Adventure story show Idea

[anon5868932]

thats right, I learnt that these are forums and that this is a topic. Updates will be replied below.

A very important note that I have not mentioned before: I am horrid at projects, I have motivations to make plans but not to actually execute it.

Oh yeah and also all the graphics on this specific post is made on ms paint with a mouse because I lost my drawing pen and ms paint is the only program that lets me draw with a mouse comfortably.

You’ve may of seen some fan-created series based off of Vetex’s games, a main one being littleshreksheep’s comic. I was thinking one day and went, yeah I want to make a fan-created series based off of Vetex’s games too, but what game?

In terms of worlds, AA really just isn’t my type and I’m pretty scared to touch it due to the fact that I do not have many memories of it so I feel like if when I get past whats in the game and go off of the lore document I interpret something ‘wrong’ people will go wild over it so its left on the table. WOM is the same in the world aspect and AO hasn’t even released yet I know zero things about it I’M NOT FOLLOWING THE TRELLO that thing is scary.

Adventure story is fun, I can be stupid and get away with it. Who cares if a walking log, beings that hold the power to control life and create it out of nothingness instantly, and humanoid flowers are ‘unrealistic’ its Adventure Story, even with my barely any knowledge outside of the game knowledge because I barely interacted with the community during the AS era and I still dont you guys are scary what is an Astfolo. Even without knowledge outside of the game I can still imagine a story since there is an end goal, to kill Maelstrom. Since Maelstrom is barely described they are whatever pleases me, in a good way. Like a hive mind of druids, because they can meddle with life, or TANGLER.

The art style in particular is very enjoyable, vetex made the low poly mesh with no texture style WORK with some decals thrown in to make it not look bland, reminds me of adventure forward 2’s art style or sharkbyte studio’s (they made dungeon master, lab and space experiment.) . I can also imagine the story as a kind of fetch quest kind of thing, travel to the main 6 kingdoms to get some thingy to kill evil Maelstrom who is not DURZA is not durza is not, however I have played BUG FABLE and Wandersong so theres probably going to be some sort of twist (someone described bug fables thing wasn’t really a twist and just added to the story) where the real way to destroy Maelstrom is POLITICS and LOVEEEE. Even though Maelstrom is described as a singular entity I can just make it so people simplified the idea to Maelstrom being the main cause due to them not understanding corruption and having barely any motivation to fix it since it doesn’t really affect them that much I mean mapleburg and frogville are chilling. Have it be a twist that one thing cannot solve the corruption problem but it has to be a collective effort to do it like Wandersong woah.

I just see more potential in AS personally for me ( in my opinion ).

Now the most important thing to know when you’re creating something is what medium its going to be in, the first thing I thought was show. It would put my skills to the test and stretch those muscles. Now what specifically would it stretch? Writing, storyboarding, character design, animation, and all that other stuff like colour keys.

How would I make it into a show? Well adventure story is very story-based so it’ll probably not be that hard, someone suggested making battles like Pokémon so I’m off to not watching Pokémon >:). Since theres also stuff like jumping and blocking it would also make it look much more dynamic ( I would also need to explain the amazing inability of blocking for enemies though). Due to me being a one-man band I cannot do voice acting, my microphone is a gaming headset one that costs 30 and comes with rgb lights that are actually just g, its clear but not good for professional stuff, also some characters are male and I cant do that voice B))). So you know those animated comics? The format will be similar to that but with more movement.

example above
I can write neatly I swear

also the characters will probably speak with sound effects if I can actually bloody find some fitting ones

I’ll try and reply with an update when I think I have a substantial amount of material that warrants an update.

Now the first thing you want to know when someone is making something is their skillz so everything beyond this point is just my flexing my stuff B))

and I cant upload one of them, its 600 kilobytes >:((.

