Off to a good start I see.
Btw, I've a question about Adobe Reader. Whenever I open a heavy pdf, the page appears like a layered image. First it loads the background, then the document's various title images and then the text. Is it possible to extract separate elements such as a page's background?
Best Dazzle requires your adoration.

Here, have a fresh doodle from me.
(Literally just uploaded this to Derpibooru ten minutes ago).
Wonder how many of us can relate to this?
Always a good sign when best dazzle is being posted
Not one of my works, but thanks to whoever did draw and posted this before

The way she's sitting is just adorable. I need more this kind of these siren Dazzlings.
have this rare ari
>>27202776
Is it rare because not many artists can animate this smoothly, or because of that unbelievable smile Aria usually keeps to herself?
>>27202273
>Pick her up like longcat
>Give her eskimo kisses
>Get tail-slapped in the nuts
What's bothering her anyway?
>>27202776
Nice, didn't see that coming.
>>27202795
Nobody knows it, but Aria has a secret smile. Can you be the only guy for whom she'll use it?
>>27202871
>What's bothering her anyway?
It's Aria, you want a list?
>>27202887
Good point. I just thought it was something I did/said since she's looking at me. Okay then, cure for hysteria it is. It's sure to help with grumpiness. I'm not sure I can do it though.
>>27202981
Keep trying, you're bound to find something that works!
>>27202993
The cure for hysteria is a good screw. The problem is that I don't want to screw that. I want to take her home, raise her like my own daughter, send her to college and go swimming with her regularly.
That's a funny idea for a green. Anon goes to Equestria, adopts the Dazzlings and gets close with the only other human in horseland. The Dazzlings come to hate the manstealer and try to sabotage her. They discover and reveal that the woman is none other than Chrysalis. Which has the exact opposite effect than desired as anon is thrilled to be in a serious relationship with a shapeshifter who only needs love to survive.
>Anon carries Aria back to her room
>She interrupted an intimate moment between you and lovebug
>She is pissed off
>You drop her inside the room-sized aquarium
>"Dad?"
"Yes, Aria?"
>"Can't you find yourself some other mate? There's plenty of mares out there."
"Lil grape, we've talked about this before. Daddy can't survive on horse. He needs to eat human vagoo."
>>27201097
Much as I love Lovecraft's bestiary and lore, I feel the horror thing is nothing but a meme created by his circle of hipster friends and continued by people who are trying to convince themselves that Lovecraft's work really is as good as they've heard.
I also think he uses phrases like "things that should not be spoken" or "that I can't mention least I disturb the reader" way too often and that he does so to mask his lack of inspiration.
I kinda wonder what he'd have to say about modern storytelling mediums. He'd probably be all like "You are facing off against deep space alien spawn that are shooting eldritch bolts of sickly light at you! Why aren't you going mad?! How can you kill them with human weapons?! Who does this Duke Nukem think he is? Go insane, damn you!"
I like thinking of the Dazzlings as related to the Mythos though. Some times as extradimensional horrors who are trying to start a cult (be adored), other times a Deep Ones. That kind of stuff.
>>27203396
I'm fairly certain that most, if not all, authors have similar issues.
Personally, I prefer Lovecraft's non-Cthulhu works like Herbert West--Reanimator more. The Mythos's true brilliance was being able to drag other writers who could do a better job than Lovecraft.
>>27203396
Lovecraft's works on the Cthulhu mythos were pulished in a time where humans considered themselves still as the absolute masters of the universe, which consisted solely of the galaxy in that time, and that any deviation was seen as a curiousity. Putting humans to these eldritch monstrosities as humans put ants t themselves was seen as utterly outrageous. To note, in that time quantum physics weren't discovered, going as far as to proclaim that humans understood all of physics and it would be a waste of time to study it anymore. That was, until Dirac and his "holes" came. All in all, aside of Poe who created the graveyard and crow spookery, Lovecraft effectively invented the outlandish horror genre as well as the tentacles and slime spook. We even call the idea of aliens being essentially "gods" to our "feeble" minds Lovecraftian.
Oh, and please don't use the word "meme" inflationary. More accurate, it's a trope.

Are there any public flash puppets of the dazzles?
>>27205334
Flash puppets?
>>27205812
Like flash rigs premade of the dazles. I looked around and only found some by one guy who doesnt put them publicly, oh well i'll just have to make my own again.

