I mean, a lot of people have inactive quests going on. I'm always happy to see this one to update though

>>133768
Teegee said the rest are on hiatus, after this DD thread Flora is going to get updated, maybe WAA WAA is death though, shame we need more quest about Kobolds.

>>133774
According to the wiki Flora is a dead quest.

>>133867
"Dead" has a specific definition on that wiki, applying to quests that hit the graveyard in while in their first thread. Meanwhile, if they hit the graveyard one post into their second thread, they're "on hiatus," even if there's no realistic chance they'll ever be restarted.

I just made a new catch-all disthread for all my quests: >>133919

>>133870
There's a lot I like, and very little I don't. I love the artwork, the pacing (that is, the storytelling pace, not the update pace because WANT MOAR), the setting, all that. About the only thing I don't like is, as stated, the update pace, but that'd be kinda unfair to blame you, IMO.

>>133872
We've had opportunities to kill before, but I just don't think we've had good opportunities or real desires to. Do I think we'll end up in a no-kill run? No, but I would prefer to leave da murda to incredibly vile individuals, not rats looking to escape from a torturous lab or a dim muscle idiot who's probably not that evil at heart.

I for one intend to play Bonnie as wholly chaotic stupid good, with a childlike innocence and desire to do the right thing coupled with a complete and total lack of planning or foresight.

Hopefully, watching the collateral damage amount soar will be seen as a feature not a bug.

>>133881
That sounds like a plan to me!

>>133881
pretty much what I'm hoping to see too.

I finally got around to (what I hope to be) the final draft of the planned graphic novel. The dropbox link should work and there is a way to download the pdf in the sidebar somewhere. There's still a bit of character design and concept art to do before I start illustrating the first page. Enjoy!

New quest idea. Huron High School with all your favorite mercs!

>>131994
Going from 'I liked it' to 'it's not great' describes the quest perfectly: Very flawed, but made with a ton of love.

Since it's silly to critique something made 10 years ago, I'll focus a bit more on what I'd do to fix some of the issues now, with a decade of experience behind me.

-----

The Sekani/Amiel romance is something I'd completely rework if I could go back. Either to slow it down and make it more natural, or to cut it and have them become BFFs instead. Amiel and Dilia (and to an extent Sekani and Kinasa) had way more chemistry than the two main characters together.

Their romance suffered from 'it's 4 chapters oops I mean 12 chapters' pacing on top of their lack of chemistry.

Amiel is a character I'd rework in general (the 10 year anniversary animation shows a bit of what Amiel would be like if I wrote her now), though Sekani at least had enough personality to be a protagonist (the protag is never the most interesting character, after all).

>I think you did throw in too many ideas at the end there, with the big fleshy growths
At the end? The entire quest was me throwing things at the wall to see what stuck! I basically winged it, doing things that sounded good assuming future-me would figure out the details.

In case you're randomly curious.

------
Perfect majibeasts: Sekani, Tayza, Jiniki, Dilia until chapter 9, Iiji until chapter 12, the tezakian majibeast in chapter 3, the Klis-khar who escaped the base before the events of Tezakia Quest.

These majibeasts look more feral, and are more powerful. The symbiosis of majicka and flesh is more complete.

------
Imperfect majibeasts: Kinasa, Delkin (maybe you'd be perfect if anyone liked you!), The Diuban majibeast, the two majibeasts who joined Iiji in the final battle, that one klis-khar scientist in chapter 12, the Lian majibeast seen with Delkin.

The symbiosis of majicka and flesh didn't take quite so well, leading to weaker majibeasts who retain more of their original look.

You didn't even try majibeasts: The flesh blobs????

...Except Amiel became a majibeast again in Tezakian Slumber Party but the joke doesn't work if I tell you that part.

I must sadly report that due to the loss of an animal companion and dear friend, all questing activity is paused for a little while. I will keep you posted on when things will resume.

Thanks.

How many types of dragons are we going to see on Dragon Day?

Hey everyone, I have recently learned that I am very much exhausted and it has been affecting my work. So I will be taking a Hiatus from Jumpquest for the time being, get my head straight and try to just get back to normal.

