Been a bit since Thread updated, what's up?

>>138049
It's called "real life". The quest author probably has something going on irl and that's preventing them from working on the quest.

Please try to be patient while waiting for an update.

thread quest is coming i swears! it's just taken me a bit to work on it. I started it with the idea that it would be a side thing I could do around SQ updates, when I had the time and energy to do it, and I just haven't had the energy the past few weeks. Slime Quest is way more important to me personally, and gets significantly more of my attention. But I do have an update brewing, hopefully it's nice and people like it

They're gonna do a heckin smooch and maybe even a kiss.

did we ever get that honey slime's name?

>>138130
no we didn't, what should she be called?

>>138141
Honey

Hard Candy

>>138061
what about.....holding hands, or saying they love each other? too lewd for this site?

>>138207
oh it's too lewd for ANY my good sir, sorry but you are banned from the internet
Honestly though I want a I love you in both groups eventually, melt my heart

Wanted to say, Slime Quest rocks, and also there's something I wanted to ask in the thread but the time for when it was most relevant has sort of passed and I imagine it'd be a bit awkward to work in to a conversation now, so I'll ask it here: What is Humphrey's earliest memory? Like, where and when does he remember first waking up?

I'm glad you're enjoying it! thanks so much for reading along ^^

I think i glossed over it when they fused as just being a blur of rememberies shared between the two of them, but Humphrey's canon first memory is waking up in the hive. Their core was found somewhere in the mines XXXX years after the world broke and brought back to grow in the hive. Sometime later, Humphrey's core grew a new body!

It's a cheap answer but I love all my characters, and im so excited to share even more of them in the future
if i absolutely had to pick a favorite it would be the Slime Queen, which also feels like a cheap answer

>>138397
Slim Queen is pretty fab. Yaaaaass Queeeen.

Would it be possible to get Voidkin companions, or turn some of the wild void into frens thanks to the knife in our core?

>>138398
Sure! Just depends on how wild void encounters go. We'll learn more about the broken sword and what it can do very soon.

>>138399
How big will our favorite slime will get when the mushrooms fully mature? Will we get that cute mushroom hat? Could we do mushroom based attacks where we shoot sneezing spores? healing spores? itching spores?

>>138424
i dont know if we'll get bigger, per se, but we'll definitely grow in different and interesting ways.
mushroom hat WILL happen, and there's a few other powers and passive abilities that'll manifest, but i wanna leave it a little bit of a surprise. :3

OG tricky concept. Biggest change is the ears, the rest stayed pretty true!

We'll be entering combat again soon, and I'm not sure how I want to do it. What are some good suggestions for queuing actions and rolling dice? Preferably something that doesn't involve too much math homework

My initial thought was to do it similar to Thread Quest where I roll a d6 for every action suggested (based on majority for multiple conflicting suggestions) and build a battle plan based off of that.

Does that sound like a good idea? Is there a better way to do this?

it is a good idea I believe, you can't have us roll because we will average every time

>>138507
Reproduction.
How is babby slime formed?

How do interspecies relationships work. I mean it looks like slimes don’t really have genders and apparently don’t have offspring the way most other species do and if I had to guess voidkin are in a similar boat. So do romances work between species normally or do they just go up to really good friends and stay there?

>>138508

I've had a lot of different ideas about slime reproduction and such, and I've never really seemed to settle on one clear answer.

A few thoughts have remained consistent, and are as follows:

•The earth is full of primordial slime

•some of this earth slime crystalizes in chunks on the surface

•crystals resonate a natural power that draws more slime out of the earth and creates a simple slime

•simple slimes have no thoughts or souls, and wander about like jellyfish, mindlessly eating whatever tiny critters they roll over

•sometimes a bit of crystal breaks off in a simple slime and forms a tiny core. This coalesces over time, becoming larger and stronger, until eventually the slime gains sentience

•from here the slime continues to grow and become stronger, eventually growing strong enough to form limbs. These are called "upright slimes" until I can think of a better title

•upright slimes typically stop getting stronger at this point, but some can continue to become bigger and stronger, and eventually they become "Awakened"

•Awakened slimes begin to grow new features such as horns or teeth or hair, and usually some variation of genitals. Their bodies gradually grow larger and stronger until they discover a powerful truth about themselves, literally shaking them to the core, and causing them to become "Ascended Slimes"

•Ascended slimes begin to take on more and more features unlike those associated with slime, so much so that they can become entirely unrecognizable as slime. Things like bones and organs and such. From there they just keep getting stronger and stronger until their core can no longer support them, and they return to the earth


Grand and Elder slimes are not on the evolutionary path, nor are man-made slimekin or Titans, as they are all beings of creation rather than evolution.

The span of time between evolutionary steps can vary anywhere from decades to centuries.


TL;DR, slimes manifest from the earth asexually, grow up big and strong, and then return to the earth.


DATING???

All the funny peoples can date each other if they want to and are old enough, I'm not sure what else to say about it lol. Not all of them can reproduce with each other, but that doesn't mean they can't love one another. It's not like slime and void explode when they touch.

>>138511
So does that mean slimes and voidkin are basically the same with the only difference being slimes come from the earth and voidkin come from beyond it?

>All the funny peoples can date each other if they want to and are old enough, I'm not sure what else to say about it lol. Not all of them can reproduce with each other, but that doesn't mean they can't love one another. It's not like slime and void explode when they touch.

sweet, no taboos about who we can and can’t date. All I needed to know.

I would assume Humphery would know what Elder Slimes are? could you tell us?

Radom and hopefully simple question. Slime color, can slimes chose what color they are or is it more like just being born with a certain color hair as in you're just born that way and have no real control over it? And speaking of hair, could a slime dye themselves if they wanted to?

