RYu Ideas and requests 🌈

[Bat]

I wouldn't be opposed to another community event, but I'm not sure if we have the same draw as we did back when Fabulous hosted originally. If it was big and spectacular with lots of custom graphics and stuff, then maybe we'd get some attention.

I have a bunch of quality of life updates in the Ryugotchis that I've been meaning to push, a few in-game mechanics that I've left turned off because of insensitive timing, and a few new Ryugotchi designs that have been collecting dust. I need to finish drawing the userbar animations for additional rewards as well. I have lots of stuff piling up.

I feel as though that would be a bit grating to watch as it clunks along at a whopping 2 fps.

you right you right

Maybe we should do it over the June/July holiday period to get a better draw or easter time? I am willing to help how ever you need me

I had tremendous fun making the rose garden background way back in the olden days when Ryus were very new. It felt almost like being a kid and coloring again, painstakingly editing individual pixels!

Running a competition/event requires a lot of legwork and it can be super disappointing if you don't get the participation you want. May be worth running a sort of fishing for interest type poll. Then whatever participation you get people saying they'll contribute, cut that by about half, because people fall out over the duration, have real life things come up, or don't find the process as fun as they thought it would be when they started.

I'd be stoked to have a new background contest! I have getting better at pixel art on my 2024 resolution list, and this seems like the perfect application.

I think the issue with June/July has typically been that's the Altador Cup and the aftermath? It's also prime vacation time in the States.

Thank you @(you need an account to see links) for the Rose Garden scene! It's one of my favorites!

For context, here are the color transition keys and in-betweens from the Repsational userbar, but slowed to the animation speed of the Ryugotchi userbar:



And here are just the color transition keys:



One takes about 1:20 to complete, and the other is close to triggering an epilepsy. The animation steps for the Ryugotchi userbar don't allow for smooth action, but that's by design.

Ok not gonna lie I didn't realise how the Ryu bars worked speed wise etc but this makes sense
I will suggest static things going forward haha

From personal experience, animated Ryu backgrounds cannot be a thing. It'll be too much, too slow, and the Ryu will definitely get lost in all that action like @(you need an account to see links) said.

But I'd be down for another contest, or help host it or whatever help would be required!

Just checking, would people be interested in a tutorial to make custom Ryu's or Ryu backgrounds in the simplest way?

I would be interested yes. Not only that but also how to do your own custom userbars and avatars in a simple way

Is one of them a synthesizer for a pet?

I'm not sure if I'd be able to do this considering I'm terrible with digital drawing but I def would love a newbie guide about userbar/scenes design, always something new to learn about
