Out of any of the three chao, which one does Tetra like to inhabit from least favorite to most favorite?
Maya would be her favorite, purely due to the fact that her body is naturally stretchy and she'd able to blow her up bigger than anyone. Angi is a close second though for her reactions. She tends to leave Max be, not a fan of all his weird tech
Because your OCs are chaos, how do they interact with the other chaos?
They kinda just treat them like children, same as everyone else. They're much older than any chao you'd see in the chao garden. Once Max actually substituted as a teacher in chao kindergarden, and Maya decided to babysit during his class.
What’s a series that you have seen that got worse with each passing season up until the finale?
I wouldn't say Steven Universe is a bad show, but it's one that definitely feels like it peaked at the end of Season 1. The later seasons are still good, but the show had built up so much anticipation for so many things that the pay off for most of them fell flat by the end.
Do you think social media has gotten more negative?
Yeah. Though I think it's kinda just natural for that to happen over time. When you have tens of thousands voices speaking somewhere, the negative ones are what people instinctively want to echo until they come out on top. It's all too easy to see something that makes you so angry that you share it and spread that anger
how did you program the powerups for the maya game? I want to make something like it, and would like advice
Hmm...
this one is a bit complicated to answer, but I'll give it my best shot. Internally, I have an enum (basically a fancy int) tracking Maya's power state, and another tracking her size. For the flight suit it's pretty simple, there's code that gives her the ability to glide only when she has the flight powerup. But for fat and inflation, they're a bit more complicated: Those forms have completely unique physics just for them, that's entirely different from her physics while thin. So a lot of the code is just set up to run differently depending on that, and there's all sorts of extra bits to it specialized for those forms (like her unique walk while inflated, or gaining momentum from bouncing while fat, etc.
Would Angi suplex someone for using a petty insult on her, like "fatty"?
Absolutely. She'd beat or humiliate anyone who insults her, but for calling her fat specifically she might just send you to the hospital
How’s progress going for the Maya game?
Uh...
Hard to say, I've been really busy with classes lately and having had much time to work on it. But I miiight have something to announce soon. Maybe. We'll see
What’s your current thoughts of Ubisoft’s position as of now?
I don't fully understand what's going on with them if I'm honest, or what makes their recent games so much more disappointing than all the other disappointing games they've put out. But I do feel bad for the developers who are probably getting laid off soon, hope they can find somewhere better to work.
What’s the most complicated plot in a series you at the very least know about?
Hmm
I guess that'd be Marvel, assuming that counts lol. Kinda feels like a copout answer, but it do be complicated. I fell off after endgame like most people, but I've seen enough to I know it's kind of a mess now.
What would Maya, Max, and Angi do if they had the Tri Rod?
Haven't played Echoes yet so I dunno too much about how it works.
But my first thought was that Maya would try and make food echoes and see how they taste.
Angi would try scamming people with fake money lol
With pretty much most folks talking/worrying about AI. What are your thoughts for it?
I think generative AI pretty awful to use in most circumstances, and it's not good that businesses are trying to use it to replace real artists and writers. That said though, I also think it's a bubble that will inevitably pop just like most other tech fads. LLMs as a model seem to be reaching a point where it'll require exponentially more time and data for the smallest of gains, and I think it'll only get harder and harder to profit off of them as time goes on. So I'm not particularly afraid of them taking over either.
Has Maya ever gone anywhere with Max by using herself as a hot air balloon?
She has! Though, she insisted that Max ride somewhere other than the basket...
Has Angi ever been inflated like a balloon? Also I hope you're doing well!
She has, though you'd never hear it from her, lol.
and I'm doing alright. Kinda getting my butt kicked by classes, but I've only got one more month to go
What instruments can your OCs play? My OC's good with flutes, recorders and ocarinas.
Maya can play all sorts of wind instruments like the flute and trumpet (and she's a pretty good singer as well). Angi is a beast on drums, and Max... well, he doesn't really know music, but he at least has the first 4 notes of Megalovania memorized.
Are you excited for any upcoming games this year?
Hmm... I guess Mario and Luigi Brothership looks pretty cool?
Beyond that I'm not sure tbh. Monster hunter Wilds maybe, but that looks like World 2 and I didn't like MHW lol