>Sonata: "I said Tacos once. Now I am the Taco girl."

"Ye-yeah, sorry things didnt go down as you hope to. I think I get the wrong address again, I'll be going then.."
>"Really? Where's the address?"
"U-um, its 347 Landlubber Street?"
>"Silly, you got that right then"
"Noo, but it supposed to be the residence of Ms. Ink Person.. and you're-"
>" I am Miss Ink Person! Its my new name! Look, how about you come inside and see it for yourself?"
" I dont know, Im a bit behind schedule as usual.."
>"Dont worry, it'll be over soon if you comply. As if you've never been here!"
"O-okay then, just a quick peek, right?"
"Better make it counts then. Come on in"
And thus the door of the slaughterhouse closed again

Thanks it's cool, i'll just make my own. Was just seeing if any were out publicly.
>>27202993
Well, making Aria happy is usually achieved at the expense of others...
Reposting what anon wrote from other thread.
>The Dazzles running a Bed and Breakfast
I lol'd.
>You enter the reception of a run-down British seaside Bed and Breakfast. A sour-faced girl with garish purple pigtails doesn't bother to look up.
"It's fifty a night, breakfast is between 6 - 6:30, you take it or leave it. No smoking in the rooms, no visitors, no pets, don't ask for a sea view because there isn't one. Sonata does out the rooms at 9:30, so be out by then. Adagio provides entertainment in the evenings singing along to a Bontempi organ, if you call that entertainment."
>You frown.
"Well, this sounds terrible. I came here because this place came highly recommended."
>Aria frowns back.
"It IS highly recommended."
"Well, I don't see why."
"You didn't let me finish. The one service we offer that our competitors do not is that we're three beautiful magical teenage girls and during the night one of us will turn up in your room, suck your cock and then fuck you."
"Oh. Well, that sounds better."
"Room 4. Up the stairs. Don't try and shut the window, it's fucked."
>You turn to go, then remember.
"Oh - can you loan me an iron?"
"Iron's fucked as well."
If anyone else got ideas for bed/breakfast that the dazzlings are running leave em here.
Update on that Lovecraftian Dazzling story?
>>27207715
Not that I've heard. Though I am interested.
>>27207715
Which one?
>>27208101
Then that should mean anon's still at work on it. I should expect that though, it's a deep subject.

where is that guy who was writing the Aria Rape story?
I'd support Wee's patreon if she continued this
>>27206784
Love.
>>27209222
I have a weird fetish for this.
>>27209534
Yeah me too, but just likes doing whatever she wants.
>>27206784
That was the first thing out of her mouth as I recall. The first glimpse we got of the Dazzles was the BADDLE song. That's why it stuck.
Uh oh! You've got Aria in an embarrassing situation!
what do you do to keep her from whippin' your ass?
>>27210074
Inseminating your waifu as she shouts for you to give her your babies? If so, I'm with you.
>>27210122
Mostly the thigh trapping thing, but yeah.
>>27210128
Both are awesome,and it's not trapping if you don't intend to pull out until it's over.
>>27210086
Doesn't she do commisions?
Still work in progress. But I wanted to show you guys the progress I'm making on this. Is a collab btw. I did the lines, a friend of mine did some colors, now I'm giving it a retouch on detayls she didn't knew how to do.
>>27210415
That's really good
>>27210258
I don't think she would want to get commissioned to finish that comic, she wouldn't be putting her soul into it otherwise.
>>27210415
Looking good anon.
>>27210415
Very nice
>>27210447
I guess all you can do is inspire her then. I like how she can manage so many different styles.
>>27210107
Do it for her.
>>27210415
I always like victorious Dazzlings man. Keep Riding
Not gonna lie. I find it really amazing how /dzg/ has been keeping it going for this long. Still producing new quality content and autism free for the most part.
God speed. You magnificent bastards.

