Custom Sessions
Alright, I'm rolling out the ability for ALL PATRONS (might roll it up to higher tiers in the future if there are too many, though) to request a custom session.Basically, you get to reserve a session id (such as 80000008) and it will just be like the 'canon' sessions. Players within this session will have the normal custom session things like custom look, and claspects and interests, but will ALSO have more in depth stuff like custom ...
Would People Be Interested In Custom Sessions?
Think of the various custom sessions that exist in the sim.413, 612, 13, (and the new highly self indulgant 730).Would you like to submit a custom session? Custom sessions would always show up when their session ID is entered, and you can ask for more in-depth details including basic quirks, land/sprite/denizen names, and even set relationships (like 730 has).I figure it's something that I can do for you guys that isn't TOO much work (may...
Land update is on Main!!!
You can see the completely rebuilt Quest Engine in any session, which is guaranteed to have way less repetition. http://farragofiction.com/SBURBSim/index2.html?seed=20171031You can see the land test page, which we like to call DEAD SESSIONS. http://farragofiction.com/SBURBSim/dead_index.htmlAnd there's a side project where you can make Dolls here: http://farragofiction.com/DollSim/Future work will include integrating with ParadoxLands 's ...
Trading Card Sim
You can also import your Dolls into the Trading Card Sim, which lets you edit cards or just let them be crazy random.
Character Sheets for Doll Maker
Collaborated with https://linkedsylveon.tumblr.com/ to wire up the dolls to a char sheet template.
Homestuck Doll Maker
You can finally make homestuck style characters that aren't constrained by the sim rules or aspect palette and class body. Have fun :) :) :)
Custom Discord Roles
In theory if you have your discord account associated with Patreon, you should have a custom role on the server now. What is the role? It is a myserty.
Waste Update on main!
First Main update in roughly two months, enjoy :)
Server is up
Apparently my firewall config got corrupted when it lost power???
Server is down due to Hurricane
I'm on it, but I've reached the limit of what I can do. I've opened up a support ticket and hopefully my hosting company will get back to me soon.
Gnosis 3 Summary
It's still only on Experimental, but wanted to give you peeps an update:Here’s the final break down of what can happen when a player reaches Tier3 of Gnosis:Light/Hope: God tier the ENTIRE party through murder/suicide. Fuck destiny, they are lucky enough/hopeful enough for this crazy plan to work.Rage/Mind: Figure out that you can plan to doom the timeline on purpose to summon free Doomed Time Clone army members bent on stopping you. Spam t...
Great Refactoring Voice Chat Complete
The Great GiggleSnort lowering of 2017 has been completed. Feel free to listen in on this recording of me talking about plans for the sim, and me and the mods answering questions, then a few minutes of utter chaos as I unmute absolutely everyone. You can also find it at:https://soundcloud.com/jaded-researcher/great-refactoring-voice-chatThanks for sticking through the Great Refactoring, guys, now it’s time to turn the new features into overdriv...
The Denizen Javascript has been defeated.
Also known as, guys, holy shit, The Great Refactoring is at an end.To celebrate I'm dropping a tier of gigglesnort and using my actual human mouth to use the discord server's voice chat options to talk to everybody about where the sim is headed, and answer questions.Tune in Saturday, August 19th at 5pm EST if that seems like your jam.
The Great Refactoring goes well
AB is the remaining main obstacle, PardoxLands has joined the team helping with coding and planning cool things to do visually using programming in the future.
The Great Refactoring is making progress.
I am probably half way through The Great Refactoring (which is converting the Sim into an entirely new language).Once that's done, fixing bugs and adding new features will be easier than ever.First new feature is likely to be having Wastes do interesting things, as a reward to myself. Then onward to the NPC update.
The Great Refactoring
The God Tier Waste of Mind (jadedResearcher) is doing... something. It's kind of hard to see. You are definitely blaming the God Tier Witch of Void (paradoxLands), somehow. Everyone seems to be pretty happy about it, though.(PardoxLands (from tumblr) is helping me do a HUGE rewrite of the sim which will allow even MORE crazy shenanigans to happen in the future, not to mention make bugs easier to find in general. I'll be unable to work on ...
Fraymotifs are officially on the Main Branch
For those of you who avoid the buggy, unbalanced mess that is Experimental, Fraymotifs are officially on Main!http://farragofiction.com/SBURBSim/index2.htmlLike always, I was distractable, so Fraymotifs aren’t the only improvement. The classpect system has been redone entirely to make fanon classes and aspects an eaiser thing, Heart/Blood players can totally get their OTPs together and wasn’t there something about a new ending? Oh, and that L...
