Fun fact, it's actually the very first one I made for @retroredrawn.bsky.social Johto! The night version came a few weeks later, as I felt it could be great to honor Pokemon GSC's day/night cycle. The night one got a lot more traction (and was freebooted a lot more)

Yep, pretty much the case! It's either (soft) NDAs or just like more technical stuff (new assets mainly) that I guess won't be really interesting unless I make some actual scenes or promotional pics with it

Thank you so much! I believe Rome is one of the cities that falls the most into the "magical realism" category. It's sad and beautiful and surprising in many ways. Left my heart there and wanted to convey that a bit! Even if there's no actual magic, there's always this specific mood I can't grasp!

Hauahauaha ma dai! Io son toscano, nato e cresciuto (trapiantato a Roma qualche anno, ora di nuovo in Toscana) e devo ammettere che non sei la prima che dall'acronimo tira fuori, ad esempio, dei discreti "inni al signore"

Per me è "Posto della Memoria", per il musicista è "Posto di M***a" ma Roma la si può solo amare e subire, a mio avviso! :'P

I wish I could, but I am a bit burnt and still have lots of work going on so I am not joining atm, I feel like I would end up requiring extra time... but if any slots are left open in the future I'd love to pick one!

Thank you so much for all the love and apreciation! Here's two static pics with the setting and the whole spooky cast together!

Incredible (and slightly worrying, as usual for kirby)
The Bugzzy thirst trap was not on my bingo card either

Hehe, my actual reference for the overall feeling is a little mix of Vinquette hall from Sword of Mana and Magus Castle from CT, but the true main inspiration comes from a movie: I recently rewatched Crimson Peak and Allerdale Hall is one of my dream movie sets!

Could it be one of the ghastly denizens putting a spell on you?

Me too, me too.
At this point a good 50% of the process is coming up with places I want to live in 😶‍🌫️

Thank you so much! I got a bit carried away with the different pokemon species (and ideas to animate them) so it may be a tad too much X')
