drv3 trial 4

[inmyowndelusion]

So I’m on chapter 4 of DV3 and Shuichi just described Kokichi’s body as “lithe”

And the definition of a lithe body is a thin and attractive, and able to move easily and gracefully.

Soooo did Shuichi just describe Kokichi as attractive.. or am I just looking into it too much.

Holyyyy shit, the first art piece I commissioned is done and ??? It’s fucking amazing??? How are people so talented?! I’m so unbelievably excited to show it, but gonna hold myself back until Chapter 4 is done (we ain’t waiting till Chapter 5, I’m too antsy to show it off!!) But here are just the smallest little tastes ‘cause I just love it too much:

drv3 logic (OR: I was writing a post about architecture again, when I got distracted by... architecture)

for a while now, I've thought this garish pattern on the stairs and the barred doorway in drv3's school resembled a temporary texture file. y'know, the generic repeating pattern game devs slap onto a 3D model to make sure their texturing is working right before they do any committal custom painting work

if that sentence didn't make sense to you, basically, in order to "paint" a 3D model and get the final look you see in-game on any object, you need to produce a flattened file of the object's 3D points. then, you color the file, which will ultimately lay upon the 3D model. while you're making the file, it's beneficial to look at both the model and the file with a pattern - this will help you identify if you've made the file correctly, because if you make a mistake with where you've placed the 3D points, you get weird stretches or breaks in the pattern

with my apologies for yoinking a top result off the search engine presses for demonstrative purposes, it looks something like this

therefore, I've been affectionately referring to the stairs and their companion doorway as, "Areas Where the Dev Team Purposely Left On the Test Texture for Your Virtual Reality Interpretation Needs"

I haven't changed my mind on that. I still think that's the reason those areas look the way they do. it's an unexplained piece of evidence you can take into consideration for your interpretation of drv3, or not. however, I did. today. realize why the stairs and that barred doorway of all places were chosen to receive this texture treatment

it's their location. they represent another gamified concept. they're *map loading triggers*. the stairs take you to the next floor (another map), and the barred doorway takes you to the back-half of the first floor (a separate map)

unlike the special areas Shuichi unlocks with Monokuma's "prizes" during each chapter's exploration phase, that burst into pixels or shed all their foliage, there are no cut-scenes attached to them. they're low effort, something the monokubs might have forgot to do to completion or made a slapdash effort on. if you want to look at the game from an "it's virtual reality!" lense, that's the joke

but the thing that really convinced me of this being intentional, personally, was the chosen texture. the method used to produce that file I mentioned earlier is called UV unwrapping, and a pretty common texture used as the temporary test texture during its' process is a checkered pattern

here's some more yoinking. top search results for "UV unwrapping"

however, the dev team didn't use a checkered pattern. perhaps because in drv3 that has an immediately obvious association with a character: Kokichi. and as much as the dev team loves casting suspicion on Kokichi, they've got to share that love! he doesn't really make for the ideal virtual reality mastermind candidate for your *AUs*

no, there's a much better candidate for that. one with a sometimes self-inflated ego to be more inclined to use this cornflower yellow and pink color scheme during her building process, and may... MAYBE... have more experience placing map loading areas in a virtual world?

Drawganronpa Day 3: Murderswap

I swapped the killer but not the victim because it’s an idea I had a while ago.

@shsl-islandmode-events

Details about the murder under the cut:

Long story short, in this scenario, Miu targets Shuichi instead of Kokichi. She plans to use the Neo World Program to kill Shuichi without a trace, by luring him in it (alone). She added a script in the NWP that deletes Shuichi’s avatar/conscience after he logs in, killing him from shock. She’d then move his body somewhere totally unrelated to obfuscate the cause and location of death.

In this scenario, Kiibo and Shuichi are closer friends, and since Miu’s been working so hard on the computer, her friendship with Kiibo suffers from it. Kiibo finds out about her plan since he’s the only one who can access her room, and he could make out details by talking to her. When he realizes she’s serious and that he won’t be able to talk her out of it, he decides to stop her.

He meets her in the computer room when she’s doing the final preparations and confronts her. He first wanted to solve this peacefully, but when he sees she will kill him too if he doesn’t back off, he has to go to his plan B and… well… kills her. He lets her die slowly from blood loss while he cleans himself and goes to Shuichi (they had agreed to meet up during the night for a reason Kiibo made up for his plan, so he could have an alibi for Miu’s death).

I won’t detail what happens after, because I want to write a fanfiction about it. The fun has just started!

This is giving hefty danganronpa (particularly drv3 and Kokichi Ouma) vibes and I've listened to it so many times this week