>>27212464
Dykeshit!
>>27211945
How many active writers does DZG have anyway?
>>27213129
Essentially none. BG9 comes and goes, Sal is whimsical and mentally unstable, and Cafe Dazzling isn't as active as he used to be. There's also an anon or two posting the odd green.
>>27213296
I see!
How about this:
after the dazzles lost their power, what are their personalities like?
Sonata essentially the same, but what about the other two?
>>27213296
Did mistake with me story finish?
>>27213296
Well that's still a few. Let's not undersell the work the writers we do have do.
>>27213341
I'd say that depends on the path you decide to take.
I once read that suffering makes people develop a soul, and I later saw it happen. The hardships the Dazzlings would have to endure after losing their powers would make them more considerate and less eager to add to others' misery after they've tasted it. Such a story could draw inspiration and follow the spirit of Two Broke Girls.
That's one path. If the Dazzlings aren't brave enough to move on, they'd end up descending further into their flaws. Adagio would be consumer by her anger and lash out at the other two regularly. Aria would get frustrated further and develop stress-related problems. Sonata would become even more self-indulgent due to escapism.
This kind of story would be gritty unless you play it for sociopathic laughs and portray the Dazzlings as Team Rocket.
There's always a chance that the Dazzlings found themselves under someone's wing after RR. Probably Sunset. In that case they'd go through the Vegetta Redemption. They'd still be assholes and they'd still have the same goals, but they'd play nice for the most part.
One of the green ideas I can't be arsed to write has the Dazzlings as the comical underlings of an evil, sorcerous anon inspired by No Heart.
>>27213400
Can't say I remember right now.

pressure to deliver, otherwise nice to please, but really, spontaneity helps
Back before /dzg/ I used to happily stroll around 4chan, save pretty images and then dump them all in a single folder that I then scrolled from top to bottom and felt happy.
Now look at me, spending hours saving hundreds of pics by artist and catalogueing them in folders where I'll never see them again...
Does anyone else have this problem?
>>27214312
Scruffy can eat a dick.
>>27215117
Not alone in the slightest. And yeah that's exactly how I started seven years ago, one folder for everything. Then later came the need for organization.
>>27215160
It's amusing seeing we have various (less known) artists is common.
Like I said, my problem is that there's so much good stuff that I'll only see once due to the amount of pictures as well as the folder hierarchy.
Kinda related, my Windows almost erased five years of my life completely yesternight.
>>27211945
I'm going to bed with a bruised dick tonight.
>>27215160
For my pronz, every general anatomy typehada folder: hooman/eqg,anthro (hooves), anthro (no hooves)and pone. Within each, every artist had their own folder. Within the artists folder every pic's filename started with the character's name, followed by their derpi #.I got rid of it because reasons.
>>27215240
I die a little inside whenever something I can never find again or will never have the patience to find somehow goes missing or gets deleted.
>>27215274
I managed to pull all my shit to a new profile. I'm having trouble finding things because the startup search can't find it's dick with a GPS though. I have so many thousands of pics, videos, documents and folders to catalogue....This is my life.
Don't you hate it when you're left with a bunch of pictures that belong to no category, even misc?
>to find somehow goes missing or gets deleted.
I feel you. But I also feel stressed by the knowledge that data gets corrupted and eventually all the time spent gathering all this data will have been a waste of my TTL. I want out of this...data hoarder mindset.

>>27215365
That's why I stopped collecting porn pics and deleted them all (at least the ones I could find a source to) and just rolled with saving shit to my reaction folders. This will deliver you from your paranoia and frustration.

I remember that at the end, the author revealed that they were actually dating and that it was some elaborate roleplay or something. Other than that, total blank.

"Believe me dad. I have probably heard worse things."
>"If you say so."
>You tell her about your grandfather, your mean sister, your addict mom, and your abusive ex

"Well I think I have the medicine for you."
>"And what's that my love?"
"You need some time outside to play. Come on. We're going to play some tennis."
>"Tennis?"
"Yes tennis. I chose it for a reason and you'll see why. We just have to wait for Sonata and co to return."
>You rub your cheek instinctively
>Dagi scoffs
"That girl. She has such a temper. Always has."
>"You're right about that."
"But she does it out of love. Love has always been hard for her to express. Only now are her and Sonata starting to get on better terms."
>"That's good to hear. I thought they'd never see eye to eye."
And that's all for tonight. I am literally forcing my eyes awake at this point. Night y'all. Hopefully I will be ready enough to make more. See ya in the morning.

