Zormego’s Idea/Writing Hodgepodge

Zormego · July 30, 2025, 8:48pm

Funny how three months later, The Loud House Revamped and its sequel would be deleted, reduced to atoms. It became lost media.

…or at least the sequel did. Somebody put up the entirety of the first one on the Internet Archive. Might sound fucked up, especially given that the world’s been on a censorship parade over the past couple of weeks AND with how I like to follow the lost media scene, but TLH:R really should’ve stayed lost, given that a lot of it is brazenly plagiarized. ~~There’s also another reason that not enough people talk about IMO, y’all can look it up if you want~~

Anyway no update right now, unless y’all want a sneak at something I’ve been writing. I would share some really old ideas I’ve had lying around on my USB, but they’re typed like a really bad wiki article.

I haven’t gotten any work done recently, what the fuck is wrong with me. Oh and this thread now has one anon.

Found a furry RP game a few days ago; thing is that I don’t know the first thing about RP stuff (aside from how it’s kind of like theater stuff, which sucks for me since I was never a theater kid, along with memes). It does have a nice character creator, though; made a purple wolf boyo who I really like.

The photo mode is pretty fun. I just wish there was some sort of way to get more precise shots, or a portrait mode. The best shot I got was this one, with the Black and White filter.

…maybe I should’ve shot for a photography career, heh.

Oh right, y’all come here for ramblings about game ideas. I guess I do have something.

Do y’all remember those old Pokemon games that consisted of walking around a map and finding either stickers or models of other Pokemon so you could play as them, like Pokemon Legends, Pokemon Fighters EX, Pokemon Advanced, or even Pokeblox Meteorite (you’re a real one if you remember that)? I was wondering if I could dabble in making one of those. Monsters of Etheria kind of scratches the itch for an old Battlegrounds-styled creature game, but it feels too modern and is kind of in the grave right now.

Used to play though in my youth, it was fun just dicking around as one the legendaries. But yeah those kind of games probably won’t do well in modern times assuming you care about your game doing well

i didn’t play those games, but it kinda reminds me of sekaiju i think where you find find creatures around the map to play as

Trying to get back into working; figured it might be a good idea to save Energy Magic spells for later, since I’m low on ideas for those. ~~Flavored~~ Element-based Magic is also more fun IMO.

Not sure which of these Wind Magic spells I want to have as the support.

Also might be good to know that I’ve been banished to college now. Had my first class (Anthropology-related) today, and I got a Game Dev-related class coming up, but for some reason I just can’t get tech or sites to work for me when doing anything related to the latter. I can’t join the Discord server I need because the account I had to create under my school email got disabled (before I could even get into the site), and it seems like I need to install so many groupchat-related apps for it.

I also think it’s real weird to force anyone to just hit “accept” on the Terms of Service or Privacy Policies of a bunch of different services; already had to sign up for a groupchat app, some navigator app (I think? I haven’t touched it yet), and now a Google Classroom-like app. Am I the only person in my state who actually gives a piss about reading the ToS and PP? I know, I live in Late-Stage Capitalist America, so any regards for even the concept of retaining your privacy is out the door, but the point still stands.

why is the motivation to work on this coming back please im scared (/j)

Looked at the files for Spell Lists for the first time in a while; still need to finish the Spells for everything that isn’t Darkness or Earth Magic.

Also might rename a couple of these. Really eyeing Current Magic’s name, since when I hear “Current,” I think of current events instead of water or electricity.

Energy Bar Nonsense

Designing how Magic would work before the Energy Bar probably wasn’t the best idea.

Overworld UI

Designing the UI is a nightmare; need to figure out how to make it big enough to read, but not so big that it ends up hiding enemy bullets.

I got dragged to hell (Far Reaches) by a Deer-Dog Furry

I CAN’T FEEL MY BRAIN ANYMORE.

Was talking with my friend @Aletheia and I brought up how I’ve almost never been to the Far Reaches (did it once on my throwaway file, died immediately; Early Access btw); their first thought was naturally “we should change that.”

She’s been to the Far Reaches a bunch, mostly hunting for Moly and Far Reaches animals. I have not, since to me, the meat’s useless, the danger’s too high, and I don’t have enough connections for an Omen Hunting party. Figured I wouldn’t miss out on the chance to see the Far Reaches though, so after my last class of the day, I headed straight into a Bronze Sea server and got to waiting.

Trek to the Far Reaches

First thing was an Assassin trying to hunt me before we even hit the sea border. Ale’s PvP was off and I didn’t realize it meant her ship couldn’t be attacked by him for a bit though, so I may have tried to shoot him for a bit.

Dude ended up sinking my Brig out of spite after we hit I1 or I2.

Red Text Jumpscare

I was mostly sitting in the captain’s quarters while Theia sailed; setup was they would sail, while I would sense (Ult. Energy Sense) to find islands. First five islands sensed? Nothing but trees and volcanoes, the two most useless islands in the Dark Sea.

For the most part, the islands we did come across were lame; they were either tall, spread-out, or both. We found a few Hermes Cauldrons; I brewed Luck Auras, Power Elixirs, Slowness-Poison Supernovas, and Sharkrepel Elixirs with mine, since I didn’t have many other Reagents. Theia also had me use up the one Hephaestus Pot they found, but I sold my Kraken meat after finding out how much it sells for and didn’t have wheat, so I made some C-grade meals.

Rest of it was fun; got mauled by a Thymos, lost track of the ship for about an hour total, and got told to see a Nutritionist because I’m apparently speedrunning Skeleton% without realizing. Most of the animals we found were Thymos, though we did see a few of the Far Reaches Wolves and Boars. I also caught the only Far Reaches Tiger that spawned without Ale realizing.

Oh, and it took about four hours. I got the Insanity IV eyes IRL now. Would I do it agai- yes I would, I have no value for my sanity.

Fire Magic Spell List Update

These were designed when (A) Fire Magic was supposed to expand in size as it traveled and (B) when I was going for a more casual WoM-type of gameplay feel. Fire Magic was also supposed to create cinders that would do chip damage, but that would be hell for any player wanting to graze bullets.

Might give passive expansion to Conflagration Magic, and rework the Cinders concept for Wildfire/Wildflame Magic.

Anyway here’s a Fire Ball update

i am a terrible taxi and i will drag you back to the far reaches to do an omen hunt with another friend one day. you will not be spared.

MrYes · February 4, 2026, 2:52am

Delicious! (I will never touch a single magic)

Ever get held hostage at Fort Montu and somehow live to tell the tale?
Ever then get hunted by somebody whose lag is so massive that their constant teleporting makes them impossible to fight back against?

I know I sound like I’m coping hard, but every time I pass the 1M renown threshold, the next person to target me runs a 25% chance of being the laggiest person on the planet.

Anyway thinking of Energy Magic spell names is my fucking nightmare, the most creative I can get is naming one spell “Alpha Blaster” and its Tier 10 version “Omega Eraser” (if you get the reference I will fanboy out the wazoo)
