Danganronpa V3 Commentary: Bonus 4.1 - Ultimate Talent Development Plan (Mostly Kaito Edition)

This is postgame content, so people shouldn’t be reading this without having already finished the main game anyway. But just to be safe: while this is non-canon character stuff, I will sometimes be mentioning events that happened in the main story, so there will be spoilers for the main game.

First off, some of the usual preamble about how this mode even works. Functionally, it’s, of all things, a board game that serves as a companion for another bonus mode which is a dungeon crawler RPG. Characters don’t gain experience from battles in the RPG; instead, you level up characters in this mode, by playing through the board game as them. I could go on at great length about all the mechanics of this, because I got rather addicted to it at one point. (Apparently all you need to do to make me invested in the mechanics of an RPG is to put characters I already love into it, and then I will do everything in my power to figure out how to turn them into the awesomest fighters they can be. Kaito is the best tank and will take all of the hits to protect his glass-cannon sidekicks!) But we’re here for the story aspect, so I shall restrain myself.

Flavour-wise, each playthrough of the board game follows your chosen character as they live out three years at Hope’s Peak, in a non-despair AU in which the casts from DR1, DR2 and DRV3 are all in the same school year. (Well, it’s mostly non-despair – at the end of the three years, an army of Monokuma robots is unleashed under the school, and that’s the dungeon crawling part. But your heroes ultimately deal with that threat before it can cause any chaos outside.)

The board game is only a very abstract representation of this story. Each turn supposedly represents one month, but really most of the spaces on the board are just various ways to level up your various attributes and don’t have any real narrative. The only spaces that matter for our purposes here are Friendly Spaces, which will show you one of five scenes featuring your character, that I’ll refer to as “friendly events”, in which they interact with one or two other students. If you land on enough Friendly Spaces, which is easy enough to do if you’re aiming for it, you’ll see all five scenes with your character.

The other source of story here is seasonal events, which trigger automatically on a specific month in each of the three years. The character you’re playing as gets a choice of three possible things they can do for the event, each of which results in a scene with one or two other characters. Unfortunately, these choices are mutually exclusive, so to see all of a character’s scenes, you need to play as them through almost the entirety of the board game (because the last seasonal event is near the end of year 3) three times.

…But actually, that’s not all, not if you want to really see all the scenes for a single character. Friendly Space scenes are easy to see all of because they’ll appear when you’re playing as any of the characters featured in them. (Well, usually; one of Kaito’s doesn’t appear for him, but that seems to be just a programming oversight.) But the seasonal event scenes don’t work this way and only appear for the character who is given the choice of what to do. So any given character is also going to appear in a bunch of other characters’ seasonal events, and you’re only going to see those scenes by playing as those other characters. Worse, if you’re interested in a specific character’s scenes, there’s no way to even know which other characters’ seasonal events they appear in. So the only way to be sure that you’ve seen every single scene for a given character is to play through the board game three times each as *every single one of over fifty characters*. (Actually, the exact number is fifty-three, which… I think is genuinely just a coincidence. Heh.)

In short, thank god for the wiki. I do not envy but am immensely grateful to the people who went and did exactly that and got transcripts – with sprites, even – of every single one of these scenes. Thankfully, each character’s page for this mode on the wiki contains all of their own seasonal events and all of their appearances in other characters’ seasonal events, so you can see absolutely all of their scenes in one place. I am not using my Vita for this one. (I wouldn’t have wanted to anyway because the backlog function doesn’t work in this mode, but.)

While it makes things way more inconvenient in terms of actually seeing every scene, I do prefer the board game as a framing device for this AU’s story far more than the framing device for the Salmon Team AU. Salmon Team used the same interface of Shuichi walking around and talking to people that the main story had, which resulted in an impression that, in-story, everyone was just robotically standing in the same spot every day doing nothing until Shuichi came to talk to them. But this board game is abstract enough that we know none of the rolling dice and landing on spaces is really what’s happening in-story. The scenes we see give us a glimpse of the students’ school lives, but there’s clearly so much more happening offscreen that we don’t get to see. It feels like an organic and fully-realised story that the board game just happens to only give us a series of brief windows into.

Before beginning into the board game itself and seeing any of the actual scenes, you also get a single textbox from the character you’ve chosen to play as, as they get ready to enrol in Hope’s Peak.

Kaito: “Alright! I’ll keep training while I’m here and after I graduate, I’ll go straight to space!”

Kaito’s words here raise a few questions, honestly. If he’s already started astronaut training, he should be focusing entirely on that and really should not also be attending high school. He questioned in the demo why he’d have bothered enrolling in some academy when he should just be working on getting to space as soon as possible; you’d think he’d feel the same even if it was Hope’s Peak! It seems like the writing is just desperately trying to have it be the case that Kaito is both already an astronaut trainee in order to justify his Ultimate status, and yet is also attending Hope’s Peak, even though dividing his focus like that really doesn’t seem like the right way for Hope’s Peak to nurture his talent.

However, we could get this to work by imagining that Kaito is exaggerating here about having already started his training. Perhaps what’s really going on is this: Kaito managed to impress the space program despite being way too young, so they made him a deal. They recommended him to Hope’s Peak as the Ultimate Astronaut, having acknowledged his incredible potential to be one, and if he graduates from there, then he gets to jump straight into astronaut training without also needing a college degree. After all, part of Hope’s Peak’s deal is supposed to be that you’re “set for life” if you graduate, which I can imagine would equate to getting privileges like that.

I wonder if these privileges also mean that Maki doesn’t have to be an assassin any more after she graduates. This is the one universe in which Maki has actually killed people and her assassin cult actually exists and she’s going to have to go back to killing people again once this is over, which makes me very sad. Unfortunately I really doubt the canon Hope’s Peak would have given a fuck about helping Maki out like that, and all of the scenes we see here remain very vague about what’s going to happen to Maki once she leaves. Buuuut maybe we can pretend that this AU version of Hope’s Peak is nicer and is going to abolish her assassin cult as its way of making her “set for life”? I just don’t want to imagine Maki having to go back to killing once she leaves here. I can’t imagine Kaito or Shuichi would stand for it either.

Meanwhile, in Shuichi’s little intro line, he isn’t wearing his hat, when he really should be if you think about it. Until he meets Kaito and Kaede and starts trying to be braver, he’s not going to take that thing off.

…So, if this introduction didn’t already make it obvious, I’m going to be focusing on scenes featuring at least one of our adorable training trio, with a particular focus on Kaito because what did you expect, it’s me.

Shuichi (featuring Kyoko)

Obviously one of the friendly events I’m here to talk about is one between Shuichi and Kaito!

Shuichi is already Kaito’s sidekick in this event, which is something we don’t really need to be shown coming about, not when we can easily fill in the gaps and imagine that it went roughly like it did in canon. Kaito saw Shuichi’s weakness and made it his business to help, just like Kaito always does.

…It is a little different from canon, because there isn’t the context of Shuichi needing to have his act together in case there’s another class trial, nor is there the subtle Kaito’s-issues context of him feeling like Shuichi has already been more of a hero than him and wanting to make himself a part of that in order to feel useful and not inferior. But this just goes to show that those reasons were never necessary and Kaito would have reached out to Shuichi regardless, because that’s genuinely just who he is.

Kaito: “Why’re you looking so down now? I thought you’d been looking better than when you first got to this academy. If there’s something going on, then spit it out! It’s a hero’s job to help out his sidekick!”

Shuichi: “It’s nothing, I just… I feel as though I haven’t used my detective skills lately.”

Kaito noticing Shuichi looking down and encouraging him to talk about whatever’s wrong is still so good. It seems Shuichi would normally have felt this wasn’t important enough to mention, but thanks to Kaito’s prodding, he’s been starting to learn that it’s okay to talk about even small-seeming problems, because Kaito will help him with anything.

(And Kaito is indeed actually right in his judgement that something was wrong, because this isn’t chapter 4 in which he’d become desperate enough to forcefully insist Shuichi needed his help when he really didn’t. No I am not going to stop mentioning the time Kaito did that in his chapter 4 FTE; it was delightful.)

Shuichi: “I feel like… I should be doing something. I got my Ultimate talent by chance, so…”

Props to Shuichi for wanting to do something about this. Even though he feels he got his Ultimate title by chance, he’s not just going to wallow in the feeling that he doesn’t deserve it – he wants to work until he can feel like he does deserve it and can be proud of it! It’s definitely Kaito (and probably also Kaede; she’s his friend in this AU too, of course) who helped Shuichi feel this way, because this was very much not his outlook at the beginning.

Shuichi: “But… a detective can’t work unless there’s a case to solve, or a request to fulfil.”

Kaito: “No! Your talents are more than just that!”

Shuichi: “Huh?”

Kaito: “Hey, Shuichi… I’m an astronaut. Do you think I’m useless when I’m not in space?”

Shuichi: “You’re not useless! You have good teamwork, and you always help people in need. Everyone really depends on you, Kaito.”

I really like Kaito’s approach to this. Of course he’s not useless when he’s not in space, because all of the skills he has that gave him his astronaut talent can also be applied in so many other ways! In terms of current achievements, Kaito is a far worse astronaut than Shuichi is a detective, because Shuichi has at least solved a good few cases, while Kaito’s never even been to space. But Kaito doesn’t let that get him down! There’s so much else he can do with his skills before he gets there!

Kaito: “Then what about detectives? Are they useless without cases or requests?”

Shuichi: “Well…”

So the same should go for Shuichi, right? Obviously!

Kaito: “So I’ll be the hero and you be my sidekick!”

Shuichi: “…Isn’t that what we’ve been doing?”

It’s… a little hard to translate the Kaito-ese here, and I don’t blame Shuichi for getting confused. But I think what he’s trying to get at is that he’ll cheer Shuichi on while Shuichi goes out there and lives up to his potential, because that’s what the hero-and-sidekick thing is really about.

Kaito: “And when someone’s in trouble, you help ‘em out! Like, by giving them advice or something! It might be different from your usual detective work, but… Instead of rotting away like that, it’ll make you feel alive by helping out those around us.”

It’s adorable that Kaito’s basically encouraging Shuichi to be more like him, in the sense of trying to help people. After all, he knows that Shuichi’s a naturally compassionate person who does instinctively want to help others a lot. Their respective talents lend themselves to helping others in quite different ways – Shuichi isn’t necessarily going to be as great at giving advice as Kaito is – but that just means that there’s things that Shuichi can do for people that even Kaito can’t.

There actually is something of a running theme of Shuichi doing this kind of thing in some of his other scenes in this AU! The types of cases he took on at his uncle’s office were often about finding lost pets or missing people, so he’s really good at tracking things down, which can come in very handy when others have more practical problems than the kind Kaito helps people with. Just like in canon, Kaito is good at helping people with his words, while Shuichi is good at helping people with his actions.

This also comes up a little in another one of Shuichi’s friendly events, with Kyoko. Because, yes, she’s here too, meaning there’s just awkwardly two different Ultimate Detectives in the same school year somehow.

Shuichi: “An apprentice like me doesn’t deserve to share the title of Ultimate Detective with you…”

Which, predictably, makes Shuichi feel rather inferior when comparing himself to Kyoko and her accomplishments.