"Afterstory" as BG refers to it, I bleieve. So yeah.
>>27209222
Noice tripsI want to impregnate the dazzles.
>see this in Dazzling's fridge
>what do?
Do you guys ever feel like this place is hurting you? Back before I watched RR, I was off the ride and on my way to relative social functionality.
But then I came across the Dazzlings and this place and I fell back into old habits, shuting myself in and undoing any progress I'd made. Worse still, this place stirs my anxieties every now and then (something that they have no need for help to do). And now the place is dead, which is another thing that saddens me.
I can't believe I'm saying it but I want off the siren ride.
>>27218765
Yeah. This I going to tie up loose ends and make for some cute and feelsy stuff. And then I will be done with TDD. I hope I'll be able to write all sorts of stuff for you guys. You've all been really good to me.
>>27220003
The ride never ends. Remember, you're here forever.
>>27219954

>>27220013
I bunch of people have gotten off it. Now it's you, me, that guy, cobwebs and the odd dead bush rolling in the distance.
>>27220082
Hey! What about me?
>>27220082
But you never truly leave. You will always want to return. Like now. The ride may slow down, but it never ends. You'll only be free in death.
>>27220008
So are you cool with someone else sorta taking up the Dazzling daughters type green once it's rapped up? I've been writing up one based off a dream I had a while back that was inspired by your green and was waiting for yours to finish up. It's a bit of a different feel. Not as cuddly but hopefully still nice.
I feel like it's just polite to ask since I my subconscious most likely used your story to help cook it up.Kisses

Like what do you mean? So long as it's not a replica of my own story I'm fine with it. You can use dadanon and the kid dazzles. Just don't make it a copy of mine ya know. Otherwise I'm game.
>>27220203
Yeah, it's not a copy. Just another kid dazzle story. It was more of a just a friendly heads up or something, I guess.
>>27220221
Absolutely. I'm all for reading kid dazzle stories.

Question. Is it right to say that someone sucks on a cigarette when he takes a breath? What other expressions are there?
>>27221462
Usually people say they "take a drag" from it.

>I'm fairly certain that most, if not all, authors have similar issues.
As a writefag I rarely hurt for inspiration on scenes and details. In fact I have great trouble getting the scene across, because it looks like a movie in my head. I often end up either overexplaning a scene or feeling I did a shit job getting it across. This is one of the reasons why I crave access to a more descriptive medium such as drawing. I'm incompetent as fuck though. I can't even draw a symmetrical smiley.
Today's horror writers face the added difficulty of having to describe unspeakable acts to an audience constanly exposed to graphic violence.
>The Mythos's true brilliance was being able to drag other writers who could do a better job than Lovecraft.
This had never crossed my mind. It's a damn great idea.
>>27222752

