This should be my last year trick-or-treating considering I'm going to be 15 by then, so I would like to send it off with somewhat of a bang. The biggest detriment is that I'm poor, so I want to make it myself out of mostly what I already have around here. So I would like to ask for general tips. I want to be Sauron from the Lord of the Rings series. My first thought is cardboard since it is cheap and easy to modify, but I'm not sure if it would look very low quality. I want this to at least be movie accurate to some extent but I am aware that it might be difficult with cheap materials, which saddens me. I assume there is some budget since I am not getting a regular Halloween costume, but keep in mind that my family is poor. Please do not be rude to me, as I must ask now on reddit due to previous conflict. In addition, I wish you not treat me as if I am a 6 year old here. I can think. Now, to continue.. I am no material expert, but I'd think there might be something similar to cardboard with a similar price as well that holds up better? If it rains on that day, my costume will be ruined, no?

I think it might be because of the digis always having such advanced rendering that I could never afford to create something akin to, but my drawings always look underrendered even if I think the anatomy is pretty nice and the composition is alright or whatever. No images because I am not a digi and scanning them is more effort than I can do right now because of the time.

I don't know that the tools I have blend well since I'm only an artist a little bit, but I would like to get more use out of the cheap stuff I do have so that my stuff doesn't look bad. I wish these companies would make more variety in their stuff because I can't use one strong color and another, half of them look exactly the same. And they don't match the lid either. They don't seem to blend well which I think is because they are acrylic or whatever. I do have other markers which still suck but they have the same problems and more. Is there any way to get more use out of them, maybe I can try being more confident in my selection but the shifts are quite drastic compared to the tones I would use if I had the grace of being a digi. But that is far too expensive for me, 600$ tablet 100$ pen or whatever.. Its one time but I can't roll that way. I'm not trying to go full time, but I still want to improve, and I'm not sure whether it is my skills or my tools that are limiting me unless I were to change the way I think wholely which seems like a bad idea if I ever get the money to get good supplies.

I'm never going to get this deck because its like 2 cards for 1$ but the shipping is 19$ and it is just that a bunch of times because apparently only usanians play this game. The deck itself is only 30-70 bucks, but the shipping is often like 100-300 bucks. I'm in NB canada.

I pride myself as a good deckbuilder and I think I can say I've done it. I can't upload the screenshot but I simulated up to turn 12 with it since by then there was no more big dudes in the deck all on the field my hand and graveyard, and I had on the board.. Artisan of Kozilek, Guile, Diluvian Primordial, Stormtide Leviathan, Star Whale, Kasmina, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Pursued Whale, Ulamog's Dreadsire, Meteor Golem, Phyrexian Ingestor, 5 copies of Sphynx of the Second Sun, Reef Worm's 9/9 Kraken token, Ulamog's Crusher, Colossal Whale, Star Whale.... More, too.

I love underrated mono-blue commanders! Of course that test didn't simulate your opponent's reactions but you have plenty of solutions to that built into the deck. Also, I'm pretty sure these guys can't be countered since they aren't being cast just put onto the field but you have tons of counterspells and anti-creature enchantments. People are free to use it if you want, it is 54.59$ not including basic lands. If you do include, it might be closer to 100$. I've tested it countless times before but I then decided to make it cheaper and only test it once (which was the time where I got that monstrous board state previously mentioned) so as far as I know it works perfectly. Enjoy using it!

If there is not, can someone help me create one? I assume its something similar as decimate, right?

I am making a deck essentially built around blood artist type triggers. I would like someone to provide a nice list of cards that say something similar to "Whenever a creature [you control] dies, [target/each] opponent loses 1 life [and you gain 1 life]."

Hi, I can make code sometimes, so why not come make game with me? Also idea is very cool and good. I am going to get to it in an instant, then, folks. Am looking for artist, but other roles are good too. Also should be able to not be so impatient.

PC is Victor Ionescu and his friend, Nicolas, gets killed trying to save him from becoming a vampire turned by Vlad, Dracula, (not Vlad Tepes as you know him, a different guy) and he must avenge him. The year is 1953 and you are in romania. Stalin is on his last legs, and you must fight USSR soldiers who want to get rid of Dracula or use him for their own good, and leftover Nazis from the Ahnenerbe department who want to revive Adolf Hitler to start the fourth reich, using artifacts owned by Vlad himself.

I guess that's basically the pitch, eh? I technically have made games before, but I do feel slightly shamed of them. I have some very bare work on this game, though. [https://doubbleshot2.itch.io/castle-project-movement-test\] you can give such link a try, but it's a very broken build so I would almost not reccomend it. My profile hosts my other game, which is the first game I think to be proud of, but I've been coding many a time long ago. Yes yes, I know, I'm hard to understand, yes, I am very aware and it is much easier for me to talk when I am in different situations.

