Bearly Gets Up to Code
Start: 5/23/2024
That's right Bearly was going to have a game, this game was worked on a lot over a long course of time, my art style changed a good bit as i was coming up with stuff for this game. if you couldn't tell the 'big bad' was reused for sockums saves the world concepts.
You would be joined by patches in this game, and he would be a sidekick to accompany you on your journey, and in my opinion is a pretty nice design. Bearly's ref sheet kinda holds up now, but i'd still change things.
I only animated like 3 things for this before i stopped, i think i opened gamemaker to import stuff but i didnt get much past that. that walk animation tho... mwah!
I was doing some of the steam banner and pillar art or whatever, idk why i started with this, why would you not wait until development is done and you are at your best to do art like this.
those classic bosses wouldve been back, and father raiser, a character i like a bunch would have shown up too.
GUMMONEY AND JEEVES ARE BACK AGAIN!!! YOU CANT KILL US WE'LL NEVER DIE
Patches stuff?
Tut was originally going to have a foil in his tutorials, that being jotpost, who would contrast tut by being insane and giving bad advice, but he was ultimately shelved to make tutorials more straightforward
World setup for the game, i was pretty set on these worlds and bosses if you couldn't tell, i use this setup as the idea of my "dream game" more or less, these 6 losers and their 6 loser worlds are the pinnacle of my creativity.
tried to get better at backgrounds here, happy to report i have improved since i made these, because WOWZA are these really mid and or sucky. (the rendering on that water is nice though...)
Art for a discord that... say it with me! never came to fruition for one reason or another.
Character art. last one shows a swap AU of Bearly and patches. and there's some prehistoric inverted will here if you squint
Social media art, i dont know why i always start projects with this garbage instead of actually working.
I like this character. it is one of those where its based on a character i made forever ago which itself was based on something from my real life so obscure that it is completely detached and makes no sense to have been referencing it at all. this guy is based on a character i made that was based on a eraser cap that was decorated to look like the evil purple minions from despicable me 2. times were weird.
Animations i made not of Bearly! could you tell this was around when i decided what my sona was going to be?
Character renders of the big guys of this universe or something. these are all keepers in my opinion (besides maybe jotpost)
One of Sockums' first appearances. i don't recall if he was in this batch or with the marbled mysteries (2) batch or not, it doesn't really matter. i made him to just be a basic NPC either way. but something about him i liked a lot. because i know no one is going to read this i am going to explain the really embarrassing creation of sockums. i was recommended a Baldi's Basics Friday Night Funkin' song that had The Boyfriend be a little hand to fit into the weird world of Baldi, and i loved the character and its voice, so much so i instantly wanted to make my own hand character, and the rest is history.
Covers for songs on an OST that was never made.
The big bad of Bearly Gets Up to Code, I wont elaborate on him since this guy could always be the villain of sockums saves the world if that ever happens.
Stickers for a discord server that would never release.
this was the time of my life i experienced the most change in what i thought would make a compelling story and compelling characters. this is good for me.
The end