>>27203921
>were published in a time where humans considered themselves still as the absolute masters of the universe
And today's humans were raised with movie upon movie of depictions of otherworldly beings. From weird-ass friendly aliens such as E.T. to weird-ass hostile aliens such as the ones in Arrival and Independence Day.As a teen I liked to think that all these depictions were aiming to condition humanity to not lose it's shit in case secret human-alien relations went to hell and we found ourselves reenacting Mars Attacks. But judging by people's reactions to horror media, most westerners are even afraid of their friggin' shadow. I dunno, people who get spooked playing Amnesia or FNAF really piss me off.
Anyway, my point is that people haven't changed much.
And since we're speaking about Lovecraft's stories, did it bother anyone else that in the Colour Out of Space the farmer didn't throw some dynamite down the well as soon as he realized that something unholy was dwelling there?
>Trope not meme
The meme thing was a comment on how good his circle of friends claimed he was on writing his thing, not his genre, themes etc.
Hey guys, been a whileeeee.
Anyway, the loops i've been working on from back then i think i finally figured out what to do with.
Since i've been learning to code, and made that engine that works for VN/other for my pony waifu sim i thought i'd do a quick test run and use it for a smaller game and i figure i'd make it with the dazzle loops.
The idea i had is this:
Anon arrives at a bed and breakfast (it's summer, perhaps it's raining and questriamaps found that as the closest location to a beach).
The bed and breakfast is run by sirens (and is the sire B&B by the sea).
When anon arrives the place is pretty dilapidated, with sonata being the one maining the front desk and thinking that you are the guy she sent savings she had over the internet to come help them (she got scammed).
So you decide to stay and help for whatever reason (or if not the game just ends with a broken house as game over sign or something).
The game then works like this: every 7 days you have to play some kind of mini game (which is what i'm trying to figure out, open to all ideas) and hit a goal to keep the house afloat for one week.
During morning/evening is when the VN dialogue parts take place.
Then after the first week, the sexual innuendo picks up and if you do well you get to bed Sonata, then the same for the next 7 days for aria and then adagio (with the total of 4 weeks to win), and this is where those loops i was working on occur instead of just a strip club auto loop (ill make a go to porn insta option too for those who dont want the VN part).
After that you get a happy end where anon stays to help them run the place.
The ideas i need help with is what kind of "game" takes place between morning/evening, and what kind of requirements are needed to make a week successful.
>>27222879
Based. Not only did you not forget, you expanded on the ideas. Glad you're back here.
I think the mini games should correlate to the Dazzling you're helping that week and to what their specific jobs are. If Sonata is front desk then help her with being up front, advertising their features as a B&B, helping people in, etc. Finances for Adagio? Cleaning for Aria since I can't see her wanting to be front desk?
For the VN aspects I think it would be important to tie them into bedding the Dazzles. That way there's more than one way to play the game where you can help them run the business, but if you don't give the proper VN answers for the evenings and mornings then you'll just be a friend. Or maybe that's too complex? I dunno, I just feel like it's a good tie in so that there's incentive to do well in both the mini games and the VN segments.
>>27222879
What type of VN play would this be? Is it more like a side thing to characterize the Dazzles without a fail state or can you get a game over if you fuck up with those? Either way the Mini games should be something interesting without being too complicated, since you're just making this as a "test". Click and Drags, Match Making and Timed Click type games will be your friend I think.
>>27222879
Welcome back. The concept of playing minigames and chatting it up with girls in order to bed them reminds me of Leisure Suit Larry, so I'd look there first if I were you.
I'd love to suggest minigames and the situations they'd revolve around, but I'm traveling in a few hours and I need to get some sleep.
>>27222879
I'm very very very very interested
>>27222937
Sorry i meant the mini game would be every day, not once every 7 days. Just something you're "managing" during the day. Whether its assing roles or something else entirely i'm unsure.
>>27222958
Not sure, maybe just funny scenes to go with the story. Could be entirely linear. Otherwise it would be just a grand total of 30 days before BB goes broke, and then you'd bed only one siren if it's a traditional VN style with what answers you give (which can be, im undecided).
>>27222879
Did you ever finish up that club short? I don't remember seeing it anywhere, but remember there being some kind of intro you showed us.
Also how big are you planning on making this game? I like the idea, but lots of people on /mlp/ tend to not finish projects.Looking at you LSA
>>27222993
Multiple routes gives more replayability, but is more work. Since the Dazzlings are basically (Maybe really are) sisters it wouldn't be out of the question for them to be too jealous to share you, on the other hand they're magical temptresses and them all fucking one dude wouldn't be strange either.
Funny tie in scenes sound good, game doesn't really need to be serious aside from the Dazzles being serious about wanting to keep the business running.
>>27222997
The club short scenes is what i'm transposing into this. Yeah i don't wanna make it too big, but with a "game" and VN sprites/dialogue it could fill the space without being too large.
>>27223017
Yeah i'd prefer to have the reaplaibiltiy be maybe in the minigame and if you can fail a week and have to start over to unlock scenes?
I do like the idea that after loosing their magic of chaos they are drawn to love energy and learn to share anon. I know it's shtity harem type but i like that kinda ending for them.
>>27222879
Am i delusuional guys?, is he actually doing it?
>>27223035