I want to make good quality updates, and I feel I haven't done so in a long time for this quest of mine.

I'll be back eventually but for a little bit this thread will be... quiet, and if I do make any updates I'm sorry to say there will likely be no pictures.

Thank you all for understanding.

No worries. Take whatever time you need

Yeah, but

What's the backstory for this quest?

Can we hire humans as R&D/perimeter guards?

Does the game have a 'timer' or is it just linear branching?

Does magic C.Org a thing or is not? (Xenonauts made me ask this.)

Will there be a time-between-missions research progress bar, or is it based on a research point system?

Can we get intersex/non-binary C.Orgs?

>>133894
>What's the backstory for this quest?
Most of the backstory is in the OP. Gray City is very prosperous but has paranatural incursions that the government doesn't want people knowing about because people might leave/it could hurt tourism.

The Secret Extermination Command is tasked with eliminating these incursions/threats without the ordinary citizens finding out. Human commanders are put in charge of squads of Constructed Organisms with animal powers, etc.

>Can we hire humans as R&D/perimeter guards?
You have no ability to hire anybody, and aren't in charge of the facility. You just control your team. Your influence could expand later on, though.

>Does the game have a 'timer' or is it just linear branching?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. You're not the only team, so missions you don't take could get taken by another team who will either succeed or fail.

>Does magic C.Org a thing or is not? (Xenonauts made me ask this.)
You can get some units that use magic.

I fucking love this quest. I'm a huge XCom fan, so taking that concept and making it playful and silly is A+++ in my book. Also, I think your execution so far is wonderful. <3 This is what Chimera should have been. Thank you!

>>133899
I wanted to go on dates with Torque too. No need to get hyperbolic here.

Glad you're enjoying it, though!

I love you.

No homo.

Huh, I wonder how much this is going to take from Homestuck, and how far it's going to diverge. The irony is that, it would still be far more interesting of a story if it *actually* followed the session's conflicts instead of fucking off to go play dating sim instead.

As such, I'm particularly hopeful for the direction of this quest! It's going to be *great* once we start meeting the others, and we get unique takes on the mechanics that were sadly underutilised in the work that serves as an inspiration for this one.

In hindsight this quest would probably fit better on Mspfa, maybe I'll mirror it like d3 got mirrored.

If you don't mind some advice, I'd say don't feel the need to follow Homestuck's formula at any point. Use it for inspiration as much as you like, but diverge wherever it just works for your story to do something completely different.

>>133878
I won't be following Homestuck's formula entirely. Granted, there have been a lot of similarities, though they're mostly superficial, but I do want the story to go it's own way and have a sort of outline in my mind already.

Generally, if the situation seems right and you guys want to switch views to different members if the (active) casts of the quests, then that's totally possible if even for an image or two update to them. I'm trying some new techniques that should hopefully spice up the stories of both of my quests do they're a little more interesting to read than crazyeyed ratgf in the desert, and dumb Ronin getting in trouble. (though there should still be that too)

does the author have any art related social media other then tumblr? Id like to follow them on something othen then tumblr

Hey guys!!

Thought I'd chime in to clarify a bit more. Maybe I should have given an Arial view, which will likely be included next update.

But currently, the Archer atop The rocks is aiming, but looks like it only begun when they saw that the rat and skald Drew their weapons.

The skald was pointing them out to you, and the two banditos are well within shotgun range.

The skald also just thinks they might be familiar. If they are or not is up to the suggestions. Just thought I'd offer clarifications if needed, so let me know!

Okay I just have to jump in here to say that Maurea's outfit is EXCELLENT

damn it, I get my wisdom teeth removed and am not supposed to smile, then I’m treated to an image of Meandraco being described as an “anime pedo rapist” then using his dark Finnish sorcery to summon a meanluk just to grab it by the neck and throw it into a toilet

Oh god is that who that is? lol that puts things in a new perspective.

So, would something like this be allowed?

Agatha Spires
Class: Townie
Ambitions: Giving things back to their rightful owners / candied apples
Phobia: Thunderstorms

right hip: coin purse
left shoulder: Azarthraine's spellbook. How fortuitous!
right shoulder: dried fruit

>>125651
Yeah, that's fine.

