New reference sheet dropped - meet Natey! He's a green bug and a shift manager at NateyCORP Huge shoutout to @pastelpersimmon.bsky.social for putting this together for me and using both art I've drawn, and creating some amazing turnarounds for Natey and laying it all out in such an incredible way
A character reference sheet for Natey, a small, green bug. It details out his size, palette, and small details about his character:

"Antenna move with emotions"

"Natey is Context Sensitive"

"Natey can wear clothes when he wants to, but bugs don't need clothes"

"Nubs for hands but has fingers when needed"

There's a note written by his backpack that reads "Can hold anything!"

Think of the cool moveset you could make with all of the different crystal transformations and powerups
the titular character from Glover, an N64-era platformer, sitting with their transformed crystal next to them

is there a name for the combat system/mechanic Quest 64 and Aidyn Chronicles share with the big circle you can only move around in per turn?

There's a large circle of white markers where the main character can move on the combat field.A screenshot of combat from Quest64. You can see a bright circle marking the area where the player is able to move on this current turn of combat.

the cool thing about going through your art folders is you rediscover things you completely forgot that you even drew. I give you: Natey in Mom Jeans
