seems we died again eh?
What did they mean by this?
>>542612159>giant metal object attached to her headyeah no wonder
>>542612159Fatty
>>542612159Sakurai probably want Tiff but was forced to put in Susie, so he's doing things like running her over in the direct and calling her fat.
>>542631809>sakurai browses /kdg/>sakurai is aware of tiffvssusieposting
>>542608848What do you mean this is the 200th thread
>>542643607The passage of time is unrelenting
>>542610082Fitting given the season I suppose.
Soos
don't you go dying on me now will ya?!
>another fucking pokemon leakstill begging for someone, anyone to leak whatever HAL kept of GCN in cold storage out to the world
>>542610082Good thing our 200th wasn't themed after this >>542612159
>>542608848>200th>themed after final boss of the game that started this iteration of the generalPoetic in a way, really,
>>542667161In the end, we all returned to the Forgotten Land.
>>542666193Hire me nintendo
>>542666193gamefreak really needs to up it's security they have been hacked like what, 3 to 5 times now?kinda serves them right for the shitty business practices they have been doing the last decade or so.
>>542666193>>542671519It's not really "another" leak, more like a Part 2 of last year's. Leaker withheld some info since it might interfere with Game Freak's plans, but promised to show it once Z-A was out. He returned shortly after someone dumped the game.So there's only two of them: the Gigaleak (2018 Nintendo breach) and the Teraleak (2024 Game Freak breach). The data can get spread out over the course of months or even years due to various factors, most notably Discord shittery
I hate nu-pokemon why cant gamefreak be like HAL?
>>542666193like another anon said it's more of a continuation of last year's leak due to the leaker being a faggot and not dumping anything around z-a or the future until it released or some dumb shit like that.>>542672832not everyone is as committed to their franchise as HAL is to kirby. even some of the worse romhacks like dark rising or snakewood probably have more care than most of gamefreak's post gen 5 games and i actually like snakewood in its weird nonsensical ride
>>542672832pokemon has been mishandled from the very beginning, gamefreak/TPC most definitely has a toxic culture within it's walls (mostly toxic positivity), there is alot of issues between them still thinking they are at the heights of poke-mania, the higher up's going on power trips, the pokemon card fiasco (which is still an issue) the lawsuits, milking nostalga, shithead/arrogant developers, glitches and bugs, etcit's the exact problem sega has/had, succuess made them blind to the truth of their issues, you dare not speak about the emperors new clothes.
>>542676231>it's the exact problem sega has/had, succuess made them blind to the truth of their issues, you dare not speak about the emperors new clothes.but anon, open worlds and shilling paramount in the racing game are crucial to the future of sonic! they're totally rebooting all those dead franchises you love! and tetris crossovers are crucial to the future of puyo puyo! i'd also bring up the literal toddler show on youtube but we talk about a game that is mainly for the younger demographic itself
But I still do genuinely love mainline Pokemon though...
>>542677820the only good thing Sega does is not go after fan projects>>542681445I stopped buying/caring about it around oras/sun and moon.
>>542687591>the only good thing Sega does is not go after fan projectsIf your name's Sonic sure, they did nuke that Streets of Rage remake and have fairly asinine regulations on stuff like Persona if memory serves.>stopped buying/caring about it around oras/sun and moon.I guess that's fair, to this day the Pokemon games just hit a spot for me that genuinely no other game manages to, it's the only RPG series I can fully immerse myself into in terms of the "roleplaying" aspect, I somewhat resent the technical hiccups because outside of that I've loved what the games have done, I think Violet straight up has the best story and gameplay in the series among other things, just wish they'd be alloted more QA time so more people could see the genuinely amazing parts of the newer games.
