TODAY!! 'UNSOUNDED: The Corpse with No Eyes' by @glassshard.bsky.social hits shelves in bookstores EVERYWHERE! Happy Book Birthday! 🎉 But that's not all! In just over a week Book 3 & 4 launch for funding! Going where no print-run for the title has gone before!🗡️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...
Sette and Duane travel onward on a brand new cover title image for Unsounded! This is the first of 6 books planned for the series, and with all of your help we made it happen! A girl with a tail is instructed by her father: take this plod to the city and do some criminal family business. Seems simple right? Well everyone and her too-smart zombie chaperone seem to think it is for someone her age!A little metal spiderling made of what looks like brass and light blue glass totters toward Sette. "Hrm." She kneels down and scoops it up. "You weave that gozzy trap? Wonder why they left ya behind. Pymarics ain;t cheap." As if to answer that, it malfunctions and plops back onto her hands. "... oh."A small boy pleads with a colossal metal and earthly-fleshen humanoid to just behave before his father gets mad. Uaid instead uses a tree to protct himself from the rain and upsets the residences of the arbor. "Papa TOLD you that trees ARE NOT THE SAME as umbrellas! He's already cross, better put it back!" he pleads. The little critter tenants do the same, albeit a bit more angrily.Her steed is a huge dog and that is so much more badass than if it was a horse. Look at him, he loves his job so much while she's up there being a badass. "Why aren't you in there?! It can't hurt you! These flames are spectral! Don't you feel them burning COLD?"

DQB2 lets you rotate objects if you're holding them with the Builder's Gloves, but not if you're just placing them from your inventory. So even then you had to place the block first then pick it back up later :') They def learned a lot from developing DQB2 that they applied to Pokopia

Dragon Quest Builders 2 (ドラゴンクエストビルダーズ2 破壊神シドーとからっぽの島) fanart. (Or maybe just regular Dragon Quest in this case. Whatever.) Black and white scribbly drawing of Malroth (破壊神シドー) breathing fire. This is just a drawing of him breathing fire there is no context.Dragon Quest Builders 2 (ドラゴンクエストビルダーズ2 破壊神シドーとからっぽの島) fanart, from a discussion with a friend. 

VERY trustworthy Malroth (破壊神シドー) with big happy smile that is NOT evil asks male builder (ビルド) for their legendary demonslaying sword. Malroth is going to fix it. He promises. No delicious friends will be devoured in the process.

(male builder is way more poorly drawn btw)Dragon Quest Builders 2 (ドラゴンクエストビルダーズ2 破壊神シドーとからっぽの島) fanart. Malroth (破壊神シドー) grasping a very annoyed female builder (クリエ) with his foot. The context is this is a recreation of a friend's photoshop, using official art, of the same scenario.

I forgot to export this before closing the unsaved file, so not very high res unfortunately.

If you go to some gardening club and start trying to play soccer in the garden bed, you will be asked to leave. But now online it's expected you have to share a field (that is neither a garden bed nor a soccer field) with the soccer players.

The metamorphosis of online individual spaces for specific purposes into one giant congealed mass has done something to people's heads. Yes, the (specific topic) forum I was on in 2006 was indeed a bubble. A bubble about (specific topic). That's literally why I was there.

Scans of all the pages of the #FireEmblem The Sacred Stones comic! Transcription in alt txt, more info in comments. #FE8 #FESS #TheSacredStones #聖魔の光石 #ファイアーエムブレム
A four panel comic page for Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, from Gamepro magazine issue 202.

First panel: "Ren'Na Township, Renais. Near the Renais-Grado border.

Two characters cross swords, a blonde with red armor and brown hair with blue armor. The blue-armored character speaks throughout all of the panels on this page.

Renais General: "I have been a subject of Renais Kingdom all of my days and an officier of King Fado's Royal Army since I was old enough to lift a sword."

