What in incredible influx of enthusiasm! Thank you, I am very grateful for such kind words of my work.

To clear things up; There is no steam page. There is no EA planned. This is so very far away from being a thing anyone will be playing.

Right now, it's just the goofing of a guy learning UE5.

They had an disagreement, and she's totally not being a petty little shit.

Certainly there is levels of artistic bullshittery involved. But she does have a level of synth-flesh and synth-fur on the chassis.

I've been wrestling with how much mechanics I want to show. It is important that she is mechanical, but I also don't want to overdo it.

Thanks. Since Lucky isn't actually visible to others, I like this way of representing her physicality.

While I don't agree at the praise, I will say that it involves drawing lots of bad art first.

Clover herself has been changing considerably in the last twelve months.

There was an image I did back when I first revealed Lucky like that. I'm not sure how canon it is now in my planned story, but it's still a fun drawing.

Lore bits;

Clover doesn't really have a home. She's been crashing in the upstairs loft above Frank's workshop/clinic. He calls it the 'Patient Observation Room' but it's mostly just a comfy chair.

Lucky doesn't have much to do, when Clover sleeps. So she has to get creative with her time.

Hard to say at this time, sorry.

Cherub @polygoncherub.bsky.social · 1d

Mostly though, Lucky isn't able to do much with the body beyond subconscious manipulation. In particular, is Clover isn't paying attention to her left arm, Lucky can pilot it effectively, but that doesn't seem to apply to the rest of the limbs.

1) I imagine there are functions there are components and premium options for estimated facial animation. Clover just doesn't like them. Says they aren't 'honest'. Lucky doesn't because she enjoys the task.

2) Much like two roommates. They each have their own rooms and common areas.

It's a very long list

Cherub @polygoncherub.bsky.social · 1d

They've been together so long it's basically THEIR body at this point.

But if we want to get all lore on this;

But I literally know nothing. This is my first toe dip in 2d anim!
Unless you count flash tweening from 25 years ago.
