Another set of Fictif redesigns: Poe (Roadkill) and Calysta (For the Love of Gods)

Poe was a bit tricky to think of ideas for as I'm not well versed in the summer horror films his character is set in. I made him a little lankier to avoid being generically fit, and kept the academic aesthetic but with a bit more gothic elements and references to ravens for the Edgar Allan Poe thing

In contrast, I changed Calysta a lot. First, I had to give her bigger muscles because I love buff women. I also gave her stone skin and the thick leather belt to add to her title as the goddess of strength. I associate strength with stone, elephants and similar large herbivores, and gentle fortitude. Inhuman-looking gods are excellent as well, and it's why Astrellio is one of the best designs, so I had to go with that

thinking about how batshit i thought howie’s amnesia ending was before i played poe’s route… looking back, it’s still crazy but it’s not, like, “my uncle that got turned into a poodle by an evil magician has decided to remain a poodle in the afterlife because he likes it actually” crazy

Admit it, vampires are sexy! This Halloween is perfect to read or re-read Howie's route in Roadkill 🧛‍♂️

If you never played roadkill, trust me that exactly how the game goes.

I miss the roadkill trio and it's sadly one of those game with no fandoms where you have to create fancontent yourself 😔.

Go play it, it's bad but so funny and just Poe's ending got me sobbing.

I miss the roadkill trio so much so just imagine

Poe who kisses you soft and lovingly, trailing from your neck to your jaw until giving you sweet kiss on the lips. He's also the type to give forehead kisses. Your face held gently in his hand as he press a soft kiss to your forehead before resting his head on your shoulder, whispering a little "I love you" in your ear.

Howie who hugs you so tight, spinning you around before finally kissing you. He can't help but get so happy when he sees you! His kiss is the type that gives you butterflies no matter how many times you've done it. Afterwards he'll wrap his arm around your shoulder before talking about his day and asking about yours.

Tess who on some days gives you passion and some days gives you sweetness, on both occasions it always ends up with you giggling as she continues to pepper you with kisses. She might even give you some nibbles here and there, whether it be on your ear, cheek, jaw, neck, or shoulder just so she can kiss it afterwards.

That's Poe's ending? Really?????? HELL THE FUCK NOT.

[dawnsbreaking]

men crushed under the weight of their own emotional inadequacies are really my kryptonite, eh?

What are you favorite and least favorite design tropes in fictif and/or general dating sims after playing so many of them?

Going to sound contradictory, but hear me out; I really like the tall buff characters (especially if they're women), but I'm tired of every character in a dating sim needing a six pack and being over 6 foot. Not every character needs to be a chiselled adonis

As in any character design but especially for dating sims you should use different body types to provide contrast and variety. That way you get a wide range of appealing characters and get to communicate to your audience about a specific character the same way you use clothes, hair, and facial features.

eg. Poe and Sergio don't need to be muscular. They're a writer and lawyer (not essentially active occupations) and it weakens Howie and Chava's impact as a jock and physical labourer because their musculature is just "standard" rather than examples of their effort. In contrast, Felix is slender and short. Not only does this communicate his less active scholarly/magic role, but it makes Sage's scarred and musclebound body even more notable.

Yes, people can be muscular for hobby/health/vanity but it's boring and uncreative to make it a default, not even going into the whole "unrealistic body standards" thing.

Also I'm a big fan of dark brown eyes so another least favourite design trope is the lack of dark brown eyes. They're pretty, gosh darn it! Give me more!

I miss Fictif, but it was far from flawless

I actually got into this series because of "The Arcana" (plus romance games don't often let you play as anything other than a female lead), but I found that even though I liked it's potential, it fell short a lot of the time, either romantically or story-wise. I'm obviously disappointed that I can't customize my character's appearence, but I think I'm in the minority with that one. Allow me to list my grievances and nit-picks with the app.

In general--Female routes are short and underdeveloped. I don't even romance women IRL, but this was just sad. Anika, Tess, Valentina, and Celia are the only female love interests to have solo routes while the rest are in one-route stories--and Valentina didn't even get a route before Dorian took over and effectively stopped updating the app!

"Two Against the World"--As much as I love Nicky, this story turned me off as a gay male player. The writing feels female-coded, and no acknowledgement of the stigma of two men being in a relationship in 1920s New York is ever mentioned. It'd make more sense if the setting was INSPIRED by 1920s New York, but in reality was a completely different location--but that wasn't the case. It felt like a big mifire in storytelling.

"Heir to Love & Lies"--I cannot overstate how much of a disappointment this story was. In both Sergio and Chava's route, Chava starts off very friendly and sweet before becoming aggressive and secretive. This doesn't really make any sense since he's your childhood best friend and (spoiler) he doesn't kill La Dama Rosa in either route. Plus in Chava's route, Aurora becomes very cruel and blames us for getting her family (re)involved with the cartel, even though in actuality she involved us--a point Chava tells us to let go, and then we apologize. For what?! And the end of Sergio's route is confusing, as you go through a dream sequence where he either kills you and takes your money or you get him arrested for killing La Dama Rosa. I think it's supposed to represent your fears and mistrust of him and symbolize how you need to let your concerns go if you wanna marry him, but it feels uncomfortable since it's not explained well at all. It felt like we just saw the future and we said "I don't care." Plus he asks us stuff about kids, our wedding, and where we'd live, and he took NONE of my decisions into account for the final chapter.

"Roadkill"--I was SO confused on what was the result of the wish and what wasn't. Did Douglas' wish create werewolves, vampires, and witches along with zombies? Or did they already exist before the zombie wish? If it's the latter, there's no need to involve zombies. Plus Howie's amnesia arc in the last chapter was rushed and unnecessary, while Poe came off as judgmental and snarky and Tess' route was short and rushed.

"Catch Me in Miami"--I couldn't get into Miguel because he was so obviously a bad boy and I don't do bad boys. Maybe if he was more coy about it like Nicky than being obvious about it, I'd be into him.

"For the Love of Gods"--Great potential, but rushed and I DESPISE how we're forced to romance everyone. Why can't I just choose how many people I'm interested in?

"Ghosted"--Probably my least favorite story. Jesse's ghost story does sound interesting, but his personality and how rushed it was ruined it for me.

"Hollywoodland"--Rushed, but it had great potential.

"Snow Falling in Love"--It felt like a waste not to tie this with "Roadkill" due to Sawyer's involvement, and Elise was CRAZY obsessed with us.

"Courting the Crown"--Beautiful Potential, but again, rushed, rushed, rushed.

"The Last Legacy"--Probably the best plot of them all, but Felix and Sage weren't my type physically or personality-wise; I'd rather go for Felix's dads.

I didn't include other stories because they either weren't finished or I didn't complete them.

Look at our boys all dressed up! Who would you rather attend a formal event with?

[kailoweenie2]

Fuck it, I own roadkill and the characters now, not fictif/hj. Poe, Howie, and Tess are in a poly relationship with MC and they have the best live ever in LA