3 new fanon classes added
Scout, Scribe and Sage are now on the experimental branch. They don't behave too differently to canon classes for now, but future plans are for classes in general to be differentiated a little bit better narratively.I really like how the ghost stuff works with Life/Doom players, as an example. Thieves do different things than Seers, for example. I might expand out the existing "aspecty" scenes to have special class roles on top of the...
Shipping Upgrade!!!
Heart and Blood players are now jointly responsible for shipping grids, covering concupiscent and conciliatory halves, respectively. They will occasionally decide on "OTP"s they will try to convince to date. This can result in the above shenanigans where a heart player tries to convince their own past self to date their crush.
CharSheets
You might notice these printing out after sessions end on the experimental branch. You know. IF they end and don't crash or doom themselves.
Fraymotifs v1
Simple, text only fraymotifs are now in the experimental branch of the simulation. I'm gonna flesh them out a bit, as well as adding hand made 'fraymotifs' for denizens, sprites, and troll psionics.After that, it's rebalance the sim and give a thorough testing run through, and it'll be ready for the main branch.
Procedural Fraymotif Descriptions are coming along.
"The Prince of Heart and Page of Mind and Knight of Time do Clone Hysteria Moment Cadenza on the Dummy. A restorative cloak of wind envelopes the Prince of Heart, a supportive mist of will surrounds the players and a acidic blast of misfortune surrounds all enemies."Next up is integrating the whole thing into the sim, coding ways for players to get fraymotifs, and then coding hand-made 'fraymotifs' for sprites, denizens and psioni...
Tick-Tock Logical Heart Requiem
So, I am totally working on fraymotifs now (http://www.farragofiction.com/SBURBSimE/test_fraymotif.html), and the above is my new favorite procedurally generated Fraymotif title (being Time/Mind/Heart).The Fraymotif engine will support procedural special attacks involving 1 to 12 players, as well as being the base for the non-procedural sprite special attacks which will further complicate the Crowned Carapacian fights. Denizens will get non-proce...
Kitty pattern
You may have spotted this in the Land of Rods and Screens. I designed this cute cat background with the colors of a certain cat-obsessed troll and her moirail. Go ahead and use it as you'd like for a little stealth Homestuck in your day.
Land of Rods and Screens
Spent the weekend throwing together a small puzzle game inspired by the Land Analysis provided to me by classpectanon:https://classpectanon.tumblr.com/post/162204711075/could-i-get-a-land-analysis-waste-or-maid-ifIt is riddled with secrets. I plan on posting hints (in the form of images contained with the puzzle) to the rarest of the secrets later on today.(Also, I have literally no idea why it decided that an extreme close up of one of the butto...
All received Patron OCDataStrings
We're really starting to gather a collection :) :) :) Thank you everyone!Every Patron is eligible to join the Patron set of Fan OCs, listed separately on the site from any other type of Fan OC. If you already have one in a different category, your character can be in multiple places, etc. etc.(Also, I got some great fan art/ a tumblr mention here: http://paradoxlands.tumblr.com/post/162149733351/main-dish-misalignment-stand-by-sometimes-while...
Main Branch gets the Tournament Update!!!
(Which will be the last update it gets for a while as I do some major rendering and classpecting overhauls over on the Experimental Branch).http://farragofiction.com/SBURBSim/tournament_arc.htmlBasically, any category of fan submitted OCs (including you patrons) can take part in a giant tournament, MC’d by ParadoxSpace’s best robot, AuthorBot. And also AuthorBotJunior. For reasons. I also implemented new easter eggs to allow the tournament to...
TODO: A Vague List
ShortTerm:Tonight or tomorrow, the TOURNAMENT will go into Beta on the experimental branch. I've fixed some bugs that shook out from it (including Life players getting a minor buff when it turned out they were a little useless).MediumTerm:CLASSES will get a major upgrade and ASPECTS (especially heart/blood) will get a minor one. I have reached many new rungs on my echeladder since designing the classpect system, and think I can make some big ...
If Pumpkins were a real thing...
I imagine that they'd continue to be a real thing, and it would be frankly to ridiculous to assume they ever stopped being a real thing.Also, current patreon OCs are:b=%7B%15%C2%A2%C2%B9%C3%B9p%C2%80%26%1C.%3A&s=,,Mermaids,Puns,Xexusb=B1%0F%C2%81%C3%BE%C2%A7%00H%19%193&s=,,Coding,Science Fiction,insipidTestimonyb=%C2%8Di2'%C3%BE%C2%97%00R%11%11%1E&s=,,Video Games,Werewolves,stoicLoaferHaving an OC is defs not required, but for those who d...
Thank you!!!
We can now create automatic backups of the server!Next goal is art resources for karmicRetribution :) :) :)
