or suggest if I ever wanna do more with it in the future lol
