I was on the pixel art team for Zybourne Clock, except whoever ran the off-site forum where everything was managed thought it was a good idea to section off the different teams (concept art, writing, pixel art, etc) into their own subforums and give them no access to the other teams' posts. So the only direction me and OMG ITZ JAMES ever got for pixel art was "just make some monsters and stuff", but we had no idea what the setting of the game was or what kind of monsters there should be and I never made anything for it.

The ironic part is "just make some monsters and stuff" is what I'm known for as an artist these days :tipshat:

That's my Zybourne Clock story

Also it's worth noting that current day BYOB is not the BYOB that did Zybourne Clock. BYOB was shut down for a few years shortly after ZC and when it was brought back it had a completely different group of posters and vibe. New BYOB is better than old BYOB as a forum but doesn't have the great failures of oldBYOB like Zybourne Clock, the Chillaxe, RZNV, etc


speaking of RZNV here it is

That might have been it, I just remember trying to view the other forums to pick up some info about what I was supposed to draw and I couldn't view them.

What's funny is that the actual failure of Zybourne Clock wasn't much different from most other goon projects that failed, and it probably would have been an (ironic) hit if it came out. If you ever want to Kickstarter the reboot or whatever I'll do art :hellyeah: it could be a fun thing to revisit and make an actual tongue in cheek game out of.

But also I know for sure I don't have the attention span to make an entire game by myself lmao I just want to do art and maybe some dialogue

If you pitch in $500 to the development of the Zybourne Clock reboot I will draw you an electrozeppelin and you can fly that zeppelin when the game comes out
