I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHEN WHITTY WAS NEW IN THE FNF COMMUNITY, AND WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY GAVE A SHIT ABOUT HEX

(crying emoji) I miss Carol, she was awesome. and Sarv and Ruv, I miss them too

I miss when these two broke Newgrounds because BF pissed on the server box thing

This has nothing to do with Stamps, I just think the design is garbage. probably biased since... you know

it barely does anything with the concept, it's just Xenophanes two again, at least try to do what Xanthus did if you're gonna make an FNF-related EXE

also looking back, does anyone in the FNF fanbase understand what DDLC is trying to saturate, I mean I know I didn't first playthrough, but I now understand the game is making fun of Anime tropes and Saterizing it or something IDK. I could just be acting like a damn know-it-all saying this. but I've been witnessing the entire globe (including myself) pretending Monika is an OK person, when she's a goddamn psychopath

sorry for posting a lot today, EXE stuff has been clearing my mind of the shit I witnessed today.

I don't want people shipping Libitina with other EXEs, Libitina barely qualifies as an EXE, she's lucky she has that god-awful analog horror series I'm working on

also

-I'm fine with Libitina being in FNF mods, just don't make it fucking weird or something.

-I must remind you that Libitina is supposed to be a straight-up psychopath, you aren't supposed to sympathize with her, she straight-up kills people and verbally harasses them

-yes I'm aware GIffany from Gravity Falls is from a dating sim. I don't wanna really lean into the love aspect of the character too much. I just don't want sick fucks on Twitter shipping her with other exes.

-also, the reason I've been struggling to come up with more Libitina stuff that's not related to FNF is that making what's essentially an Abusive Lord X Yandere character is fucking hard to get right. I want this character to actually be scary and unnerving and not OC cringe...

-I should remind you, this is a bloody Gravity Falls Creepypasta OC

IDK, anyone got any ideas that could make her actually horrifying? I'm not good with horror

SoftDon is fucking disgusting, damn..... I feel really bad for the victim of all of this torment and I send my condolences to you.

I swear, a new piece of drama comes up and it gets worse and worse each time... I'm just more and more devastated inside each time. I feel like I can't trust anyone now... It's getting to a point where making a vent post about everything isn't enough, I need to scream as loud as I can to let out this stress

For one, the fanbase being manipulative pieces of garbage 80% of the time really pisses me off. and the 20% of people who are sane human beings. you guys are cool.

I truly feel after Vs Sonic.exe 2.0 was released, the community has just been a fucking dumpster fire. almost all the devs on that mod we're pieces of shit, and the few devs who are genuinely nice people don't get treated with respect by the community. it's like there's a new EXE mod every 2 seconds even though Gamebannana banned revival mods for that reason. and I'm getting sick of seeing creepy Sonic. it's the reason I've barely been working on Libitina shit, I just don't feel like it's worthwhile even if I enjoy working on it.

even the NG mods are beginning to get involved with drama. the fucking base game is getting drama now. and I'm fucking done....

for all of you waiting for Vs Nova, don't worry. although now would be the perfect time to just cancel it for good. I still gotta finish 2.0. I think after that I'm fucking done making FNF shit for a while. the only novamixes I feel like doing are the DDTO and Scott the Woz ones. I've dedicated myself to funny Nova mods for too long, after I'm done putting love and care into 2.0 and I release the damn thing. don't expect any FNF content for a while. (say maybe a remix of two if I'm bored or if I new mod comes out that I actually like)

sorry for losing my shit, this just felt like the last straw. I've been pretty mad at the community ever since the drama with 3.0 of VS Sonic.exe/Leaking Base Game

been making some sketches for some future Vs Nova levels

Stress (Novamix) Mockup. Nova is holding Auth with her tail, (Like Week 7 no way)

Faker (Novamix) Mockup. I haven't started Black Sun and Godspeed's mockups. Nova and Auth are wearing Azura the Good Witch cosplay (they just got back from a convention)

EXE is gonna fucking murder them, or will our two protagonists slay this beast?

