For something to be taken, something has to be lost A body for a body, A future for a future, a new "you" to replace the old "you", But then you wonder, Is it really the same person? Or are they different people, just in the same shell? Or is it somewhere in between? 🐈 🧠 🧍🧍

As various themes of self and body/"soul" grew visually apparent, Minji and Shu have grown into philosophical and personality foils that seek similar ends. But Shu would ideally allow the reader to have an immediate human connection in the world of BEASTPUNKS that Minji as of now can't do alone.

When I was writing over the years, and with the less I relied on Kipo as a sole/primary inspiration, I found that I needed to have the main protagonist(the main POV) be someone that can change, grow, and be a foil to a more antagonistic deuteragonist that Minji became. Shu fit that role very well

Sadly no major progress yet to report atm: Just been reference gathering (for style) and environment testing here and there Looking at Temmie Chang, CptHamburger, Simon Hutt, Drew Shields, DOM ROM, among others

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (53) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" Last but not least for August, and these archive dumps: Momo/Mr.Pink and Minji, Momo being Minji's boss, like Mordecai is for Mr. Sweet on the surface... with a more mentor-esque spin under the surface.

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (52) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" Now this begs the Mew Mew question, which will receive... an overly long brain dump (hopefully being anything close to an answer) If Deltarune has Mew Mew Kissy Cutie, Beastpunks has Sparkle Cadet Mew Mew

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (51) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" At 07/2026, a reintroduction occurred into this existing timeline and story: of classic Minji as "Mari". This time in a different role and name, and fully cementing present Minji with more of Negai's role.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (50) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" Iterations on the characters from the pilot script once again, and of course... having re-introduced myself to Canary Primary and Deltarune via Chapter 5 had an impact Esp. on Minji, as can be slowly seen onward

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (49) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" Around Summer of 2026, I exposed myself to Lackadaisy and Gameoverse, so Minji tanked the first change-wave as a result of the newfound influence.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (47) Years: (2026) "Cyberpunk Era 2.0" This current year and everything that's happened thus far up until August. I'll try to keep this segment shorter than the monster that was 2024 - 2025. A character in the script, Sento, began to iterate alongside Minji

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (46) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" And to close, some worldbuilding tests for the corporate/nobility fashions, from office wear to formal to military The aim here was to mix the diaspora of japanese, korean, and chinese fashion together for more formal wear.

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (45) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" And finally, as we close in on 2025's end, another series of sketches as I tried to pull my own mental into the physical.

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (44) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" As one can see this was when the character design loop really grinded on and on. I can't lie, my stamina wasn't infinite and I found myself taking it slow to avoid burning out.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (43) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" More and more art, and some character redesigns, studies, and explorations

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (42) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" More and more worldbuilding via art and design would be done the closer we got to the end of the 2025. Each vehicle would be a Beast of its own, a combination of living animal and functional vehicle.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (41) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Later in 2025, I began the (likely late) process of trying to register the culture and species/breeds of humans and humanoids in the setting, and the culture that results

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (40) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" bouncing off this idea, the Jiangshi of yesteryear became a prominent spin on these bio-robots, and something that would become essential in tying these various forms of tech (and Minji's own story, as of 2026) together.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (39) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Biorobotics take a more faux-mechanical/cybernetic turn compared to the previous years gooey, almost liquid-metal mechs.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (38) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Props seen in the pilot were also studied and iterated on, if only in passing compared to the designs of the characters themselves

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (37) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" cont. iterations from previous post, and more and more characters from the script draft (around 07/2025) are finally given a form to bounce from

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (36) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" More and more, these characters were iterated, refined alongside the script they came from

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (35) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" As the script iterates and characters (and Minji) iterate, new ones from the script are added, like Lumi

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (34) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Characters like Vick from earlier drafts returns in force and Kekoa gets aged up as her role in the script shifts to a more teenage/young adult maid beginning.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (33) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" The difference a year or two makes when creating the aesthetics and core "vision" for a setting. Minji's backstory as a "weapon"/"doll" of sorts became more and more important. And her designs shifted more and more.

