Chapter 1 - Moon 3 - Last of Leaf-Bare

Its early morning when Charkit and Galekit go walking together. The mist of dawn clinging to their fur as they paw through the melting snow.

"Galekit, I think in a normal clan you would be Galepaw by now," Charkit's breath turned to steam as she spoke, quietly bringing up the topic.

"I guess you're right, I'm six moons old, and I'm a bit bigger now too." Galekit or maybe Galepaw now, answered.

"Well let's just call you Galepaw," Charkit smiled slightly.

After walking in silence for a bit, taking in the scenery and looking for easy catches, Charkit spoke again.

"Galepaw?"

"Yeah?"

"You're so good with herbs and stories. I think you should be our medicine cat," Charkit smiled.

"Me?" Galepaw looked at Charkit, stunned.

"You!"

"What? It can't be me, I don't have a mentor, and I'm not that good with herbs." Galepaw looked down at his paws making prints in the snow.

"Neither of us will have mentors, and I think you are better suited to be a medicine cat. You already know some herbs like the thyme you brought me. Also, you are great at telling stories, which I think is good for a medicine cat. And, you're slightly older." Charkit looked ahead into the trees, making one point after another.

"Okay. I'll do it. We need one badly anyway." Galepaw looked straight ahead into the trees.

"I'm going to go think, I'll see you back at camp." Galepaw excused himself, trotting off into the pine forest.

More writing below the cut...

In the forest Galepaw's mind spun with questions and possibilities. How am I going to learn about healing without a mentor? What if Charkit gets sick and I mess up? I don't know any of the clan stories! Isn't the medicine cat supposed to be able to talk to Starclan about things like this?

Galepaw stopped walking and sat by a puddle of melted snow. The sun had risen to the middle of the sky, glinting off the water. I'll just have to figure it out on my own.

Galepaw's eyes glinted emerald green in the water, and his cream-toned fur seemed to turn a shade of rust. He was staring down at his brother Kestralpaw's reflection-- a working of Starclan. A warm feeling overcame Galepaw in the midst of Leaf-Bare.

"You are not alone," Kestralpaw's voice whispered on the wind.

Kestralpaw had been a medicine cat apprentice too, and though he never completed his training, Galepaw had looked up to him. Two thoughts hit Galepaw at once. He thought about how Kestralpaw's presence confirmed that he was, in fact, dead, killed by the wolves that night. He also thought about how grateful he was that Kestralpaw was here, proving that Galepaw did have some kind of connection to Starclan. He wasn't alone.

Later that night Charkit snuggled up against Galepaw before sleep. Thanking him for becoming their medicine cat. Galepaw replied that it was just the practical thing to do. After that day, Galepaw began training himself about the ways of herbs. Watching the animals of the area interact with each plant. He would take a plant he saw the injured mouse rub against and smear it on his paws, leaving a print on the aspen above the burrows. This way he could remember the smell of what healed the mouse's scratch. On the other hand, one day he saw a skunk eating red berries and then later stumbled upon the skunk's body. He crushed the berries and marked the aspen tree with an "X" below the red print. Maybe he could figure this out after all.

OH MY GOD I CAN FINALY POST UNAMUSED LEANDER!!!

[dudeimintomonsterprom]

Hey guys! I know it's a weird post to be making out of the blue but something about the new year made me want to clean up and finally post the mod I started to create in either 2019 or 2020.

Five years later and I for one cannot believe it's finally here, an Oz centric storyline. It takes place over four events, with a new ending. I'll post an event guide if anyone wants it :p

Hey there, samurai! Have you been holding off on playing SMT IV? Do you want to experience SMT IV in higher resolution to better appreciate the wonderful art and intricate + detailed worldbuilding within this game? Well, look no further! The SMT IV HD Textures Mod is in the works!🎉 ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ 【⭐What is the SMT IV HD Textures Mod?⭐】

This is a mod made for the sole purpose of completely "remastering" SMT IV's in-game textures by hand, which includes: the UI + text, backgrounds, character portraits and other visual assets by manually recreating them in higher resolution.

By applying this mod, anybody can experience the stunning HQ detail originally present within the game that was forever lost within the game's original stunted 244p quality. 【⭐How do you manually recreate smaller detailed assets like the Character Portraits?⭐】

In contrast to other HD Mods or Remakes out there using impractical methods to "upscale" character images, our team is dedicated to redrawing the original crunchy ~300px Character Portrait sprites within the game into higher resolution by hand ourselves (using the ~7000px Key Art as a base). And sometimes, we have to redraw certain sprites entirely from scratch!

➡️As one of the artists part of the team, I'm very passionate about getting those iconic "Doi style" elements that are present throughout his SMTIV art. Personally speaking, it's an honor and a learning experience to be a part of this project in being able to faithfully recreate his work with as much respect and care as possible. That being said: We're all basically doing the work that an entire dedicated team within a company would usually do, out of love for this game! And because we want to provide something meaningful for the megaten fandom, too. If you're interested, stay tuned for more information! And don't hesitate to spread the word, too! ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ 【Feel free to follow the staff linked below for any updates on twitter!】 Please give lots of love to the staff! Your interest and commentary means a lot to our humble team + helps motivate us to keep going!💪 ⭐HD UI Redesign, HD Demon Scans and more⭐: 👾Vesk ⭐HD Character Portrait + HD Sprite Redraw Artists⭐: 👾Lamprey 👾Reyn - PS: I'll be posting some of my progress here on tumblr too! ➡️Twitter log of sprites I've finished so far + Works in Progress ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ 【Project promotional banner above and character portrait art credit within this entire post + the banner goes to myself (@megidoreyn on twitter and here on tumblr!)】

Rose Lalonde Sprites & Edits

Use these for whatever you want, just give credit if you use these for anything!

[boilercity]

Currently thinking about the differences between the various Anton talksprites. The new one is a whole different thing, but I didn't even realize they changed his hat and eyebrows between the other two until I actually put them side by side. Huh.

[clumsypuppy]

oh yea.. its all coming together

[chibishortdev]

Mapping is pretty tedious… I’ve made a little floor plan to make it a bit easier, but it’s far from final. Likely will have some downsizing done to it.

Having this in the program itself is fun because I can set the starting point in this at any time and test how nicely each of these rooms flow together. It’s also pretty surreal since it’s all placeholder tiles, smaller scale, and no separation between rooms.

Hmm I already see a couple things I want to change about it—

✨Icicle Yetti Cookie❄️

I got bored so here's the lil buddy! Ive been seeing a lot on them, both good and bad receptions, so what's my opinion?

I think they're really cute, but they need more details, I'm not saying the character needs to change but I think they'd get a far better reception if they were more detailed or had more accessories, it feels a little bland for a special cookie.

While snapdragon was a baby, and had more reason/made more sense to be less detailed, I think since they're supposed to be older they should have a more complex design

Just a bit more detail and contrasting colors would've saved this design

I'm trying to update the Creativity sprite :]

[thekenikaridevblog]

Finally I get to use this gif properly

Anyways! Like before, this progression chart post thing will be exclusively of day 3, the day before the trial, and that's where all my dev efforts will be directed towards. The full chapter 1 is more than half finished, now we just need the final home stretch and you'll finally be able to see this gay tragedy I've been cooking