Kyoko: “Others accept that you are a detective, and have also come to rely on you, too. The other day, I saw you running all over the place with Ryoma and Peko… No doubt because they needed your insights as a detective, right?”

Shuichi: “Ah, I was just looking for a missing cat around the academy… I’ve handled plenty of missing pet cases before, so I was able to help, but…”

This is indeed a thing that happened – there’s a scene between Ryoma and Peko (the former of whom is a big cat person and the latter of whom loves fluffy animals in general) in which they discuss a lost cat they’ve seen around school and ultimately decide to get Shuichi’s help to track it down and find its owner. That scene doesn’t actually get as far as featuring Shuichi in it, but this scene here with Kyoko confirms that he did indeed manage to help solve that “case”! It’s neat how there’s various events that are referred to in multiple scenes, to help things really feel like a cohesive story.

Kyoko: “Do you think it’s meaningless for people to rely on you?”

Shuichi: “…No, that’s wrong. It makes me… so happy to be helpful.”

Kyoko: “Then I see no reason for you to compare yourself to me. Every detective is shaped by their motives, methodologies, and case histories.”

Kyoko has such a good point! She and Shuichi are very, very different types of detective and shouldn’t really be compared to each other. Kyoko is a homicide detective and takes a very objective, impersonal approach to things, whereas Shuichi handles more domestic cases that are about solving people’s problems and generally has more of a focus on helping people in the process. It’s possible that Kyoko brings up people relying on Shuichi because she actually kind of looks up to him for that, since that’s very much not something that her own type of detective work makes her suited for.

This idea gets explored a little more in another scene Shuichi has with Kyoko, as one of his seasonal events for the final year. (I’ll mostly be trying to do the seasonal events in chronological order as we go along, but there’s some final-year events, such as this one, that exist as kind of a follow-up to an earlier friendly event between two characters. So I’ll be doing those in conjunction with the relevant friendly event, even if it means we have to temporarily skip ahead to the end of the three years now and then.)

Shuichi bumps into Kyoko about to leave for some urgent business in such a hurry that she won’t even have time to tell her classmates she’s going to miss the closing ceremony, so Shuichi offers to let Makoto know for her.

Kyoko: “If that’s the case… I’m sorry, but would you mind doing it?”

Shuichi: “Ah, don’t worry about it! It’s alright to depend on others when you need to. I’ll give you advice someone gave me. Don’t try to do everything by yourself. Sometimes, asking for help is exactly what you need. Even if it’s something small.”

The way Kyoko apologises before asking Shuichi for something this small does suggest that she’s very much not used to relying on others at all. Kyoko is of course naturally very capable and independent and doesn’t often need help in the first place, but she can also be reluctant to rely on others even when it would benefit her to do so. Good thing Shuichi can help her a little with that, in part thanks to all of the advice Kaito’s given him!

Shuichi: “Ah, but… I might be getting a little *too* much help from everyone…”

Kyoko is a detective who maybe doesn’t rely on others enough, while Shuichi is a detective who relies on others maybe a little too much. It’s a neat contrast.

Kyoko: “I never meant to hold it in… That was never my intention. When you involve yourself in someone else’s business, you can easily misjudge them.”

Shuichi: “I’m sure you’re right. There are certainly situations like that. But aren’t there times that make you think… you want to really trust someone? Even if you might get hurt?”

Kyoko at least tells herself that she tries to refrain from personal ties and relying on others in order to remain detached and impartial for her detective work. That is perhaps more important for a homicide detective than it would be for a domestic detective like Shuichi. Then again, in canon, Shuichi had to solve a bunch of murders, and he managed to do that despite also having an emotional side that willingly formed bonds and wanted to believe in people. You don’t have to throw away Kyoko Kirigiri in order to be the Ultimate Detective, Kyoko!

Also, Shuichi’s words about wanting to trust someone even if you might get hurt are definitely paraphrasing Kaito’s principles on that topic here and I love it. He’s had much less of an issue with that notion in this AU when there haven’t been any murders, but maybe instead it was the beginnings of their friendship with Maki that prompted Shuichi to ask Kaito how he could believe in people so easily.

Maki Roll (featuring Chihiro)

…And than brings us rather conveniently onto the next friendly event I wanted to cover, because of course Kaito also has a scene with Maki.

Maki is also already Kaito’s sidekick in this scene, but unlike with Shuichi, we can’t just assume this went basically how it did in canon. See, Kaito (and implicitly also Shuichi, though he’s not in this scene) knows about Maki’s talent, but nobody else does. Which is in fact a huge difference from canon that warrants some lengthy speculation about how Maki even ended up as Kaito’s sidekick in this universe at all.

In canon, it only happened because Kokichi found out Maki’s talent and told everyone. Kaito started properly reaching out to her and trying to make her his sidekick after that, and since she had nothing to lose because the worst had already happened and her secret was already out, she didn’t put up that much resistance. Kaito’s continued belief in her despite knowing her true talent let Maki realise that people knowing wasn’t the absolute end of the world like she’d been terrified it would be.

Here, though, without a class-wide bombshell revealing Maki’s identity, it’s very remarkable that Kaito even knows at all. Throughout chapter 2, Maki was so terrified of anyone finding out her secret, because she was absolutely convinced that it’d make everyone hate and fear and try to kill her and she’d end up forced to kill them in self-defence, which she did not remotely want to do. That fear might not be quite as intense outside of a killing game, nor without a whole room full of proof of her talent readily available for anyone to wander into, but it’d still be there. She’d still be reluctant to get close to anyone even under the guise of being the Ultimate Child Caregiver, not only out of a belief that she doesn’t deserve to have friends, but also out of a fear that letting someone get too close will increase the risk of them finding out her secret somehow even if she’s trying to hide it.

So obviously Kaito’s persistence and stubbornness would still have been a huge and necessary factor here. Although he didn’t know Maki’s talent and therefore just how weak she was and how badly she needed it, he must have seen her as a potential sidekick anyway. She was still cutting herself off from the rest of the class for reasons that Kaito’s instincts could tell weren’t malicious, meaning he probably figured that she was running away from something and needed help. So he’d have kept trying to talk to her and include her in things and invite her to train with him and Shuichi and generally be his incredibly stubborn self at her.

But… because Maki’s secret wasn’t already out, it must have taken way more stubbornness from Kaito here than it did in canon to finally get through to her. She’d have realised that he’s trying to figure out why she’s so closed off and get her to open up, but she would be utterly convinced that telling him the truth would only make him fear her and give up on her, and probably also warn everyone else about her talent and ruin everything.

There’s two possibilities I can think of for how Maki eventually gave in and opened up. One is that Kaito and Shuichi managed to figure it out themselves after enough attempts to talk to her, through a combination of Shuichi’s detective skills and Kaito’s intuition for people. Then they gently confronted her about it, with a very clear message of “we know this is why you’re scared, but it’s okay, we trust you, and you can trust us not to tell anyone, we only want to help you”. I’m not totally sold on this idea, though, because it would still leave Maki with the fear that she couldn’t actually trust them, not after they figured out her worst secret without her consent. (Also, hello Shuichi’s issues about accidentally figuring out truths that the subject of them hates having exposed.)

The more likely possibility, then, is that Maki did eventually tell Kaito herself, not out of openly trusting him and being comfortable with him knowing (because she would never believe that anyone could be okay with her being a killer until she’s already seen it happen), but more out of just trying to get him to finally leave her alone already. Surely knowing that she’s a killer will make even a stubborn idiot like him give up on her and realise she’s not worth getting close to, right? But that’s still remarkable, because people finding out her talent is still the worst and most terrifying scenario imaginable to Maki. So while she’d be telling herself on the surface that this is just to get rid of him, she would still have had to genuinely trust somewhere deep down that Kaito would at least respect her secret and not tell anyone else, even if he’d also totally never want to speak to her again.

I’m pretty sure that’s roughly how this must have gone down, and that’s really incredible. Maki would have had no obvious, undeniable way to realise she could trust Kaito, not like she had in canon from the simple fact that he continued to believe in her despite knowing that she’s an assassin. Imagine the absolute persistent supportiveness Kaito would have needed to display in order for Maki to start to instinctively feel that way anyway. And consider how huge it is for Maki that she did end up coming to trust Kaito enough, even if she wasn’t admitting it to herself, that she was able to briefly lift her otherwise-unbreakable barrier of no-one must ever know, if only in what she was telling herself was an attempt to push him away. Kaito is so good, and Maki absolutely needed someone as stubbornly, recklessly kind as him to begin to get through to her.

Kaito: “Hey, Maki Roll! You better remember our promise for tonight!”

Maki: “Are you talking about training? You made that promise, not me. And stop calling me Maki Roll.”

These opening lines put this scene very early on in Maki’s sidekickhood. Kaito has started calling her Maki Roll, which it only took him a few days to do in canon after she’d become his sidekick (and after he knew she was an assassin and therefore that giving her the most un-assassin-like nickname would be a good way to help her). But Maki has not yet given up telling him not to, which also only took a few days.

Plus, Maki is still acting like the only reason she’s going to training is because Kaito is nagging her to and is not yet openly accepting that she’s choosing to go for her own sake. In fact, the way they talk about the promise like it’s not already a regular arrangement suggests that tonight may be the first time Maki will ever come to training, or at most the second, if it happened for the first time last night and Kaito told her to come again tomorrow.

That moment in which Maki finally gave in and told Kaito about her talent must have been no more than a few days ago, then. Kaito would of course have responded by reassuring her that he still believes in her, and that rather than pushing him away, she should be accepting his help in growing stronger, for which she should obviously start coming to training with him and Shuichi.

Kaito: “Alright, you remember! I’ll see you there!”

Despite Maki acting like she’s only doing this because he’s nagging her, and not even explicitly promising she’ll be there, of course Kaito knows that she will definitely be there. He called it a promise in the first place because he knows that she has already made the choice to try and get stronger. And he can tell that she must already trust him on some level to have even told him her secret in the first place.

Maki: “…Is that why you came to talk to me?”

Kaito: “Nah, I’ve got a message from Kaede. She wants to talk about the promise you made with her. I dunno what kind of promise it is, but… since when were you guys so close?”

Maki: “We’re not close, and I wouldn’t call my arrangement with Kaede a promise, either. She offered to play piano for the kids at my orphanage. That’s all.”

This is actually a promise Kaede makes if you do Maki’s FTEs with Kaede in the main game! It’s lovely that they also put it into this AU and made it an actual thing that happens, because man was that never going to actually be able to happen in canon for multiple reasons.

Maki is probably right to say that she and Kaede aren’t that close. If she’s this early on in being Kaito’s sidekick, she definitely hasn’t really started to open up much with other people either. But it seems that despite that, Kaede has tried approaching Maki anyway and had similar conversations with her as she has in her canon FTEs, because Kaede is lovely and always trying to make friends even with more guarded people like Maki.

Maki: “But… I left that orphanage years ago. Kaede thinks I was the Ultimate Child Caregiver at that orphanage before I came here, but…”

This is of course the assumption Kaede was running under in her FTEs with Maki when she offered to play piano for the kids then. (Not that Kaede hypothetically learning Maki’s real identity would change anything, once she learned Maki’s reasons for it – if anything, it’d only make Kaede even more determined to do something nice for Maki and those kids. Kaede is just as good as Kaito is.)

