How things goin'?

Thank you. haven't updated it in a while. Already have a few changes in original file, but there are a few more things i needed to add.

Using/Testing this in multiplayer and it seems as if her handkerchief cannot heal friends (it has give instead of use); but the sanity aura does work for other players (I think, more testing needed).

That's a really thought-out details for Mary. Thank you for this, and yea, before the last comment, she kinda seem to OP with only taking fire dmg since she got 99% to everything else.

Yeah, I know, this sounds overpowered, but"

1. Not as overpowered as some official characters within the game like Wortox, WX-78, Wickerbottom, or even Wanda to an extent

and

2. Her weakness to fire and heat will make Summer and fighting the Dragonfly as well as Crab King and Klaus complete and total nightmares while playing as Mary, also, her naturally low stats and how losing the Yellow Rose just kinda dang near locks you at 0 sanity until you can craft another one I feel would balance her out a bit.

Mary would also gain sanity around the Grainy Transmission, for the same reason as mentioned for Maxwell, and around the Shadow Queen as well

Speaking of Charlie, while Mary wouldn't have night vision, she would be completely immune to the darkness.

CONTINUED IN NEXT AND FINAL COMMENT

Mary also will never aggro Bunnymen by holding meat aside from a Hambat, due to them being unable to tell.

Mary also gains a passive sanity increase while holding and item that is either specifically blue or has blue in the name, examples include:
Blue Gems
Blue Caps
Blue Fungal Turf
Thermal Measurer (When extremely cold)
Anything made with a Blue Gem (aside from crayons and purple gems and salt boxes)
Anything else blue

And this would act like how Wurt gains sanity while holding a living fish

Also of note, Mary would, either, not drop a soul like WX-78 or would despite not being a regularly living being, like Wormwood, or, she could drop two, if we want to interpret this as taking place after the Together Forever ending.

CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

Also, having Abigail's Flower gives passive sanity gain and also halves the sanity drain of not having the Yellow Rose.

Also the Crayon's could be used by Webber, Wurt, and (to a lesser extent) Wendy, and act like Wickerbottom's books do for Wurt, giving sanity but doing nothing otherwise

Speaking of Wickerbottom's books, Mary could read them like Wurt and also gain sanity, but her trying to read the Codex Umbra would give -50 sanity.

CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

Other Extra Stuff that could be hard to do.

Make Mary change as her sanity gets lower, to the point that she is considered as a monster at low sanity.

Make Mary at minimum sanity able to right click a held Palette Knife to scream and crack the floor like she does right before her death in actual Ib, with it doing Gunpowder Damage to everthing within a 5 tile radius in every direction.

Make Mary gain a slight passive sanity gain around other characters, but more major around Wendy, Webber, and Wurt (for obvous reasons again), and also around Maxwell (due to him being in a lot of ways similar to Guertena), but a special sanity gain around Abigail

Painting: An item that gives a 300 sanity per minute aura around it for most characters but a 3000 sanity per minute aura for Mary specifically, and maybe it could be specific for each character. Crafting Recipe: Nightmare Fuel, a feather pencil, and 10 thulecite shards

Mary Painting: Essentially the previous thing, but gives 500 sanity per minute to every character, with likely bonus extra for Wendy and maybe also Wurt and Webber for obvious reasons, but only 50 sanity per minute for Mary herself for obvious reasons. Crafting Recipe, 10 Nightmare Fuel, a feather pencil, a yellow gem, a blue gem, a green gem, and 5 thulecite.

CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

Craftable Items:

Crayon: Can be used to draw one of a few things, including, a blue doll (acts as a bernie/companion combo), a sun (Acts as a stronger but more temporary version of a star caller staff dwarf star), A throwable palette knife, spear, hammer, and chainsaw (all act like blow darts but do different damages, with the hammer being the least and the palette knife being the most with the spear above the hammer but below the chainsaw), and, most rarely, a Red Eyes, aka, the giant Blue Doll, that is like giant bernie but with a thousand more health and the ability to summon smaller Blue Dolls, can also be eaten by Mary for a consistent plus 20 hp and hunger but minus 20 sanity. Crafting Recipe: Nightmare Fuel and either one of each gem or one iridescent gem and a feather pencil, 10 uses (Think of it as a less consistent Old Bell)

CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

Extra Stuff:

Mary is immune to freezing all together, i mean, as in, cold temperatures freezing, hitting her with an ice staff or being hit by deerclops will insta-freeze her

She is slow to overheat, but when she does, it does half the damage that fire does to her, aka, pretty much a one shot

She is unable to heal from basic heals, so she either needs to be healed with a crafted item or by food.

