Alright, guess so.
Hey, uh, I don't know if I ever even did an introduction before, but here I am making an AMA now.
Not gonna lie, I'm not entirely sure how to man one of these threads, but I'll be figuring that out as we go along, I suppose. I'll also format this better once I get a couple of things done for this.
A few rules:
1) Please don't post more than 3 questions per post; I'm going to have a stroke if I have too many questions at once.
2) You gotta wait a few hours before asking more questions; if 3 other people have posted questions after yours, though, feel free to go again.
3) Don't be weird; I'm not three, and most people on here probably aren't, either, so nobody's going to laugh. Keep common sense in mind, too.
A bit about me before we start:
I'm an artist, and I work on pixel art, pencil art, digital drawing and, on and off, music! Three of those things can be found in my Signature, while the music thing is still very much a work-in-progress. Everyone just knows me for the pixel art, though. Fair.
I'm a video game nerd, and I will veeery much use all the jargon available in a game if you're even vaguely familiar with any of the concepts. I will try to explain things, though, but, uh... I'm also not the best at communicating my thoughts, which I guess completes the "art kid" stereotype.
I actually really love going outside. I just... almost never will do so unless I have a friend with me. Still working up the confidence to go at it alone; I'm gettin' there.
I also like listening to music a lot, but I'm not really fond of any one genre in particular; I judge each song I hear individually.
I'll keep each question I answer in this spoiler, here, with the newest ones being at the top! I might also categorize them if I actually get more than, like, 3 people asking me stuff and I actually have a lot of answers to keep sorted. Check here just in case I've answered your question already!
You see the girl in my profile picture, Escence Nirom? Yeah, she's part of that, as are several other characters that you can find in my Art Space (which I haven't actually updated fully; it's a surprising amount of work, and I'm lazy). I can try to summarize the main plot, but I don't do that often, so it's going to take me a long
ing time. If you really want me to try, you can use a question for it, but don't expect me to answer it right away.
Well, I guess it would be Repurposing Old Console Content, if I had to pick one, though Elemental Equipment is an extremely close second.
He seems to never be on much, though, so I may revoke my permission if I don't see any progress with his mod soon. (And also a slight bit since he wanted to change the new gems in my Elemental Equipment suggestion to the Thorium ones; can you believe that?!)
I'm not gonna tell you which one that is, and it's not directly linked in my signature.
ing flip if Repurposing Old Console Content was implemented.
I'm literally working with someone right now, but, uh, he's M.I.A. a lot, so I may need to find somebody else. I don't think I trust folks that worked on Calamity, though.
Thank you so much, man! Your kind words are immensely appreciated!
A good example of this idea, despite being outdated (though, really, with my work ethic on these things, what isn't?), is my "The Lively World of Rain" suggestion, which attempts to add a plethora of additional fish and Nimbi to the Rain event. As you'll see there, a lot of the sprites look similar to the Goldfish and Angry Nimbus sprites while looking unique enough in its own right. I don't know what your skill level with spriting is right now, but if you're really not sure of what to do, I'd advise drawing directly off of a pre-existing sprite and going from there.
When it comes to colors, it obviously depends on what you're making, but try to pick a certain few and stick with them. Having too many colors when the sprite doesn't really call for it can make the sprite a bit of an eyesore, not to mention less cohesive. Note how the Corruption in Terraria tends to stick to a purple, green, and brownish color scheme, while the Crimson goes with its namesake, as well as pinks and browns, and the occasional blacks.
You also want to know where the light is coming from in your art. If the light is above the sprite, you want to have lighter values on top and shaded values lower. I'm pretty sure all sprites that are shaded in Terraria have the light source in front of them, though.
has never tried broccoli thanks to that smell, so I couldn't say. It looks like a tree, though, so it gets points for that.
That smell is a solid 3 outta 10.
Say what you want about it, but the Frost Armor looks freakin' sick.
...The Crawdad. It does literally nothing in any aspect; its ability to traverse water unhindered is irrelevant due to its slothlike speed.
, and I loaded up on potions. As far as I'm concerned, that thing is far too much of an unbalanced show for an arena to work.
I don't remember very well.
1. A Snow biome near an Ocean that's a bit closer to the center of the world.
2. Having the Underworld's Ruined House clusters appear at different parts of the Underworld with every world.
3. The Dungeon and Jungle possibly appearing closer to the center of the world, or even across a closer Ocean.
4. The Crimson and Corruption spawning exclusively underground upon world generation, with a deteriorated tunnel leading to them via a surface opening.
You've already seen my take on Accessories with Accessory Rejuvenation, and I've tackled the issue on multiple other suggestions as well, but something I'm working on right now is adding Expert Mode and Master Mode behaviors to most, if not EVERY, enemy in the game. I can share the Doc with you, if you'd like, as long as you promise to not divulge its contents to anyone else.
I'm aware that all that would take a colossal amount of work to code, but, as per usual? I say that's what it takes to make a quality product.
The Obsidian Boots are a different story; they just feel like an unnecessary extra step.
Master Mode doesn't have 7 cuz I think it'd be cool to have the 6th slot boost its accessory somehow.
exictement
Definitely a 20. That would actually be really sick, though I have no idea how Relogic would pull off Bloon attacks in Terraria, especially when considering the track-based nature of Bloons Tower Defense (well, I DO have an idea, but I'm not really willing to go into depth right now).
, that's a hard one. I almost wanna say the Handfake from Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, since that's what inspired me to make the Muckery. Probably the Ice Bro, just 'cuz I really like ice stuff in video games.
ing adorable and it's ice and it's vanilla and I love it.
In terms of actual gameplay and not me being all mushy over big bad turtle guy being cool, the fight was also incredibly fun, and two of Bowser's attacks in particular have the Bros. attempting to save each other from damage, which, AAAAAAA my heart. The fight was actually pretty challenging, too, which I am still extremely grateful for.
Uno (Flip)'s fun, too, though Dos is a waste of tree.
Haha, you fool, I don't HAVE an address. Or money, actually; going on a vacation would be amazing but also I'll never be that rich.
...Maroon.
yeah, parkour's AWESOME!
Now, ask away!