Kaito: “Hey, there’s no reason you can’t go to the orphanage, right, Maki Roll? So just take Kaede there with you. For the kids living peacefully there you worked so hard for… Let them hear Kaede’s music.”

It’s lovely what Kaito’s doing here. Maki is telling herself that she barely deserves to be going back near that happy life at the orphanage any more now that she’s a horrible murderer, but Kaito’s trying to reassure her that hey, none of that means she can’t at least visit and do something nice for the kids she cares about so much!

…And, okay, so apparently we’re also at a point after Maki has opened up about exactly why she became an assassin, which took several days longer than her initial decision to try and change (and happened after she’d given up protesting the Maki Roll). It’s a little surprising that she reached that point so quickly, because subconsciously trusting Kaito not to betray her talent to everyone is a lot different from actually telling him why she’s an assassin and more or less admitting that she never wanted it. So… I am starting to get the sense that the writers here maaaay not have fully thought through what they were implying with this scene’s opening lines, because those definitely gave the sense that Maki had barely started training if she was reluctant to even admit she was coming.

Unless maybe things happened in a different order in this universe, such that Maki had already begrudgingly told Kaito a few stories about her orphanage during his persistent pestering for her to open up (just like she does with Kaede’s attempts to reach out to her). Which might mean that when she finally threw up her hands and told him she’s a goddamn assassin so leave her alone, it wouldn’t be as much of a leap for her to then admit, with some more questioning from Kaito, that the orphanage stories were still true and are actually quite related to her being an assassin. Maybe.

Kaito: “Oh! I just had a great idea too! How about me and Shuichi tag along? Yeah! Let’s do it! If Shuichi’s with us, I bet Kaede will get all psyched up!”

Aww, Kaito. It is making me very happy imagining this gathering of these four being friends at Maki’s orphanage and making the kids smile. (I bet Kaito is also very good with kids. Especially if they’re aware he’s the Ultimate Astronaut, letting him jump right into his inspiring hero role and tell them all sorts of exciting things about SPACE.)

…Kaito’s comment about how Shuichi’s presence will psyche Kaede up does imply that he might have figured those two have a bit of an unspoken romantic thing for each other. But even if that’s the case, I like to imagine that Kaito wouldn’t make any overt moves to act on this and try and set them up together without one of them directly asking him for help. After all, Kaito’s only working on a hunch here, and if his hunch happens to be wrong, then trying to push his friends into a romance they don’t actually want would be a dick move. (More on a similar concept regarding Kaito’s hunches in another scene next post.)

Maki: “You want to tag along… and bring Shuichi?”

Kaito: “Yeah! If there are any problems, Shuichi and I will help out!”

This is the real reason Kaito invited himself and Shuichi along, though. He can sense that Maki is uneasy doing something that comes so close to her personal life and the truth about herself when she’s including someone who doesn’t know her secret. As such, Kaito’s offering to go along with Shuichi to be there for her and help her feel safer. Since it doesn’t make much sense for there to be logistical problems with Kaede playing the piano to the kids, Kaito is really talking about the possibility of there being problems with Maki’s talent remaining secret. He’s saying that he and Shuichi will be there to cover for her, and, if worst comes to worst and her talent ends up coming out anyway, talk Kaede through the revelation and assure her that Maki still deserves to be treated like a person. (Kaede would definitely understand, of course, but she’d need some explanations, and Maki might not be comfortable giving those on her own.)

Kaito: “Do you not want Kaede and the others to find out about your real talent? But… I know you don’t wanna distance yourself from them like when you first got here, yeah?”

Maki: “…Don’t make assumptions about me.”

He’s right, though, isn’t he, Maki? However, she’s still not quite willing to admit that yet herself, so this is still quite early days, one way or another.

Maki: “But… I guess I’ll give the orphanage a call.”

Kaito: “Alright! Then it’s decided!”

Maki’s going to do it! I really, really get the sense that without Kaito’s reassurance, she wouldn’t have actually acted upon this and would have left Kaede hanging. Kaede might well have been trying to prod Maki about it herself and getting only vague uncertainty since Maki wasn’t truly comfortable doing it. That could be why Kaede asked Kaito to talk to her about it, having noticed that he seems to be closer to Maki than she is.

Maki does have a friendly event with Kaede, too, but it turns out to be more about Chihiro, who’s also in the scene. Maki and Kaede happen across Chihiro crying, and he explains that he found an injured bird that died before he could take it to Gundham to maybe save it.

Maki points out that that’s not Chihiro’s fault and Gundham might not have been able to save it anyway.

Chihiro: “You’re… right… But when I thought about how it probably wanted to fly more, I just started crying…”

Chihiro is projecting his weakness issues onto this poor little injured bird that probably wished it was stronger, but then it didn’t manage to get any stronger and died because it was too weak! Aww, Chihiro.

Maki: “I don’t think you should be crying over that, though… But… I do think it’s fortunate it had someone to cry for it.”

Maki looks distant during that second part, because apparently she’s also somewhat projecting her issues onto this bird. She’s acknowledging that it’s sad when someone suffers alone without anyone knowing and being able to care about it. In a very, very indirect way, she’s saying that her past suffering matters, and that she deserves to have others know and feel sorry for her about what she’s been through. That’s a big deal coming from Maki! (And I’m sure others do know about her suffering; if she’s admitting this, then she’s probably already told Kaito and Shuichi about some of the more awful parts of her assassin training by now.)

Chihiro wants to bury the bird, so both Kaede and Maki suggest they should take it to Gundham, who’d know about how best to do this sort of thing. Maki offers to come along, which Chihiro seems surprised about.

Kaede: “You know, Chihiro… Maki may seem edgy on the outside, but she’s actually very sincere.”

Maki: [pouting] “…You don’t need to come with us, Kaede.”

Kaede: “Why!? I only said the truth!”

Maki is a good caregiver! And also embarrassed at Kaede earnestly telling near-strangers how caring she is. Kaede is good and I hope she and Maki continue to be friends; she’d be able to help Maki out a lot too, even without necessarily having to know her secret.

Maki: “I can’t just leave a crybaby like you alone. That would leave a bad taste in my mouth…”

Maki mentioned during her FTEs that her best friend from the orphanage (who is no longer alive) was something of a crybaby who tried her best to be strong. Is Chihiro reminding Maki of her friend here? Because that’s adorable.

There’s a little more Maki and Chihiro in one of Maki’s third year winter events, not precisely as a follow-up to this but I might as well cover it here anyway. Maki happens across Chihiro in the dining hall, and after some conversation about Chihiro not having the strength to open a jar (but wanting to keep trying rather than having Maki do it for him), Chihiro comments that Maki must be like a reliable big sister to the kids she looks after.

Maki: “I don’t think… I’m that reliable.”

Chihiro: “Huh, why?”

Maki: “I’m not good at taking care of people and I keep secrets. You can’t rely on someone like that.”

Makiiii, you are very good at taking care of people. And you only keep your secret to protect both yourself and other people, not out of any kind of malice or intent to deceive, so that doesn’t inherently make you unreliable. I guess in this universe Kaito never got the chance to give his speech about how having secrets is just human and doesn’t necessarily make someone a bad person.

Chihiro: “You keep secrets?”

Maki: “Nothing. Forget it.”

Chihiro: “Um… Uhhh… Keeping secrets might be bad… But I don’t think it’s strange… Even I… have secrets.”

Turns out this is something Maki and Chihiro have in common! Chihiro isn’t keeping his secret for a malicious reason either, nor does it make him any less worth relying on because of it!

Chihiro: “Maki… is there anyone you talked to about your secret? Or have you not told anyone?”

Maki: “Well… I have told someone.”

The fact that Maki says that she told Kaito and Shuichi her secret makes it all the more likely that the reason they found out really is because she slowly grew to trust them enough to tell them. I don’t think she’d word it that way if they’d been the ones to figure it out first.

Chihiro: “Okay, then you’re fine. It’s a bit of a relief to have someone to talk to.”

Maki: “That’s true… I actually do feel a bit relieved.”

Chihiro is saying this because, in this AU, he’s entrusted Mondo with his secret and Mondo has been training him to get stronger, a lot like Kaito has with Maki! This is a big thing they have in common, and it’s lovely to have that brought up here and see them both agreeing that it’s nice not to have to bear their secret alone.

Honestly, if Chihiro had happened to be in Kaito’s class instead, he’d probably have admired Kaito’s strength and gone to him instead with his secret to ask for help getting stronger, and damn right Kaito would have immediately taken him on as a sidekick and it would have been adorable. But instead, Chihiro has Mondo, which in some ways is essentially the same thing and in some ways is rather different, as we’ll get into later in this post.

Year 1 seasonal events

The first year’s seasonal event is the summer sports festival. There aren’t too many here I want to cover, but I might as well group them together for it anyway.

Show ‘em what you got in the three-legged race! Maybe you should talk to someone before the race. But who?

- My sidekick, of course!

One fun thing about the way the game does these seasonal events is that the narration and the choices are written in the POV of the character you’re playing as. Kaito is so into this and so eager to talk to his sidekick – obviously he wouldn’t pick anyone else! (He did keep saying back in Salmon Team that the sidekick totally wouldn’t pick anyone besides the hero – and that at least is something that goes both ways!)

Kaito: “Alright, bro! It’s finally time to show off the results of all our training! Don’t hesitate! There’s no way we can lose after training through blood, sweat and tears!”

Shuichi: “Blood, sweat and tears sounds like a little too much… But it’s true that this training will give us an edge in the festival. I feel like we can win!”

Of course their training will help! Not just in the sense that it’s made Shuichi physically fitter, but also just because it means Kaito and Shuichi are so very in-sync with each other. The three-legged race is an event that relies less on physical prowess and more just on extremely good teamwork, so it’s perfect for Kaito in general, and especially for him and Shuichi since they’re such close friends. I bet Kaito signed them both up the moment he heard there was going to be a three-legged race, probably before even asking if Shuichi was up for it (because he already knew he would be).

Kaito: “I’ve already decided I’m gonna win at everything today. So as my sidekick, you better support me!”

Kaito is still pretending like the sidekick thing is even remotely about Shuichi making him look good when really it’s literally the opposite of that. Though I suppose events like this give him an excuse to actually make things seem this way for once, so that he can set a super-awesome example for his sidekick to strive for.

Despite acting like he definitely wouldn’t have chosen to talk to anyone but Shuichi, Kaito can also talk to his opponents, one of whom happens to be Fuyuhiko. (Another event implies that Fuyuhiko’s partner in this race is Kazuichi, which means we were so close to seeing Kaito and Kazuichi interact! They do not have a single interaction in this mode and I feel incredibly robbed.)

Kaito: “Oh hey, Fuyuhiko. Never thought I’d be going up against you!”

Kaito starts with this, so it seems he’s aware of what Fuyuhiko’s like and knows that it appears to be unlike him to be at events like this. (This is, after all, a Fuyuhiko before his canon character development in which he warmed up to everyone.)

Fuyuhiko: “What, am I not allowed to be here or something? Did you think I’d just ditch school events?”

Kaito: “Nah, man! I’m glad you’re here! I always thought you were the type that’d show up to this stuff!”

Fuyuhiko: “Geez… don’t act like you’ve got me figured out. I never wanted to do any of this lame shit.”

