Fungal Connections Small Backstory


This is just a small post about how this vn got made and why I write such small stories.

Most of my stories that I write are based of feelings or just moods.

I wouldn't write or draw anything if it wasn't on my mind.

Wanna be creative about doing settings nobody would give a shot and really fvn currently needs more finished one-shots.

Myself wouldn't trust to make a fvn with multiple routes, since you need to do an upkeep of interest and somewhat consistent updates.

+ Without any proofreading I would have never released anything. My language skills are that bad in german, polish and english.

So coming back to this May Wolf Entry:

My main inspiration was an old drawing I did once. Way before the jam. [Following shown here.]

And do you know what the inspiration for that one was? 
From Jhati'ti the Jasmine Dragon from Underhand + chanterelles (Many people don't like to talk about the mushroom, but it's kinda my favorite one >_>)

The story that I thought up on the beginning of the jam:
A merchant getting to use mushroom dragon powers to convince them to buy her stuff.

(Kinda like a deal with the devil, but this time it's a mommy mushroom dragon.)

So those were like my first design ideas:



But than once I asked about if dragons would be allowed for love interest. It was a hard no. Only wolves allowed :,(

So I had to redesign my mushroom lady a bit and first thought about doing a front-head: (Here are some mushroom *hair* designs)


And had to redesign the story too, sooo it was a rather hard thing to adjust. So my thinking brain got turned on and realised.

"*Wait a minute*. How about making a dumb shut-in the mc and leave the home almost dying."

"The love interest would mock her and just play games with her while she was running......."

"Oh wait she is almost dying. She couldn't really run, than let's go a different route. A more wholesome route."

"Maybe more dream-like? YEAH THAT'S THE SAUCE THERE."

The addition of Patrycia is more of a wild story that my sister tried to tell me it was true.

Alsoooo the actual thing that happend to her in the plot is:
She was the towns drug dealer and did all the mushrooms growing their to get the town high. More is up to your interpretation.

Hope this post was a bit informal. How my brain *somewhat* works, but I digress.

Thanks for reading!
