Okay you know what?

Grace and Fury! Duo gets snek'd (turned into snakes)-

What chaos would occur?

Aven is relatively unbothered depending on the variety of snake. If he’s like a random garden snake that’s when he’d be displeased lol. he doesn’t like being smol

Edda is, as always, very excited. I think she’d be a python so she can give really good hugs. Tho she would be a lil sad she can’t give Aven a lil kiss anymore.

now I just have the image of them as snakes, staring blankly with the “no thoughts, head empty” expression while Edda occasionally flicks her tongue out to lick him. its like a lil snake kiss

Scratchy, simple, not my best work. but dammit @spectralgecko put all the effort into making the prompts so I gotta do at least one

Startober Day 2- Burning

A Demon is Born

Aight question about/for the Grace and Fury duo:

Can they eat, and if so, what's their favorite food(s)? Or something they'd really like to try?

(Also, if Aven could take Edda anywhere on earth as a date, would he and where?)

They cant eat but that won’t stop me from telling u their fav foods if they could

Edda likes seafood like crabs and sushi, but her favorite would probably be some variety of salad, with her having a particular affinity for croutons. Her favorite candy is snickers.

Aven’s favorite food is soup, something simple like tomato or the broth of a veggie stew. Though toast is a close second. His favorite candy is sour gummy worms.

He’d take her to Rome :) to see the architecture, all the views and such. He’d bring her to a nice dinner place and be extremely nervous about it. And he’d also bring her to the colosseum and completely nerd out about Roman history.

And then after dark. He’d find a way to sneak them inside said colosseum. And they’d have a gladiator duel and Edda would be the happiest star alive. Bcuz she likes the history of medieval combat.

…

HOLY SHIT I JUST HAD THE BEST FIC IDEA GUYS SO AVEN TAKES HER TO ROME AND-

Just out of curiosity.

How.

On.

Earth.

Did.

You.

Write.

Grace and Fury.

In.

The.

Span.

Of.

Two.

Months?

Duality's pushing little over seven months old and we are just over the halfway point-

Being ultra-hyperfixated on worldless for… about two months before hand, without a chance to properly ramble about it. Plus no content or community to enjoy that I could find at the time. I was HYPED.

and, admittedly, I sacrificed a lot of quality writing so quickly. Grace and Fury isn’t bad, some chapters (chapter 9) are some of my best work. But there’s a lot of wonky pacing, a few contrivances I’m not proud of, and Edda and Aven’s characters aren’t as consistent as I think they should be. And a lot of typos. And a

It’s not bad!! I love Grace and Fury, as it is, and what it represents is important to me as a writer. But it is my first work, so it’s… not perfect lol.

In short! Infinite motivation, being in love with writing since I’d just started, and by sacrificing some quality. Duality is a better fic in a lot of ways, but I do still love Grace and Fury a lot. :)

Aven: WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?! HE COULD HAVE HAD HOPES AND DREAMS, HE COULD HAVE HAD A FAMILY!!!

Edda: Aven-

Edda: It- it was just an ant-

so i saw a post about Aven doing a cartwheel in one of his attack animations and some confusion around it. idk if anyone figured it out, but i do know why he does that

if you perfect time all of Aven’s midair melee string, including the punch after he kicks them back to the ground, he’ll cartwheel-kick them back up in the air. it’s like the extra strike at the end of Edda’s axe string, and adds more absorption damage to the combo.

this game has a ton of lil things like that. and that reminds me of a post I’ve wanted to make.

this game has the one of deepest, most complex, highest skill-ceiling combat I’ve ever played. and I will be ranting about it soon.

mwehehehehe…

YAAAAAAAY ANOTHER WORLDLESS ENJOYER!!!! <33333333333333

AHG THE THEY THEYRE SK CUTW

I luv very much

Freak this. Worldless.

WORLDLESS HAS ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST COMBAT SYSTEMS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AHHHHHHHHHH

I’ll never be able to properly express all of it but I’m gonna try. very long post, here’s a cut. also spoilers for both the combat’s endless depth and some story stuff, this assumes you’ve at least reached a certain almost perfect foe. enjoy!!!! >:)

the perfect timing function is appropriately, perfect. every combo, ranged, close, basic has an addendum hit with bonus absorption damage that only works if you press the button at the right time. Some are told to you, like the melee strikes after ranged combos or the axe and seal. but the midair combos have them too. and the basics. and they work with quick swap. Almost any move can become any other move with enough precision. and knowing which one’s can combo into which adds yet more depth and variety.

but wait a damn minute, it doesn’t stop there! Different addendum hits do different things. Aven’s seal addendum has him dash back, so if you want to stay close, it’s sometimes faster to just combo out of the second seal hit. But Edda’s axe cannot combo out until the end strike, and you can quick swap to Aven at the end of said strike, which causes him to do the same backdash move. that’s like. four different factors to decide mid-combat if it’s a good idea. ON ONE MOVE.

holy fuck, there’s so much more!! Edda’s charged basic does more damage if you perfect time the release, but that same perfect timing launches the opponent. and placing an opponent in the air switches a whole lot of shit around, so sometimes you really don’t want them in the air. so you have to decide if you want to time it right. the perfect release, what was once just a “do more damage” skill check, now has depth and player choice. even if it’s small, it’s remarkably enthralling to play.

good fucking lord, I haven’t even mentioned techniques. both characters get three. all combo out of everything and anything. and they all have different functions. AND BY THE WAY!!! at any time, you could have one, or two techniques ready. not only does that open ridiculously cool and damagaing combos, unified division and glance of tomorrow fucking DOUBLE that depth of choice. save, spend, spam, whatever, it’s your choice!!!!

and I haven’t even touched the defensive turn.