>>542688159My guess is why they don't go after Sonic is that japan absolutely despises blue needle mouse and would rather just not deal with it. (not that I blame them considering the...vocal fan base's reputation proceeds itself.) but since he makes too much money they can't kill him outright. (nick toon stuff being in sonic feels like a humiliation ritual kek)pokemon is a billion dollar franchise they could at least try to make it not look like a shovel ware "best value" game but they won't because the majority of that fan base are sycophants because member berries, you are allowed to like pokemon or anything else but you should still look at it from an objective lens as best you can, most of the fault lies with the suits pushing too many games out in such a short amount of time, it just isn't viable, really the entire gaming industry is imploding on itself due to bloated budgets and crunch, somethings got to give sooner or later with how things have been going. (rip xbox)I'd go as far as to say the gamecube ones look better, stylistically speaking and it did dexit without issue albeit stealthly so they really don't have an excuse (granted they did recycle the models/animations from stadium/2/gold/sliver)sakurai is right, game development is hard with how much of a shit show it really is it would not shock me if we got another crash in the next decade or two
>>542691893I think I politely disagree on the looks of the games, I think most of the issue comes from the inconsistency. There's locales I find genuinely stunning in all the Switch games (off the top of my head, I love the Slumbering Weald in SwSh, and adore all of Area Zero in SV). You can get some really nice sights in the games, just wish they'd give them more time so everything reaches that upper echelon. I'll disagree on GameCube, although, I was always slightly mixed on the art direction of those personally. I do really like that every Switch Pokemon has a distinct visual style, you can see a good amount of experimentation even within the same system, with Lets Go being more watercolors, SwSh looking more like CG anime, BDSP being more diorama-adjacent, Legends Arceus aiming for a traditional Japanese painting look, and SV being the more "realistically detailed" of them all. I think the games as they are ARE genuinely pretty great, just... wish the tech got more spitshine y'know? Although I guess that's always been the case with Pokemon, I mean compare the DS games with the FF3 and 4 remakes on the same system, same with GBA and Minish Cap. I think there's enough good in them to still make them more than worthwhile, but I can sadly see why some others don't see it that way.
>>542692854it's a tricky situation to be in for sure, I don't rabidly hate the series I think it needs a bit more time in the oven, maybe they should consider going back to sprites and go for a HD 2D thing or something else, I can't help feel there's a bit of "the COD mines" going on regardless of quality perceived or otherwise, maybe they need some new blood to help things along more.(minish cap had some fantastic sprite work, hardly anyone seems to talk about the capcom Zelda games very much.)

YOU ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW NOW, SAY SOMETHING FUNNY.
Randomly felt like drawing a chubby witch susie for halloween
>>542710765Tiff is fat.
>>542711421This is very nice but also I feel like I need glasses looking at this.
>>542712071Sorry, tried going for a painted look
>>542711421the thicc'ed witch of the west.
>>542711421Very cute outfit! Susie as a witch is adorable, when it comes to Halloween costumes I think things like Susie being a witch, nurse or mad scientist are best. My only suggestion is that when you go for a more painterly look, try using stronger contrasts between values and define the separation of lines more.
>>542713308Thanks, do you think >>542651767 is a better look?
>>542713510Do you mean artistically or as a MetaSusiefag?
>>542713640Artistically, also I donât really care about metasusie
>>542713842Well, from a purely artistic standpoint it's pretty good too. My suggestions would be practicing a bit more with line art, such as shaving the ends for a cleaner look and getting a bit more stable with your strokes so it's a little less wobbly.As for coloring, the color choices are great and it shows you have a good fundamental grasp on coloring textures like gold such as using a dark brown for the inner part that mimmics a reflection and using cream for rim lighting for your current skill level. However, for certain things like Susie's hair it lacks contrast in where shadows are casted. This is also a slight anatomical error, but with the way her bikini bra is drawn on it looks like her whole tit is attached to her armpit, you did good by adding a curve that suggests depth to her tits as a whole instead of only showing one tit but I think if you lengthen the line meant to be her back area and added and extra bump for her other shoulder (similar to the curve you made of her other breast), increased the length of her torso a little while pulling a line from her waist upward it'd look a lot better.
>...>He is late.>...Even moreso than usual.>I suppose I should not be surprised, given his behavior, I would be more impressed if he managed to approach this star without engaging in a few brawls along his path.>...>But it is still unusually slow by his standards.>I believe it has been 25 or so years by the standards of this star since those thieves imprisoned me.>...>What a waste.>Normally we have the decency to aid the other on struggling invasions in a timelier fashion, it would take a year at most.>So I have to wonder just what could be taking him so long to arrive.>...>I shudder at the idea he might have been sealed away, himself.>Surely not.>It would lead to an imbalance neither of us could allow, were us both to stop hunting for far too long.>He surely is merely distracted by his brutish means.>...>Certainly.>I feel as though I should worry about the fact I cannot hear his mind, try as I might...>Yet...>It must be a temporary interruption, nothing else.>...>It must.>...>Brother, I can only hope you did not meet the fate I did.>...>I hope you will tell me you did not.>Sooner... or later.Been meaning to write something with Elfilis addressing his brother since SCW came out but it's been a topic I've been conflicted on since beating the game, it's a bit hard trying to reconcile Elfilis having any level of care for anyone but himself after writing him as entirely self-centered for a solid 3 years, however, I do feel like the figure with the 2 of them together and the fact Meteon is stated to have gone Elfilis's way after Elfilis's failure to invade the Forgotten Land, there HAS to be some genuine familial care between the 2, despite how objectively "cosmically mighty" they are. I definitely want to avoid falling into the "villain loses dignity over caring about relatives" trope since I think it's a diservice to Elfilis, so it's a tightrope making sure the brothers' bond feels authentic but not out of character.