Bonus:

rough draft BM week sketch (GF is tied up)

forgot about 2.0 for a second. remember I'm still on break

have a Glooby Sprite

Tom Fulp cool

Newgrounds

I'm so tired, guys

also fuck Monika.exe, she's what ruined EXE culture

mario

just gonna post this since Youtube is being a bitch about it

D-side Nova, Auth, Ozone (Mantle), Butterfly Mech (MothBoy), Boxel (Domerra), Tiffany, and Phantome (Snakem)

D-side Amy, Marina (Azure), Kiera, Glooby, Ball (Cube), and Bupstick (Bupsphere)

if anyone is missing, it's because I'm designing them/ I can't show their D-side Design yet

Gonna get this out of the way. I've been taking a break from Vs Nova development. mostly because my Left Arm (My dominant arm) has been feeling really sore for a couple of days. don't worry, We're close to finishing it, I just wanna break so my arm heals

Also... If you're still wondering why some of my art isn't up anymore. I'm just not proud of it. I want my art on this site to be quality. I know I'm really hard on my art style and stuff, but I do understand that you guys enjoy my art (and think my art style is charming I guess)

Also another thing regarding Vs Nova... I've wanted to make a 3.0 update eventually. but regarding the Novamix side of this possible update. I realized I've had this fear of accidentally adding too much content, like the mod being 80% novamixes of pre-existing FNF songs. and I don't want that. I don't want Vs Nova to be just D-sides 2 or something (this mod is about Nova characters after all)

so I've decided that any other Novamixes I make won't be for the mod, and might just be labeled as remixes or something. with some exceptions. most of the Novamixes are supposed to be important to the story of the mod. so there are a couple I'm still gonna make for a possible 3.0/ eventually in general. I've also decided I'm gonna release these before I put them in 3.0, so I can worry about making sprites and art for them later...

So the remixes that will definitely be in 3.0 are

-Week 3 Novamixes

-Week 4 Novamixes

-Week 7 Novamixes

yeah... that's, it, but I might still do a couple of mods that are important to the Story and lore

so like

-Vs Scott the Woz Novamixes (Scott's main week)

-DDTO Novamixes (only 3-4 songs)

-Faker, Black Sun, and Godspeed Novamixes (I was going to ask Revie for permission, but she said we no longer need permission in FNF mods, so that's cool. still in concept stages like all of these)

these 6 weeks are gonna have story reasons on why everything is happening, and I'm forming a timeline.. like I've said, I'm gonna release these before I release a 3.0 update. or might make these a separate update entirely...

as for the Ourple Guy mixes... that's a maybe. I haven't been enjoying modding those ones in, or making art for them (aside from lore) just fell off of Ourple Guys I guess

and I gotta worry about 2.0 atm, and other shit... like Taxes

aughhhhhhhh

Happy 1 year anniversary Vs Nova DX, my first real FNF mod is 1 year old, you should go play it while we wait for 2.0 to come out: https://gamebanana.com/mods/387412

anyways, I just wanted to say, thank you all for being so cool. ever since DX was released I've been hard at work making an update for the mod, you probably noticed I don't refer to the mod as Vs Nova DX anymore, and why the next update is just Vs Nova 2.0.

you see Vs Nova DX was just supposed to be a remaster of the OG Vs Nova mod I made before that one, it was just a Week 3 reskin, but DX was sorta a transitional mod in between that and 2.0.

2.0 is sorta what I wanted DX/Early 2.0 to be, but due to multiple reasons, DX was just a proof of concept in a way, with 2.0's early development months just being bickering with the co-director I won't mention, and us not having a clear direction for the mod, even after recovering most of the lost data

I actually wanted Ozone and Auth to get full weeks for 2.0, but we're lucky they have songs in the first place.

like I've said many times, I've been working night and day on this mod, staying up till 4-6 am just to work on it, I'm hoping after I finish 2.0 I can take a break from FNF for a while (or at least Vs Nova). I honestly don't think the mod is going to be noticed by anyone big, like Communitygame or anyone, and I'm fine with that. but if it does get noticed, that would be cool.

either way, all I really want is to just finish the mod, I've been putting all this work into it, and I want to make something I'm not only passionate about but something that's quality...

... you know, I will say this about 2.0, most mods I notice nowadays that are as big as something like Vs Sonic.exe 2.0, have big dev teams and a shit ton of new mechanics and gimmicks. that's the thing, even if the dev team is maybe 4-6 people at least, they put so much quality into it and makes sense, each one of them is focusing on something individually and manages to get it out at a decent time (if they're lucky/no drama between the devs).

Vs Nova 2.0 has around the same amount of original content as 2.0 of Vs Sonic.exe, but like was made by one girl, who is me.... when you hear that you go.... "ayo Giffany, you good?"

the funny thing is, I also put way too much effort into the little things, so it's not just some back and forth with like 3 characters in the same locations for each song

like I don't wanna spoil it, but when I release 2.0, you'll know what I mean. for someone who doesn't know how to program, I sure was able to put most of what I wanted in the mod.

even if most of the "animation budget" went to Nova's week and a couple of the free-play songs. the songs are still bangers at the moment. also, I managed to finally capture Phantomarcade/Evilsk8tr's art style. it's not perfect, but it looks like something you'd see during the golden age of FNF mods, and to me, that's all I ever wanted.

before I go, have this cool teaser image

I wonder what that's for

stay funky