I cant upload anything I swear, anythings I’ll have to upload youtube videos. I was originally was going to do everything as a gif for the nice presentation >:(

I cant upload youtube videos correctly what is this >:(( ok just judge all of my skillz of off that one gif and my youtube channel yeah thx

ngl this sounds fucking A M A Z I N G
if you do it, i personally wish you good luck

[anon5868932]

This post will list the things I’ve done before this post.
I created three characters, originally based off of the concept of what I think are the main three people who play adventure story. Changed because I dont know.
one character is based off of lileye girl, a character I created back in 2018/2019 as basically my self-insert fan character for adventure story, another was a big ego sweat, and another was someone to jam with the lileye girl.
Lileye girl Jammer becomes a druid, Lileye girl design changes so instead of the look in game of when you wear the petal mask that you get from lileye’s or daiseyes it acts more like hair (shown in the post with the thing saying leaf rustle). The sweat is still a sweat.

I change the apprentice outfits on druids to look like bard from wandersong idk why.
I change how druids look in general to look like wizards with guns idk why.
I wonder if this is too far off the path of the TRUE ADVENTURE STORY.

I wonder about the world and the ramifications of druids being literally able to create life, and these are early game enemies. Imagine how strong the later ones would be?

Taking an idea I made before because apparently I love the idea of magic being based off of energy and the ramification of creating and manipulating life, is that changing life, you know what i’m going to bring up my notes

'Maelstrom was created by druids, corruption was created by druids. Druids mean man.

Experimenting with life created the corruption, Maelstrom is not one ‘person’. Rather a hivemind of druids who’ve befallen the fate of being in a huge group all the time.

Druids always were in secluded areas, focusing on honing their skills to help protect and strengthen the alive. Druids do not live in usual towns, villages and cities as they believe that will taint their view on life, making it so they see certain life forms more ‘valuable’.

Corruption is made out of life magic, it can create and warp it to its hearts content. The same as life. Life is generally seen as more favourable, many calling the life forms they warped as ‘blessed’ as it makes the creature stronger, like corruption.

Corruption tends to warp a lot more than blessed, druids prefer to not change physical traits that much and if they do they prevent the creature from breeding. ’

Also I remember seeing a suggestion about adding ‘blessed’ as an opposing side to corruption and I’m riding off of that until I die.

Right now I’m in a tough situation however, I am currently in a fork or on the fence idk how you call it.

I could continue building upon the adventure story world, warping it so much it looks very different from what you see in game.

Or I could try to stick to the source material more, think of it as an adaptation vs a remaster or something.
so thats why I need your answers, what direction will this be taken in?

• Make this your own thing
• Keep to the original
• idk i’m not the one doing this

Anyways BACK TO THE CHARACTERS

The druid character is called Boot, the flower ‘girl’ (I do not even know how flower humans work and I’m not going to ask how) is called Yarr! (used to be Yaar!) and the cunt is called DEX.

Boot was originally a curious learner who shows a positive and cheery personality, however I changed it to a much more silent knowledgeable learner who shows seriousness in what they do even if its not warranted to create distinction between Boot and Yarr! as Yarr! is an energetic naive and curious learner, obsessed with the material world, even the little things. Dex is still a cunt.

HOWEVER after doing even more thinking, wouldn’t Boot’s role be Abby’s role in A.S or at least similar? They are both druids, wouldn’t they serve the same purpose to the story? But I cant ‘boot’ Abby, shes too iconic I mean have you SEEN the art channel when she was announced.

So Boot’s been booted, and there is now only two main characters, a dick and a plant. Does not sound good.

So DEX’s character, hard to write for me. Also where would DEX live? I originally thought Mapleburg but I couldn’t find a job for them. So I thought about it, revamped their personality to be less dick-ish while still having sarcastic remarks.

DEX is now a messenger, tired and drained from their job of running about and delivering news that would take weeks to arrive. Losing will to do anything, they arrive at Mapleburg, to deliver the daily news. While they do that the Mayor tells them about the bandit problem and asks DEX to deliver a news letter to some sort of Kingdom or whatever that Mapleburg is connected to like a family that kingdom’s the parent Mapleburgs the kid, for help. However DEX seeks an opportunity, even with a waning sense of hope they still have an idol, a hero, or a life they want to lead. The life of a baddie beating ass kicking adventurer, a life full of adrenaline rushes, babes and fangirls, and whats a better way to become a hero that HUMBLY beating up thieves who probably do it because they were indoctrinated into B.K’s thief group due to bad circumstances or something. This tangles them into the life they wanted, but is it really a good life? NO not at all.

