Getting things ready for the next few updates has been frustratingly slow but people might be entertained to know the two mystery crafting items most closely resemble two items from this list, as I wanted something a little difficult to work with.

In other news, I have been having some fun temporarily tinkering with character designs but I'm curious who people might feel should be the dungeon's reisdent boob monster. And (perhaps more relevantly to Ass Day) who deserves to be the thickest?

Alkaline. She hit a growth spurt during slime puberty and now she's a Slime Queen with large boobs.

Most definitely Deem. We love messing with her like this.

Well, I'm glad to have discovered Bloom, will be checking out Dungeoneer soon. I do wanna see how far Alice can go.

Question, once she reached 100 mass she was like one and half times a person's size, right? She's currently spread out but I wonder how tall would her current body be if it wasn't spread out

Getting Bloom M<3 updated reminded me I was intending to post a little behind the scenes info on doing Garden Master Alice with tippler for April Fools.

I haven't collaborated like this before, but usually I'd write the outline for the images needed such as "Alice has a look of intense concentration" and provide some references and doodles as needed.

I should add it can be great trying to do a layout doodle for something like a commission, because it lets you work out what details do and don't work well within a panel of the size you're getting.

On a similar note, Alice already had a design but this was tippler's first drawing to confirm on the tweaks and looks she'd have for the quest thread.

The new characters, of course did need to get designed.

For these I provided an initial description and some reference images, tippler did a concept panel and in some cases they then got a little more reworking.

Asteroid Knight
A cnidarian, an alien from Sarcopholacooda's quests.
A sort of jellyfish in a mechanical suit. Has a hulking suit that's mix of a knight's armour and an astronaut's suit.
Has a big bubble helmet, and the suit itself should be a bit bulkier than the suits in the cnidarian reference: it should look padded wherever it isn't armoured. Please do keep the tiny feet though.
His weapon is a mix of a jackhammer and a lance - it's a repurposed asteroid mining tool.

Grav Gunner
A truclean, an alien from Sportsdrink's Big Iron quest. As you can see, fairly close to human looking, three eyes, pointy ears, three fingered hands.

Short and curvy. She has a suspicious resemblance to some other quest characters of mine for no real reason.

She wears one of those trendy skintight space suits and her main weapon's a pair of machine-gun-like weapons that they can also act as a grapple beam (think Metroid or the hookshot in zelda). They have some sort of charge up gravity bomb shot too. Don't take the suit as too close a reference, I just pulled something out of my ref folder that was a nice match for the guns.

Psi Tuner
A neumono, from Lagotrope's quests.

Has psychic powers, uses them to broadcast empathy for buffs/debuffs. Basically a space bard. Big ears. Confident, make him hot. Carries a big microphone with a crystal mic and a music speaker in the other hand. The speaker can be used as a club in a punch so make it look sturdy.

Outfit is basically some light sci-fi looking armour and pantaloons. If you have an idea for a nice hat please add one.


(Included was a reference of Lackey's circle and stripe markings from Cirr's Salikai quest)

Blaster Phoenix
A ketza, a sort of bird from Slinko's quests. Very small, about 2-3 feet tall.

Haughty, pretty bird. Make sure she has nice eyelashes.

Ketzas have fire magic but for extra blasting power this one rides a mech (making her about Asteroid Knight’s size overall). A ball body with a big turbine looking thing that it uses to shoot beams with the pilot on top. The kirby invader mechs are a good idea of the general shape.

The robot’s arms are small and the legs spindly, should make people think of a baby chicken.


(A picture of a secretary bird's eyelashes was included)

That concludes the behind the scenes look at Garden Master Alice. Hope you enjoyed!

I might as well air my frustrations.

I've gotten really tired of the seemingly-permanent... uh, size... play. I really liked the design of the characters, especially Reisarf, and it feels like suddenly everyone is gravitating to a similar design. Deem is mutable, but I don't know *how* much, and likewise, Reisarf just... changed overnight without a great deal of our input. I get that a lot of people like the thicc designs, and that was fun on Deem (who, again, we have a lot of control over? Maybe?) but I'm a little, okay, a lot worried that everyone will just balloon into a similar look and we won't ever really get to change them back. I know only two (three?) have changed this way, but I worry if I don't say anything, it'll just keep happening, and get more permanent, or no one will care to change them back, or there'll be mechanical reasons not to (like with Reisarf now) and... I like the quest, I do, but this is getting out of hand for me.

I recognize that the others probably don't feel the same way and I'll probably get called some flavor of bigot or something, but I just really wished the nice designs were kept and more characters were introduced, or even more "hey do you want this" was a question asked with more weight (no pun intended) when big character changes would occur.

Hey there! A bit late to the party, but I had some thoughts on theme I wanted to share. Arhra's certainly done a fine job cultivating an environment that entices the mind (and I have bitten very hard into, apologies in advance for the long post). I reread the entirety of the Quest (which at this point has become a decade spanning epic, really incredible stuff) and saw that Deem had this reoccuring frustration over theming. She desires something that will 'stir the heart'. Naturally, this has been something of an issue considering her start from nothing and slow accumulation of resources. That's led to a chaotic variety of influences and desires, disrupting attempts at continuity and theming. But what's incredible is that there is something that connects almost all of the dungeons denizens together, an emergent theme that touches every soul save for Moriko and Chakarchelou (though I have some small ideas there).

I'd been thinking of how to make a consistent theme work and the troublemakers had always been Reisarf and Stargazer. Their unique elements contrasted with every scenario I conjured, demanding that they adapt or that the rest of the cast yield to their influence. But with this chapter's newest reveal, it is they who have adapted to the element that unites the hearts of the rest. The fruiting bodies created by the ambitious duo mark not just an adaptation to the newest aspects of the dungeon. They yield an independent interest. Reisarf is his usual passive self, but the insight into Stargazer is extremely important. 'Stargazer wanted to see a miracle.' Ambition! And while the souls of the rest of the case may differ in slight ways, this ambition is a shared one.

Merud with his constant push to not only further his knowledge of golems, but to cast aside the taboos of his teacher and society! Alkaline's hunger for independence and experimentation! Why, the very thing that lured Hin to your side was a mere whisper of ancient secrets! And at the heart of this ambition is Deem herself, an entity who, in spite of her insistence at the importance of a consistent theme, has lept at every opportunity to create, prototype and innovate. Deem even has a reputation for it by now!

That is the unifying factor of this dungeon! More than a mere witch's lair or a warlock's coven, you approach a creation not unlike the legendary Scholomance of Transylvania! A place of learning, sure, but also experimentation into that which is forbidden by the conservative and close minded of the realm. And at the head of it all, exerting her influence over the chaos is the master of the place, none of other than the wise and ancient Deem. Her role would be the same as it is now, one of mentorship and guidance, shepherding youthful ambition and creating order from their chaos. Imagine a wing dedicated to each art of alchemy, golemancy, arcane horticulture and wonderous crafting? Each with their own department heads, holding parts of a key that come together to open a door leading to the Dark Headmaster.

And, uh, I should stop because this is pretty wordy. Brevity is the soul of wit and sadly I am a fool. But there's certainly a lot more to be said on the matter! A place of learning that dares and dares, standing at the forefront of magical innovation, drawing in the most ambitious young souls of the generation! A Temple of Mad Magicks! Perhaps that stirs that heart?

Alice looks like she's smiling in this one and it's weird seeing her smile. Not sure she's ever really done that in quest.
