[The Void Project] BACK FROM THE DARKNESS

[toxapex]

Ahh, the dump... I loved the basket/soccerballs...

When you release fish and bugs, they get sent to the void. Does that mean the void is filled with sea bass? Because that'd be scary xD

to set free, is not as to void

 

[CainWolf]

to set free, is not as to void

Really? But in terms of the game releasing fish is deleting them as data, not even bells remain to imply they even existed. Besides someone was saying that presents shot down over water go to the void so why not fish? Or do we still have to make that cannon before it counts?

Also, I made a comic featuring my Curlos for this week's canon contest on the void's environment. I kinda figure that some people think of the void's sky as blank white and others think black darkness with things that might be stars so I'm trying to show the void as having a day/night cycle but without a pretty sunset or anything, just white fading to black. That way people can go either way when drawing stuff.

Tumblr Update:
It has been decided that the Tumblr's background will be the "Starry Night."

I'm going to make a few minor edits to it and play around with the coding.
I am no coding expert but I will be switching the Tumblr to the Redux theme. I will be looking for codes through tumblr to see which one looks best for the The Void Project.

I am also planning to have a "Submit" Feature added to it as well. Anyone who has a tumblr will be able to submit questions and/or stories they have.

That is all for now

CainWolf - your comic is awesome! I saw it earlier and was doodling grumpy Curlos. I cannot match the hipster vibe of the amazing blue scarf, however

Venice - awesome job!! Can't wait to see what you pull together

I'm sorry I've haven't been very active these past few days, and I'll continue to not be quite as active except for mindlessness for a few weeks! May is always crazy. I'll do my best to show up as often as I can!

As a quasi-apology, here are some silhouette comics about Delete:

Spoiler: Plot Reset

 

[CainWolf]

Thanks, I was mainly trying to showcase the environment but that bright blue scarf is a beacon that draws all the attention isn't it? Also, he is still using that comic sans, that is hipster psycho Curlos's font and he is sticking to it.

You'll take this scarf when you unravel it from my cold dead neck... And you'll take this font when you... pry it from my... keyboard? Do you pry fonts from a keyboard? No, when you... remove it from my font options menu... Yes that's it...

 

[Jesusfreakette]

LOL! That will be epic! The day the Void tries to delete Comic Sans from Curlos' font options menu.

Although the environment is still solid! I like how you did the bridge in the top two. And the background gets progressively darker.

can ya add freckles to the population

Hello! I'm Qwerty, and I work together with MayorMae who runs the weekly challenge, to create Competitions with prizes! (oooh)
All the contest details will be written in purple, like it is here.
More details will be released soon, and will be every month to every 3 months. I haven't really decided yet, oops. The competitions will range from writing tasks to drawing and sketching competitions.

I am also working on creating a chat for us all to bounce ideas off of each other and for us staff members on this thread to converse. Of course, this hasn't been established juuuust yet
If you have any questions, or have come up with an idea for a competition, please PM me!

​

 

[Qwerty111]

Oh yeah can you add Henry the smug frog to the void? He got TTed out by accident and I'm trying to get him back

 

[Jesusfreakette]

I will try to add the voided villagers when I get home! I've been on the go the past 2 days, in and out with doctors and work, so I'm sorry I haven't gotten to that!

[Venn]

From now on, Tumblr Updates will be given in this color (or roughly around it)
Just posting that I haven't been able to do anything because school is nearing it's end and I'll have to be getting ready for the big week. -Yuck, I know-

OH and a surprise! I guess I have a few ideas for Tumblr contests as well or something soon as well.
-Venice

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Okay! So I thiiiiiiink I've updated the villager list? I'm crazy tired right now, but I tried to read thoroughly and get everyone!

And, we're pushing back the canon contest deadline because it's a crazy May week, and we understand that it's harder to be involved! (I so get it, I have weddings, surgery!, work work work, social funtimes, moving into a new house, lots of crazy sauce!) So happy May day everyone, get some rest, take care of yourself, and enjoy the Void! We'll keep having fun, even at a slower pace

[[My old favorite villager, Bree, was voided once. I miss her QnQ]]

I love your town name so much. It is an incredibly fun word to say!

 

[Venn]

Tumblr Contests!
I told you there were going to be contests! The Tumblr page is just about done and there are a few things missing!