From Azure's mentors:

"The core aspect of modern dancing is the consistent fact that it is a physical art recorded by the concept of vision. As you move, you concentrate the focus of the vision of your audience in the corresponding direction of your force. Do not, under any circumstances, discard this force. If you must be the center of attraction, balance every outward motion with an accompanying inward one. If your show and its producers demand a sacrifice of attention towards the scenery (read: other dancers), be sure to move the force towards the ones that have been demanded in turn to return it back to you once their meager display is complete. And finally, understand the limits and tendencies of your audience. Though we are unable to truly comprehend the scope and range of vision itself, we can say with certainty that those who live in the Blood Mire have a certain tendency: when they crane their heads upward, they get a crick in their necks and feel the compulsion to re-align them back. What goes up must come down, so to speak. Thus, usually you can perform an upward show of hands as your flourish and expect the focus to come back down relatively quickly. Just be sure to catch it."

Now that Azarthraine has his spellbook back, I can't keep playing him as an NPC. Who's going to take over being the lizard wizard?

>>126081
I'm juggling less characters than Santova, Kome and Strgy, and I'm already ostensibly in-charge of the Fire Hawks through Dav, so my taking over the other leadership character might make sense.

I'm really not at all confident about being able to manage the resources an nth level caster provides, though (good gods the spell per day preparation), and it feels pretty weird having a PC 10+ levels higher than everyone else.

Any reason why he doesn't work as an npc? I get not wanting one very powerful npc to overshadow player agency, but I sort of thought his position was going to be advice, artillery, logistical support, getting us jobs, crafting spirit sanctums and stuff in exchange for divine or magical favors / resources, etc.

Also I sort of liked having a character in a position to refine plans and rein us in when we come up with plans that don't make sense in-setting, or badly use resources we don't understand well.

Today I learned genital slits are considered the same thing as clothing in paraspace. Or I have horribly, horribly, misinterpreted what Lackey meant.

>>133800
Whatever makes your boat float Deer! I especially like the quest and disthread drawings of Eth and Reno. Gives out a "Darkest Dungeon" feel. I would love to see more of that.

>>133800
If you do need to take a break, don't feel bad about doing simpler styles from time to time. Everyone knows running a quest is stressful enough. A quick sketchier panel for an update might be a good release of tension every once in a while. I'm loving this Reno redesign, but I also did love the original a lot too. She was my favorite character design in the OG quest.

I'm actually drawing out of an ipad.

So I'd like to clear up some matters.

Slime can use ice and fire magic, BECAUSE she had consumed those who had ice and fire magic. This allowed her to access a higher ability to control temperature.
As she gains more abilities, they'll unlock higher abilities she can use, and access to spells that relate to it.

Another thing is regarding Absorbing and Consuming.
Absorbing allows Slime to skim the core of a target, copying a small bit of their core.
Consuming allows slime to take in all their abilities.
Slime has no wind or air related abilities, so it can't replicate Lily's spell.

Some more questions since arguments are popping up in the main thread.

The arm thing, Emils made an arm out of... well, itself, and had the option to burn biomass to create more arm. This implies abilities that are quite broad, widely useful, and powerful.

Now I was under the impression regardless of what's on that character sheet that Emils learns and grows in abilities by using them, and things like mana sense and solid material manipulation as "abilities" might be gone, but those skills still exist in same basic manner and are usable, we just aren't copying some base level competence with them, just blindly flailing around with dangerous magics like the chlid Emils is.

So can we manipulate solids into new shapes and functions? Is learning abilities and magic something we hold a few copied abilities in but those same abilities become learned skills as Emils uses and master them?

>Absorbing and Consuming
I'm frequently confuse with distinctions like this. Back at the cemetery there was a thing about consume or eat that I didn't get at all.

If I'm understanding this correctly Absorbing is what we did to copy Bea's and Alice's spells. Does skimming cores result in negative consequences for the target?

If I'm not understanding this correctly and absorption is something more lethal, than what is the advantage of absolve over consume?

So stuff happened.
I’m closing my patreon, and planning to open up commissions.