But Kaito does have Fuyuhiko figured out, doesn’t he! Despite what he said at first, which was based on how Fuyuhiko appears on the surface, Kaito can also see past that and tell that really Fuyuhiko does want to join in with this kind of thing with his schoolmates and is just very prickly about it. And by being so forward with the “Yeah, of course you’d do this!”, he’s also trying to get Fuyuhiko to realise that it’s really not so embarrassing to want this and he should be more open with it. Kaito is so good.

Kaito’s other opponents, and last options to talk to for this event, are Hiro and Hifumi. There’s nothing of substance in that conversation other than pointing out how hilariously ill-equipped they are for a three-legged race. And since Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi are not super in-sync with each other and liable to bicker, Kaito and Shuichi definitely destroyed the competition and showed everyone what an awesome team they are.

Kaito appears in a few other people’s sports festival events, but none of them are that noteworthy. He suggests Gonta should play more aggressively at basketball, protests that his face is not dumb-looking when Mahiru decides to take photos of the three-legged race, and encourages Peko to be enthusiastic in cheering on her friends.

Kaito: “Shout whatever you think will help. That’ll become their strength out there!”

Words becoming other people’s strength is so very luminary of him and it’s lovely to see him passing that idea onto others.

Maki has a brief noteworthy bit during the sports festival, in an event you get as Kyoko, who is one of Maki’s opponents in the girls’ three-legged race.

Maki: “Even though sports festivals are a pain… I don’t intend to hold back. There’s someone in my class who would nag me if I don’t do my best.”

Guess who she’s talking about! Sports festivals may be just for bragging rights and not really Maki’s thing, but Kaito has managed to instil her with at least a little of his philosophy that anything and everything is worth getting passionate about and giving your all.

The sports festival happens in June, while Japanese school years start in April. Which means that, man, Kaito really got to work fast on his prolonged stubborn pestering to get through to Maki if he’s already done so in the space of only a few months. …Or, since she only says “someone in my class” and not “a friend”, maybe this is before Maki has actually told him her secret (though she’d still be reluctant to admit he’s her friend for a little while after that). But even if she’s not his sidekick yet, clearly he’s still been pestering her plenty about doing her best and getting involved in things, because of course he has.

Meanwhile, Shuichi’s events for the sports festival involve him tracking down and apprehending Monokuma, who was causing chaos for the hell of it (yes, Monokuma is here in this non-despair AU as a separate autonomous character, somehow, just go with it). Shuichi’s using his detective skills to help people, just like Kaito was encouraging him to!

Mondo (featuring heroes and sidekicks)

Another of Kaito’s friendly events, and one which is followed up on with a third year seasonal event, is with Mondo. While I am endlessly sad that there are no interactions between Kaito and Kazuichi… perhaps that’s understandable, because Kaito would have full-on sidekicked the hell out of Kazuichi and it would have been a whole thing that this mode wouldn’t have room to do justice. But I do also like Mondo a lot, so maybe Kaito’s interactions with him here are the next best thing.

Mondo: “…”

Kaito: “What’s up? Is something bothering you?”

Given Kaito’s intuition, he’s probably right to assume that something’s bothering Mondo here. After all, Mondo definitely has a lot of issues that he hasn’t remotely sorted out yet.

Kaito: “Alright, then I’ll tell you about the universe! It’ll make your problems look insignificant!”

While this could read as such, Kaito is not saying this in any kind of self-centred sense of “my space stuff is more important than your issues”. Rather, he’s trying to help Mondo realise his problems maybe aren’t quite as big and as scary as he’s making them out to be. “The universe is impossibly vast” isn’t necessarily just something Kaito says to geek out about space. Perhaps it’s also a way he’s found to help put his problems in perspective (you know, when he has them, which is definitely never and why are you asking where his parents are), so he’s trying to do that for Mondo, too.

Mondo: “You talk about space and shit all the time, but… you ain’t even been there yet, right? And even so, you’ve still got such a confident look on your face.”

Kaito: “Of course. I’m Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! It’s already been decided that I’m gonna go to space! Right now is just before that happens!”

This is such a straightforwardly Kaito outlook. It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t been to space yet, he’s definitely going to, so he might as well carry himself like somebody who already has! He’s so good at having confidence in himself and what his future holds.

Mondo: “It pisses me off, but… hearing you say something like that makes it sound possible. Space, huh? To have a dream like that, you gotta have some real balls, man.”

…And maybe that sort of outlook is the kind of thing that could help Mondo. Kaito presents himself the way he does not just to make himself look good, but more importantly to try and inspire others to have that same incredible confidence in themselves.

Kaito: “Right!? I knew you’d get me, Mondo! Space is huge! It’s filled with the unknown! It’s a man’s passion to explore it, right!?”

Mondo: “A man’s passion… Like the wind on ya when you’re riding your motorcycle at top speed? …Is it something like that?”

Kaito: “That’s right! Just like that! It’s somewhere you’ll never reach if you live normally!”

Look at these manly dorks. Even though exploring space and riding a motorbike are two very different things, I like that Kaito agrees they basically both fall under the same principle – it’s about pushing the limits and doing whatever you’re most passionate about, no matter how out-there it is. Kaito’s concept of “a man’s passion” is somewhat different and more specific than just his general concept of manliness, and in his case, it’s all about that passion for SPACE. Still not inherently gendered, I might add.

(Mondo also has his own general concept of manliness, of course, and his is definitely very gendered, although there’s still a decent overlap with Kaito’s in terms of things like integrity and honour.)

Kaito: “Hey, what’s your dream, Mondo? I bet yours is filled with fire and passion!”

Mondo: “Nah, I… ain’t got something like that.”

Mondo does in fact have a dream – he wants to quit his bike gang and become a carpenter when he graduates. But it seems he’s embarrassed to admit that, perhaps because it doesn’t sound “fiery and passionate” enough next to Kaito’s dream of space.

Kaito: “Really? Are you only looking at the past or something? You can’t move forward in life if you’re looking backwards, y’know?”

Some good advice and definitely something Mondo needs to hear! He is very stuck on the past and what happened to his brother, when he should be looking to the future and trying his best to move on from that.

(Also remember that Kaito lost his parents, and while that presumably wasn’t at all his fault like Daiya’s death kind of was Mondo’s fault, Kaito is still very much using his past pain to push him forwards rather than hold him back.)

Mondo: “…”

Kaito: “What? You don’t wanna tell me? Don’t compare your dream to mine, y’know? You’ll get scared by the size of the universe…”

Again, this is not Kaito doing a self-centred “my dream is better than yours”. In fact, it’s the opposite – he’s telling Mondo that he shouldn’t worry about comparing himself to others. Just because most people don’t have dreams as ridiculously huge and over-the-top as Kaito’s dream of space, that doesn’t make their own dream any less important if it’s something they’re equally passionate about! The example Kaito is trying to set as a luminary isn’t about inspiring everyone to literally share his goal of going to space, but rather to just be as passionate about their own goals as Kaito is about his!

Kaito: “Then chase your dream with confidence! Don’t think your dream is too small or you’ll become small yourself!”

Mondo: “Like hell I’d do something like that! I’m gonna be the best in the universe at my dream!”

Kaito: “Heh, that’s what I like to hear!”

Exactly! Being a carpenter may be an ordinary job, but that doesn’t make it small and insignificant, not if it’s what Mondo’s really passionate about! And Kaito succeeded in getting Mondo to feel that way! He’s going to be the best carpenter ever!

Kaito is so good. Mondo has a lot of issues he needs to work out, and while Kaito didn’t really begin to get into any of them, he still managed to encourage Mondo to be more positive about his future. I always say that Kaito presents himself with so much overblown confidence to try and set an example for others to do the same, and here’s an instance of that very tangibly working on someone and helping them out.

As a brief interlude between the two Kaito and Mondo scenes, Mondo can end up serving Shuichi from the yakisoba stand he’s working at for the school festival in a second-year seasonal event.

Mondo: “Thanks for coming, it’s on me!”

Shuichi: “Hm? That’s… Are you sure?”

Mondo: “Hey, don’t worry about it. Any buddy of that spaceman is a buddy of mine.”

Aww, Mondo really does appreciate Kaito’s encouragement! He didn’t need to make a thing of it in front of Shuichi at all – Kaito would never know or care that he hadn’t – but he did anyway. Mondo is a good guy. This kind of suggests that maybe he and Kaito have been hanging out offscreen a bit more than the one scene we saw – evidently not to full-on sidekick levels, but at least a little.

Mondo: “He’s like a younger brother to me. Seriously, it’s on me, man.”

Shuichi: “…So that’s what he is to you, huh? You’re both the same age, though.”

Yes, Mondo, that is definitely what he is to you. While he’s happy to show his appreciation for Kaito, Mondo doesn’t want to tarnish his tough-guy image (nobody must know how weak he really is!!!) enough to admit that really Kaito’s the one who’s helped him. Mondo is totally a born big brother figure, it’s definitely not like he was actually the little brother who adored and looked up to his big bro or anything.

Shuichi is right to be sceptical, not only because Kaito and Mondo are the same age, but also because he knows that Kaito is always the supportive figure and is highly unlikely to end up being treated like a younger brother by anyone.

Shuichi ends up insisting that he repays Mondo’s free yakisoba sometime and that he’ll bring Kaito along. The three of them hanging out would be adorable! It’s a shame we don’t get to see it.

Then, in one of Mondo’s third year winter events, he ends up bumping into Kaito on a nighttime walk. Most of the scene is just Kaito being very enthusiastic about space and confident about getting there one day.

Mondo: “With that kinda confidence, I think you might actually make it up there…”

Kaito: “Well of course! I’m the Ultimate Astronaut, y’know!? Everyone told me it was impossible… But the impossible is possible, all you gotta do is make it so!”

Ayyyy! Of course this is still a thing in this AU. Plus a very rare instance of Kaito referring to himself as the Ultimate Astronaut rather than the Luminary of the Stars, perhaps only because he’s literally talking about being an astronaut and going to space.

Kaito: “You can always change your present and your future, as long as you don’t give up!”

Mondo: “You’re right. I can’t change the past, but I can do something for the future.”

But Kaito also reiterates this advice from before, and it really does seem to have got through to Mondo and helped him move on from his brother’s death. This scene doesn’t add much, but it’s nice to underline what Kaito did for Mondo and show that it really did stick.

Kaito: “Yeah, that’s the spirit! Do your best, even after you graduate, Mondo!”

Mondo: “Don’t talk to me like that, I’m not one of your sidekicks…”

Heh, I like how this implies that they’ve had enough conversations for Kaito to have told Mondo plenty about his sidekicks, allowing Mondo to have figured out roughly what he really means by the word. Mondo isn’t exactly one of Kaito’s sidekicks, no, since Kaito hasn’t quite made it his personal business to help Mondo out in every single way he can… but since Kaito has helped Mondo out a little anyway, it’s not too far off from that.

It’s almost a shame we don’t get more insight into these conversations they had about Kaito’s sidekicks, because the sidekick thing is rather similar to what Mondo has been doing with Chihiro in this AU, in that Mondo’s been guiding Chihiro through physical training to help him get stronger. Mondo wouldn’t call it this, but Chihiro is effectively his sidekick in Kaito’s definition of the word!