What is needed:
A Banner
A Side Bar Image
An Avatar

Rules/Info:

All TBT Rules and Rules of This Thread is Also Applied

The Banner:
I understand there is already a banner used, but I have another idea for that banner. For this banner, I am seeking a text design or something. If you need an example, click here. You will be brought to my cycling page and you will see a text that says "Greenbow Cycling" that is what I am looking for. I guess you could also call this a header.

• Please do not go big, but I am not asking for a specific size. The same size as the example or a similar size would be best fit.
• If you are planning to give it a black text, or something black, give it an outline, preferably white. The black will blend into the background. (If transparent background)
• Include Art/Designs in it as well, only if you would like. Perhaps something similar with the banner. (Silhouettes)

Side Bar Image:

• This will be placed under the box on the left.
• The image should be within 250 pixels wide by 280 pixels in height.
• You can do whatever you would like for this area.
• As mentioned before, if a transparent background is being used, outline dark colors such as black with a white outline or something that can separate the image and the background.
• It would be best if the piece followed the theme, which is the void.

Avatar:

• The Avatar should not exceed 300x300 in pixels and should be a perfect square, meaning height and width are the exact same size/length.
• There is an automatic white background for the avatar. When creating the avatar, I prefer not to have a white background, do something with it!
• Once again, follow the theme of the blog/project, The Void!
  
  
  Prizes:
  I am planning on creating a credit page, which will give you credit for your piece. If you a tumblr blog, the link will be provided as well.
  For each category, 1 Million Bells is up for grab for 1st Place.
  That is 3 Million Bells!
  If we get a good amount of entries and/or if the entries are just hard to choose, 2nd and 3rd places will also be included. It is most likely 2nd and 3rd place will get 500k in bells.
  
  Deadline:
  I am giving the deadline to be on May 21st 10:00 AM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
  
  If you have any questions, please ask!
  I can't wait to see all the entries coming in my way!

Where did everyone go?
Did they all go into the void :O

 

[Esper]

are people still writing stories for the void? because here are two more chapters ive written for my void story

Spoiler

Chapter Two: Welcome to The Void
There was no train station. It was just a ton of gravel. Everything about this town felt wrong to Marcie. She felt a little nervous.
“W…wait!!” she screamed to the conductor. “Stop the train! Don’t leave us here!”
It was too late. The train was already leaving, and it wasn’t stopping. Marcie looked desperately as it went across the train tracks.
There was hardly any color here. Weeds were everywhere. The whole place gave a depressing atmosphere, an overwhelming feeling of sadness. It was dark and gray, as if the weather was almost the kind when you knew it was going to rain very soon. Rocky mountains where lying here and there. There was what looked like a dump that was blocked off, filled with old items that were covered in cobwebs, almost as if they hadn’t been touched in ages. It just felt so empty. What kind of town was this?
“It’s so cold…” whimpered her baby. Marcie opened up the box and handed her little joey a blanket to wrap herself in. “There, there,” she whispered, “Want to hold onto one of your toys?”
“Yes, please…” murmured the little kangaroo. Marcie searched her box and gave her a stuffed animal. A gray kitten. Her joey held tight to the kitten, as if she didn’t her stuffed animal would disappear.
“Let’s search the town for some other animals. We can’t possibly be alone here.” Marcie held her baby’s hand and wandered around The Void.
The two wandered around for a little bit. The Void was rather dark. Marcie squinted her eyes to try to make out what she was looking at. All she could see was tons of mountains, and weeds.
Suddenly, the two of them heard footsteps.
Nervously, Marcie looked around. “W-Who’s there?”
“Who are you…?” A timid looking koala emerged from the darkness, looking around. The koala didn’t see Marcie.
There are…other animals here? Marcie thought. Anxious, she decided to speak and approach the stranger. “Excuse me! I just arrived here, do you know when the next train is coming?”
“Oh!” exclaimed the koala. She turned around and looked at Marcie. The look of shock on her face quickly turned into sadness. “So…you two are new here…welcome to The Void…”
“Uhmm…err, my name is Marcie. My joey and I are just trying to find the town where our mayor was taking a vacation. Please, can you tell us when the next train will arrive?”
“Trains don’t stop here for villagers to go on them…” murmured the koala. “They stop only for more villagers like you guys to go in The Void…”
“Forever?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to scare you two, but…The Void is a place where many other villagers have gone. Some were forced to go here, others made the mistake of going here. Either way, we’re stuck here. And there’s not really a clear way of how to get out…”
“Mama, is she telling the truth?” Marcie’s little joey looked a little scared.
“I’m not sure…” whispered Marcie.
“Oh no…I’m so sorry for rambling on like that. I was never like this before I went into The Void. My name is Sydney. I’ve been in The Void for a while now. Come with me, I will take you to my friends.” Sydney reached out a paw. Marcie hesitated, but took it and ran with the koala.