Choices of mini games could be a good solution to the more work/replayability dilemma. Have multiple choices of mini games, one or two per Dazzle, and who you help determines who you talk to more in the VN segments and who you get to fug. Maybe, if you really want a harem end, there's a sweet spot ending that gets you all three, but is harder. That way you can balance how much dialogue you have to write and can implement the mini-games more.
>>27222993
That doesn't sound bad, but if you make us play 30 days worth of mini games I hope they're short and varied. If they're all the same they could get a bit old.
>>27223035
Oh cool. Are you planning on just using the ones you made or making more? Either way multiple outfits would be good. Uniform lewds are god tier.
>>27223035
Minigame idea. Anon helps a dazzling gather bedcovers for laundry.
The screen is split in two. On the top half is the upper floor where the rooms are. The bottom half is the bottom floor. Anon runs left and right with a laundry basket while the Dazzling is throwing pillowcases and balled up bedsheets from the various doors (or windows if you want to make it outdoors) of the upper floor.
>>27222879
Cleaning, cooking, paying bills and drawing customers sound like good ideas for mini-game themes.
>>27223081
Don't just gawk. Give the man ideas dammit.
>>27223119
I had more i didn't upload, they were just sitting on my drive for a a while.
>>27223095
True, but i'd like the game to have a VN dialogue/interaction so it feels more like an actual story than lose events. It's why i've grown to like VNs, since i already liked fanfics/clopfics.
>>27223120
>>27223145
Keep the ideas coming hah, the more i have to pick from the better.
>>27223213
Then I'd suggest making it a balance of VN and mini-games. Maybe have it be a mini-game every two days instead of one so you don't have to worry as much about variety in the games and can focus a little more on the fun of the story.
>>27223213
Minigame idea. Anon has to clear the cellar of rats. Point and click. The screen is a pic of the cellar. There are rats darting around. You catch them by clicking on them. If you know know how to do it, you could have the rats increase speed as you catch more (they bocome aware of you).
We're getting paid for these, right?
>>27223213
Looking forward to it then.
For an idea: Setting up the complimentary breakfast in the morning after an early morning special event with one of the Dazzlings. Like a progress flag along with the game to show they're getting somewhere.
>>27222879
Your game idea reminds me of this one Japanese game with an similar premise; the player is a "professional" who's called in to rescue a high-class brothel fallen on hard times, and the game play was about managing the girl's schedules to get the girls properly trained (etiquette, sexual skill, cleaning) and to bring in enough money by the end of the allotted time. Along the way you had to deal with important customers, and to progress the game you had to get to know the girls to find out how best to help them/break them.
Not sure that's the direction you want to take your game in, but it's something to think about.
>>27222879
The victory condition should be to complete enough of the games to help their business along, with some kind of progress bar indicating vacancies in the B&B or maybe amount of customers per etc. Getting one of the girls should unlock something special and getting all of them should get you a secret.
>>27223213
You could just cop out and go with a Bejeweled style minigame, if you want. I dunno. Maybe throw in a gag minigame in which you just have to click as fast as you can to beat your dick for bonus points.
>>27223323
Yea i know of slave trading games, but idk, i just want to make the dazles be cute and sexy and have a happy end instead.
>>27223385
Maybe the look of the B&B from the outside gets better every week, but if you fail a week it auto fails the game and shows dazzle in a box.
>>27223415
Huniepop is that you?
Minigame idea. You are performing a duette with a dazzling in front of the B&B in order to advertise the place. The screen shows anon and the Dazzling. You are supposed to press the keys the dazzling tells you to in the exact momentin order to dance along with her.
Another minigame idea. Anon has to drive to a store and quickly bring something back. 2D sidescroller with repeating background. Anon is on a scooter and has to move up and down and drive like a retard to avoid open manholes, traffic, pets aand pedestrians.
Another minigame idea. One of the dazzlings invites anon to come play videogames with her. Single-screen point-and-click like in the Cellar minigame, but with a Doom 2 look. You could call it "BOOM".
Another minigame idea. A dazzling invites anon to the beach for their day off. There they play tennis or volleyball. The minigame itself will be a game of Pong.
I should be sleeping...
>>27223415
Seconding masturbation mini-game. Make it optional.If you do it enough times while making certain dialogue choices you get a secret where X Dazzling walks in on Anon.
>>27223442
>>27223471
Great ideas, i'll take them into consideration and how/if they fit. Also rolling into bed now as well, will check in the morning!
>>27222879
Saves or no saves? This is important.
>>27223213
Mini games:
Cook pancakes
> Timed cooking, bubbles on uncooked side indicate doneness
> Flip pancake, have to guess when to flip
> ~3 seconds less than it took to cook the first side
Fetch for Guest
> Show the user a list of towels, soap, etc that the guest needs
> Show store room shelves, retrieve specified items
> Show guest, using randomly generated guests from eqg universe, varying amounts of lewd or comedic posing/combinations

animation is hard and time consuming ;_;
>>27225987
when you throwin some for us, mayde?
>>27225971
Imo it's the animation scene in general that doesn't have many artists. And most of them rarely produce more than one video. It must be hard.
I wouldn't mind learning a bit about the fundamentals of Flash though. Maybe someone could put together a short list of links and advice like Fig did for drawfagging.
>>27223567
Every self-respecting minigame collection has at least one tedious button mashing game in it. Sooo
Minigame idea. A button masher where anon either dices vegetables, grates cheese, or scrubs persistent stains off dishes, tables or the floor.