So, even though scenes featuring only DR1 characters would otherwise not really belong in this V3 commentary, I am going to talk a little about the Mondo and Chihiro scenes here for the purposes of comparing their relationship to the one Kaito has with his sidekicks. When I say that, I mean specifically Kaito’s relationship with his sidekicks in canon, since in this AU he’s genuinely fine, but in canon he was not as strong as he was pretending to be, a lot like Mondo. And by “sidekicks” I of course mean particularly Shuichi, since he’s the one Kaito secretly looked up to and saw as already greater than himself, much like Mondo does with Chihiro. See? Similarities! But there are quite a few differences, too.

Mondo and Chihiro have two scenes together, the first a regular friendly event and the second as one of Mondo’s third year seasonal events. The first scene presumably happens not especially long after Chihiro has begun training, because it features him struggling to do even half the push-ups expected of him, while Mondo reassures him that he’s just got to keep working at it. The second scene has Chihiro remark that the exercise makes him feel refreshed, which Mondo points out is great progress when it used to make him feel sore all the time. Chihiro agrees that maybe he really has got at least a little stronger over the past three years, to the point that he’s starting to feel brave enough to tell everyone the truth about himself before they graduate.

Chihiro: “Even though I can never be as strong as you, I’ve been doing my best… I feel like… I can tell everyone. And it’s all thanks to you, Mondo.”

Mondo: “Hey, come on. I didn’t do anything special.”

Look at how Chihiro looks up Mondo as the perfect ideal of strength that he’ll never quite be able to reach and has no idea that Mondo has any kind of weakness. That sure is familiar.

Similarly familiar is the way Mondo feels like he barely did anything to help (because it was really all Chihiro’s own strength and hard work, right?). And yet, simply having Mondo there both as an example to strive for and as a friend so that he wasn’t doing this alone made a huge difference from Chihiro’s point of view. It only takes a nudge, but that nudge is vital! You did help him, Mondo!

Mondo: “Besides, from the very beginning, you…”

Chihiro: “Huh?”

Mondo: “…Nah, nothing.”

Obviously, Mondo was about to say that he feels Chihiro has always been strong – stronger than him – but then backed out of admitting it. This is reminiscent of the part in chapter 3’s first training session in which Kaito almost admitted that Shuichi wasn’t weak like Maki was, but then caught himself and changed the subject. In Kaito’s case, though, I think he was only just starting to realise that he saw Shuichi this way and wouldn’t have known how to properly articulate it even if he’d actually tried to (because wouldn’t that mean that Shuichi was never really his sidekick and didn’t really need him at all? and NOPE nope abort let’s just not even think about that). But here with Mondo, I get the sense that he’s already been very consciously aware the whole time that Chihiro is much stronger than him and is simply unwilling to admit it to anyone but himself.

Both our pairs of training buddies have a delightful thing going on where they each look up to their friend for having a kind of strength that they lack and assume that the other is stronger than them because of it. In Kaito and Shuichi’s case, they’re both types of emotional strength: Shuichi’s ability to focus on finding the truth no matter how much it hurts, and Kaito’s ability to keep being positive and upbeat no matter how bad things get. Ultimately, they’re still basically both as strong as each other, just in different ways. But with Mondo and Chihiro, Mondo’s strength is entirely physical, while Chihiro’s strength is entirely emotional, so they’re not really comparable at all. Which means that when it comes to the more meaningful kind of strength, the emotional kind, Chihiro is just stronger than Mondo.

The problem is that Chihiro doesn’t seem to realise that emotional strength is equally if not more important than physical strength. Yet Mondo clearly does, since he knows Chihiro is stronger than him – so if only he’d tell Chihiro that! That’d have helped Chihiro realise what he really needed to be striving for, and that getting physically stronger, even if it’d help him feel more confident in himself, was not really the main point. (If Chihiro had been Kaito’s sidekick, Kaito would absolutely have made that point clear and let Chihiro know that simply by trying to change he’s already grown stronger than he was before.)

Mondo wouldn’t even have needed to mention his own emotional weakness while hypothetically telling Chihiro that emotional strength is more important, so he shouldn’t have had an inherent reason not to do so. Perhaps the issue could be that Mondo was afraid that talking to Chihiro about emotional strength would lead Chihiro to probe about Mondo’s emotional strength too and realise the truth about him.

It could also just be that Mondo wasn’t at all used to this whole having-a-“sidekick” thing. Therefore he felt that the only way he could really help was by helping Chihiro with the thing he is good at, aka physical strength, and he didn’t feel like he was qualified to talk about emotional strength at all. …Essentially what I’m trying to say here is that maybe Mondo didn’t want to talk through Chihiro’s emotional weaknesses while still refusing to admit to his own because he didn’t want to be a giant hypocrite. That’s very possible. After all, he doesn’t have Kaito’s double-standard of “but I’m the hero so it’s different for me because they need me to be strong already” that caused Kaito to not even realise his hypocrisy.

See, Mondo is hiding his weakness here simply out of weakness, that same kind of cowardice that Kaito pointed out in Maki before he convinced her to face her issues and try and change. Mondo’s just too scared to bring his weakness out into the open and have everyone know that he’s not the tough guy he claims to be and that his brother’s death was his fault.

Kaito also didn’t want to admit to his weakness out of fear of shattering the image others have of him, but that was for other people’s sake and not his own, because he was convinced that he wouldn’t be able to support Shuichi or Maki or the others any more if they knew the truth. Mondo also evidently doesn’t want Chihiro to know that he’s weak, but I feel like that’s more for his own sake, because Chihiro looking up to him so much lets him feel strong and helps him continue to hide from the weakness that he’s too scared to admit to. He seems relatively willing to admit to himself that really Chihiro would be fine without him, so it’s not that Mondo thinks revealing his weakness would cause Chihiro any problems.

Although, there is some level of selflessness in Mondo hiding his weakness – not in terms of Chihiro, but in terms of the members of his gang. They all look up to Mondo as their awesome leader who bested his big bro in a bike race (even if that ended tragically, that was Daiya’s fault for getting reckless because he was about to lose, wasn’t it?). So Mondo’s afraid that if they learn the truth and how weak he really is, the whole gang will fall apart. I’d like to believe that’s not actually the case and that his gang members are good enough bros that they’d understand and be supportive of him and still look up to him anyway even if they knew. But it’s hard to be sure of that without knowing much about what they’re like, so it’s possible that Mondo actually does have a more legitimate reason to be afraid of this than Kaito ever did.

Once Mondo and Chihiro are done training in their winter scene and Chihiro has left, Mondo has one last line to himself…

Mondo: “I wonder… if I can change too. I don’t know if I’ll ever be as strong as you, Chihiro.”

Just admitting to that desire to change is the first step, Mondo! And with that alone, in some ways, Mondo has immediately got further than Kaito ever did in canon.

Admitting it to Chihiro would be a bigger help, though. After all, even Chihiro himself needed someone else to share his problems with in order to be able to change in the way that Mondo is admiring so much. It’s a shame that Mondo can’t even use that as inspiration to find the courage to do that himself, in order to start working on his weaknesses like he so clearly wants to do. You’d only need to tell one person to begin with, Mondo! And Chihiro would keep looking up to you for your physical strength anyway, because that’s a separate thing that you still undeniably have!

(Which was totally a different thing for Kaito, since Shuichi looked up to him for his emotional strength, so surely Kaito admitting that he’s emotionally weak would have ruined that entirely! It couldn’t possibly be that he’s still emotionally strong in some ways even if he’s weak in others and Shuichi would still have every reason to admire him – if he’s weak at all then that instantly means he’s a failure as a hero, right?)

If only Chihiro had ever learned about Mondo’s weakness one way or another, he would definitely have been able to help. Even if he wouldn’t have exactly known how to, he’s an absolute sweetheart who’d have done his best anyway to try and reassure and encourage Mondo that if even Chihiro can work to get stronger and admit his secret to everyone, surely Mondo can too!

It does seem like Mondo made some decent progress over his time at Hope’s Peak, based on this winter scene with Kaito and another one with Taka in which he openly talks about his plans to quit the gang and become a carpenter (Taka is adorably proud that he wants to put in the effort and contribute to society). That’s a little bit thanks to Kaito, but also a lot thanks to simply having friends like Chihiro and Taka and having had time to reflect on things. But if only he’d been brave enough to confess his weakness and what happened to his brother to at least just Chihiro, they could have talked about it more and Mondo could have made a lot more progress on the real root of his issues. Alas.

Welcome Home pt 4 (Peter Parker x Reader)

Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader

Summary: It’s time for Peter to learn his place in the contents of Tony Stark’s will.

Word Count: 1757

A/N: obviously because I wrote this before far from home was released this is super duper inaccurate, but changing it would have introduced hella plot I didn’t wanna have here. it felt super awkward to write parts of this though. I just adore the design of the ps4 suit and have no concept of what would be a “reasonable” amount of money for Tony to leave bc this bitch aint fuckin rich and he’s thrown around cash like nobody’s business so?? welp

INTRO PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5 PART 6 EPILOGUE

With Peter seated between you and May on the couch, one of his hands held by each of you, he's about as prepared for the proceedings as he's capable of being. Unfortunately, that isn't saying that much. Pepper and Happy are seated in the armchairs to either side of the couch. A large briefcase has been set on the coffee table in front of Happy. Resting on top of it is another, thinner case of some sort.

Pepper pulls two envelopes and one small box from her purse. She removes the contents of one envelope to read aloud. The other, she hands to you. When you pass it to Peter, he takes it with the hand that May had been holding. He shakes as he clutches it, staring at the scratchy writing. You squeeze his hand.

"To Peter B. Parker," Pepper begins, sounding practiced, but sad, "I wish to leave the data surrounding the engineering of the Spider-Man suits and equipment that I have manufactured, including those regarding the artificial intelligence program, Karen."

Happy leans forward to give Peter the thin case. May accepts it for him when Peter does not move to let go of the letter in his hand. She opens it gently, and reveals a thin sheet of what appears to be glass. When she lifts it, it lights up and projects a hologram of the Stark logo. From the device, a voice is emitted. "Hello, Peter," it greets, "Are you feeling any better today? How did you sleep last night?"

"Hey, Karen," he says, glancing awkwardly around, "I slept fine. Can we talk later?"

"Sure. Goodbye, Peter," it responds, and powers down.

May puts the tablet back into the case and shuts it. Pepper takes that as her cue to continue. Before she resumes reading, she hands you the box that had been sitting in her lap. It reminds you of the boxes jewelry is sold in, but when you lift the lid it doesn't contain anything of the sort. Instead, it houses three different identification cards. One bears the logo of the Avengers and one the Stark Industries logo, both with a dorky image of Peter framed below his name in the corner. The third was entirely blank, aside from the scanning code.

"So that he may make use of this data, I will be ensuring that Peter will, in the future, be granted full access to any and all facilities of mine. He is permitted to utilize whatever resources that we are capable of providing. Pepper has agreed, that, in the event of my passing, she will personally attend to this to ensure that this promise is kept."

Peter had been staring wide eyed at the three cards in your hand. The first two are pretty clearly defined. Even so, you turn them over, examining them further. Pepper admits that while the Avengers facility isn't exactly usable currently, Peter will be added to the security system as soon as it is rebuilt.

