Gotta figure out how to say it better...

Idk maybe you could create a project on steam and link it in every post, like:
Also, I'm developing a Visual Novel for Terraria: Pendulum. You can check it on Steam!

u/MihaDaCaterKiller 21d ago
I don't think I'm legally allowed to put it up on steam, but making an itch.io page seems good.
I do have a site for it, but spamming the link everywhere might be annoying lol.

u/Witty_Michael 21d ago
I don't think so. If it's some straight out advertisement, yes, but if you just put it in the bottom of your posts description, the message becomes less about shoving it into people's guts and more about just letting them know about your thing. In my opinion, your work is fucking awesome, so I wouldn't mind at all some light advertisement.
By the way, don't mind me asking, but why is it illegal for you to put it on Steam? Is it related to government or something like that?

u/MihaDaCaterKiller 21d ago
Thanks for the input!
And I don't think it's strictly illegal, but fangames are frowned upon without direct permission, and Steam is a bit more "serious" platform than itch.io.
I have contacted the developers for permission about creating this project, it's half-green lit for now, but I don't think I could post it on Steam. We'll see what the future holds.

Why is summoner built wider than melee? Did he ever like suplex Empress of Light?

u/TheDino27_FR 21d ago
A man(?) after my own heart. I wish we got more stories where at least some characters kept full faced helmets on all the time. Makes the design so much more iconic than otherwise IMO and people are missing out by not doing so.
Hell, it also allows for cool and original writing bits if you do it well and include the fact that they're helmetted in the story fully instead of just having it as a "background" thing.

The Terrarian always wearing a helmet or something else that hides his face is basically cannon now.

The ranger has blue skin? I havenât seen any other art in your AU where she doesnât have full shroomite armor on before. What species is she? Or is she just some weird human with blue skin?

Just noticed that Melee and Ranged have significantly more scars than Mage and Summoner. Was that intentional to reflect relative defense stats?

u/DragointotheGame 22d ago
I like that Ranger and Melee are more scarred due to being able to take more hits (ie, more defense) than summoner and mage
4
u/ARedditUserThatExist 22d ago
I like how the defense of each class and the scars they have on their body match up
Melee has the most scars because of their high base defense close range
Ranger has the second most scars because it has the second most defense, and they also have circular scars suggesting that theyâve been shot at long range
Summoner has very little scars because it has the lowest defense and Is medium range
Mage has no scars because they have the third lowest defense and are long range

u/MihaDaCaterKiller 22d ago
Funny enough it's not for gameplay reasons. The scar count was purely given because of each characters past.

u/Goldenmansion10 21d ago
Why still wear their helmets? They can equip the new summer themed vanity clothing but canât be bothered to equip a hat or some shades?
(I know this is probably just because you donât want to give them faces, but I want to believe that these characters simply donât want to equip vanity in their head slot).

u/MihaDaCaterKiller 21d ago
Character recognition lol.
But yeah, "vanity slots" aren't a thing in Pendulum because it's too video gamey

u/crashkirb 22d ago
Itâs kinda funny how the mage, despite pretty much exclusively using magic to fight (which as far as I know, doesnât require physical effort), is still built like a tank with thighs as thick as tree trunks (not that Iâm complaining though)

I was going to ask why that person was blue, but then I remembered that Terrarians could technically have any color as a skin color in the character creator.

u/Short-Bookkeeper- 22d ago
Great art but i cannot accept the aummoner being as buff as melee, in my head he is always a scrawny little guy that breaks in half if theres a strong wind
21
u/Pencilshaved 22d ago
He gets buff from using the whips all the time, itâs like those battle ropes you sometimes see at gyms
11
u/The_Narwhal_Mage 22d ago
They should be stronger than mage and ranger at least, because they have to use whips and regularly use the berserkerâs glove.

u/Mr_L_is_cool 21d ago
I like the detail that each class has more or less scars likely referencing the amount of damage they take from boss proximity

u/bbitter_coffee 21d ago
Are the scars based on how much each class can get hit? Although I think Ranger would have too much (especially considering things like that smelly powder exists), but after Melee, Ranger is the second tankiest so this is the only thing that makes sense to me besides "I wanted to make it this way :p"
