[peachonified]

I have some anime recommendations.

I have STRUGGLED this year to find things to watch. I don't particularly like romance - it saps the storyline - and I like action/comedy. It's why I've always had a taste for sports anime.

So... this is just a starting point for the lost souls who are just after something, and don't know where to start. This is in no particular order, although prob related to how recently I watched it...

1. The Apothecary Diary

Set in a land in the far east, Maomao is sold to the back palace. From there she solves mysteries.

This is honestly such a great show! Intrigue, engaging characters, and you could absolutely read Maomao as aroace. This was a stand out.

I also love the opening song. Very Shakira-esque.

2. Another stand out was Death Mount, Death Play

I'm not a fan of super violence, so I almost didn't make it past ep 1... but I ADORED this show. The main character is amazing, the shark in the credits is so cute, the story is many faceted, and I seriously adored it! highly reccomend.

3. I wasn't expecting to enjoy God of High School.

Now, it absolutely does feel like it needs a second season, but it ended in a way that felt okay too... it is based on aKorean wrbcomic, but has japanes va's. It's an over powered fighting anime, with mystery powers and a very likable main character. It's got super baddies to hate, and it does edge into too violent for my taste, but still sat down and watched my way through it xD

4. Ah... my beloved sports anime. I'm gonna add Haikyuu! And Kuroko no Basket here. I mean... both are fandoms I write for xD

Haikyuu!! Is great as there are no real bad guys, and lots of growth all round.

Kuroko is basically magical high school boys who play high school basketball, but same thing: lots of character growth, lots of friendship.

One thing I love is how the boys cry? I mean that in a they are disappointed when they lose and aren't told to suck it up. I always appreciate that!

5. It's been hard to avoid isekai animes, and some of them are less than engaging, it is true. But some? Some are delightful!

5a So, I got reincarnated as a slime is one of my faves.

It's just... nice? Satisfying? It doesn't reaaaaally push any boundaries (although I love almost everything about the final arc). There's so many loveable characters, and it's alot of fun. It helps I've always loved slimes, so this overpowered one isno exception.

5b why Raeliana ended up at the dukes mansion is, yes a romance.

But its also fun. Our protagonist is reincarnated into a gane, as a character that they know will die. And they don't want to die! And so... this isthat story.

5c. This lead me down the reincarnated in a game pathway, and I came across My next life as a villainess: all roads lead to doom

You know those really dumb lovable characters? Well, I love Catarina. She is charming with a harem comorised if almost everyone she grew up with, and there's just something so delightful! I laughed outloud as much as i groaned at this one!

Older ones I reccomend:

Natsume's Book of friends

Slice of life about a boy who can see spirits. Definitely leans towards melancholy, but really leans into found family

2. Black Clover

Look. Get past Asta screaming in the first 20 eps and you've got some enjoyable action. The characterisation is

Hiya! :-D I've been meaning to reach out w some questions and finally decided to commit!!! ;v;

Idk if it's stated anywhere, but I'm curious what inspired the concept of the game? And what made you choose Lucien as his name bc it fits him so well <3

I'm also really curious abt the original plot of Rosalind's Lie, how much of in-game lore do we get to see? Or is it only mentioned in passing here and there? Just the idea of a game's storyline (RL) inside another game's storyline (IITAOAYD) intrigues me a lot

Sorry for the long ask ;v;!

Hii!! Thanks so much for reaching out! If you think your ask is long then wait till you read this answer haha... But on that note it's totally fine, I absolutely love reading any and all ramblings because I'm a rambler myself (it's the adhd) and like to consume new knowledge, even if I can't actually retain all of it :') (btw I love Mychael and can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the game aaa)

Honestly, the idea just kinda came out of nowhere one day (my brain does that) because of the recent(?) boom in yandere games, I was thinking what kind of yandere I might make and just thought of a concept where mc might be isekai'd into the yan's garden and he kind of immediately gets attached because they're 'untainted' by the world and other people and wants to keep it that way.

I should mention that I'm a fan of isekai genre in general because it's such a self-indulgent escape from our boring mundane lives, a kind of fresh start that a lot of people wish they had access to. Ironically though, I prefer the isekais that are more focused on living a new life as opposed to getting op powers and making waves in the world

Back to the topic, didn't really think too seriously on it till I saw the yanjam announcement and decided why not. Then I decided to add the reincarnation/otome isekai tropes into the mix to make it more interesting, except that mc is themselves and not another character. So stories like "My next life as a Villainess: All roads lead to doom!" and "Death is the only ending for the Villainess" (I promise it's two different things) come to mind for inspirations.

