Redesigning Floraverse - Because PK is a fucking idiot

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi people, i created this account with the intent of commenting in this thread because im really interested in this whole 'Floraverse Rewritten' concept and after seeing this thread i would like to join the discord server about those redesigns (if the discord server still exists). If it doesn't i would like to get more information about your concepts and plans to make a better "Floraverse" concept/thing.
I've read some comics from the Floraverse site and really liked some characters like Lily, Biff and Alice, But the rest of the story is just confusing and way too weird for me to keep my interest on. I basically want to meet new floraverse-like characters and an actual story for me to get attached to.

For me the entire floraverse universe is very unique since i don't read webcomics too much, a shame the idea is poorly executed by PK.

I also created my own Flora character to fit somewhere but i just can't find where i can fit him. I will send his bio and two drawings that i asked my friend to draw since i have 0 drawing ability if this comment gets replied.

An update:

Those in the original thread know that, while her subject matter changed, her art style eventually switched from colourful (albeit magenta-dominant) paintings to monochrome scribbles.

I want the full version of my game to reflect that. The first chapters would have that colourful world (albeit with a stronger colour range), yet later chapters would segue into that monochromatic style. The initial characters might even be left in their old designs on purpose, their colourful designs deliberately causing dissonance with their environment. Similarly, the general tendency is that the character that joins your party comes from the environment and, therefore, your party follows a rough chronological order: Biff joins early, while Fvx (the scissor rabbit) would join late. The Ruffians Three would make the final party member (so far).

Adding on this is that I want... whoever is representing Melanie... to be the final boss. Biff's party defeats all of the other stand-ins of other people that Melanie claimed messed up Melanie... except that the Floraverse Melanie would prove to the party that she is nasty even without her 'influences'.

Do you know how Pokémon has weather effects that alters how certain moves work? My game would have competences that temporarily change the battlefield into different environments that boost the damage of and resistance to a single element.

So far, I have:
  • Fire
  • Water: Mist
  • Air
  • Earth
  • Spirit
  • Distortion
  • Plasma
  • Acid
  • Light: Bright Day or Moonshine
  • Lava: Volcano
  • Aura
  • Ice: Snow
  • Cloud: Fog
  • Clay
  • Poison
  • Storm: Hurricane (with the eye in the party)
  • Sand
  • Sound: Acoustical theatre
  • Crystal
  • Magnet
  • Psi
  • Black Hole
  • Electricity: Thunderstorm
  • Oil
  • Smoke
  • Quicksand
  • Darkness: Eclipse

Everything you posted makes it sound like this game is going to be way too complicated and you're going to burn out fast and hard.

So...are we going to move the thread forward or we are just going to let the thread die?

Calm down, please. I am not quitting my game; I am just restricting myself to the main 6 elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Spirit, Distortion) and maybe skip the environments feature at the moment in time. After all, despite my plans, I am currently focusing my game on only one chapter.
Besides, this thread will not die as long as anyone has ideas. (Given how Melanie is giving us a lot of content, we would be here in a good while.)

So i mentioned i had a flora OC and i wanted to fit him somewhere in the flora universe but never found a place to start, until i find this whole thread with people doing redesigns and showing their flora ocs. so here we go.
View attachment 808195


here is his background story, information and etc. i rushed a little bit on his background story because my creativity was pretty low, so there might be some cliches, generic things and mistakes like the species itself. i might also change his story later
Name:Gregory Winston Age: 28 Species: Gray Fox Affinity: Magic Personality: Serious, enigmatic, powerful, agile, lonely

Characteristics: Uses a black cape, brown pants, always carries a crossbow on the back and possesses powers of black magic, is an experienced bounty hunter

Bio: Gregory used to live with his father in the woods until he and his father found an artifact while exploring ancient ruins. The artifact was similar to a porcelain jar, when gregory opened the artifact an entity took over his body giving him a massive amount of magical power and knowledge, but unfortunately the entity also forced him to confront his father against Gregory's will which resulted in his father's death. After this, he decided to leave everything behind and burn down his old home. After this he tried to find someone that could have some information about how to take the entity off from his body. After various failed attempts, he then discovered that was easier for him to just take full control over the entity and use it as a magical benefit. he then decides to gather wanted posters placed on walls of nearby towns and hunt down angels and other creatures from the posters. Making him be known as a bounty hunter in Dewclaw
I also know that the artstyle is pretty furry-ish but the artist did what he could

The furry-ish style actually suits the character so much. The style and history actually clash with Floraverse, but that is, in the end, a good thing, because:
  1. he makes an excellent contrast to Floraverse.
  2. the 'genericity' he has is actually a point of relatability to the viewer, giving us both a bridge to Floraverse and a 'mirror' on how a more 'normal' person would act in the universe.
  3. by the same note, he forms a form of 'grounding' regarding the fantastic tone behind Floraverse.
  4. Floraverse is just going to get 'deeper'. Having this character clash would only be a good thing.
However, I never actually thought that his history and background are generic. In fact, this may be the media I consume, but those points of his life are points I rarely see! Plus, you managed to tie him to the Floraverse universe with what type of bounty hunter he currently is.

By the way, everyone delivers thons own take on Floraverse here. My Biff does not have to be your Biff. In fact, people usually give their own redesigns of their own characters here; some deal with the same characters.

How your Biff looks like?
 
I want to understand this thread better, are you guys trying to make a Parody of PK's webcomic or trying to improve it and fix all it's mistakes?

I mean, what im trying to say is that this thread started with some really nice Floraverse character redesigns and all of the sudden moved to Floraverse OCs, it kinda...i don't know...lost it's original concept and instead of being the beginning of an improvement became a parody

In reality, all of this was the point all along. We are doing just that: Redesigning Floraverse. Whether you are redesigning because you think those ideas have wasted potential, or you just want to mess with Melanie, we are still Redesigning Floraverse in the end. In fact, this split of ideas was always there; the original thread of Melanie Herring had people argue what merit is there on working with Floraverse, given how Floraverse was meant to be a trap that aimed to catch children. (Melanie outright said that she has fantasies of children learning about 'intimate' matters before they are 'supposed to' know, or again, of her readers finding out that they were queer because they read her comics.)
