Have loads of different kinds of ghosts
Kappa ghosts who try dragging you 6 feet under
adorable baby ghosts who don't hurt you but hug you and slow you down
Empty suits of armour

That's simple.

But how would ghost rules work?

Like why are there ghosts? How does the afterlife work? Etc.

 

[redfeatherraven]

So, I got a question.

In our game we want to have a ghost area.

But if we're combining mythologies, how would ghosts work?

Any ideas?

Depends.

Which mythologies?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Actually just a vampire wannabe with an edgy fake name and a masochist pervert, seeking to be abused by the creatures inside the tree.

Oh, so they're basical-

Lalatina.

Don't say that name!

Qrow-an occurence involving a squirrel, two cups of coffee and a gun. S

That gun was also a scythe/
That scythe was also a sword

Zebei-Hailing from Doomedome Town, which got destroyed by Lord Evilord, he set on a journey to defeat him with his trusted companions and childhood friends: Lovintherest and Yaobait. Unfortunately, they got totally destroyed and now Hiro "Zebei" McGuffin Sue has decided to use the legendary Yggdrasil to grind. His friends were put on a bus.

Ahh yes, Im gerniric McGenericson

decided to use the legendary Yggdrasil to grind.

Me grinding? Yup. This is me.
I dont get the bus

 

[Kurri ★]

Kolin won and that's all I can say. Guess Oro and the others were plain forgettable.

Meanwhile, it's time to fly ourselves to the moon now that Bayonetta is having her time to shine. There's more cool characters to choose from than the witch herself. Your choices are Jeanne, Father Balder, Aesir, and Rodin. I might tag peeps like @wedl!! and Wolfie557 since they a big fans.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Add me plz

What is your Companionship Number? (I sure hope they upgrade to a better system soon)

Anyways, figured out they sent the download codes via email. Downloading the rest of my bundle right now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That's simple.

OOOOOOH the 'why' nit the 'what'!
The Underworld is flooded and Hades kicked a bunch of souls out to Spookstralia, in which they formed their own provinces and tribes. Spookstralia's a parallel world. JapAAAAURGH for instance has yokai and Great Bootan has the knight suits, etc. As for how they're different. Evolution and mimicry of the real world which they see through mirrors, and sometimes they come out to engross themselves in the deep culture of the other world for research. Or **** around with people, that too

Pfft I could make up better villain names than Lord Evilord
Also why deer specifically? They're ****ing delicious

Lord Evilord is evil, I guarantee to you, he held Lovintherest by the arm, I tell you!

And the answer to that question is simple

I'll make a demonstration AFTER I save

Ahh yes, Im gerniric McGenericson

No, didn't you hear? You're Hiro McGuffin Sue! Also, you have a crush on Lovintherest, if the fact she's your female childhood friend wasn't enough of a clue.
Also also, you may-or-may not be shipped with Yaobait

Me grinding? Yup. This is me.

Well, according to top 5/10 channels, stuff falling over at bars/shopping marts= ghosts.

So make a ghost that's a fat alcoholic that shops at walmart.

So I'm a human who turned into a bear after killing a bear?

Wasn't this the plot to Disney's Brother Bear?

One of my most favorite April Fools' jokes is from McLeodGaming last year: Their joke was making you believe the Sandbag fighter was an April Fool's joke (but Sandbag's really going to be playable in the next demo).

 

[A Distant Demon]

I wonder when I, super generic guy, is going to get my cursed sword spear Gram Bram stolen from me and have to go find it for like 5 episodes

Also also, you may-or-may not be shipped with Yaobait

Let's be real, there is no may not

Why Fighting Deers is 100% a Bad Idea
Turn 1: everyone(but Gwen) uses their Force Boosts and spam their skills with Attack Order boost

Turn 2: Repeat
Turn 3: Use Force Break
Turn 4: You failed before even starting

That's simple.

But how would ghost rules work?

Like why are there ghosts? How does the afterlife work? Etc.

They die.

They leave their sack of meat behind.

They then wander the Earth seeking purpose in their afterlife. But there truly is no greater purpose for them or special meaning to their afterlife, they're just like dust in the wind.

...Which is why there could be a character who uses ghosts and makes pod people/moving manikins out of them. Ghosts are a resource to them. This character could incorporate this into their moveset (you're making a fighting game IIRC, right?). Maybe make this character Hades or some similar character? Maybe even the Grim Reaper? Whatever works best for the mythological themes of the game I guess.

There could also be a character that acts as a rival/foil to them. Maybe a Buddhist monk type of character. Since Buddhism is all about the purification of one's spirit, this character, upon discovering the hapless spirits wandering without purpose (maybe he's the only human who can actually see them, or he's part of a temple of monks that is specifically trained to "hunt" lost spirits), decides to set up some kind of sanctuary for spirits, where they come to go about their afterlife in peace, as if being part of a community of the living once again. Since the word "Buddhism" is derived from the word "budhi" (which IIRC is part of the sacred Pali language), which translates as "to awaken" in English, I think this could be an appropriate way of mixing the Ancient Greek interpretation of spirits with the Buddhist interpretation of spirituality.

I don't know how well something like that fits into the context of your game but it's something to work off of, I guess. Buddhism may not strictly fall under the typical definition of "mythology", but all classic mythological universes of lore were once strictly followed as religions. Both mythology and religion are quite malleable for the context of creative works, as they really represent a people's culture more than anything.

Oh god, that music triggers my PTSD, goddamnit, did I hate Primitive Jungle. At least the 3rd Stratum makes up for it, mostly. Then there's the fifth one and it's probably my favorite of the two Untold games

Finished Story Mode of Super Bomberman R today. Though I wasn't good at doing that due to the multiple continues I used even on the lowest difficulty (getting a 1-star rating on each world).

Guess now I do some points grinding to purchase the in-game content (via both online battles & replaying story levels).

Did I mention how much I enjoy the game's soundtrack?:
