Baalad of the Bansheep [Cassette Beasts Fanart]
"I vividly remember the first time I listened to that tape. It was all thrust at me during an emergency situation when a wild monster attacked. Her bizarre instruction to start listening if I wanted to stand a chance. The song had no words. In fact, it wasn't even sung by a human. Yet as I listened, I began to deeply understand the feelings the singer was working through. The spirit of a sheep coming to terms with it's own passing. It's desperate search for companionship. This music it's way to get all the sadness out of it's system and make itself feel better again. It spoke to me on such a deep level. In that moment, I felt like I was drawn into who that sheep truly was. Like I was experiencing what it was like to be them during the time of that recording. Of course, now I know that the transformative properties of this music aren't merely metaphorical."
Yesterday, I continued my everlasting quest to find the best Creature Collector game by trying out "Cassette Beasts" for the first time... and heck, did I fall in love with it. In this bizarre game you fight by listening to cassette recordings of the various monsters you encounter in the wild, which physically transform your characters into said monsters. It is such a ludicrous concept, I totally adore it!
The game itself is much more energetic and upbeat than the sad little Bansheep here would imply. It's filled to the brim with 90s nostalgia and self-aware humour. But I just love the little emo sheep so much, it had to be the first one I drew. There might be more fanart of this game coming in soon, because I am utterly hooked already.

A game where you get to listen to music and be transformed into cute little critters? I might actually have to check this one out! There are so many interesting and creative games out there, and this one really does sound like fun!
The sheepy is just adorable, too, if apparently less than enthusiastic about their current situation. And really, being transformed into a sheep just 'cause you listened to a cassette tape you found would be pretty weird. (But woo cassette tapes! I don't even remember the last time I used one of those!)

I would highly recommend it. I only played a few hours of it, but I am really hooked on it already. Unfortunately the monsters don't really have their own unique songs that actually play in the game, the cassette tapes are just the items that let you transform into different combat forms. But I guess with more than a hundred critters to encounter writing a unique song for each one would've been a lot to ask for. Nevertheless, the music that is in the game is still really good!
I only vaguely remember using cassette tapes as a child still. We used to have a lot of audiobooks on them, including Lord of the Rings, which was really cool! Those unfortunately never gave me transformation powers, but they did take your mind on an enchanting journey. Which kind of is the next best thing, I would say.

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, writing that many unique songs would probably be a bit much, but it still sounds like a really cool concept!
And gosh, I listened to music on cassette all through my childhood, and my teenage years. I bought my first CD in 1996, if I remember correctly, when I was 17. I still have boxes of old cassette tapes in my house, too, though, sadly, nothing to listen to them with. I keep meaning to hit up eBay or something to see if can't find an old player. A genuine old boombox would be awesome, though I dread to think how much one in good condition might cost!
And while I never had LOTR on cassette, we did manage to record the radio broadcast of Hitchhiker's Guide back in the day, when one of the local stations re-broadcast it. I listened to that thing over and over and over again, too!

Cassettes really had something special to them. Just the fact that you could potentially overwrite each individual part of it if you wanted to made each and every one so unique. You never knew if what it said on the label was still the thing you'd find on them. Just by their very nature they kind of forced you to learn just a little bit about audio technology, which I feel like is lacking from modern media streaming. Not that I'd want to miss out on all the conveniences that brings with it anymore, but analogue media was just kinda cool!
Oh I can only imagine that getting tons of replays! It was so cool how you would g out to hunt for your own recordings of the things you loved like that. Even growing up on CDs myself for the most part, that's still something I remember quite fondly.

Rather have to thank of you for reminding me of this game. I discovered the creators of it upon twitter pages ages ago when the progress was nearly at its starting phrase. Been able to enjoy playthroughs a bit of it so far ^>^ (Sadly do not have the systems myself) but lovely render of course love your style regardless how you take it. And it just works out so well in your art I adore it
