What some people might not know is that I do dabble in sprite art! This specific banner was made using the NES's NTSC color palette. While not as dubious as a 4-color palette, it's still very interesting dabbling with different color palettes from different systems. What some people might not know is that I used Aseprite to create this particular banner. For the rest of my banners, I used the software program FireAlpaca to draw and animate, it's pretty nifty and I've used it for years!

With that out of the way, let's see what the community has been up to!

Now we arrive at this week's user column!

Each week I will be asking members of the Brickadia community a question relevant to Brickadia at the moment, whether that be in regard to development, speculation, or even just hopes and desires surrounding the game itself.

Thank you to Tantiem for always asking the good questions!

I don't know if any of you were there for early Roblox in or around 2007 to 2008, but generally speaking, there was a point where as a result of the fact that people didn't really know how to create shirts or weapons and stuff, some less experienced, younger users resorted to placing bricks directly onto the player to try and create armor and fake weapons.

With a feature like this, creating custom tools that could have several different behaviors sends me back to those early times. Could you imagine building your own slingshots in the palm of your hand, or creating enormously giant hammers just to hold it with one hand?

Now obviously it probably won't be exactly like that, but I would be one to speculate that in the near future, if custom items were able to be created that could be held in the player's hand, it would only be a matter of time until we got brick implementations onto players. Imagine hanging from a tether from your back in a sort of brick chain link, or being able to replace the player's arm with an enormous microbrick-built mech arm.

With what Tantiem asked Sixmorphugus, though, I can completely imagine that the road to having this sort of idea implemented wouldn't be too difficult, but then again I am not a master programmer. One thing to note to is that as of recent, players have been hoping for a feature where the color of a player can be changed in a sort of a silly way:

Perhaps with this kind of suggestion making it into Brickadia, who knows, it might encourage the developers to try and create even more wild implementations for custom items and what those tools can do to the player. I, for one, absolutely welcome the idea of a custom tool that shoots a cage at people and traps them inside for me to drag around. However, it is very much so an interesting surprise that this particular concept has some future to it, but we'll just have to wait and see what kind of future that is.

And that's all for this week of the durb blurb!
