There's some tumblr post or quote out there about stories choosing someone to tell them. And you know what story chose me? The fucking magic labyrinth of I.M. Meen. Ever since my sister introduced me to this beast I have had it reinstert itself into my life every 8 months. One day I decided to OC-ify the little bastard and now he's getting an RPGmaker remake.

I drop this for months at a time (fingers crossed I get some consistent work done this year) but at the start of this year I got a little more organized so hopefully progress is a little easier to see.

Currently in the spriting phase of things, while also still working on some concepts. I have some things I know I want to keep, some things I definitely want to get rid of, and some things that I havent really decided on yet. I'm having fun learning RPGMaker and it lets me use my older computers for something.

I have a devlog tag on my tumblr if you would like to see some of the things I've been doing.

SCHROEDINGER DONT FORGET THE GRAPHIC !!!! THE GRAPHIC, SCHROEDINGER!!!!!

Dead Man's Party is my webcomic project adapting Filmation's Ghostbusters but making it. Gooder. Currently (re)designing characters and writing out a script. Hoping to make it one of those page-a-week type comics so there's less stress on like, sorting out chapters n junk.

I've written a tumblr post with some of my ideas for this, alongside a couple character refs. Main thing is just making the entire premise a little more serious. For a saturday morning cartoon with the same pace as cocomelon, having a wacky little adventure where you just blow ghosts up is cool and all (and makes sure that the conflict returning is always built into the plot) but I want it to have a little more weight.

I havent watched the full cartoon and I have no plans on watching the original sitcom (if I could even find it; I haven't looked) so things deviate pretty drastically, not that theres a HUGE overarching plot. I've decided to ignore Eddie and Jake senior, as I don't know much about them and adpating the Jr's cartoon designs was easier anyways. I've also turned Tracy into a beagle. Since ghost buggy is clearly some sort of chitty-bang-bang car (magic and all) I decided that Chitty is canon to this universe, and the cars are one in the same. I also want to keep the time travelling aspect, I think it's neat and its what makes Filmation's Ghostbusters what it is. Yes these serious noir-esque detectives ARE going on silly little adventures.

I redesigned Futura to be more alien like and I would like her to be a little less.. useless? I want to avoid that feeling of "JUST USE YOUR POWERS" that I get from the cartoon. Belfry here is like, her little pink bat pet. Don't know what to do with him quite yet. Prime Evil's story is a bit different because I think its so so stupid for him to just be trapped?? in a vault?? for a thousand years or whatever?? Like why would a vault stop this clearly powerful and malevolent spirit. Anyways. Plan for his motivation is that he was once some sort of criminal who was arrested by Jake and Eddie and given the death penalty. Think its fair to want the two dead after that.

I have plenty of other stuff to work out but I think I covered all the big stuff here. I need to get working on that script aauugugghhhh