The game will lightly parody these popular tropes, which is why if Lucien looks like every other 'Duke of the North' with his red eyes and black hair(but less buff as I'd like because drawing men is an ongoing struggle for me) then it's on purpose. His name....... well it's honestly embarrassing but it really just comes from angel/demon inspo while talking it out with a friend, since Dukes are mostly portrayed as 'monsters' in comparison to the angelic Prince or so, when in reality it's the other way around. So its kinda like Lucifer...Lucien... yeah, not very creative but I also wanted a name that could be turned into a cute nickname(Lucy) so I decided to roll with it.

Since I gave such a specific name like "Rosalind's Lie" for the og game, I do intend to flesh out the story at some point, though for now I only have rough concepts because I'm terrible at planning lore I'm so sorry. But that somehow didn't stop me from being ambitious with it because I'm weird like that. Anyways, Rosalind's Lie is named so because the titular character Rosalind kicks off her relationships with the eligible bachelors through lies. As for why, it's because she was born in the slums and orphaned at a young age, and had only herself to rely on to survive. Thanks to that she's very street-smart and cunning, and by chance she caught the attention of a kind Baron who decides to adopt her. He was nice enough, but not very smart or ambitious, which she felt was a waste, so she decides to make her own fortune in life and marry rich - she's really more like a villainess than a heroine lol but basically she encapsulates both roles. Her "lie" in Lucien's route is basically her nicking his brooch during a ball and pretending she found it and returns it to him, which prompts him to invite her for lunch or something as thanks. And then she plans various other small schemes because he's notoriously hard to get a hold of but eventually starts liking him for real.

I'm actually not sure how much of the og lore I'll involve in yanduke, other than mc occasionally making some callbacks when they're reminded of something, because mc is isekai'd before the plot of the game starts this time, which is ofc heavily derailed and non-existent by then thanks to our yan.

Sorry for the late reply, I actually had to knock around the old noggin to articulate an answer, but again, questions like these are always welcome because it actually helps me formulate some plot points too!

Prototype 23.02 - Bakarina

Prototype 23.02 - Bakarina

Okay, okay, I need to do another one of these posts, the ones where I talk about the monthly prototype for February, that was Smooch Month, okay, that means it’s a standard template at this point, complaining about how hard it is to make smoochy games. Oh wait, what do you mean this time I got inspired and had a cool idea and wanted to build on that? Well, snap, what did I make?

Inspired by My Next Life As A Villainess, All Roads Lead To Doom, I devised something that was really nagging at me as a problem. See, smoochy games don’t feel to me like they benefit from being competitive (mostly). I was stuck on the question of, hey, how do I make a romantic narrative game that focuses on a relationship and choices that lead to that, that doesn’t pit players at odds with one another? How then, do I make a cooperative game about smooching?

I did it!

The game in question is currently just saved as ‘bakarina,’ a reference to the main character of that anime. The idea of this game is that you’re playing the main character of an otome game – a group of players piloting one character. Each player represents a mood of the character, so you’re all working together to try and find a partner that matches your style or appeal as it is, and also trying to avoid getting involved in a ‘bad ending’ of the game (by winding up with a bad date, or some kind of deadly end).

The game’s primary play experience is drafting. Players are drafting cards that become resources you can spend to solve problems, but the problems are the cards you didn’t draft. After a round of drafting, everyone works together to offer cards to solve those problems, and people can see what resources you have so they might see the things you choose not to address, while you’re trying to guide the group towards a good match.

I consider this game in pre-prototype. I think that with a little bit of time dedicated to it in a day where I don’t have to do tons of other work, I could belt out the resources necessary to get a prototype of this game delivered from Gamecrafter. It’s definitely doable. And what’s more is that all that I need to do from here can actually be automated. I need to create card faces, art standins, and iconography, but the rules system is complete and the card template too!

The bulk of what goes into the game is a deck of cards that look like this:

If you really want the rules, don’t worry, I’ll post them at the end, so you can see rules in that state.

