omg Bigboot and Jumpsie are such cute names!!!

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Thank youuuu!

From another comment thread here, I think I'll go with "Bigboot is her Western localized name, Threedee is her name in the Japanese version"

Maybe Jumpsie will be her miniboss racing minigame rival, or something!

It has additionally been decided that, in the grand tradition of DK64's Banana Fairies, she'll either collect fairies in her shorts and/or be pestered by a tutorial fairy

omg..... fairy collectable.....

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•13 hours ago

You don't need all of them to beat the game, but let's face it. What kind of Pro Game Protagonist would Bigboot be if she didn't go for 100%?

So she'll dive into every nook and cranny, listening to the fairies' canned "Nonono please-!" voiceclip again and again, while trying to improve her time

Collectathon mascot OC is a fun idea and I'd love to see more of her!
Love the idea of her sentient collectibles having panicked/screaming voiceclips for a split-second before she either eats them or shoves them in her cramped polygonal shorts.

I said it a while back, but I like the name BigBoot.

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Still love that idea! I think Bigboot's gonna stick.

Part of me's thinking some "collectibles" could just end up as flat sprites tattoo'd on her shorts, or maybe squeezed in for an HUD element - but the screams are just subtle and silly enough they'd fit the vibe. Very "Jinjo! Weeee!"

every OC should need to declare if they're able to BLJ or not

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I think it's a requirement, if they're from The Shindou Version we need a notice

One of my goals this year is to relearn blender, especially that one branch aimed at less-technical people. I feel like modelling a low-poly OC out, and seeing how her design changes during the modelling process, would be a fun reward at the end.

In the game's creepypasta there's a new level in the hub world which after a weirdly short loading screen shows the player's home town. Moving forward shakes the scene and a giant boot comes crashing down, leaving just a !-shaped crater. Afterwards the player's home town is hit by an earth quake irl

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Officials say it's absolutely unrelated to any supernatural events, but the player of the creepypasta still keeps jumping whenever he sees the "!" symbol. And he swears he can see extra weird tiny home-shaped polygons on Bigboot's foot the next time he plays...

Every copy of Bigboot's Stompfest is personalized

giga-melanie.bsky.social•1 day ago

A few questions: Has she ever finished her game and undone her curse? I assume if she did then it just resets her back to before the ending. And are there any other people within her game, aside from the sentient items? Might be fun to have more victims of poor programming lol.

giga-melanie.bsky.social•1 day ago

For example, she could have a friend with an animation that makes them ever so slightly smaller with each loop. Too subtle to be caught by playtesters, but it does add up over an uninterrupted playthrough. Stuff like that yknow, I think there's a lot of potential for size glitches and bugs.

giga-melanie.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Also about the name: Given how the english localization seems to be less than faithful, I could imagine her having two different names depending on that as well. "Threedee" I think makes sense for her original name, since it's cutesie and a bit clever.

giga-melanie.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Meanwhile "Bigboot" or "Stomplo" feel on the nose and more fitting for the snarky rebel vibe of the english localization. It's like the angry Kirby eyebrows thing. "Nobody will care about 'Threedee's Adventure', but they will care about 'Bigboot's Stompfest'!"

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The localization name change is actually PERFECT, it plays in with the different personalities I've set up - you're perfectly reading the "vibe" I wanted to depict! She'll be Bigboot in English, and Threedee in JP!

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Also the friend idea is the EXACT type of glitch I wanna have. It's like the rising/falling glitch in Bowser in the Fire Sea.

To fit the "curse" vibe and toony aesthetic, I'm gonna declare she's friends with a nutcracker-style toy soldier, who has a very animated marching and saluting motion...

highcxyz.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Does she get a modern day reboot one day

questathana.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I know the name Bigboot implies she is big but does she ever shrink at a point in the game?

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I'm gonna say YES!

The Shrinky Shoes give Bigboot shrink powers, like Tiny Kong in DK64, and find collectibles in spots she's stepped or sat on before. It's a pain to find all the cracks they're hidden in!

Also, one stage styled like the old Mac game Bugdom where you need to dodge stomping feet

yuithewriter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Now I want to see what kind of wacky cast could her game have

tfwnogiantgf.bsky.social•18 hours ago

From some other brainstorming in comments, and my own thoughts, we've got:
- A squishable nutcracker/toy soldier for training moves
- A tutorial fairy she's trying to dodge
- The witch who cursed her, the final boss (probably has big proportions herself)
- Talking collectibles, maybe candy guys?
