Cheers mates, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. The life of a law-abiding detective is a hard but rewarding one. Enjoy some proto-BANs.

>>133247
Many many moons ago I lurked tgchan and tried a few quests, it was a long time ago and I was pretty bad at it then though. I guess the secret to improvement was just doing nothing quest-related for the better part of a decade

I'm always really impressed when people with a different default language make storytime happen in English here.

Maybe Ban will get to play with his trusty shotgun in due time...

Gotta say, I quite like this quest so far. I thought from the thumbnail it was gonna be a modstaff shitpost quest but this is just interesting well-written cop drama.

Keep up the good work, I'm engaged with this strange mystery.

I get the feeling STEVE isn't as much of an asshole as he lets on, either.

Sorry for the slight delay mates, the 4th of July has been turning into a bit of a bender. There should be at least one update this weekend, then we'll be back to business as usual.

yo, any chance we can get some color notes on Ban and the crew?

A bit of a heads-up, from here until mid-August I'll be in the process of moving out of my current apartment and into a new one a few states away. I think updates will stay pretty consistent throughout, but there might be a bit of a gap in August when things get especially hectic.

>>133378
wow, so Ban himself is just stark white?

>>133408
Indeed, it's one of the more salient features of people like himself.

>>133412
Is having totally white skin a characteristic only demons have? Because I notice STEVE and the guy on the far right both have totally white skin.

STEVE is in fact a demon. As the son of Joe Durst and ALICIA, you could say that John takes after his mother... Speaking of STEVE, I found this early draft where I planned on actually making him a human, and even angrier.

>>133415
This is not a criticism, but STEVE seemed to have one of the more human faces so far.

>>133428
yeah without this color ref I never woulda guessed steven to be a demon, lol

>>133445
I suspected. There was a pretty good hint in the naming convention!

Oh, all demons have allcaps names?

Another proto-BAN, I believe this is the oldest one in my sketchbooks. If I remember right, the original idea was Ace Attorney but in hell.

>>133455
Indeed, it's the most consistent way to discern them from other critters.

>>133477
oh, haha I assumed STEVE was capitalized because they always just mentally inflect his name at this point

like

"Ugh, STEVE. I can't believe STEVE is doing STEVE things again!"
"I know! Ugh, STEVE."

There is definitely some extra venom whenever his name is pronounced by our 1P companions, haha.

>>133498
Wait, those are actual pig snouts? I thought they just had really big noses/nostrils.

Loving the quest (always a sucker for police procedurals), and loving the Patlabor/Headgear-esque art style!

They are bonafide snouts! There are a few critters in between humans and demons that also inhabit our city. Pigmen are one of the more common ones.

None of the demons have mouths, right?

BTW Love the quest so far! I think you have an absolutely perfect blend of holy shit stuff happening and also time for players to breathe and plan.

The big move's done, should be business as usual for now. I'm now right in the center of what could be considered this city's Wartown, so we'll see how I fare, haha.

>>133612
Glad you're digging it, mate. Indeed, none of them have mouths. They still do mouth things, but nobody really knows or questions how...

>>133639
wild theories with no proof at all time:
-food either phase through where the mouth would be

OR

-mouths are invisible, but external

A skin flap like a kangeroo, which lies flat mostly, but food gets passed inside. Also explains demon speech.

Just found this quest, loving it so far keep up the good work!

>>133248
Is there a name for the art style you use? Made me think 'french' while I was reading through the quest proper, so I guess I was right on that front.

I had to google what the inside of a pouch looked like, nature is beautiful but a little spooky...

>>133663
Welcome aboard mate, enjoy

>>133668
I don't think there's a name for it. I do pine after a lot of French cartoonists, so if there's some tangible French-ness in it to you then I'm flattered.

did a couple favicons so your quest has a unique lil' tab icon. Enjoy!

BAN no what are you doing in that video game, get out of there or Dane's gonna kill you

WIP obviously but I'm probably not gonna texture this for a bit lol

Also, for some reason it wouldn't let me upload the gif or link an imgur upload of it, so I had to link it and just take a screenshot, boo

>>133771

I reccomend fullviewing this because for some reason the thumbnail cuts blank a quarter of the way into the turn lmao

he's fully poseable though, when I have some time to refine the texture I'll upload the blockbench file for you to play with

>>133771
Pretty cool, but not sure I'm feelin' the green pants.

>>133777
yeah that's one if the things I'm fixing before I upload, was aiming for more of a beige slacks color but I'm colorblind amd rely on maths to fix this stuff.

since I doubt I can upload this directly to tgchan, have a dropbox link.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mkcv4jv69n4psa8/Ban.bbmodel?dl=0

should be fully rigged for animation in blockbench, I highly reccomend doing so after downloading the geckolib plugin as it adds a bunch of neato tweening settings that make smoother animation way easier than wtf ever I was doing making this thing one lol

Was that cat dude originally going to be his partner instead of the lovely Sgt Dane?

Digging through my sketchbooks, Dane predates him by a bit, but I was kicking the idea around for a second. As time went on, he sort of evolved into KYLE.
