I'm alive!

Posted 2 months, 4 days ago by dreamordecay

So I ended up neglecting toyhouse for a hot minute due to a combination of factors; inconsistent access to my adhd meds, depression, & most recently, a hyperfixation on pokémon sword & shield that consumed my life. I would like to put more attention on my characters, though! right now my three priorities are naming the designs that haven't been named, deciding on stories & plans for characters that don't yet have one, and updating the characters that do have stories with details about them.

thanks 4 reading!

Updates

Posted 11 months, 21 days ago by dreamordecay

If it wasn't obvious, Whoops! All Cradily has been put on hiatus while I figure out some of the complicated details of running it. I want to get it open this year, but with my unreliable access to the medication I need to function, I can't promise anything. More updates on my general life & state of projects soon!

Fursona Fridays

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago by dreamordecay

Still getting Whoops! All Cradily set up & ready to announce, & you can expect a bulletin about that before the end of the month. But THIS is about Fursona Friday: a writing practice I'm doing to get in the habit of writing short things. Read them here!

Whoops! All Cradily: PING LIST

Select any option to be added to the ping list!

I almost called this an interest check except I'm doing this no matter how many ppl are interested LOL.

Anyway, this is the Ping List for my upcoming Pokémon ARPG based around Lileep & Cradily! It's called Whoops! All Cradily, and I've been working hard on it over the past couple weeks. Featuring cool lileep variants, a bunch of fun game mechanics, and a plot that reveals more content as time goes on, I hope that pokémon fans will take a look and find a new appreciation for my all-time Favorite Pokémon!

Prof. Ginkgo is a pokémon professor specializing in revived fossil pokémon, especially lileep and cradily. When she and her fossil hunter friend, Monty, discover a huge deposit of root fossils in an uninhabited area, the two struggle to receive funding for the excavation, until a wealthy family offers to sponsor it under the condition that their daughter, Quennifer, gets to participate. Quennifer is a skilled trainer and a huge fan of cradily, and her presence brings a decent number of trainers to the dig site to help out and get their own root fossils to revive!

Other upcoming characters include Vranklin, a coordinator; XOXO, a stylist; and plenty more to introduce yourselves to!

Game mechanics include…

  • Cool Variants: We'll have a bunch of color/pattern variants so you can get creative with designs, with more added every couple of weeks. The starting selection has plenty of Color and Pattern variants, and the first major update will have Fusions and Delta Types, with later updates having Battle Forms, Contest Forms, and, eventually, a Third Evolution!
  • Quests: These are divided into Battles, Contests, and Jobs. They're all completed in the same way, by drawing, writing, or otherwise creating something that fits the prompt, and can only be completed once, with some exceptions. I'm preparing a ton of quest ideas to make sure I can keep them updating and refreshed frequently!
  • Wonder Trades: I'm very excited for this one! Opening once we have a handful of players, participants send out their pokémon to be traded to someone else, and get a random one in return. Unlike the game's wonder trades, the swap only happens once there's enough pokémon in the pool to be suitably random; I'm hoping I can get it going once a week.
  • More???: Some mechanics I'd love to include are Daily Bonuses and Permanent Questlines, and like… whatever else I can think of! Because this is a very niche arpg idea, I'm trying to include a lot of cool concepts so that ppl who may not be interested in lileep/cradily on their own can find something interesting.

I am looking forward to opening it in January 2023! I wanted to open it earlier but let's be real, Christmas is going to take up most all my time. I'm not setting an exact date this early except that it probably won't be the 1st.

You will be pinged twice total; once for the announcement of the Release Date, and again for the Grand Opening. Any vote in the poll puts you on the ping list. You can subscribe to me for further updates, if you want! But it's not necessary.

Thank you for reading! I look forward to seeing you at the dig site!

Writing Commissions, Maybe?

Posted 1 year, 11 months ago by dreamordecay

Are you interested in my writing commissions?

0 Votes Yes
0 Votes No
0 Votes Yes, but can't afford

I'm considering opening writing commissions once I finish two pieces of owed writing. My work can be found in my library tab, featuring mostly eevees, or my Ao3 page under Mattecat.

Examples:

I imagine I'd charge two and a half cents per word, so $25 for 1000 words, including two full revisions. You would pay me for a minimum word count, rounded to the nearest hundred (1800 would be $45, 700 would be $17.50) and I would aim to hit that word count, with no extra charge if I go beyond. I'm not 100% set on this price, so I'm willing to go lower on a case by case basis.

I am looking to write non-fandom works, but I can do some fandom works as well; I would love to write about your Pokémon OCs, both 'mons and human! My strengths are dialogue and characterization, and I have experience writing about trans characters and using neopronouns. I have been complimented on both my romance and comedy. My writing uses simple, easy-to-understand vocabulary, and I've been told it's ideal for translating into other languages, if that's a benefit for you.

I'm unsure if I'm going to open writing commissions yet, since I have a demanding day job and can only do writing two or three days a week, unless I can get some done after my shifts (always unlikely). Comment on this if you're interested! I will let you know if and when I open.

2022 Plans

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago by dreamordecay

OK so I haven't been on here for a while due to Problems and Difficulties, but! get ready for 2022, which is when I attempt to become the account on toyhouse with the most characters. I currently don't know who has the most characters so I'm gonna shoot for 10k and hope I don't die.
