GO SUPPORT MY FAN GAME ACCOUNT ILL POST MORE THERE AND AHHHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED

I’m Making A Yakuza Fan Game!

Intro (PINNED POST)

Hello! I’m Avery ( @averydavery is my main account) and I’m creating my own Ryu Ga Gotoku/Like A Dragon/Yakuza fan game which will be called “Like A Dragon: Undying.” This post is the pinned post for this blog that should explain some questions you may have about it and bring awareness to the game itself! Please read below the cut for more details

Info

What kind of game is LAD: Undying going to be? What is it a spin off of?

Like A Dragon: Undying (LADU) will be a multi-genre title. It borrows elements from RGGO! and LAD 7 & LAD 8, but still incorporates some aspects unfamiliar to veteran players. LADU’s story sections will be in visual novel form and feature rendered artwork of each character’s various expressions. Each chapter will feature one or more brief but important story beats that feature a fully painted and semi-animated scene to emphasize whatever is the most important moment of that chapter. If you’re familiar with the Metal Gear Solid Visual Graphic Novels, then it will be something very similar to that. However, combat/gameplay sequences will divert for this entirely and be in an 8-bit style. Fights will be turn based RPG battles on a horizontal plane, similar to OFF or Deltarune. These battles will feature a normal attack mechanic and a special attack point-buy based mechanic. Also the player will get some very few special moves that feature a brief animation for it— I plan on building a mechanic on when and how this special move can be unleashed.

What will the plot be like?

The plot takes place after the events of LAD 7 but departs from the traditional plot of the series by incorporating a supernatural element to it. While I cannot explain what I mean by this I will say that it isn’t anything like high-fantasy by any means.

As for a brief overview, the game starts with Ichiban crossing paths with the game’s new deuteragonist, Nokori, a vengeful amnesiac who is willing to do whatever it takes to find out his what happened to him and what his true identity is. Ichiban vows to help him on his quest and together they search for the truth.

Who is Nokori?

Nokori is my oc and the secondary protagonist to the game (who I plan on making playable for at least one chapter). He is seen in the art on this post wearing an orange and teal outfit! He dual wields with his katana and tanto, making for some interesting combat abilities. Later in the game you will see that he gains some very powerful and entertaining moves for battle, but I can’t say too much about him or else I’ll be spoiling. His personality is very much like a cat. He’s quiet and reserved, quick to irritation, speaks very eloquently, and at times can very bold when he’s cocky or teasing.

Will there be romance?

I plan on writing in a romance but it won’t come until the latter half of the story. I’m hoping by then I can maybe make it optional for those uninterested? But this entire game idea came from the oc x canon fic I wrote three chapters of about Nokori and Ichiban so… 👩‍🦯

YOU’LL ALL LOVE HIM TOO I SWEAR!!

Where can I see examples of your artwork to get an idea of what the game will look like?

On my main blog that I dropped the @ to above I have the majority of my artwork but all of my work and my most active platform is instagram! my username there is @averydavery.png!

Are there spoilers for it anywhere?

YES! Surprise, surprise, you can actually get spoiled up to chapter 3 if you know where to look. As I mentioned before this started as a fanfic and that’s still public, which you are free to read as you please but please know that some things that happen there have been RETCONNED in the script to the game, so be warned. I’m not share the name of it or anything either because I don’t want someone posting spoilers or something to ruin the intrigue of this game.

That being said I actually have some artwork that contains spoilers floating about and while I think it’s been archived or deleted, you can never be so sure…

Where can I play LADU when it releases?

It is my goal to post it on Newgrounds or Itch.io, or both!

Support

As of now I am working on this game almost entirely on my own and it will be amazing if I only ever get one chapter of it done. My fantastic friend Thea (no full name given) has been my editor and has been the person I’ve been running all of this by, so I’d be nowhere without her. Also I have another friend who has offered to compose a song for the OST! He’s making Nokori’s theme which I’m so excited to hear when he’s finished with it. However, since this is a fangame I’m not profiting off of it by any means and am making it from scratch so I don’t get sent a cease and desist order from RGG Studio. That means I am animating, designing, drawing, writing, and coding everything myself. So far the only thing unoriginal is that I’m using the intellectual property of LAD. Besides that everything is by me.

How can I support you?

The best way to support me and my fangame is by spreading the word! Likes, comments, reblogs, shares, and asks are all appreciated! Also it would mean a lot if you did the same on my instagram! However if you’d like to off me monetary support I take commissions!

How can I volunteer?

Since I’m making this on my own, any help would be greatly appreciated. However, I’m only looking for people who are qualified (musicians and coders are needed the most) so please understand that I will want to see your work first before deciding if you can assist. Please understand why I’m doing this and also understand that you will be VOLUNTEERING I am in no way forcing you to do anything and do not expect you to toil for hours on end for me. Like even some simple guidance on how to do these things myself would be great.
