Cloudy Daze Mood Theme

[soc_puppet]

Dunno when I'll be able to submit it for consideration as an official mood theme, but in the mean time, here's a preview:









These are all screencaps from the folder where the moods live, so once they get uploaded and properly implemented, there shouldn't be any weird boxes around them anymore 😅

Anyway, if you want to get a jump on things, here's a downloadable .zip of all of the above moods, plus a super secret alternate version of Quixotic!

Oh my gosh it’s so good! Thirsty is my favourite 🤩

😂 When I was coming up with how to do Thirsty, I thought to myself, "Well, obviously it's going to have to be a cloud sucking up evaporated water to rain later. But that seems like it'd be pretty difficult to communicate visually, especially at this scale (30x30 pixels). I know, I'll just have a cloud slurping up water via giant straw!" And so Thirsty was born, hehe 😁

Omg thank you for sharing. Can I ask about your ideas/process with geeky?

Having a second look through these and I really am amazed by your creativity. This is such a feat and is going to bring so many users joy!

Absolutely! For Geeky, I'd already used up my "saving to the cloud" idea on Nerdy, so I needed something new. I decided to aim for something between "inspired by how Everything Is Square in Minecraft" and "Maybe kinda pixelated?", since I wasn't sure regular pixelated would communicate well at this scale. Though maybe if I just did a double-sized Tiny Cloud from Intimidated and Lonely...

I hope so! I personally love how the little firework turned out in Shocked and the color gradients in Artistic/Creative/Nostalgic/Rejuvenated. And the floppy disk in Nerdy, actually 😂 I was also pleasantly surprised how well the windmill and plane turned out in Intimidated and Uncomfortable!

Eee, thank you! I love hearing about your process. "Everything is Square in Minecraft" + pixelation is such a fun way to get the geeky vibe across.

The little firework is adorable <3
