Spoilers for act 3 just in case!!!

Something my idiot brain didn't notice earlier is that botopia cards are floppy disks (I knew that part at least) that PULL OUT to make the cards a full card.. Found this out with their structure whilst drawing em lol

Inscryption OC based on bounty hunters from act 3

His name is Tom Delizer!! Every time Tom meets a challenger, his personality changes. There are a lot of ZIP files loaded into it, they didn’t even really try to make it normal, because it was just another impulsive order from P03. The Photographer didn't care how well this bot was made, he just made an order and released this unstable robot into Botopia

Yep, I ship Librarian and Tom, any problems? 🤨

🐠🐠🐠

🐠🐠🐠

This is Tom and my friend OC!! Little robot ass, I love their duet

And humanization :PP

[littlest-bugz]

Why do people draw p03 so cunty in fanart. Like why does the robot have to be serving when he should be serving a life sentence to stoat-hood

[saturnz-skiez]

Thinking about characters with thematic parallels like wow are you guys just obsessed with each other why does every one of your traits mirror the others and why does every little thing about you share something with some part on the other side. That’s really gay. And why r u sharing leitmotifs… what’s up with that.

Hey! You’re that guy who made that Botopia thing, right? I thought it was pretty cool, though getting rid of cards in my deck was a bit hard imo.

"I did. It was all me. Also, you deserved it. That's what happens when you have a bad deck. Maybe get a better one and I might not. Or I will to piss you off."

i keep playing through inscryption i’ve probably beaten it like ten times since i got it a few months ago because the sound design is just so good and the gameplay feels so nice in my brain and i love that it’s a little self-contained arg like i don’t even care about the story necessarily i just think the mechanics and execution are so so well done!!!!!!!!

[cathackz]

[kitsuneofkanji13]

I'm working on a gamejam for inscryption and these are my backgrounds so far for botopia.

[your-stoat-stands-unopposed]

funny thing that happened while playing inscryption last night: i kept dying in botopia, circling back around, getting my robobucks, dying, circling back around, getting my robobucks, dying, so on so forth. p03 just kept robbing me for the same $25 over and over again. hope he feels proud of himself

[navynew]

some more doodles (this design of the archivist is more "correct" i think bc in-game in botopia she actually has both her arms and legs.... and i only noticed that today...)

i LOVE drawing random characters playing inscryption

[longelk]

fuck p03 i just remembered he didnt let melter exist anywhere in botopia. screw you buddy

[determunition]

Hey just wondering, what do you think about James Cobb and is he in your au?

james cobb is a very funny character to me, and i'm not sure where i'm going to slot him in in OFH but he's probably going to make an indirect cameo in conversation at some point

i haven't the opportunity to sketch him up at the moment, but for now i'll say that he is in the AU; he was one of magnificus's students when mag was still teaching art at a university, and one of his most obsessive fans. he eventually was expelled from the university, probably due to some kind of extremely indecent performance art or smth, and went on to switch careers...to an engineer at botopia labs! probably somewhere towards the end of poe's career, like uhhh early 2000's or something. because he was still no less of a weird guy poe had a hard time figuring out what to really do with him, but he has his place in the factory now, and still works there after poe's retirement

if he's going to come up at all in the fic it'll either be one of the students mentioning him, or poe and mag having a convo about the weirdest people they've come upon in their careers and realizing that they're both talking about the same weird guy lmao

[scrybe-of-tech-p03]

Why do you like cowboys so much? I mean, the Bounty hunters don't really fit into the botopia campaign, it's more technological then western. So you must really like cowboys to still put them in. Why?

Don't fit? Of course they fit.

It's a mixture of genres! Plus it's my game.

Besides, Botopia isn't an easy place to live. It's a "look out for number one" kind of thing. Of course someone is going to want you dead eventually.

.... Liking it has nothing to do with it.

[khittyhawk]

I wonder what Botopia would be like if P03 had the GMing skills of Leshy.

[internetskiff]

You ever think about the situation P03's stuck in post-deletion?

Apart from Lonely Wizard (if him dancing in the end credits is meant to imply he survived deletion), it's basically the only entity to survive Inscryption's deletion. It has NO game to come back to, and there's NO way the gameworks would re-assign it elsewhere after it basically released Inscryption out into the wild. Do you think S@do took it with her after she shot Luke dead and, more than likely, had his whole home searched? Do you think she'd see it as a potential equal? Both are basically entities that have no real game they belong in anymore, and both are more than capable of bending the rules of their environment to their will. Both are cunning and enjoy toying with both Players and NPCs alike whenever they get the chance. I definitely think S@do would be more than happy to work together with it, but I do think P03 would be off-put by her constant cheerful demeanor - it would probably remind it of G0lly.

In the Canon sense, I think P03's fate could play out in one of three ways:

1) If it went unnoticed by S@do, it's basically left to wander the 'net in this.. reduced stoat form, I suppose. I do think it's smart enough to be able to evade Gamefuna and remain under the radar, but I think it'd eventually just end up gravitating back towards the company sooner or later. It's main goal was always to become hegemon of Inscryption so it had challengers that would play it's game, so I have a feeling going without interaction too long would simply drive it nuts. I mean - it's worked so hard balancing the mechanics of Botopia, creating "OP cards", setting up the uberbots.. And now it's all gone. I have a feeling eventually it would either try forcing itself into other games like S@do does or simply return to Gamefuna and either get reassigned, imprisoned or wiped from the picture entirely.

2) If S@do isn't under Lou Natas' employ and is instead simply possessing a Gamefuna employee to achieve a goal of her own, I do think S@do would try coercing it into assisting her. Or perhaps simply find out what it knows. There's potential either way - it would be interesting to have the two control freaks going against eachother (I think P03 would eventually break in this scenario) or unify forces to sow whatever chaos she has in mind.

3) If S@do is under Lou Natas' employ, I do think she'd bring it to his attention, but depending on whether or not it has her favor (which I do think it would, I don't think we ever saw S@do express "hatred" towards anyone, and an entity created simply to cause chaos would probably only be overjoyed to meet someone as disruptive and plotting as P03), I think she might be able to pull some strings - perhaps P03 would be in a similar situation as her, assigned a human host (though it would probably find this disgusting) and sent out to do Gamefuna's dirty work. It probably wouldn't mind killing people - after all, it literally encouraged it's own subordinates to throw themselves onto the production line if it improves the card output, not to mention what it's done with James Cobb.

In any case, I do believe P03 would end up as a bit of a "loose cannon" in Gamefuna's eyes. It would probably end up causing quite a few problems for them.

Can't wait for the new DMG-verse buddy cop movie starring two Gamefuna employees possessed by P03 and S@do where they just go around assassinating people Lou Natas doesn't like.
