karma decided to combine a couple of games i've played and liked in the past year as a surprise holiday/birthday treat for me and drew ysmè from soul of sovereignty as a beastieball coach (!)

they don't have an account on this site anymore, but you can see all their most recent work on their personal website's art gallery, which may be found here, and their mastodon, which may be found here.

I just played through essentially all of what was available in the playtest, and as someone who IMMEDIATELY loved Collarva (which I believe you said you worked on?) on sight in both moves and visual design (I LOVE that wiped pose out in the field of pulling down their silk hoodie, and using hunker/grit is just kind of insane tbh) I'm curious what parts exactly you worked on (I don't even know if you got to work on its not-evolutions [metamorphs?] tbh) Also, any favorite beasties of yours that were in the Playtest?

I did the whole metamorph line! There was a while in development where we could pitch beasties that matched roles we were looking to fill, rather than what we do otherwise where we turn an extant concept (created by Greg or Alexis) into a design. The ones from the pitching period often had the same artist throughout, though I'd say even with the concept beasties it often worked out that way!

(Not to mention we often gave feedback to one another in the design process! Nobody is working entirely alone.)

I pitched these all at once!

We weren't super satisfied with the face of Collarva so I did a few iterative takes on new directions we could take them. As you might tell we wound up going for something around B!

With Collarva->Plumask they were looking for an early game lepidopteran (butterfly/moth) and I'm the go-to bug girl. There are a lot of moths and butterflies in monster games (bugs are the origins of the genre nobody is surprised) and I wanted to represent a type of moth that hadn't gotten much love yet. Plume moths are dusty looking creatures that don't look like they should be able to fly at a glance, it pulled me towards making something eerie and ghostly!

I don't want to color anyone's read of the line too much, but my general overarching theme was about picking up various personas/behaviors/aspects like a mossy rock until you find yourself as an adult and shed what you don't need. Both Axolati and Collarva are pulling from my teenage theatre kid life, uhuhu.

You can actually see the concept art for most beasties in the Beastiepedia under Morphology->Visual Studies. It even lists concept artists and sprite artists! (Research is concept/pose work and Videography refers to their in-game sprite and animation based off those poses)

In terms of mechanics/design we often don't have too much direct say. Since the color palette is often relevant we typically know what types of moves they'll specialize in. In my experience I'll pitch a concept and then give a narrative/emotional description that they use to inform stats/moves/etc. There are maybe one or two times where I lent a hand with stats/moves but I don't have a ton of time to play the game outside of work so I was always a bit too behind on the meta to contribute much, personally.

Yueffowl and Collarva are both favorites of mine! There are three or four beasties/beastie lines that are my precious babies and they're both included. They're among the ones where I really felt the most like I was expressing myself in the design. They definitely feel like designs I'll be remembered for.

So... I may have accidentally informed a friend of mine (who is responsible for the Cassette Beasts competitive scene being as broken as it is) that Plumask compresses every role that the team they're making is looking for (Spirit bulk, Dramatic Exit access, trait that punishes Block). I'm sorry in advanced, Bring The Heat participants.

"i just unlocked the character named Aria and OH GOD" is a relatable crypt experience... like you described it perfectly. it's the same feeling as trying to beat farewell immediately after finishing core...

i love both these games so much (and i really love all your celeste art!)

Thank you very much!!!🥹🙏💕 (and i'm drawing more Celeste art right now!👀)

It certainly feel like Farewell (especially the last room in Farewell)..which I don't think i will be able to finish any time soon...😭 (wish this game had Assist mode too....😂💦)

also love that Plumask pfp! hehe <3 that's my baby as well❤️..(or Jack's baby since it's purple💜)