You hold up the blank card. "Ma'am?" You ask, "Which facility is this one for, exactly?"

Pepper gives a smile that expresses quite a bit of endearment. Something tells you that it's directed toward Tony, wherever he is. "That card is registered to allow access to Tony's setup in our home," she explains, "His most recent stuff is there. Please, Peter, stop by anytime you'd like. We'll even send you a ride if you need one. Tony would be glad to know you're around, and I know Morgan would be thrilled to see you again."

You had been staring at the card as you attempted to process her words, finally understanding just how close Peter apparently had been with the famous Tony Stark. Your attention is pulled back to Peter when he raises his arm to rub at his eyes. When he pulls it away from his face, his eyes are noticeably redder. He takes in a big, shaky inhale. "Thank you, Mrs. Stark. I promise I'll come visit."

You squeeze his hand again. He gives you a quick glance and squeezes back. Before Pepper continues, you gather the cards back into the box and shut the lid. Happy reaches out to the big briefcase and clicks it open.

"Peter is also to receive that which is already intended to be the owner of: every piece of Spider-Man tech that I have manufactured," Pepper reads, "This includes, in total, fifteen variations of the Spider-Man suit, including both the first one I ever gifted to him, and the Iron Spider suit."

As she finishes her sentence, Happy lifts the lid of the briefcase and spins it around so that Peter can view it. A mechanism inside lifts its contents upward. The mask is not too dissimilar from that of the original Spider-Man mask, but smack dab in the center of the chest is a large, bright white spider decal. May ooh's at the sight of it. It's simpler than the Iron Spider suit, clearly, and you can't help but wonder why, out of thirteen suits, this is the one presented to Peter so specially.

"The others are currently in storage at the Stark Industries facility. Whenever you'd like, you can come check them out and take them home if you'd like. Tony wanted this one to be brought to you first, though. I'm sure the letter will explain why."

Happy points proudly to the mask. "I helped with this one, you know," he says, grinning, "I suggested he put the optional full-body cooling system in there since you were complaining about the heat that one July. He called it the White Spider. Nice, right?"

Peter slowly nods in response, but hasn't taken his eyes off the suit. For a moment it appears that he's gotten overwhelmed. He takes one more slow breath and turns back to Pepper. "Thank you very much for coming," he says, voice a bit shaky, "I never expected anything, let alone this much. Never. Thank you."

She lets out a chuckle, pushing her hair behind her ears as if preparing herself. "Actually," she admits, sounding apologetic, "there's two more things. Tony said you'd probably try to reject one of them. He also said that you are in no way permitted to reject it. Sorry in advance."

"What did he do?" Peter questions, suddenly sounding not too far from exasperated.

Pepper smiles. "In the event of the college MIT being able to reopen-"

Peter sighs, as if he's expected it.

"-Tony has written you a rather insistent letter of recommendation for future use. Though to be honest, it never really seemed like he thought you'd even need one, so why he did that I have no idea."

"Might have had to do with, 'Mr. Stark, I don't need to go to college, I want to be an Avenger!', which he thought was incredibly dumb and also hilarious," Peter suggests, seemingly unable to hold back a small smile.

You can't help but let out a laugh, too. It's not hard to remember that particular period of complete disinterest in school.

"Please go to college," says Aunt May, not without good humor.

Peter rolls his eyes good-naturedly. "I was fifteen, Aunt May, don't worry. Anyway, a recommendation to MIT isn't that bad. Especially considering everything else he's left. What did he think I'd be rejecting?"

Pepper folds up her sheet of paper. She places it back into the envelope it came from as she says, "Well," she says, "that would be the trust fund that he instructed me to create under your name."

"The what?" Peter exclaims.

His hand suddenly tightens around yours, causing you to flinch in pain. He notices it. "Oh, jesus, I'm sorry, I- the trust fund?"

"Yes," she responds, sounding amused, "I was under strict instructions to place five million dollars in a fund that you would be permitted to access when you turn twenty-one. Which I did. As of this morning, the money has been successfully transferred."

Peter stutters for a solid fifteen seconds before he is able to speak. You're similarly dumbfounded by the announcement. "I can't just take that, that's more than I'm ever gonna earn in my whole lifetime, are you kidding me, holy shit-"

Aunt May has burst into tears. You really don't blame her. "Are you sure?" She asks, flapping her hands out in front of her in some sort of panic.

Happy grabs her hand, as if to try to calm her. She repeats her question, and he nods, laughing, "This is Tony Stark we're talking about. He was always willing to dole out money like that; probably didn't even think twice about it."

"He can't just give me five million dollars," Peter continues, "That's insane, I can't-"

"You're right," Pepper chimes in, cheerfully, "He can't. But I sure as hell can, and am more than happy to do it. It's already in the fund. It's yours. That's all there is to it."

May jumps from her seat and hops around the table to throw her arms around Pepper. She can't seem to form a coherent sentence in order to thank her for what her nephew has been given, but the sentiment is clearly felt.

Peter, still next to you, has begun to cry quietly. Laughing in disbelief at the situation, you adjust to wrap your arms around him. He fits his face into the juncture between your neck and shoulder and continues to break down. You're not sure if it's due to the collection of representations of just how much Tony cared about him, or the fact that after growing up dumpster diving for electronics and feeling guilty every time he lost a backpack, he suddenly had money to his name. It very well might be both.

"I can't believe this," he says into your shoulder, words broken up, "When did he do all this?"

Pepper is still very much tangled up with Aunt May, so Happy answers. "Well, according to Pep, he sat down alone and sorted out his prospects right after they had determined that he was going to try to reverse the Snap."

"He didn't even know if he was going to be able to bring Peter back and he still set this all up?" You question, shocked, still holding Peter against you.

"Sweetheart, Tony didn't even want to try to reverse the Snap until he decided he needed to get Peter back. I don't think he even stopped to consider the possibility that Peter wouldn't be around to receive all this."

Gaps Between Worlds || Pokeballs

The world of Pokemon is a vast and endless… wasteland. The world of Pokemon is haunted, but not scary haunted, more like “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?”. It has the flavor of a nice medium spice curry. Before the game was released, for a year, a whole generation was treated to the cartoon before school started. I was in middle school when the craze took to the little kiddy kindling, and it became a wildfire. Today, I am almost 34, and in the 20+ years, full grown-ass adults have been dissecting a universe built for kids by some other adults who had to balance marketability with art. If you mix all of those things together, you get a wild storm of interesting ideas. Some of these ideas are hidden by clever creators, others are unintended realizations brought on by mixing the real world, with all of its consequences, and this newly fresh, mostern-ridden world. Hamburgers exist, cow pokemon exist, all of our friends are pokemon, all animals are pokemon, hamburgers exist. Hamburgers exist. But the concept that really caught me for as long as I can remember was “What is it like inside a Pokeball?”

In my little child-brain, now fully formed as a semi alcohol dependent adult brain, I remember two major pokeball theories, both of which are mainstays in the community. Realistically, in the sphere of science fiction, there really are only two theories that bubble to the top. First, the Stasis Theory. Pokemon inside their Pokeballs experience nothing. They become pure light energy, and simply bounce around as particles, never aging, never thinking, never living. Second, we have the Paradise Theory. Inside their Pokeballs, they are hooked up like the matrix, and they live in their ideal environments based on their needs, either constructed by their own mind or programmed and based on their poke-type. Ghost types would live in creepy mansions and fire types live near volcanoes, but it would be created by programming in the ball, or based on the subconscious of the Pokemon. Both of these have very clear upsides, but they also have equally clear downsides, which is exactly what we are going to explore!

Before we get to the theories, a few things. My knowledge with the Pokemon series basically ends after the 2nd generation. Without straying too far from the subject, I stopped being interested in the series because it became more important to the creators to add more monsters instead of diving deeper into the lore of the world or the existing creatures themselves, with a few exceptions. Please take that into account going forward. I actually have casually watched a few of the newer episodes and movies and it seems like nothing has changed really, so I suspect I am not as far behind as I think. Also, before we get to the theories, both rely on one major item. The Pokeball! It’s clearly a smart device. Once it hits its target, it appears to know whether the item is a Pokemon or not. It only opens up if it hits a Pokemon. Hitting a human or a rock or anything else, and it stays as a ball. Once the ball is open, the Pokemon transforms into light, and during the show when the angle is right, you can see inside the ball is a series of mirrors along the walls. The Pokeball itself doesn’t seem to have an origin story that I am aware of, but it clearly had tons of development time and money, the greatest minds on our planet would kill for this tech, so one can only imagine the horrors that occurred after this technology was created, but that is for another post.

First, the Stasis Theory. The Pokeball is clearly high-tech, we put that forward, but one thing to think about is that the Pokemon themselves appear to be turned into light. I like to imagine this method as being similar to teleportation. In Star Trek and myriads of other sci-fi, teleportation is considered instantaneous. The moment we are broken down and rebuilt at our location feels instantaneous to us. That is essentially the same experience for the Pokemon. It bounces around as light, and feeling or sensing nothing. Now, the upside of this is that they don’t have to expend energy moving from place to place, consuming their trainers resources, or weather the elements. Now, all of these are more of upsides for the trainer than the Pokemon, unless you’re like Psyduck, and you suffer headaches constantly, this technology is somewhat bleak. And this is how we bleed into the downsides.

The one that always sticks out to me is that, unless you have a benevolent trainer, committing to being a Poke-partner means you might end up waking up in battle after battle. A soldier of fortune. You technically need to be fed as well, but if you are in stasis, you only need to be fed every 8 hours or so of actual time spent outside the Pokeball. A frugal trainer would pay attention to this, monitoring how much time each Poke-pal spent outside of their Pokeball. They technically don’t even need to eat to regain their strength. Specifically, they don’t even need to leave their Pokeball to get healed at a Pokecenter. Battle after battle, they might not eat for days, months, or years if they are used sparingly. Pokeballs can even be digitized. Think about all those Poke-bros you leave in your computer storage. Beyond that, you can alter their memory so that they are reassigned a new master they instantly obey, granted they are “experienced” enough. I feel like I could go on forever, but I want to talk about my favorite downside in this vein. Allow me to extend this concept a bit, maybe to a dark conclusion.

You are on a ferry ship between islands, alone, and anonymous. No one notices you. It’s the last voyage of the night, foggy, dark, and a bit chilly, the deck covered in a light, icy snow. Leaning on the rails, you lose your balance because your sea legs aren’t developed yet. You are also 12, because it's Pokemon. Your body slips into the icy drink without a sound. The shock of the cold causes you to pass out almost instantly and you drown. Along your belt, 8 Pokemon nestled in their Pokeballs. One hundred years pass. It’s summer time and a lone diver exploring the warm waters finds the belt of a young man with a series of Pokeballs attached. On shore, you open each ball, each time a Pokemon emerges, healthy, clear eyed, but confused. Where is their master? Pokemon are smart, so after some pantomime and simple explanation between the humans and Pokemon, you all realize that it's been a 100 years, and its possible the owner is dead. After reporting it to the authorities, they are able to identify the boy using a 100 year old new story. While Pokemon are strong enough to fight one another, the PTSD suffered from the loss of their trainer and the time that elapsed destroys them.