Would you like to draw a Dhampir character from my game? Of course, it is at your discretion that your art specifically is put into the game itself. I am capable of doing art myself, I find. Anyway.. I shall describe him to you! I have a sprite, but apparently I can't attach it. Anyway.. He is a 6'0 Romanian man in 1953 who fights basically proto-goth Dracula, the USSR, and Nazis trying to revive hitler to avenge his friend. His name is Victor Ionescu, he has orange eyes, a rather average skin color for a romanian, wears a green t-shirt with short sleeves, purplish blue pants, tall brown combat boots, and has spiky brown hair. A character I imagine him very similar to is Joseph Joestar in his prime from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. More to reference are Richter from Castlevania, Alucard from Castlevania, Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. As for the stance posture or pose, you can mostly draw him however you like. You can draw him eating someone and consuming their blood or spinal fluid with pure Vampiric instinct in his eyes, or you can draw him with his back facing the camera looking over his shoulder, you can draw him charging through Dracula's (Victorian decorated, though they are in Romania, this Dracula is not the Vlad Tepes you might know.), its up to you. Again, it is at your discretion of whether you wish your art to be used, though obviously that is against the sub's rules so.. I would, er, not.. Recommend it? I.. Do plan for it to be a commercial game. This is moreso.. For inspiration, perhaps. You can take some liberty and I may use it as inspiration. If you want to know more about the lore, I can tell you. It might be relevant that he must avenge his friend.

Game Title: No title yet. Code name: CASTLE-PROJECT

Playable Link: https://doubbleshot2.itch.io/castle-project-movement-test

Platform: Windows

Description: Game is in EXTREMELY EARLY access. Don't expect much, as I'm trying to make the movement feel quite nice as well as near glitchless before I do anything else, so please provide feedback on such systems. As for controls:

W/Space to jump
A/D or arrows to move
Ctrl on floor to slide (while holding A/D or arrows)
Ctrl in air to increase gravity
Shift to dash

**EDIT**
Mouse wheel to zoom
Alt to change between walking and running

COMBOS:
Slide Jump - When you activate a slide, if you quickly jump after such, you will jump higher.
Slide Superjump - If you manage to activate a slide jump in mid-air, you will preform a slide superjump, which allows you to go further and higher.

NOTES:
Temporarily, I have made your blood reset to 3 when you touch the floor. I have later plans for this mechanic.
Many of the abilities here require blood, which is currently invisible.

WHAT I AM LOOKING TO GET RID OF:
Physics bugs
Bad feeling movement
Bad controls

Free to Play Status:

• [✔️] Free to play

Involvement: Solo developer. I do everything except if I buy an asset pack or two such as a font generally.

I want to mix the genres of like Bach's spookier stuff, U.S.S.R music, and Rammstein or Sabbath style heavy metal. Anyone have tips for this? It's for my game where you are in 1953 romania fighting dracula, ussr soldiers, and nazis that want to revive hitler to create a fourth reich. Should I try to seperate the songs or should I try to mix the genres together?

You are Victor Ionescu. You were about to get turned by Vlad Ardelean, also known as Dracula". Of course, not "the" Dracula, as in Vlad Țepeș. Anyway, your friend Nicolas Scutariu comes in and stops you from being turned half way through. You manage to escape, but in revenge, Vlad kills Nicolas. You make it out of there alive. You are now a Dhampir, and you swear to avenge Nicolas by all means. It is 1953 Romania, but if you were in Dracula's castle, you might as well assume it's England in the 1800s. The mans obsessed. The USSR is strong standing, but Joseph Stalin is on his last legs, paranoid as a squirrel in a bird's nest. The Soviet soldiers are aware of Dracula's presence, and are attempting multiple methods to obtain artifacts that might be used to win the war. With no luck, of course. Grigori Rasputin is known as a Soviet super-soldier. Little know that he himself is a Vampire, cause to him not dying of frostbite years earlier. of course he is right where he wants to be, as a known master of pulling the strings.

Which side will you choose?

• Left side: Random superpower
• Right side: The ability to summon castlevania games

That's basically it. I think it makes historical sense, right? I tried not to make many alterations but I also wanted Rasputin to be part of it. Is it corny or anything like that? Please give me feedback. I also have a few more plans but this is basically just the setting.

For my notes.. I understand that the german is quite broken. This is a first person song, from the pov of a character. Since it needs to rhyme and i don't want to fix it, this is the character's german and not mine. I know i don't need to put {riff} every time a riff appears, this is more for me to practice. This would be my band's first song once i produce it, and I am the only member of the band so far. If you have any questions please ask in the comments. I will also show tabs for my riff, but I haven't made an outro or solo yet, and I haven't perfected the intro. The riff itself could use some work and variation but I will show the most simple form.

Tabs:

e|---------------------------------------|

B|--------------------------------------|

G|--------------------------------------|

D|--------------------------------------|

A|--------------------------------------|

E|0-0-7-8-0-7-8-7-0-0-7-8-0-10-8-7-|

Also could be power chords. Like I said, I might add some variation in the future.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() or script.Parent
local animation = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local animator = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")

local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

while player.Team == game.Teams.Fighting do

print("Team Prepped")

if not track.IsPlaying then

	track:Play()

end

print("Waiting")

wait(0.5)

end

⌈Wasted Years⌋ is a stand that allows the user to convert objects to time, and vice versa. The user can increase their lifespan by touching an unused, unimportant object, and absorbing it. Objects absorbed this way permanently disappear. The amount of time given is relative to how useful the object is, though, as previously stated, objects of utmost importance can not be absorbed. The user may also convert their lifespan to objects, taking more years off the more useful or needed the object is.
