What you like to see in the next Tale From The Constant?


Recommended Posts

I would like to see The Survivors make some movie, they have a camera, as comfirm by the Survivor Guide - Firewood, and they have a music player, so they could record a fun movie for movie night, as a thing to pass the night that isn't listening to Walter story or sleeping.

Something about Maxwell/William's childhood and homelife.  Along with what Maxwell's brother thought when he learned of his mysterious disappearance/"Death" in San Fransisco.

(Another Wagstaff or Wanda short would be pretty good too)

I get wanting a bunnyman story, but considering 2/4 tales of the constant we've had so far have had generic races as a focus I REALLY don't want a 3rd already. Maybe next year once we've had more survivor focused shorts.

That said, don't make it primarily be set in the past. Hide & Seek was great because of how it dealt with Winona/Wendy/Charlie/Abigail caring for each other, and to set it in the past would be disappointing. Flashbacks can be fine though.

Finally, more Wilson-less shorts. He gets more than enough screentime in the main shorts.

In order, the character combos I want are:

  1. Maxwell & Wendy (Though considering Wendy just got one, this can wait a while), the two related survivors. Ideally, highlight Maxwell's guilt (or lack thereof) of trapping the survivors in the constant, and have one of them properly acknowledge their relation.
  2. Wagstaff & WX-78, the evil robot and his creator. Have WX actively sabotage Wagstaff,  or have Wagstaff try to take advantage of WX. The most we've gotten about this is them staring at each other in Host of Horrors.
  3. Willow & Wickerbottom - Follow up on Willow's role in trapping the survivors & Burning the library, and the contrast between the most reckless survivor Willow against the most level-headed (Wickerbottom).

Id love to see wormwood reaching lunar island and connecting with all the stuff there. Seeing some kind interaction between worm and Alter in general would be really neat i think. 

Its unfortunate that hes been excluded from all iirc the main lunar storyline update animations.. 

wickerbottom exploring the ancient archives and developing her lunar grimoire would also be interesting i think. 

Same goes for showing how wicker helped woodie control his curse through the totems. 

i would love some more animations with wx in them, where they interact with things more than just reacting to some things happening around them. something more silly or something more serious, more wx is always good

or just generally more interaction between the monster (and non-human) gang, especially the poop-hands man himself, wormwood. he's a fun guy

Just general stuff on what they are actually DOING all YEARS long and simply interactions between survivors that go beyond "exploring something, fighting something, being attacked by something, being scared by something, building something, eating something".

And it would be fun if there were PVP related bits in between xD (the Wilson and Maxwell have a playful slap-fight gif counts as this :D )

I would even "allow" a narrator for this. But if I could chose I would make it similar to the tree-chopping tutorial with Wilson using silent film text-planels in between.

Or a combination of animated book-pages turning with illustrations, and maybe a small Wickerbottom-written text and after this a transition from the static, then animated, book illustration to the scene in the constant. (e.g. for the hounds a book page with a small readable annotation by Wickerbottom, then the hound illustration starts running blending over to a scene in the constant where a pack of hounds forms and hunts after one of the survivors)

I want the survivors to use their Skill, cast some spell Willow and Wickerbottom, use your Alchemy Wilson, transform into a Werebeast Woodie, grow some armor Wormwood, make some food Warly, bring some Merm Wurt, and shoot the slingshot Walter.

Honestly, yeah it is kind of weird how few survivors actually utilize their perks in shorts.

Like, it's really only Wendy who has Abigail show up on a regular basis right?

on the one hand you 100% sold me(love me some world building) but on the other hand the eyeplant section would almost certainly be too explicit for youtube

They could probably do a joke were right as they’re about to get into it it cuts out for a bit

I am so confused. Wilson goring his hand for one(1!) drop of blood during the forbidden knowledge video is ok for youtube, a documentary on an eyeplant would not be ok?

(I fear I probably just don't see what the "weird" thing is about eyeplants since to me they are just similar to normal carnivorous plants but in a cartoonly exeggerated form)

it is ok, don't worry about it

History for Skins. After the Forge and Gorge, skins now just cosmetics. I want to see how appeared skins the Guest of Honor and the Roseate, how survivors get through the unnatural portal and became Swashbuckler, how to tell scary stories in Halloween Night costumes, what worlds live Snowfallen and Verdant, see war between Triumphant and Moonbound.
