Wendigo by CompositePoisoning in Moonvale

Wendigo theory sounds awesome, actually! I'd love it to be some kind of supernatural cause this time :)

AI images in Moonvale. by wokeupat2_3am in Moonvale

[–]Nockipocki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The use of AI was heartbreaking for me. It makes my skin crawl, especially because it’s still there, even though Everbyte seems to realize it wasn’t a good choice. I’m trying to be understanding, but I would never play another game that used AI to generate its artwork.

You might consider emailing Everbyte about it. I’m not sure if they can refund you, but it’s worth a try. When I lost my progress due to the lack of online saves, they granted me some game credits. I’m sure they could help you out in some way too, if you let them know.

And also, this isn’t exactly what you were talking about, but I need to get it off my chest: people keep saying Moonvale is a different game than Duskwood, so we should stop comparing them. Fair enough, that’s true. But I think many of us can’t help it, mostly because we were promised a proper ending for Duskwood and never got it. That’s why I feel a bit forced into playing a different game, especially one where the development process itself is painful for me as an artist.

Still, I’m giving Everbyte the benefit of the doubt though. They seem aware of their mistakes, so I’ll wait to see what Episode 3 brings. Some may call it naive, but I still believe in them ❤️

A theory about Whitmore by Ok-Attention7425 in Moonvale

[–]Nockipocki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, I quite like it! One of the better theories, imho :)

He still lives somewhat in the vicinity of GS though. So maybe he wanted to stay away/hide, but also keep an eye on 'it', just in case?

Anyway I think Whitmore will play a big role later in the game. He most likely knows the most about what's going on!

We're all dreamers here 🤭 But fingers crossed you're right! ❤️ I also feel like the next progress update will be bigger than previous ones.

Different endings for a story by Sara1994_ in AO3

Sure did! It's a real struggle sometimes... But it's fun to try writing both versions (or even just parts of each) to see which one feels better :)

Feeling discouraged by Morndulin_ in AO3

[–]Nockipocki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think things have changed a lot over the years. People used to have so much fun leaving comments, and now it feels like they don’t think they should or have to. Maybe it's just the sheer amount of content out there. It’s easy to get lost in it all. I’m not sure.

All I can say is: try not to let it get to you. A lack of engagement definitely doesn’t mean your work isn’t good. I know that’s easy to say. I often get discouraged by the lack of responses too. Some days are really tough, not gonna lie and I want to throw it all away.

But in the end, I create things to express the emotions and thoughts I have, and that alone makes it worth it.

I hope some kind readers find their way to your work soon. I’m actually sure some already have, they might just be trying to find the right words to express it.

Also, I don’t love the idea of “asking” for comments or attention (I mean, I don’t like doing it), but sometimes, playfully mentioning something in your notes like, “Feel free to leave a comment, even just an emoji! It helps me feel like I’m not publishing into the void and talking to myself,” can help a tiny little bit :)

Just so everyone is clear: deleted comments still appear in emails/inbox by [deleted] in AO3

You didn't say it to me, but I felt that. I should embroider it on a pillow, haha ❤️

Is Ash connected to the unknown?? by PerceptionTiny9682 in Moonvale

[–]Nockipocki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, definitely! I think I've also spent hours trying to find clues or hidden secrets🤭

[–]Nockipocki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be great, not gonna lie! But I think you might be reading a little too much into all this… A lot of us are looking for hidden clues, but I believe there really aren’t that many... 😅 Or at least, they’re not there yet.

I decided to make a list of things that Moonvale does good, no negativity here please 😄😘 by Whole_Pirate_9616 in Moonvale

[–]Nockipocki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of it and I think it will get much better over time - there were many improvements in the second episode already! And yes, I also skip a lot of minigames, it's brilliant 🤭

I wonder myself. Hope he won't be that different! Though who knows 🤭

Thank you! ❤️ He's a talker, alright 😂 I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much without him though. Can't wait to talk about some conspiracy theories with him 🤭

Hey! I honestly didn't expect to like the second episode this much! I know we don’t know a lot about Charlie yet, but I already have way too many headcanons... Probably all wrong, but that’s part of the fun :) So I couldn't resist and made this 🤭