No I have not, though I'm working with one guy to add in several ideas in as a mod.Storm Diver_102 said:Have you ever added any of your sprites to the game, via texture pack? (I know you don't mod, unless you do)

Yes, her name is Escence Nirom, the Passion Burning.Storm Diver_102 (in reference to my profile picture at the time) said:
Is that your OC in your profile?
I don't remember how many times I've used the images in posts, but I have 14 different Escence emotes for personal use as of right now.Storm Diver_102 said:
Well, I'm largely self-taught, save for the very useful feedback I've received on my suggestions over the years. One thing I tend to do a lot that can be helpful is to use sprites that look similar to what you want as reference.Sir. Fluff (This one was asked on my profile right before I made this thread) said:

Pencil, easily. I love love love LOVE shading with it, and drawing with a pencil just feels really nice.Lihzahrd Scout said:
Uh I probably wouldn't believe it. If we had proof, though, I'd probably spend the time we supposedly had left with my girlfriend, even if I were a bit skeptical about the world's end.
Who? Just kidding; no, I don't. I don't have too much knowledge on it, either, save for E X T E R M I N A T E.Lihzahrd Scout said:

Solar, despite it making me want to punch somebody out, because I like the color scheme and also I am the Melee man. Stardust is a close second.Storm Diver_102 said:

Definitely the Amarok. I'm fully aware of how useless Frostburn is, but that doesn't make seeing the light from enemies inflicted with it any less pleasing.Face Monster said:

Oh, I have not touched Calamity past the first 2 minutes of playing. I vaguely remember hearing a song by... DM DORUKO(? I probably spelled that wrong), but it was so disgustingly non-Terraria that I didn't even bother remembering it. Let it be known now that I despise Calamity to the fullest extent.Sir. Fluff said:
I really like the sense of exploration I get when I start a new game and go mining. I miss the feeling I had when I first bought this game of not knowing what to expect; I really wish the basic structure of the world was more loose and random, as in, having biomes and structures appear in more random locations in the world. A few examples I have would be:J Bame said:
1. A Snow biome near an Ocean that's a bit closer to the center of the world.
2. Having the Underworld's Ruined House clusters appear at different parts of the Underworld with every world.
3. The Dungeon and Jungle possibly appearing closer to the center of the world, or even across a closer Ocean.
4. The Crimson and Corruption spawning exclusively underground upon world generation, with a deteriorated tunnel leading to them via a surface opening.
I suppose that tangent could answer your final question, but I think I'm gonna go a bit broader (and a bit ballsier) and say that I wish I could inject a bit more... creativity, into the mix??? This probably doesn't really answer your question (and if so, just take the world structure thing, I guess), but Terraria's enemies and accessories, in particular, suffer from being largely boring and simplistic in function.J Bame said:

Enchanted Boomerang and a Flare Gun for long-range damage. No armor, only Lesser Healing Potions.Storm Diver_102 said:
I mean, really, King Slime. Having a couple of spiked blobs as backup doesn't really do much if you know what you're doing, and being able to "teleport" doesn't help it as much as you'd think.Storm Diver_102 said:
Maybe make it so that Hardmode enemies spawned via statues have half stats when spawned during PreHardmode. But other than that, I'd want to add more, actually.Storm Diver_102 said:

ing adorable and it's ice and it's vanilla and I love it.Dreamy Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Seeing Bowser finally doing things right and gaining ultimate power made me feel so happy for him; it was so awesome! What made things even better (and I noticed this thanks to a YouTube comment) is that Dreamy Bowser could have summoned literally anything to destroy the Bros. with, but he opted to summon his army of minions, who have failed to defeat the Bros. time and time again, in dream form to defeat them, which gives such a heartwarming implication between the relationship between Bowser and his army.FoxesLikeBoxes said:

The smell of rain hitting the earth is called "petrichor". You probably already knew that, but it's a really nice name for a really nice smell and I really appreciate that both it and the smell exist.J Bame said:
