I also wrote some notes on Valerian’s (also here) pre-game history and general traits. I love the idea of there being characters in kin that aren’t playable and have their own stories going on amidst the main one.

I sat in a sunny spot and wrote up character notes for a tiny old bug witch that acts as an item vendor and somewhat major character in game. She’s called Calendula and I can see myself having so much fun when it comes to writing her dialogue.
These notes are for my personal use so I might touch topics I haven’t discussed here yet? I figure I might as well post them here though, keep...

tinbot:
this is a pretty dramatic sketch! do you think you’ll do a more finished version of this particular picture? and neat mythology connection with balance and the sword and all
yeah maybe! I’d have to actually look at beetles from the front rather than just… make it up… could be cool to finish it - I don’t have many finished things of jason

the other day I started a sideblog just for posting images that’ll serve as reference and inspiration for Kin! it’s over here.
so far it’s had me thinking about the architectural styles of the bug city and the ghost hotel. I’m leaning towards an eastern feel for the bug city (with links to hindu art specifically) and a general baroque theme for the hotel, all old and...
Anonymous asked you: If you do that cowboy thing are you thinking of doing your normal silhouette or a big fancy one?
fancier!

I really like the idea of my pixel cowboy guy being a sort of narrator to kin, even if only for the very start. wrote down a scripty sort of drabble to try and flesh out this idea a bit - this’d act as an opening to the game I imagine.

pixelatedcowboy:
condensed info about Kin and the two characters I pixeled earlier if anyone’s interested! this isn’t everything, but it covers the kids and the basic layout of their world at least.

dang, haven’t had much time to post kin ideas lately - uni’s keeping me busy right now and that’s for sure. still think about it a bunch though, lots of little new ideas that I just have to join up.
here’s a silly idea though. the only living thing in the hotel is a small white kitten that comic’s named milk. it chases ghosties and dustymites and is adorable. once it...

thinking about the role of poetry and language in both the bug and fish people’s societies. wrote some short little dabble examples that I want to include in books and such found in game that refer back to the idea of life and death and how jason and comic are tied to them. I want players to learn of the kids’ mythological backgrounds through the cultures of the other species, and,...