What about the accounting of the steps of the making of the game idea?

I did a Mastodon thread tracking my thoughts on this game over time, if you want to read it step-by-step. I tried to demonstrate thought processes at each stage of things, and tried to do more direct, clear explicit statement of choices and why I made them.

There’s more, too! I took notes in a physical notebook, which I shared on my instagram (1, 2, 3, 4). Think of my instagram as a diary space, where I try to take a maximum of one image a day, so that makes it a great place for me to put notebook pages I can share. This is where the game started out, first examining the needs and possible mechanics that could address those needs.

Now, you wanna read the rules?

Okay, here you go:

[BAKARINA]

A Cooperative Game of Otome Conflicts

Overview

The protagonist of an otome game is trying to navigate complex situations to work out who she loves, who she’s dating, and who she’ll wind up with, made more complicated by her personality being played by multiple different players who can’t communicate with one another!

Theme

The players are each playing different aspects of the personality of an otome game protagonist. Each round, players draft cards to gather resources, in anticipation of dealing with dramatic moments in the story ahead of them. Then, players have to spend the cards they drafted to try and romantically match with partners they want, or to avoid accumulating Death Flags. Players win when they get to a relationship 6 with a single partner, and then check to see if that character is a good match, to see if they wind up in a tragic or heroic end.

Components

5 dice

8 tokens

5 Value tokens representing how much you like the boy

3 Death Flag tokens

90 cards

16 each of 5 suits

10 Death Flag cards

6 Jumbo cards

1 Hot Boys card

5 Player info cards

Rules

Setup

Give each player a player card

Set the smoochable card where everyone can see it

Set each of the dice next to the smoochable boys, set to 1

Each player looks at a single Value token and puts it face-down on the player board. Players cannot tell one another what they know about that token.

Then, shuffle up the deck of cards and and set it where players can easily access it, and a discard pile can be easily seen. Each player draws 3 cards.

Play happens simultaneously.

Play

The game takes place in two phases; the draft, then the problems.

Each player, on their turn, picks one of the cards in their hand, and turns it face down, keeping it. This is a Resource.

Then, of the remaining cards, that player puts a card face-up in the Problems pile.

Then, pass the last card to the next player.

Draw two cards from the deck.

Once you’ve drafted a number of cards equal to twice the number of players, it’s time to sort out the problems.

Sort the problem deck and find the highest value problem cards. Pick a number of cards equal to the number of players, plus one. Set the rest of the cards into the discard pile, face-up.

Then, players need to determine which of the Problems cards they want to deal with or not. Players can’t tell why they may want to ignore a Problem, but they can be clear about which ones they want to contribute to.

Players spend the resources they have available;

Problems either offer a potential reward or a compulsory reward. Problems with compulsory rewards (symbol) give you their reward if you don’t spend resources to prevent them.

The players then get to have the rewards for any cards they resolved

A heart lets you increment the appropriate dice on the play board

A peek lets one player look at a face-down token on the board

A swap lets one player swap a face-down token with another token on the board

A death flag adds a death flag token to your board. Then, if the players have three death flags, they lose

The players then put their cards in the discard, and each draw three cards, starting a new round of drafting.

If at any point the deck is empty and players can’t draw from it, shuffle the discarded cards and make that a new deck

Winning

When at least one of the dice hits 6, at the end of turn, the game ends; players can pick one of the dice at 6, and then players choose which of the 6-ranked boys they marry. Players agree on a character, then flip the token to see if the character is a Great Match, a fine match, a bad match or another death flag.

Fandom: My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Lead To Doom!

The official royal painting of King Geordo and Queen Katarina!

Headcanon:

They found out that Katarina is pregnant.

Geordo wasn't really surprised that they are expecting a child so soon because of their nightly activities... 😉

He wanted some alone time to savour the moment before (he has to share her again) announcing the queen's pregnancy so he commissioned someone to paint them.

Katarina tried to sit still but she reached her limit after five minutes.

She complained that she's hungry and that her butt hurts for sitting way too long (she's sitting for five minutes).

Geordo had Katarina to sit in his lap (in exchange he'll give her cookies) since it's much more comfortable.

While they are being painted, the king and queen talked about baby names.

Years later, the painter won an award for the portrait that showed how happy and in love The Impenetrable King Geordo and The Beloved Queen Katarina.
