decided to overhaul my program for turning scripts for new world friends chat into actual series of text boxes. support for bold and italics! the ability to put text boxes side by side! and in general, a more cohesive design that made the above things -- and some other things as well -- possible! took quite a while, and required a lot of thinking, but i'm pretty proud of the final result.

and what better way to celebrate than by implementing a meme idea i've vaguely had for some time now! the "full-speed farewell" part of the song title "a full speed farewell from the new world" is kinda interesting, given that the song plays when you're trying to ram a big rig into someone. more like a full-speed farewell from the mortal realm.

and, well, if there's one thing in the new world that could provoke that kind of retaliation from kirby, it's probably kidnapping his new friend elfilin. and that's the basis for this post, expressed through a variation of this meme.

[accessible version here. (yes, a link from a different instance than the one i actually wrote the comment on. lemmy.world is being weird with comment links at the moment.)]

it's been a while since i've last posted one of these, hasn't it? some of it was just life getting in the way, but i also worked on two other scripts before deciding to save those for later installments.

for those who don't know, this is the third installment of a series that i'm doing in which kirby, bandana dee, and elfilin do and talk about various stuff, told through a sequence of undertale-style text boxes. it was meant to be a way for me to contribute reasonably lowish-effort yet highish-quality content to this community on a regular basis.

...yeah the "regular basis" thing didn't entirely work out this time.

anyway, hope you enjoy! feel free to give any questions, comments, and criticism you have!

and here he is with his long-awaited cover of two planets approach, along with some other new goodies! what an experience

Injured? Good..

discussion question: what's your favourite kirby song title? #kirby

trying the microblogging stuff again. let's see how the federation stuff fares this time.

kirby, like any other video game series worth its salt, is well-known for having great music. but, especially as of late, it's also well known for giving those great songs titles that go just as hard as the music itself. the good old "kirby or touhou?" quiz demonstrates one aspect of this.

so what are some kirby song titles that you really like? bonus points for songs where you like the title more than the actual song.

accessible version:

Kirby's house. Kirby's going out to take care of some business.

Kirby, smiling wide: Oh! Before I leave, I had a really cool idea that I wrote down on a piece of paper! I hid it somewhere! Try to find it! Bye!

Bandee and Elfilin, happy: Bye Kirby!

They immediately start searching for that piece of paper. Not even ten seconds later...

Elfilin, happy: Found it! He just hid it under the table. Now, what "really cool idea" did he write down...?

Elfilin, sad: ...I can't read his handwriting. Bandee, can you read it?

Bandee, sad: ...No, I can't! I can usually read his handwriting just fine, but this is some really messy handwriting, even for him!

Bandee, happy: ...For his handwriting to be this bad, he must've been really excited! Let's just ask him about it when he comes back!

Some time later...

Elfilin: Kirby! You're back! We found the paper that you hid! ...But neither of us could read your handwriting. What was your "really cool idea?"

Kirby, happy: I, um, forgot! Lemme see what I wrote again...

Kirby, frowning: ...I can't read it, either!

The end.

this is a mini-installment of New World Friends Chat, the undertale text box thing that i'm now doing. first installment here (lemmy) or here (pixelfed, which is a image-sharing fediverse platform)

...it wasn't well received :(

if you have any criticism for this project, please share it so that i can more effectively contribute nice stuff to this community! anything from technical issues to art quality to writing/characterization to you-just-don't-want-to-see-this-project-on-c/kirby. what can i do better on?

This was the first kirby plushie i ever got! @kirby #kirby #plushie #nintendo

it's meant to play in a loop, but for whatever reason lemmy seems to not do well with that

this person draws great art, including lots of great kirby art! this is one of the cuter forgotten land ones

a wonderful, lesser-known kirby "with lyrics" fanwork! to echo the pinned comment, you can view the lyrics as being from bandana dee's perspective, which makes things even cuter!

They see me rollin’…..

[screen-reader-friendly text-only version here.]

and here we are! this is the first installment of what will hopefully be a regularly updating series. kirby, bandana dee, and elfilin chat about stuff and do various other things.

i'm not good at visual art, but i am reasonably good at programming, and i figure i'm not horrible at writing dialogue (though i don't have much experience in that department). so the logical way for me to contribute original content to this community is exactly what this series will be: a thing told through the format of undertale-style text boxes, similar to stuff like Conversations from the Lunch Table. only with kirby characters instead of toby fox characters.

don't have a firm idea what i want the release schedule for this thing to look like, but my main goal with this series is for c/kirby to have a steady stream of reasonably high-ish quality oc content. i'll be posting non-oc stuff if there's ever a shortage of ideas/motivation on my end.

all in all, it was quite fun working on this project. if anyone wants source code or anything, please let me know.

hope you enjoy the new world friends' first chat of many! if you have any questions, feel free to ask them! i'll probably be having a long-overdue sleep soon, but i'll try to respond to anything i see whenever i'm awake enough to do so.

edit: changed elfilin's text color to make it less of a pain to read.

[image: a pixel art drawing of kirby's smiling face (just his face, not his limbs) against a cyan background]

this community hasn't had a post in five days, so here's something i just finished today! (it only took forever to get that mouth looking reasonably good...)

edit: moved the eyes and cheek blushes closer together because it turns out bandee would've been too wide otherwise. also revised the mouth, again. it's hard to make it look good with such a limited number of pixels, but that's the tradeoff when working with low-size pixel art: fewer pixels that need to be worked with, but also fewer pixels to work with.

edit 2: changed the background colour because it was too close to elfilin's colour.

for a while now, i've had an idea for some reasonably low-effort oc content that i could post here. would take quite a bit of upfront work (which is what i'm currently doing), but afterwards i'll hopefully be able to put something out semi-regularly for this community. not sure when i'll be done, but again, this community hasn't had a new post in 5 days (and it hasn't had a new post from someone other than KirbySSM in 11 days), so i'm making this post now.

in the meantime, i might be posting some non-oc stuff over the next few days, just so c/kirby has some new stuff to look at. i encourage everyone else to do the same -- and also comment on other people's posts, if you have something to say!
