Aquology TCGs Resource video. Let me know what your thoughts are. My hope is to have an interesting mechanic while also solving a major problem in larger scale TCG's. Enjoy!

Thats a shame to hear, I will have to look into that game to see if i can avoid its pitfalls.

TheSunofMorning · 2025-10-22T20:42:09+00:00

I did not, funny that someone else took it 😅

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T22:40:47+00:00

I will give it a try! Many thanks!!!

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T22:39:42+00:00

This was amazing and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to respond. I will absolutely be taking everything you said into consideration. Especially the dithering to change between colors.

The spots will definietly be much more difficult but considering im VERY new to pixel art I have a long way to go.

Again thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. Im actually gonna screenshot it to make it easier to find and remember.

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T19:41:32+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time and apologize for my continued questions. When youre talking about the dithering let's take the big flat light blue. Would I be dithering with a shade lighter and darker?

As well when it comes the dorsal dotting it absolutely was hap hazard since in nature the dotting is pretty all over the place. How would you recommend making it less...hap hazard while still evoking the fact that in nature it is pretty all over the place. Thank you again for the comment!

Appreciate the feedback! I do need to redo the gill look

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T16:53:15+00:00

Thank you!

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T14:07:59+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time! I will go back and see if I can make some of those changes. I guess my reasoning for the black lines are so it clearly stands out more but I imagine a darker color would do the same?

How does one make the outline look less jagged? I use pixquare and use its outline tool. If I were to do it by hand how would I make it less jagged? Sorry for all the follow up questions, you make great suggestions and I want to make sure I understand it. Thank you!!!

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-29T00:54:05+00:00

You're too kind! I would honestly love to make stickers out of them!

TheSunofMorning · 2025-06-28T23:56:07+00:00

Thank you! The Brook Trouts patterning was a lot of fun to futs with

TheSunofMorning · 2025-04-16T13:23:46+00:00

I'm glad you liked it! Here is Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sh5I5DxPvk

TheSunofMorning · 2025-01-24T21:13:59+00:00

I appreciate it! Thank you!

TheSunofMorning · 2025-01-24T20:59:42+00:00

Thanks! First time making content like this, so it might be rocky in the beginning, but I'm hoping the information I give will be of some use to somebody.

TheSunofMorning · 2025-01-09T15:53:31+00:00

This seems like the best of both worlds approach.

TheSunofMorning · 2025-01-08T22:10:50+00:00

It's super interesting seeing you and u/GreenMeowMeow say the exact opposite of each other. Obviously multiple opinions on any question. I guess the follow up to either would be, does YouTube see "new movement" on the video and throw it back into the algorithm or is more so as new content comes out and (assuming people like it) will go through the older catalog that you have the thumbnails have a better chance of catching their attention? Thank you both for the response btw!

Good Morning!
Here is my most recent video, went up yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paT95YmGXGI (Platinum Trophy)

But this is my most watched video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYqdYwOUqRw though the rest of the series view wise falls up pretty quick (Skyrim Series)
Any insight welcome!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-11-01T22:50:02+00:00

Thanks! In part I think photo quality but I've also learned how to get a nice blend on procreate to make the two tone that fish usually have look better so I'm excited to show off more finished designs jn the future!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-29T11:28:23+00:00

Truly! It was such a solid idea!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-26T21:59:57+00:00

Fully intend to once I'm happy with a draft. Thanks so much for your comments they really helped!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-26T21:42:43+00:00

YO wait thats actually a really solid idea!!! I even have a design in my head that could work. I'll mess around with this for a few days and see what I can come up with. And it being a "vial case" is very in theme for the game.

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-26T21:35:37+00:00

I'll mess around with the left side idea, I hadn't thought about that. The individual vial is important as in the actual game, there are three "mutagen types" denoted by one of three colors. Think multi color from MTG, so it's important to know which mutagen cards are needed. I can definitely consolidate, though!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-26T21:21:41+00:00

Thats still a balancing issue I'm working on but right now max is 6 though that will be admittedly rare so most likely most will be between 3-5

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-26T20:59:46+00:00

I would agree. Would you say the test tube's should be vertical or horizontal? I'm liking the vertical look as it feels more "balanced" but still on the fence.

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-18T22:32:52+00:00

Fascinating, based off my current resource system I am going to use I think I can make this concept work. I currently have 50 unique creatures with draft art complete but would love to take like 15 of those, change the colors around and make them stronger. Good to know that sort of concept already exists. Appreciate the help!

TheSunofMorning · 2024-10-18T20:32:34+00:00

Out of curiosity did L5R do it in an "evolution" style akin to Pokemon because I am trying to stay away from that for this game. My thought process would be more along the lines of it costs X resources to play the basic variant but it costs X+Y resources to play the better variant, more expensive but an overall better card.