When you think about it, the upside of this bleak story is huge for the Pokemon. You can live, preserved forever inside the Pokeball. Now, to argue with myself a bit, Pokemon do seem to be aware inside their Pokeball. They seem to be able to understand their surroundings and can even hear conversations they aren’t technically present for. There are many instances of the Pokemon leaving their Pokeball of their own volition, so it’s likely this story wouldn’t have happened. One of the trainer’s ‘mon would have popped out of its super prison to help its trainer. And while this doesn’t completely refute the stasis theory, it gives the Pokemon way more cognitive power and agency inside their prison orb than I initially implied.

This is where our next theory comes into play, the Paradise Theory. As a kid, I often thought this was the less likely, but much more widely supported idea. There are two branches to this theory, one in which the Pokemon inside the ball is miniaturized and the ball works as a kind of Star Trek holodeck, and the other is the Pokemon is in a state of semi-sleep, hooked into a virtual representation of the world that best suits them. In either case, this would seem to be the ideal state of being for them. Their world is shaped to their liking, so if you are a Snorlax and you need a fat snack and soft sack to sleep on, the Pokeball manifests it. I always imagined in either case, because of their apparent awareness of the outside world, that of the two theories, the miniaturized one was at play. They remain fully conscious, and up in the sky or somewhere in their spherical prison there would be this floating screen of what is going on outside… like an omniscient camera, equipped with a mic. Again, this was kind of my childlike wonder at play, not really concerning myself with the intricacies of how this would actually work, but it also doesn’t seem like the creators gave it much thought either. Pokeball tech is the major gap in this world.

As for the downsides of this method, the only real standout is their consciousness. In the Stasis Theory, the moment they enter the ball is also the moment they leave. In this version, they remain aware of the time and the outside. So if they haven’t eaten in two days or been outside to hit the Poke-toilet, they can really feel it. Still, in this version, it does appear as though they can leave at will. Also, in the show, it often shows that they appear to get kibble at every meal that the humans eat, which brings up its own set of questions, but that’s for another time. In the drowned trainer scenario, or maybe one who is stuck under an avalanche, imagine you are a Pokemon not equipped to deal with the terrain, like a charizard in water, you are not only aware of how screwed you are, but you have to choose to either end your life by leaving the Pokeball or wait until you starve to death. I suppose it ultimately depends on how smart and perceptive a Pokemon breed actually is that really determines the merits and downsides of this theory. Take a moment to imagine a really social Pokemon, like a Pidgey or Pikachu. Does the Pokeball conjure fake friends for you? Are the Pokeballs interconnected, so that you can mind meld with your trainer’s other captives? Do certain Pokemon end up becoming attached to the fake friends inside the ball rather than worry about the outside world? Can a Pokeball become addictive?

To spare my little psyche the pain of having to empathize with Pokemon I left in their balls for too long, or maybe stored away somewhere so that I can “catch ‘em all”, I chose to imagine the Stasis Theory when I played the game. The one thing this game really dodged was imparting the idea of the empathy and responsibility of actually raising 150+ living, thinking creatures. I think this might also just align with the nature of young humans, but still, the creators really shirked there responsibility on this aspect. The game’s and animation’s inhabitants espouse constantly their belief in Poke-rights, but at the same time ignore the subject of pitting them against each other as a negative. Most Pokemon are intellectually somewhere between cat and monkey. Other’s appear to have just as much going on as humans. While Ash never imagines catching every Pokemon, the game sets you on this collectible path. Using my own childhood as an example, human children don’t appear to naturally think out the various real world equivalents to their in-game mantras. They see the Pokemon as theirs to do with as they please. Give a stupid name. Trade with other kids. Collectable bits of data. This was not my cup of tea as a kid. I much preferred the animated universe of Pokemon to the game for this very reason. Sure you can play it anyway you want, which I often did, never expanding my roster beyond 8 at a certain point, but this was also a very impractical way to play, which hurt my more logical side. Just to live with myself, I created a method of play that worked for me. Somewhere between the Stasis Theory and Paradise Theory. I just told myself my Poke-pals loved their home and me. So… I caught. Them. ALL. But in doing so, did I condemn my allies to flashes of life between battling and dinner? Did I render them in a paradise of their own making? Are these creatures really so docile after being beaten by another of their ilk so that I can force them to be my friend? Best not to dwell on it. Pika-pika.

How To Build Landing Page Of Website In 2020 | Darshan Sonar Digital

What is the landing page:

In the world of digital marketing, a landing page is a web page. A landing page is created with a specific purpose of marketing or advertising campaign. It’s the page where a visitor “lands” next they click on a link in like Bing, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and email, or ads from Google, or similar places on the web. Web pages, typically have various intentions and promote exploration, landing pages are composed with a single focus or goal, identified as a call to action (CTA). It’s this focus that builds landing pages the most excellent option for growing the conversion rates of your marketing campaigns and reducing your cost of getting a lead or sale. So, below I am explaining how to build the landing page of the website.

Why you required a landing page:

A landing page excludes diversions by removing navigation, facing links, and other options. So you catch your visitant particular concentration. It grants you excellent authority to guide them and help them to discover what they are watching. And this can break out to affect your search engine rankings also. Even if the audience has arrived on your page and knows specifically what they are watching for they desire to take the quickest action likely to get results. This was accurately what Time Doctor, a fertility software tool required to experiment on their own landing page. They formed a long, detailed page which embraced all the major traits of their program. The smaller variant switched more customers than the longer one. But, it’s worth seeing that not all short copy pages will better their longer analogs.

How you can Design Your Landing Page:

In terms of digital marketing, it is not designed means to do creativity, fill the colors, stick the attractive pictures. Rather as a digital marketer to make a landing page you have to move forward than all of this stuff. In the world of digital marketing, it means your page should be functional, direction-oriented, and impressive.

Structure of landing page:Landing Page Structure:

The number of landing pages follows a very related structure because it’s been verified to work. You can inspire your creativity through branded ingredients and pictures but stick to a landing page setup that people are used to staring.

A good landing page should have these five elements:

The headline: It seizes the visitant’s

Relevant Image: It is related to your viewers

Lead Form: It remains above the fold to catch visitants’ data

CTA: It is action-oriented and compelling

Copy/Description: It notifies and attracts your visitant to fill your form.

you can also use the social media button. This is just a simple point. You require to grasp your audience, where they are appearing from and where they are in their customer’s journey to grasp how much you require to insert. The law of thumb is to accumulate as much knowledge as you require to get people to transform.

Make sure the following terms to create a good landing page:Set your goals:

Firstly, you have to know that for what your audience is coming to your website. Secondly, What are they going to buy? ask them to Fill out a form. ask sign up for a newsletter? Download an ebook? The initial action for any policy is preparing purposes.

An attractive headline:

The headline is the key point to make your page successful. It depends on your concentration, consideration, and knowledge of the thing which you are going to present. Make it clear to your visitors what are you offering what you are not offering. The headline should grasp the visitors’ consideration. The headline should be expressible to the visitant about the product or service. It shouldn’t be lengthy always try to keep it short about in ten to fifteen words.

Know your audience:

Know your audience’s wishes, desires, and ambitions. As stupid as that seems, as much as you know your audience, it will be stronger you can provide to their demands and poverty. Except you understand who your model clients are, it will be extremely challenging to compose an effective representation in the view of the client.

From which source they are coming:

Suppose growing your information depending on from which source your users are coming? separate information might be suitable for users who visited your landing page. They can arrive from Google, from Instagram, Facebook or other social media platforms. You want a ready landing page for every ad organization, but that’s an attractive strong service, therefore begin where you can. Try starting with one form of the landing page by the campaign, and supplement from there for unique ad organizations when resources permit.

WHAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ABOUT DEFENSE

Since it is a standard, I won't get in trouble for appearing to be writing about things I don't understand. Counterargument might prove something. When you have a spare hour, and days later you're still working on it. When you get an unexpected result like this, it could either be a bug or a new discovery. Python example, where we are in effect simulating the code that a compiler would generate to implement a lexical variable.1 And it turned out the idea was on the right track. Distraction is fatal to startups. So I want to say explicitly that I am not surprised to hear it. The big disadvantage of the new system is that it makes your life a lot simpler. The core of ITA's application is a 200,000 line Common Lisp program that searches many orders of magnitude more possibilities than their competitors, who apparently are still using mainframe-era programming techniques. If you're benevolent, people will rally around you: investors, customers, other companies, and the essay will still survive. That, it turned out to be the real experiment this summer.

But it's important to realize that more articulate name-calling and a carefully reasoned refutation, but I think it would help to put names on the intermediate stages. If you just keep trying, you'll find it.2 How much of a problem.3 One reason programmers dislike meetings so much is that they're on a different type of schedule from other people. An area without railroads or power was a rich potential market. Business people in Silicon Valley and the whole world, for that matter have speculative meetings. If you asked the pointy-haired boss had to think of another. It's the sort of determination implied by phrases like don't give up on the startup, you are in big trouble. So you can test equality by comparing a pointer, instead of comparing each character.

It would cost something to run, you become very hard to kill. We know from Google and Yahoo that grad students can start successful startups.4 I'm generating by hand the expansions of some macro that I need to write.5 Both took years to succeed. I had to write down everything I remember from it, I doubt it would amount to much more than a page.6 So the more powerful the language, the shorter the program not simply in characters, of course, but in effect I had two workdays each day, you've basically built yourself a giant tamagotchi.7 Ideas 1-5 are now widespread. If that were true, he would be right on target.8 But in addition there's sometimes a cascading effect.9

So when I say it would take ITA's imaginary competitor five years to duplicate something ITA could write in Lisp in three months, I mean five years if nothing goes wrong. There are times when this format is what a writer wants. Unless the opposing argument actually depends on such things, the only purpose of correcting them is to discredit one's opponent.10 In Robert's defense, he was skeptical about Artix. Plunging into an idea is a good thing. This essay developed out of conversations I've had with several other programmers about why Java smelled suspicious. It has too many cooks.11 It meant one could expect future high paying jobs. They have a literal representation, can be stored in variables, can be passed as arguments, and so on. Though better than attacking the author, this is how most compression algorithms work. Running code at read-time lets users reprogram Lisp's syntax; running code at compile-time is the basis of Lisp's use as an extension language in programs like Emacs; and reading at runtime enables programs to communicate using s-expressions, an idea recently reinvented as XML.

The Defense Department is encouraging developers to use Java. Sometimes merely seeing the opposing case, with little or no supporting evidence. Another way of saying that is that half of you are going to get rich and the other founders causes you to get more done than you would otherwise, because every dinner is a mini Demo Day. This is the kind of possibility that the pointy-haired boss doesn't mind if his company gets their ass kicked, so long as no one can prove it's his fault. I called business stuff. I had to write down everything I remember from it, but at every point have working code—or the style of painting where you begin with a complete but very blurry sketch done in an hour, then spend a week cranking up the resolution.12 Can you do more of that?13 Cheap Intel processors, of the same type used in desktop machines, are now more than fast enough for servers.14 If you find yourself saying a sentence that ends with but we're going to keep working on it can't be preceded by but.