Can Grand (and Elder) Slimes become Awakened and/or Ascended?

>>138511
Would it be possible for our protagonist to include new slimes into the slime mass?

Nice effect you put on the swords eye, just wanted to put that out there

>>138515
>Does Humphrey know about Elder Slimes?
Only one person in the story has heard anything about Elder Slimes, and it's not Humphrey.

>>138517
>can slimes change their color?
Absolutely! Color is often determined by the minerals nearby, but slimes can change it if they so desire. It's probably not instantaneous, but they do have some control over it.

>>138521
>Can Grand/Elder slimes awaken/ascend?
that's something we'll have to discover together

>>138600
>can our MC fuse with other slimes?
kiiiiiiiinnnnd of. I don't want to spoil it, but it's definitely different from fusing with her own pieces.

>>138628
>"Nice effect you put on the swords eye, just wanted to put that out there"
It's very subtle, but I'm glad someone noticed it hahaha

>Absolutely! Color is often determined by the minerals nearby, but slimes can change it if they so desire. It's probably not instantaneous, but they do have some control over it.

Sweet, now if we ever need to do something sneaky we can just turn our color, wear a wig, and slap on a fake mustache. We'd be a master at disguise.

How smoochable is Tricky?

>>138635
How smoochable is Tricky?

>>138635
Is Nemo/Humphrrey melting because of its hot outside, or because we picked to activate the mushroom powers?

Tricky is small and adorable, so their smoochability is pretty high up there.

We're melting because "boy it's hot, are you hot or is it just me? I just feel really hot all the time, like I can't get cool or comfortable, I just want to be like in a dark cave where it's cold and wet and dark, that would be great."

>>138732
What would happen if our protagonist gave Tricky a big, fat, wet, smoochie on his cheek? Would slime magic happen, or would he get all embarrassed?

They're not really close enough for that kind of intimacy yet, so it would be pretty embarrassing.

Probably be even more awkward since Nemo is kind of melting right now so she’d probably just absorb his head by mistake

If slime runes be cast as void runes, can void runes be cast as slime runes?

>If slime runes be cast as void runes, can void runes be cast as slime runes?

Absolutely! Sometimes the effect is entirely different, sometimes it's only slightly different, but all runes can be mixed.

I drew this for thanksgiving as a goof but it applies to Christmas too

Nemo and voidking have to sit at the kids table and it’s awkward cuz they did kill Nemo, but they’re acting pretty chill about the whole thing.

He's kind of an amalgamation of everything I love about video game clowns antagonists. Reckless desire for chaos, cool hat and robe, big hands for casting evil spells, bonus points if they are made of or are in control of a mysterious "Evil Fluid"
I hope that people love him as much as I do, the fucked up little freaky evil dude he is

I've been waiting so long to reveal this character, you have NO idea. You also have no idea how much of this quest has been planned years in advance, and how much of it I've made up on the spot. It's been a wild ride. I hope it continues to be an exciting and enjoyable one.

Actually, on that note, I'd love to get some feedback! This is the longest I've ever worked on something, and I wanna make sure I'm doing it right. How do you feel about how things are going? Am I listening to suggestions and interacting with the audience well? How do you feel about the art style shifting so much? What sort of stuff would you like me to keep in consideration moving forward?

I'm having an absolute blast running this story, and I'm so happy that other people are enjoying it too. I've cried over Slime Quest several times in the process of writing and drawing it. Maybe that's a silly thing to do, but It's very special to me, and I want to tell it as well as I possibly can. I want other people to love my goofy characters and world.

Thank you for continuing to read Slime Quest. From the bottom of my heart to the top, Thank You. <3

What if we had waited for the Guild? Would they have recommended going into the lake?

>>139096
Nope, we probably would have just gone to Snowloaf. The guild was mentioned by the crystal smith to fill out the world a little bit more and give us more things to do outside of the main objective of recovering our pieces, but it was not the ""intended route"". It feels reductive to say "we didn't go where I meant for us to go" because this is an interactive medium. You tell me where you want to go and what you want to do, and in return I tell you a story. I think that's neat.

I'm like a GM furiously laying down tracks before the players as we chug along and im having a lot of fun building the world this way.

Hmm, how would we have met the void wizard then...?

>>139110
spoiler-free answer:
Don't Worry About It.

magic-spoiling answer:
Everything is laid out very loosely, until it's explicitly set in stone. Locations, items, people, all that stuff shifts around behind the scenes until it slots into place for the story. I have a general idea about the broader strokes of the story, such as key locations, what things are in them, pieces of history etc etc, but the details are fluid. Through exploring and talking to people we're solidifying all that information.
So the statue could have been anywhere, or if not the statue, information about the person in the statue. Some of this stuff is planned, some of it Just Feels Right come update day.
I started the story with a handful of key ideas, like a map with locations, but no roads drawn between them. We're forging those paths and discovering new places along the way.
I dunno. Maybe I'm revealing too much by saying this. Don't worry about it, the story is going to happen one way or another.

>>139095
It's a legit fun cutesy-to-cutesely-serious story, you're doing fine, you're definitely not the only author who gets emotionally involved in they silly chars and That's Okay, as far as I can tell you're on the good end of listening to suggestions while still letting Plot Happen, the art style shifting Is Good And Fine And Even Kinda Expected, I have no particular considerations I'd want you to keep to, so... just carry on and have fun!

>>139094
Ah, and the Rad Bad archetype is also a fav. Love to hate, etc.

Void King. Death cat is unavailable, The Trickster is evil, and Tricky is too young.

Bit of an unfortunate coincidence that Tricky and The Trickster have such similar names.