"I have been taught in the ways of war, but never in my many years of knowing naught but peace did I ever concieve that I would raise my steel to fight a soldier of Grado."

"Over generations, the countries of Renais and Grado forged the most enduring alliance on this ancient continent of Magvel."

"The strength of this alliance was something I witnessed with my own eyes when King Fado of Renais and Emperor Vigarde of Grado signed a trade and defense agreement that brought our countries even closer than they had been in the past"

"Not only was Grado our neighbor..."

"Not only was Grado our ally..."

"Grado was our friend."

In the bottom left are artist/scenario credits, the GBA logo, and ESRB rating.

Story by Ken Siu-Chong
Art by Long Vo & Jeannie LeeFive panel comic page. Several soldiers in blue armor are being attacked. They are not doing well.

The Renais General from the first page continues talking across panels of him in combat with a red-armored enemy: "But all that changed this morning when our small border partol caught sight of a group of the Grado Army's advance scouts."

"They attacked without warning, chasing my men back to Ren,na and making it clear that they did not wish for news of their presence within Renais borders to reach King Fado..."

"...Even if that meant slaughtering every last person in this town."

"The presence of these scouts and their reaction to their discovery can mean only one thing--Grado has betrayed us."

"An invasion is imminent and, ashard as it is to fathom, these borders that have not seen war in generations will echo with the sounds of battle in the coming days."

"If Renais is to overcome Grado's inexplicable treachery, this battle in which my men and I have become entangled may be of graver importance than we had first though."

"The defenses guarding the Renais-Grado border have softened after the countless years of peace--it was thought that resources could be spent on more pressing needs than guarding against an invasion that would surely never come."Narration: "And now... the moment of truth..."

The Renais General clashes swords with his enemy decisively:

"Why has your emperor betrayed Renais?!"

"A war between our nations could lead to nothing but death and annhilation... perhaps for both our peoples!"

"What has driven Emperor Vigarde to this madness?!"

The Grado soldier replies:

"I do not know. Many of my friends are on your land.

"But I am a soldier of Grado and I shall obey my lord's commands..."

The Renais General is momentarily overpowered: "Uhh!"

Grado Soldoer:

"Even unto death!"

Before the Grado soldier can land the killing blow, the Renais General manages to counter and throw the weapon from his enemy's hands.The Renais general holds a blade to his bested opponent, and turns to one of his subordinates.

"Sir! Victory is ours!"

His men celebrate behind him over defeated Grado troops. "Well done, men!"

Subordinate: "Sir, we await your orders."

Renais General: "Fetch me our swiftest horses and our best riders. We must make haste toward Castle Renais... Hopefully I shall deliver news of Grado's aggression to King Fado before their forces have fully mobilized.

Subordinate: "Yes, Sir."

Narration: "Later"

Two panels of the Renais General and his men galloping on horses to the capital. They stop suddenly, in shock.

"What the-- Halt! Easy!"

"By the Sacred Stones, no... We are too late." 

The comic ends there, with the protagonist looking on in shock to something not shown on page.

and page five, archived courtesy of the Fire Emblem Wars of Dragons fansite.
In the small upper left panel the Renais General and two of his men look on in shock.

The rest of the page is a fullpage panel of Glen and Valter riding through a valley on horses.

Glen: "Valter, I do not feel at ease with this mission. I have obeyed Emperor Vigarde, and shall always do so, but to march our army upon the borders of our closest ally... troubles me."

Valter: "Do not worry yourself with such thoughts, Glen, as a man of the sword, you should relish these days. Can you not smell it in the air?"

Glen: "Smell what?"

Valter: "War... Sweet glorious war is at hand."

This is in a pretty sony/microsoft/CoD focused magazine, so I'm guessing the idea was to play up the "this is game is about a war" angle? At least that's the vibe I get.

Alas the last(?) page with Glen and Valter isn't in the magazine feature and I think was only on the advertised website? I've yet to find a high quality version of it.
