The Cascade Cabaret: EnCCore
(Showtime and Ghaul Edition)

EnCCore was season 2 of Cascade Cabaret, and the first OCT I've ever entered into! (Also I ended up placing Third Place in the end!! :D)

EnCCore was a non-elimination style OCT meaning that the only way I would get dropped out of it would have been if I didn't somehow include the matched up OC(s) I was assigned that round... or if I didn't submit something by the end of the round. This gave me a lot more room to feel like I could experiment and I didn't really even feel the need to compete for judge points. My entire goal was just to see if I could make something of a complete story and/or make it to the end of it. It was a whole year adventure... and I say I succeeded, somewhat.

Entered Characters

Showtime

Showtime

A clown who's always had a feeling there was something missing from his life at the the Traveler's End Circus. He has the attitude (and powers) of a firework and the ability to semi-accurately see the most likely future to occur (which he often doesn't listen to).

Original Reference


Ghaul

A clown who's known for his ability to eat almost anything! He's often considered "second-in-charge" by the Ringmaster of the circus and for good reason! He's a pretty responsible guy who cares quite a lot for his found circus family. He gets pretty fustrated and stressed when things threaten it.

Ghaul

Round Submissions

Here's all of my rounds I did for EnCCore. Most are in states that are incomplete/unfinished and there's plenty of things I would like to change/fix/finish... but I am proud of how they did turn out as my first time really sitting down and making something.



⚠ Content Warning ⚠

This comic/game/thing contains a lot of strong language all throughout, blood (mostly a goopy yellow, but some normal blood too) and body horror (especially round 4 in regards to parasitic creatures).

Audition

A clown decides he's bored of his odd circus life and searches for something much more greater than him. He ends up getting exactly his wish, while dragging someone unwilling with him. Video

Round 1
"Welcome to Cascade Cabaret"

Showtime and Ghaul explore their new surroundings with another equally curious pair, a sweet cyclops named Adelaide and her demon bodyguard Ven. (Note: This one is broken and doesn't have a proper ending. Save often.

Also it's over once you get the "broken music box")

"Clown Sounds" EnCCore Soundtrack

I made a LOT of music for EnCCore. It's actually kinda nuts looking back. I had a lot of fun even though I had no idea what I was doing (and you could probably tell) but... idk. Listening to this stuff again while making this site kinda warms my silly little heart because I know how much love and effort I put into making these things and I can't help but smile. I hope you like it too!