100

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (32) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" At around Summer, once again, changes began to solidify. The setting would shift to a more rebuilt world on top of the apocalypse, ala Cyberpunk 2077 or Bladerunner A central location here? Nagayasu, formerly, Chang'An.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (31) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" A seed was planted here. "Does Minji need to begin life as a Human or Beastman? Why not beast? Or maybe... something else?" The process of making a Minji would also contrast with Shu and his "glove"s storyline at that time.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (30) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Minji's "Boss" and her cohorts were also being explored with more serious intent at this point in time, along with some of Minji's weaponry among other things

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (29) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" And some more H-Artwork and some character redesign artwork born from the aforementioned madness

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (28) Years: (2025) "CyberPunk Era" Some examples of lewd artwork I did over this period of time. Even with the character sheet, I sadly found myself slowly succumbing to character re-design madness at this time.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (27) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" Starting in 2025, I began to iterate more and more, and crank out some lewd works to study (and have fun) with them while I was making them Minji got a full char.Sheet... that didn't stick sadly.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (26) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" The last art of 2024 was of Minji on a notebook, because I wasn't able to bring my laptop where I was

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (25) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" Nearing the end of 2024, the madness began to set in and this disatisfaction with the character's visuals compared to her narrative started to really hit me. And so I worked on other characters as well.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (25) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" The setting slowly shifted too, to take an aspect of Night City that I found fascinating: The Urban Jungle aspect. This feudal dichotomy of the haves and have-nots, of the wild and the civilized slowly infected all.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (24) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" This decision came two fold: Shu would be the one to most obviously change and grow, and Minji (like Negai to Minji/Kipo) would be the more cynical foil to Shu. This dynamic became the heart of the series onward.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (23) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" Around 09/2024-02/2025, I decided that Minji would be a foil protag/antag of the story, leaving what was once a deuteragonist/side char. ala Benson from Kipo to take the spotlight as our POV protag. His name is Shu

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (22) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" A fusion of biotech and robotics born from watching "Mary and the Witch's flower". That fusion of organic and metallic was pretty neat. Also some more artwork I made of Minji around this time.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (21) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" As expected, doodles and various artwork would be instrumental in testing out the idea most ended up being lewd so... yeeah

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (20) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" At this point in time for 2024, around summer, I started fixating onto three things: An IZZO bike commercial, Akari (Pokemon Legends), and Nine Sols' aesthetics Certain things started to click, little by little

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (19) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" Some more sketches from that period of time. Toyed with a hyper light drifter aesthetic. The script was in its earlier drafts here, so certain ideas could be better tested visually, like The Bunker and the BG city.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (18) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" For a period of time I did some hand doodles to feel out some ideas. At some point here the seeds of keeping the setting focused on a smaller, intimate scale.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (17) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" One additional thing that got introduced and never left was a more concrete possibility of intense violence, gore, and sexual scenarios & themes. Testing it out via illustration felt... weird

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (16) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" 2024 stuff cont. It was around this transitional period I experimented a bit with what should and shouldn't be crossed over into this setting. One of these would've been the bunkers/burrows and their builders: NINGEN

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (15) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" In this particular section, this'll be more disorganized as most of my progress in 2024 was stored in the form of screenshots of art on discord.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (14) Years: (2024 - 2025) "CyberPunk Era" For most of 2024 I fell into the character re-design / Script-Writing rabbit hole and character-sheet spam harder than ever before. As a result, less to really show overall...

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (14) 2023 - "Beastpunks Era" The cyberpunk aspects primarily got start by one main question: "Why does Minji like that?" And from there it was a rabbit hole of biopunk implants, gene manipulation and so on. And from there, I extrapolated outward from Minji.

Beatbo @beatbo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Project Beastpunks Development Archive (13) 2023 - "Beastpunks Era" In addition, previous characters I'd make like Negai got alternate forms before later on, in 2024, being consolidated into Minji herself. The soldier and the mech were the first signs of the Cyberpunk/CrueltySquad influence rising.