Whenever she dies she will drop a stack of ashes (Just kinda thought of this one on the spot)

Now, onto some stuff that is likely actually really hard to actually make work

CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

Starting Items:

Yellow Rose: If Mary drops it she then suddenly gets a sanity drain as if she was standing directly next to deerclops, can be crafted with 5 petals (get it?)

Palette Knife: As strong as Old Wanda's Alarming Clock is against shadow creatures, at least, in Mary's hands, plus an extra 1.33X damage multiplier (see what I mean earlier by how there would be a catch to her lower damage?) and is unbreakable, but, in the hands of anyone else, it is as weak as a fishing rod and gives a 2000 per minute sanity drain, can be crafted with flint and a stick by hand.

Mary definitely needs to be next, and, some suggestions for her:

Higher than normal starting speed, like, about the same as the Werebeaver, considering how stupidly fast she actually is, especially in the remake

Loses sanity slower than even Wendy but has a constant like 0.1 sanity per minute sanity drain, yet only takes half the sanity decrease from sanity decreasing items, like, for example, she would only lose 4 sanity from Glommer Goop, but being around companions gives her a 400 per minute sanity increase

Loses Hunger at 1/10th the speed, but her favorite foods (yes, multiple, you will see why in a second) are Powdercake and Wet Goop and gets reduced hunger from all foods

Has only as much health as Wanda has time, but has natural 99% damage resistance, but, takes 1000% more damage from fire, aka, accurate to Ib

Naturally does about as much damage as wendy, so, less than normal, if not even less, with a catch...

As for the small blue doll versions, i'm thinking it would be better off towards Mary, than Ib. that said, I'm still waiting for JustAGh0styy to finish his works as the idea of somewhat "porting" the characters in Ib was his, and I only publicize my Ib work. we'll see how it goes.

@magenta lizard, i actually based the large doll from the large doll painting (the one where gary was trapped). as for the normal form, it was supposed to be a regular bunny doll like how ib could see in the rabbit room, Problem is, i don't know anything about making custom sprite animations, so i just used the small bernie as a base. supposed to be pink as mentioned in the description above, but i went with blue to match its transformation.

If by chance someone could either guide or make a custom sprite animation for the rabbit model, i can use that, and turn it into pink to somewhat match its lore.

In a future update will the doll's forms look like this? https://ibgame.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Eyes

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

YOOO IB!
The real ones have gathered here.
This is sick! I gotta try this out

Awesome

Updating my comment: a 98% speed penalty since you basically become a snail at that point who HAS to rely on external sources. Maybe a unique animation if you want but that would probably be pain.

@aikawayumi maybe make her carry heavy objects like... 90-95% slower so that she had to rely on a beefalo or something? Just an idea since having some sort of workaround would be extremely convenient for things like Shadow Pieces if you wanted to do them as Ib, and ofc make a Ib only playthrough possible.

@Alucard. That was the original plan. After a few tests though, I kinda thought it would be too OP if Ib has a lot of sanity/hp recovery item that doesn't have cooldowns or is seemingly unlimited. Her handkerchief should work like Wanda's healing clock. in that Wanda's case though, what makes it seems balanced is that it has an incredibly long cooldown and only heals hp, plus, you need access to ruins to actually make more. But if it's just for the fun of it, maybe i'l throw in a craftable handkerchief as well as someone else's idea of making her be able to lift heavy objects as a configuration in the future.

Will you make the handkerchief craftable?

@simthedog21, I made her to be like the original game (she cant lift or move the statues and always had Garry help her.) so I didn't add anything for DST to have them be able to move around. That said, I couldn't think of anyway, other than possibly having her doll be the one to carry it when big form. as for DST gameplay, I made her good at least in handling her own, but requires some help in other things

Is there going to be a workaround to being unable to lift heavy objects sometime in the future?

waiting for Mary!

Awesome,waiting for Mary!

Awesome

WE MAKIN' IT OUTTA THE GALLERY WITH THIS ONE!
