#skycross // 23. MEMORIES

"It's you and me until the end, partner."
(and yet the end came all too soon—)

welcome back to pining central everyone.

WOMEN & NON-BINARY GAME DEVS!
As part of my PhD, I will be looking to interview lots of game devs and I want to talk to YOU!

If you are a woman and/or non-binary game dev, or know of anyone & would be willing to have a chat about your work and yourself, please reach out!

#skycross Day 23 - Memories

"L... Lux... ? D... Dad... ? D... Dad... !"
"I'm here Violet ! I'm here..."
"I... I..."

She stumbled on her words, again and again. She felt like she couldn't breathe, it was too overwhelming... Everything came back, all at once...

"I remember..."

I've finished writing out the basic plan! I'm feeling so giddy, ahahaha--

Character count: 40 (out of 49 total skycross characters... at least, at the time of posting this...)

NPC count: 2 (just for fun)

Am I gonna regret this? Let's not think about that for now. 😌

Oh. The final set of lyrics has a total of... 13 syllables.

*chuckles*

Excellent.

#skycross Day 22 - Tomorrow & A Bright Future

Lux looked at his screens, puzzled...

"Welcome back, Xoxo !"
Ael smiled at her patient.

"That's our call Violet !"
She took Eric's hand, as they fleed.

"I guess we'll prepare for our second act ~"
Zagi smirked from the shadows.

23 MEMORIES

『Surely, if there is some hope in this world, it's...』

Back then, they had no reason left to live for, only a desire for everything to return to nothingness remained.

But then that person came and gave them something else that kept them going for all those years.

A digital painting featuring the city-state of Ul'dah in Final Fantasy XIV. A dome-shaped citadel rests at the focal point, with towering fortifications and protective outer walls in the foreground. There also appears to be a sandstorm blowing over the city due to the haze of sepia in the desert atmosphere.

Thank you for the update, Inoki!! I figured there were still more ending posts to be made in the coming days (...and I still need to catch up), so I'm looking forward to the upcoming thread!!

I'll try to brainstorm a bunch when the time comes 😤

For now, please be sure to rest up...!!! 💪✨

(OC) Erric and Izzy bantering while in the middle of training

After the situation calmed down at the ark, Erric decided to learn engineering from Izzy; ultimately making it his dream to surpass her.

It was another day filled with banters on NEO workshop. New customer came in, putting that banter to a pause.

#skycross
Day 22 :Tomorrow + Event 2

Its the usual day filled with banters at NEO...

Post-event update and event 2 hooks on thread.

Oh yeah, status update!

I've finished thumbnailing 50 seconds now...! That's approximately 1/3 of the song~ ♪

<--- guy that seems to have forgotten that they'll need to turn said thumbnails into keyframes later down the line

There's HOW MANY ENDINGS??? 😱

...Well, I have three four-beat instrumental breaks, so that's... that's only twelve... 🧍

OH WAIT THERE'S ONE SECTION I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IDEAS FOR. HMMMMM MAYBE...

BLESS YOU INOKI AND ALL THE FOLKS WHO ADDED TO THE MADNESS OF THIS ROUND ♥♥♥

I like (read: am terrified by) how there's 13 possible endings... with the final one being the most "NANI?!" bad end. Fitting of an unlucky number~

I'm a happy end truther, but the other options are super intriguing... 💪😤

#skycross Day 21 - Digital + Conclusion (part 1)

Sky : "And... sent !"
Violet : "Now what... ?"
Lux : "Now, we wait, and see..."

The group, finally reunited, stood on the balcony, to watch over the city.... And then...

maybe it's too soon for a reveal, but Alphard was always meant to be a last boss type of character, so--

Day 21: Digital [off-event]

At a digital world of gaming, you can basically do absurd things, even play the hero if it strikes your fancy.
That kind of possibility is what draws Erric to video games... Well, other than aesthetic and fashion.

PLEASE DO NOT USE OR REUPLOAD MY WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION

I'm having fun doodling scuffed stick figures to represent people's OCs~

My current favourite part so far is coming up with scene transitions, though. Chaining 13 scenes together this way makes me feel slightly insane (in a good way).

Thumbnailing is so easy... Why didn't I think of doing it earlier... 😭 <--- guy that got stuck two seconds into animating, and then managed to thumbnail ~25 seconds of the song last night

"Lux... ?!"
"Yeah. I did it Ichiro. We're in."

I’m running an unofficial survey to better understand the FFXIV playerbase in the Philippines. There’s no official data on how many of us there are, so I’m trying to map it out.

If you’ve played FFXIV in the PH, I’d really appreciate your response!

#skycross DAY 19 - Alone

Waking up from living an old nightmare again, Mezaloka feels the weight of loneliness on her.

[Going a bit more light today, it's been nice to take a day of rest]