[anon5868932]

Oh yeah and also if any of you guys know what music or sound effects are used in Adventure Story that would help a lot thx

[anon5868932]

TL:DR
Two characters, DEX and Yarr!
Dex used to be your average hopeful kid, stopping their education or the equivalent in the A.S universe to find a job as quick as they can, to start their dream of becoming a hero! Choosing a messenger as you would travel along the lands and meet all sorts of interesting people, just like an adventurer! Crushed by the tediousness of their work mixed with the work environment. They are slowly giving up and only do the job for the money with the waning sense of hope for their dream, until they find an opportunity in Mapleburg and do what they can to get it, and secure their future as a hero.

Yarr! is like a human Flower hybrid, a more humanoid intelligent daiseye/lileye. Created by corruption as my idea of corruption is warped souls or whatever.

Blessed is essentially corruption, but ‘better’

Druids are secluded and live in dense forests or groves or something else nature as they dont want to value life as better or worse, and try to live in small groups in densely populated areas ( populated with bugs, animals basically anythings thats not a human ).

Abby is still… real.

[Burgr]

i think this is a really cool idea, i hope you’re able to make it happen!!!

[anon5868932]

hopefully but even if I don’t I get a bunch of A.S related fan characters I get to stuff into fan-art

[anon5868932]

when I have the time to I’ll release some art regarding the two characters and get more descriptive with them, I’m best at writing when I have no god damn idea what I’m writing thank you school >:(.

[anon5868932]

OH YEAH extra note for the poll: Keep to the original doesn’t mean 100% adaptation! It just means being harder with it than Make this your own thing and Make this your own thing doesn’t mean being a loose interpretation, more or less revamping the thing.

[anon5868932]

Hey and also enemies designs, even if its the adaptation I’m still changing the designs a bit to fit my style and my interpretation for example bandits looking like malnourished teens and burglars looking like buff malnourished not teens. Lileyes and Daiseyes being a bit stumpy than they usually are, tanglers… the almighty being. Can I really change it? Can I improve perfection… If ’ Keep with the original ’ wins then Druids will get their old design back, Bandits will wear shirts and trousers ( If its make it your own thing then they will wear one tunic/long shirt and burgulars will have skirts. Now this sounds like a big vetex moment, BUT I HAVE A REASON FOR THE MASCULINE HUMANOIDS TO WEAR FEMININE ATTIRE! back in ye old days boys would wear skirts instead of shorts during puberty as making a bunch of shorts that will fit for only a couple of months is costly, I’ve stretched this a bit to be even more cHEAPER! Bandits are disposable and weak, so why give them proper clothing am I right? since burgulars are more higher they get the skirts and bandit king keeps with that trouser drip, hopefully this wont sway the votes hahasd ).

[anon5868932]

Ok I also realised another thing, if I do do this, and I reach the point of the end of the game. What do I do?

• Stop it there and wait for vetex to update (if he ever will), or try and get info about what it could have been if it was continued
• Try and interpret it from there
• Stop it there, and add a little ending? (optional, the ending part)
• idk man I just want to see 24 frames of TANGLER

Also I do have some ideas on what RATZO ROCKS could be, I’m thinking a port fidelio/nemract kinda situation (Port fidelio from Vestaria and Nemract from Wynncraft) with Birds as the fishers since most creatures seem not to be human. However after that? Dont really know, I have a basic idea of how it COULD go but not really a concrete one.

@anon5868932

Stop it there and wait for vetex to update

You’ll die of old age before an update is dropped.

[anon5868932]

damn ur right

[anon5868932]

Kinda insignificant but the current name of the series is Adventure Story: Dawn of the Magical Adventure Heroes. AS:DotMAH. When I had the idea I made a test comic kinda thing with what would be DEX ( at the time named Xavier but I changed it to be more ambiguous ) Boot and Yarr!. Yarr at this time was based off of my character from 2019


Boot was still in an ‘idk’ phase so this design was kinda up in the air.
When I played AA me and my relatives played together, we joined up on a sailboat called ‘the magical adventure ship’ and we had a clan ‘dawn of the turtles’, we liked turtles. Since I didn’t really have much of an idea I made it so the two proposed names were that.
The general idea for the dynamics was, Xavier’s a dry, sarcastic cunt who thinks hes the better on out of the team. He thinks that his way is the best way. Boot ( didn’t actually have a name around this time ) was a supporter to Yarr!'s ( Not their actual name at this point ) antics, but was more mature.