>>542714920>>542713842samefag, I realized my words may have come off as a little rude and pretentious and/or hard to understand without visual so I made one. Had to add some things.>>542720581Really like the cross hatching on Elfilis, it reminds me of those really good Japanese flipnotes.
>>542721463I'm not the only one that hears Heavy Lobster's theme as saying>HEA-VY>LOB-STERright?
In other news, working on the collab, still a bit torn on what level to base it on. I'm 100% going with the art gallery idea, but I'm not sure if I should make it World of Drawcia given Canvas Curse's whole theme, or if the Wild World mansion would be better seeing as it already has a bunch of portraits and... would be way more manageable to draw, World of Drawcia is aggressively Kumazaki and I'm frankly not quite sure I'd be able to properly replicate it.>>542721313>reminds me of those really good Japanese flipnotesHigh praise, I'll take it, thank you! I've been trying to experiment a bit since I feel like I just oughta force myself to draw more often than I've been recently, pretty happy with how the hatching on that one turned out.
>>542721313It is very late and I do not care how this makes me look, I absolutely NEED her to sit on me.
>>542721313>redrawing the drawfag's oc and attempting to outshine him
>>542721795i've heard that from a lot of people. no idea if it was intended by the composer though
>>542710765 dinner
>>542720581very good stuff, given they were both trapped by the starries at one point that'd be something also to explore too. (at least according to what elifin said anyway, seems he retained some level of telepathy after they got split.
>>542713842Based.
FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIEFAT SUSIE FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIEFAT FAT FAT FATEAT A SALAD, YOU FAT BITCH!
>>542721313NTA but as someone who's not artistically inclined these are my thoughts. Great Susie, though.
>>542721313Dude, I literally did not think you sounded pretentious at all. Thank you for the tips and the drawing to go along with them
No matter her weight, a real hero can carry any woman.
>>542726273Wonder what's for it
wake up
Apparently the Robobot armor's material weights 8.6 tons so the heavyweight label isn't totally unfounded
>>542783896>8.6 tonsAh, this reference again.
>>542786752it's funny how many times they have done it.
>>542783896 >>542786752 compared to kirby for sure... i've been looking at AFV total weights for mecha design purposes, for humans i think it'd be more of a light transport? picrel is about 7.24 tons for instance and can only survive fire from rifle ammo at most
>>542753523 Based
>>542789282Haltmann proxy wars...
>>542793947keeby
>>542723510and the shipfag had to insert shipfaggotry into it too
>>542786752HWC also has specifically 860k employees. It's pretty small for a company pretty much spanning a planet but it has to be done
>>542733515Fair point there, although, the thing with Elfilis being sealed by Starries too is still... Odd to me. I need to think on it more for sure.
FIVE WEEKS
>>542835190But that's five weeks away!>N2DDDwhat does it mean
>>542836487Nintendo (Switch) 2 DeDeDe, clearly
>>542835190Where direct
>>542848673soon(tm)
Starman can carry any weight, no matter how heavy. Gravity shall not be Susie's enemy for as long as Starman is around
>>542849501cute batamons
>>542854720speaking of strange clones, what the hell was the deal with the Kirby clones in dreamland 1?
>>542857953I have a feeling the boss doors in DL1 are actually magic paintings. The room you enter them in is remarkably similar to Paint Roller's arena in Adventure.
Need Susie accidentally sitting on Meta Knightâs face, breaking his mask instantly from the sheer force of her ass.

The sakurai manga is here.https://x.com/famitsu/status/1978657247216759287
>>542876302shut up tiff
>>542876302based tiff
>>542876479 the WHAT
>>542884313Manga based on Sakurai's life. I read one based on Yuji Horii and the creation of Dragon Quest once, it's an interesting way to do a documentary.
>>542896591Maybe manga was very influential to Sakurai.
>>542899486why'd they draw him with cunty shoes
cmon just announce the fucking second direct already