When you first get Aven, he seems useless defensively. why halve damage when you could negate it with Edda’s parry? evade is slow to start and end, parry is automatic. It feels like a safety net, an option to use when you don’t know the parry timing. so is Aven useless defensively once you get good? you know the answer. not even close.

first, deflect. Extra absorption damage for good release timing, making defend more skill-based. healing deflect, which further encourages skillful timing to maximize damage. and assimilation is the cherry on top. with the improved assimilation, you will always be able to fully heal from the damage you took defending, assuming you timed your deflects right. and healing on its own is useful for obvious reasons. and you get massive all-element damage. and a turn interrupt against magic-based attacks (including Summum’s fucking evisceration triangle). AND IT LOOKS COOL AS SHIT. SO THE DAMAGE IS NOW WORTH IT AND DID I MENTION A DEFLECT NEGATES ABSOPRTION METER LOSS

and then you get learning parry timings, learning deflect timings. taking into account elemental weakness, perfecting defense. learning what can be guard-impacted and what can be assimilated. perfecting your timing and maximizing speed through precision. figuring out that seal reveals all block types (get fucked Summum), learning what things are too fast to deflect. it never. fucking. ends.

this game’s skill ceiling has shot so far up it stabbed the ones from above in the eye. you are never too good to keep learning. I have 100%ed this game three fucking times, beat the lightning nightmare as only Aven, beaten Summum more times than any sane human should. and I haven’t truly mastered it. because GODDAMIT, WHEN DO YOU USE THE CHARGED AXE?!?!?!

even after all I’ve done, I am not perfect. I miss my timings, I miss my parries, forget what combos into what. I literally learned like- one month ago that teleporting in after a ranged string is slower than the dashing strike unlocked in the skill tree, and now I can’t hold forward all the time in order to perfect my timing.

this game’s combat is near-perfect. Summum levels of almost perfect foe, maybe more. it is addicting and deep and fluid on almost all skill levels, from spamming Edda’s bow to beating Summum with your eyes closed. I love it with all my heart, and it is the best combat system I have ever played. ever.

thank you for reading. go try to beat that almost perfect foe again ;)

SQUAVEN IM CRYING

Edda doodles for u guys 💥💥💥

Sorry for not posting by the way im feeling lazy

Squaven

I love Aven’s >:) it’s so him and the eyes!! that’s so cool. ough. love this

Ok. Here is the another art.

And also the Path of Determination is the reason why I am half dead.

GUYS. I ACTUALLY UPDATED SWITCHING HANDS

here it is. have fun. I think next chapter somebody’s getting their new ranged weapon, maybe smthn else. luv u guys buh byeeeee

booted up worldless about ten minutes ago to do some combat for funsies and now I’m starting my 7th playthrough

ough. luv this game

Scugs ur Starfolk

this is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen someone do in this game but also

that guard impact spent its whole life preparing for this moment and you just. didn’t.

imagine the heartbreak you have caused. how could u do this to them.

massive win for the edda community

Hi, I just finished wolrdless. I had 2 runs, actually, bc I did my own run with 1 day and do the ending way too early.

My second run is with my friend. We used parsec to play on remote, and it was so stupid that it was fun. we used the attack round animation to switch hands, and it was way harder to play this way. It is so silly

Also, I want to ty to let me know this game existed, and now I gotta go farm achievement now

:0 yaaaaaayyy!!!!! welcome to the cult!!!!/silly

so happy I could introduce you to this wonderful game, even happier that you liked it. Hope you enjoy playing more of it :D

writing Aven having a knife fight with a spider while listening to a song called knife fight rn

this is why I writing

“Absolute power, but only for a moment…”

“Pure godhood. Transcendence of the being.”

“In the name of Duality, for this war’s end, and polarity’s destruction…”

“BURN!!!”

Perspective practice with Duality that quite literally spiraled into messing with brushes. And writing poetry.

Late Startober Day Five- Transcendence I suppose :P

something… vaguely associated with rendering/shading practice?? maybe?

essentially how I saw Edda in @mystic-131’s Duality fic cuz I’m bad at visualizing stuff I read so I was just like

Edda. but with cloak. got it. lol

if Summum was placed into a modern worldless au do you think he’d start his own airline company where he is the one and only plane the company owns so the flights are super fast but they only allow like 20 ppl per flight

like it’s a lil expensive, and can be tight to schedule. but if u missed ur flight, or it got cancelled, or you just generally need to be far away rlly fast. he’s ur guy.

I can't make decisions, so I will leave my other new game choice to public opinion.

P.S, the first one I got was Wobbledogs cause I love nature + genetics