I finally got the balls to scan stuff so you can get NOT BLURRY IMAGES woah

[Album] SecCrETTT cOmMIicicis!!!! Tests!!!

couldn’t upload most of them so imgur is back to save me.

[anon5868932]

yo, I got the fancy title up.
So the way I get characters is that I have a concept, draw it out, write about it, think and refine.
Probably not the best, but works for me. After thinking about it, DEX being a depressed overworked teen might not be the best approach for adventure story, sure it’d be relatable but not the best character for a cartoony wacky world, would probably seem insensitive if I did that lol.

So DEX is just, tired. I guess. I wanted to do some sort of storyboard to practice DEX.

HOLY CRAP I am starting to really hate this thing. imgur.com/a/8Ed6aC1 for some reason when it has the http:// it ends up as an unplayable video?

^ Boards and colour keyes here.

Then I was like, BRO I DONT ACTUALLY HAVE A BLOODY DESIGN FOR DEX I JUST REALISED.

So DEX supposed to be a messenger, so I thought PAPER BOY.

these were the first tries.

testing out colour and inking style, couple stray pixels here and there that I wasn’t bothered to clean up.

outlines are a bit rough as they were sorta rushed, but you can kinda see what I was trying to go for. Then I thought of that sonic mania animation I kept on seeing because that thing looks REALLY COOL ngl, I haven’t played any sonic games, nor am I interested in sonic but that things cool right. The colours the animations the energy, wonderful.

So I tried different styles, AS is supposed to be a cartoony world after all. So a more cartoony design seems appropriate. The ones sketched with black arms are inspired by dont starve since the art style is amazing. the one with no neck is where I started to incorporate more ‘paper boy’ aspects into it. Forgot the bag I just realised lmao. I liked it more than the rest so I decided to try out some colours with it.

lotsa stray pixels, ignore that. When I was picking the colours I thought of having clothes picked by DEX himself being blue, while the company uniform is brown/orange. Why? uhh symbolism cuz uhh the compony try and make it seem like the epoeple working tehre is happy with hAPPY colorus but they are actually sad inside idk. The other ones used strictly either blue or orange tones as you can see, so I mixed them together with this one since most paper boy pics I got wore brown/yellow jackets, one of them had a blue shirt so I was like ’ damn it can work’ .

However when looking at it I thought it looked too paper boy, Adventure Story seems generally modern. Yet this doesn’t look modern. So you know wandersong right? Cool short game, good energy style story and stuff. The Bard’s design looks kinda old-ish but the finger-less gloves makes it look like a modern cosplay, so I wanted to do something like that.

I made them wear trousers.
thats it I didn’t know what to do.
Also boots.

tried a clean, no outline style, but I dont think it works as well as with the outlines so got trashed.

So we got our boy DEX,

So, time to stylise the other characters round this right? B).
Yes, but I also gotta think about something else, THE BACKGROUNDS. I already have an idea luckily.

So look at this thing I probably made 2 or 1 years back on ms paint, the style is clean and colourful. I think that could work well with the characters, a bit less vibrant than this one though of course. I’m also thinking about incorporating clear shapes,

this as an example.

[anon5868932]

Hey does anyone know any website that can organise work in a clear and easy way for other people to see? Scrolling through this it looks pretty messy.

[anon5868932]

random YARR! pic. I lost my drawing pen so I’ll probably not be doing animation because I cant do that thing without sketching and using a mouse makes me not sketch for some reason. So I’ll probably be trying to conceptualise the world and replaying AS to refresh my memory because I barely remember the start of the game and mapleburg. Also the name right now is still Adventure story: Dawn of the magical adventure heroes which is kinda not good as its a mouthful so if you have any ideas help, I dont just want to call it ‘adventure story’ to make it clear this is unofficial.]
also heres the character pages as of now
jk forum hates images >:((