then theres chapter 3

Spoiler

Chapter Three: Friends
Sydney and Marcie walked south. Sydney was carefully inspecting the flowers on the ground as she walked. “See these dead flowers? I remember where I told my friends to meet up at by following these specific dead flowers. If we go down the path with the 3 dead roses, the 5 dead lilies, and the 12 dead pansies, we should be at our meet up spot in no time. Well, we actually call our ‘meet up spot’ The Base. So that’s where The Base is,” explained Sydney.
“I see,” said Marcie.
After a few minutes of walking, Sydney and Marcie arrived at The Base. Marcie put down her box.
“Sydney!” exclaimed an elephant at The Base. “Who’s that with you?”
“Opal, this is Marcie. She just arrived. Marcie, this is my friend Opal. She’s known me for quite a while. I’m sure you two will be able to get along!” said Sydney.
“Hello!” greeted Marcie.
“Oh, greetings! And, umm…welcome to The Void…I guess…” said Opal.
“Where is Hazel?” asked Sydney.
“Hazel left to find some food. A smart animal like her shouldn’t really have too much trouble,” responded Opal.
“Food?” said Marcie.
“Yes, sometimes we find fruit. We find rotten fruit amongst the dumps, and fruit on the ground randomly. The fruit is almost always rotten, but it’s better then nothing,” sighed Sydney.
“Mama got oranges!” exclaimed the little joey.
“That’s right; I brought some oranges from home as a little snack.”
“Oranges?!” exclaimed Opal, shocked. “You mean…ACTUAL…oranges?! They’re not rotten or anything?!”
“No, they’re not, look.” Marcie opened up the box and revealed a little basket of nine oranges.
“Amazing!” said Sydney. “Can we share?”
“Of course!”
“Yay! Thank you so much, Marcie!” Sydney then looked at Opal. “Okay, so if Hazel went looking for food, what about Rodeo?”
“Rodeo went looking for food, too. Guess he was really hungry. Not too shocking, since he’s a big bull,” muttered Opal.
“When will your other friends come back?” asked Marcie.
“Soon, I hope.” Sydney grabbed an orange and bit into it.
After what felt like forever, two animals approached The Base. A bull, who was holding a few rotten cherries and pears, and a squirrel, who was holding a rotten perfect peach.
“Rodeo! Hazel!” cried Sydney. She ran over and gave the two animals a hug. “Where were you guys? I was so worried; you two left for such a long time!”
The squirrel shook her tail a little. “I was looking amongst all these weeds for fruit. And all I found was one rotten perfect peach. So we searched for a little longer and Rodeo found a lotta rotten fruit! Man, I can’t believe how lucky he was to find so much fruit…”
“Well, Hazel,” said the bull, “It isn’t too difficult if you just search one of the dumps! Sometimes you might find some fruit!”
“Yeah, I guess that’s true.” Hazel handed Sydney the perfect peach, and then she noticed Marcie. “Uh, who’s that?”
“Hazel, this is Marcie. She just recently arrived at The Void. Marcie, this is Hazel and Rodeo. You probably know by now these guys are my friends, too!” said Sydney.
“Nice to meet you!” said Marcie. She smiled at Hazel and Rodeo.
“Nice to meet you, too!” exclaimed Rodeo.
“Yeah, nice to meet ya!” said Hazel.
“Marcie brought some oranges with her, so how about we all just try to sit back a little and eat some food?” said Sydney.
“Sure!” Hazel looked in the box and grabbed an orange.
“Oranges? You mean non-rotten oranges? Yeah! I can’t wait!” Rodeo grabbed one, too.
Soon enough everyone had one and started to eat. For once, things were looking good in The Void. But Marcie still knew that although right now she was having a good time, The Void was a place that she had to escape…somehow…

what do you guys think? c:

 

[toxapex]

I think that we should have a void theme song. I vote KK dirge

I'd like K.K. Ballad more... It's pretty melancholy, and it sounds like I feel when a villager leaves . I even have it playing in my room of villager pics...
