Hoard of Shinies
Hoard of Shinies is a ghost by Zichqec, featuring a very animated merfolk named Mica. It uses a modified version of the freeshell Merfolk May.
The user is presumed to be a friend of Mica, and she talks about topics such as the various shiny treasures they hoard in their cave.
Features
- Dressups are randomized each time the ghost is booted. Some dressups may be omitted, but there will always be at least 1 present.
- Reduced motion option in the settings, which cuts the speed of the shell animations in half, except for talking and blinking.
- Double clicking the island kero will cause a short “bubbling” dialogue to be played.
- There is one particular boot dialogue which, when played, guarantees that the matching close dialogue will be played when the ghost is closed at the end of that session.
- She can be poked with Needle. This is treated as the user gifting her something.
- She will respond to LOBO's howling event.
- She will respond to zzzzzzzzz's overlap event.
- Custom calibration for the plugin Spectre is provided, along with responses to the plugin. Click to reveal spoiler content for Spectre.
- She has special reactions when Squid boots while she is open.
Balloon
Hoard of Shinies comes bundled with the balloon Ocean Fishies, an ocean-themed balloon.
It will also recognize Beach Day Gone Wrong, a beach-themed balloon, as a standard balloon if it is installed.
It will also recognize squidloon, a balloon themed after the ghost Squid, as a standard balloon if it is installed. While using this balloon, it is possible to change the balloon color in the ghost's settings menu.
Trivia
- The original version of the ghost is noted to have been written mostly in a day, albeit with some small code work done on a previous day.