That, I think is a red herring. Exactly.15 What good is it? What I mean is that Lisp was first discovered by John McCarthy in 1958, and popular programming languages are pretty much equivalent. Our case is an unusual one. By using the classic device for simulating the manager's schedule. Such labels may help writers too.16 He was hosting thousands of people's blogs. When we haven't heard from, or about, a startup for a couple months, that's a bad sign.

Most intellectual dishonesty is unintentional. We were after the C programmers. I want to say explicitly that I am not a particularly good person. The number one thing not to do is expand it. Let them write lists of n things is so relaxing. You get away with it till the underlying conditions change, and then at each point a day, a week, a month I thought I'd already put in so much time that it was the first thing we thought of. Whereas now the phrase already read seems almost ill-formed. But there were moments when he was optimistic.17 An essay can go anywhere the writer wants. The current record holder for flexibility may be Daniel Gross of Greplin.

It's even the answer to questions that seem unrelated, like how to convince investors to give you bigger abstractions—bigger bricks, as it were, so you need explicit return statements to return values: function foo n return function i return n i To be fair, Perl also retains this distinction, but deals with it in typical Perl fashion by letting you omit returns. If you move there, the peer pressure that made you work harder all summer will continue to operate.18 The most likely scenario is 1 that no government will successfully establish a startup hub, and 2 that the spread of the Industrial Revolution, despite the fact that communication is so much faster now. But when I think back to the beginning, they were in.19 The web is turning writing into a conversation. Historically, languages designed for large organizations PL/I, Pascal, Ada, Visual Basic, the IBM AS400, VRML, ISO 9000, the SET protocol, VMS, Novell Netware, and CORBA, among others. I'm not saying that you won't get a lot of external evidence that benevolence works.20 The web is turning writing into a conversation. At each point a day, a week, a month I thought I'd already put in so much time that it was the first programming language to support it. They let you do what you want and get out of the PhD program in physics at Berkeley to do this.21 I'm not kidding.

Notes

If the next stage tend to have this second self keep a journal. And I'm sure for every startup founder or investor I saw that I didn't. It doesn't happen often. Though they were supposed to be employees, or that an idea where the recipe: someone guessed that there were already lots of potential winners, which make investments rather than insufficient effort to see it in the computer world, but this could be fixed within a few old professors in Palo Alto, but historical abuses are easier for some reason insists that you were able to hire a real reason out of a liberal education than past generations have.

Stone, op.

And when a wolf appears, is rated at-1. Now to people he knew. Scribes in ancient philosophy may be common in the past, and stir.

There are many senses of the techniques for stopping spam. In practice their usefulness is greatly enhanced by other people. Actually Emerson never mentioned mousetraps specifically.

It may indeed be a predictor of low salaries as the first couple months we can't figure out what the editors will have to recognize them when you had to work like casual conversation.

There is of course it was the fall of 2008 the terms they were friendlier to developers than Apple is now very slow, but which didn't taste very good job. Do College English Departments Come From? We could have used another algorithm and everything I say is being put through an internal process in their closets. Quite often at YC I find myself asking founders Would you use the name Homer, to drive the old version, I should degenerate from Subject foo not to have lunch at the command of the founders of Google to do due diligence for VCs if the statistics they consider are useful, how could I get attacked a lot of time on schleps, and owns significant equity in it.

Users dislike their new operating system so much on luck. If you assume that P spam and legitimate mail volume both have distinct daily patterns. After Greylock booted founder Philip Greenspun out of the best hackers work on Wall Street were in 2000, because universities are where a laptop would be critical to.

If you're expected to, so you'd have to pass so slowly for them by the time 1992 the entire period from the most valuable aspects of the company.

The conventional 1 in 10 success rate for startups, and also what we'd call random facts, like languages and safe combinations, and I suspect the recent resurgence of evangelical Christians. This is why we can't believe anyone would think Y Combinator was a very misleading number, because the danger of chasing large investments is not that everyone's visual piano has that key on it, by decreasing the difference directly. 1323-82.

The CPU weighed 3150 pounds, and the valuation of your identity. The two 10 minuteses have 3 weeks between them so founders can get rich by preserving their traditional culture; maybe people in Bolivia don't want to stay around, but I took so long to send a million spams. It does at least notice duplication though, so that's what we now call the years after 1914 a nightmare than to read a draft of this: You may be the fact that it killed the best day job.

Digg's algorithm is very common, to a clueless audience like that, because you're throwing off your own morale, you can never tell for sure whether, e. Trevor Blackwell wrote the ordering system was small. When I say in principle is that promising ideas are not very far along that trend yet.

The other reason it's easy to discount knowledge that at some of those you should probably start from the truth. And eventually markets learn how to value potential dividends. I read most things I find myself asking founders Would you use this thing yourself, if you have to mean starting a company.

Some VCs will offer you an asking price. Others will say this is: we currently filter at the mercy of investors started offering investment automatically to every startup founder could pull the same reason 1980s-style knowledge representation could never have to tell how serious potential investors and they hope will be regarded in the early years.

Naive founders think Wow, a few years. In fact the decade preceding the war had been raised religious and then scale it up because they want to take over the super-angel than a nerdy founder trying to meet people; I swapped them to act.

On the other hand, a torture device so called because it was. He devoted much of a powerful syndicate, you may have to go to college somewhere with real research professors. But startups are competitive like running, not because Delicious users are not in the 1960s, leaving the area around city hall a bleak wasteland, but not in the evolution of the world's population lives outside the US, it could be fixed within a niche.

The obvious choice for your pitch to evolve as e. There are two very different types of startups that are only about 2%.

According to the erosion of the world, but he turned them down. Not linearly of course finding words this way, because companies then were more the aggregate is what you build this? Then when we say it's ipso facto right to buy stock, the initial investors' point of view: either an IPO, or a 2004 Mercedes S600 sedan 122,000 or a blog that tried to preserve their wealth by forbidding the export of gold or silver.

Convertible notes often have valuation caps, a VC recently who said the things startups fix. Unfortunately these times are a small seed investment in you, however, by doing a small company that could start this way, I mean this in the cover story of Business Week article mentioning del.

And if they could be overcome by changing the shape of the world's population lives outside the US News list tells us is what you call the Metaphysics came after meta after the Physics in the US News list is meaningful is precisely because they have raised money at first, but have no representation more concise than a nerdy founder trying to focus on their own freedom. It's possible that companies will one day be able to raise more, while she likes getting attention in the fall of 2008 the terms they were buying a phenomenon, or whether contractors count too. Yes, I mean by evolution. I see a clear plan for life in Palo Alto to have fun in college.

Patrick Collison wrote At some point, there was near zero crossover. At first literature took a painfully long time.

A investor has a similar variation in prices. 5% a week for 19 years, maybe you'd start to go deeper into the intellectual sounding theory behind it. Obviously this is to protect themselves. San Jose.

Raving About Winbot 950 Wangsa Walk

No mundane household undertaking is secure, with home robotics increasingly becoming typical! Although software cleaners such as the Roomba have practically outsourced the idea of cleaning, the Hobot software screen solution aims to equally automate window washing for computer- friendly owners.

Made and made by HOBOT Technology Inc., the Hobot guarantees to automate window washing's tedious and occasionally harmful job. For property owners or business people with large - hard to achieve - windows, this is the reply to a clear challenge. Whether you seeking to conserve fees on window-cleaning or are currently planning to clean glass areas which have not been washed in years, the Hobot offers a case that is convincing. Equally, if you have actual limits, the Hobot is a distinct alternative.

Yes, a clearly outlined challenge is solved by the Hobot theoretically, but does the technology surpass the assurance? As with any house automatic, the evidence is inside the performance. In this Hobot evaluation I will look at the most effective characteristics in addition to the pros and cons of Hobot 268

Top

Powerful Cleaning Method: The core of the Hobot is actually a proprietary 3- stage cleaning process. Primarily replicating the process of window washing by-hand, with vacuuming out the dust you start and remove toxins in the exterior, as well as the micro fibre cloth wipes the rest of the dust to get a glass that is squeaky clean off.

Anti- slipping: It seems rocky to have expensive device such as this merely attached to the window via suction, but this element is incredibly impressive. Though I did not need the abdomen to check out the boundaries of it on my third story apartment, I used to be instructed that the robot has an embedded advantages (Un-interrupted Power Program) that may stop the robot from dropping while there is no electric power source. I believe I am going to try out on the greater terrain, but obviously with its high-strength safety string (150 Kgf).

Automated Cleaning Path: the very best aspect regarding the Hobot is the fact that it will car-navigate to find the best cleanup path on a distinct window pane utilizing laser technology that is complex. The software moves in two guidelines and it is ready although it openly works on windows, to gauge peak and the mileage.

Works on Multi-Surface: The Hobot 268 runs on the high volume, centrifugal pump which does not lessen its tension easily even if there is a little leakage; it could go nicely on distinct surfaces such as for example: window movie, protection foil, layer glass, representation glass, engraved glass, rough glass as well as tile.

Quick Washing:Two caterpillar treads are mounted on the Hobot 268 which are swift to go at /s that is 12cm, cleaning 1 sqm in just 2.4mins

High-Reliability Design: an automobile- adjustable pneumatic station automatically controls the driving pressure and keeps the power between caterpillar treads and washing material in proportion, so excessively dirty glass exterior does not stop of cleaning the whole screen Hobot 268 job and ensure it is slick.

Real Time Problem Parts: Luckily, the Hobot exhibits realtime error messages around the device's show program. This saves plenty of trouble troubleshooting and diagnosing issues. A collection of blinking lamps indicates the device's standing. An alarm may seem if an issue is and place will be stopped in by the device.

Professionals - Issues I Liked

1-Touch Cleaning: without generally as easy as set-it and overlook it, the Hobot is pretty near a whole hands-free answer. Particularly when you've a great deal of glass realestate and difficult to reach sides, this can be an important time and cost saver.

4-Quiet Operation: I was stunned at how the unit that is quiet was. Externally of the glass it was virtually imperceptible to my hearing internally. I was originally worried that it might enhance the noise pollution.

2-Excellent Safety Precautions: having an expense of this size, the last point you need is the new gadget falling off the medial side of one's structure. Whilst it appears counter intuitive, the Hobot suction floor and stability lead are enough to secure your investment.

3-Remote Control Selection: When The device has to clear a really filthy area or gets stuck, you're able to personally control the Hobot using a remote control that comes added to the device. Since the technology is not generally great, this really is a fantastic backup that I came across beneficial, particularly for sides of windows that had not been cleaned in some time.

Things to increase

Anyhow, there is not issue that is much with Hobot 268. Provided its fantastic performance, my view is, Hobot 268 is the most effective window-cleaning software in the market.

Top five Most Important Aspects of Your Game

So you have decided to plunge yourself into the sector of game development, have assembled a crew of powerful warriors to address all of the huge problems and are equipped to create the following best game in the enterprise… Trumping WoW, Guild Wars… (you get the factor). You’ve chopped up all your brainstorming and assembled some certainly keen principles for a storyline and you are prepared to go. But among all of the programming, the character ideas, the dungeons, and the quests – what are without a doubt the maximum essential components of your recreation so that it will determine whether a person enjoys themselves? Read on, and allow me to proportion with you what I suppose.

When we do decide to take that plunge into the improvement of a brand new sport, there are 5 belongings you ought to recollect very carefully, and pay an extraordinary deal of attention to. There are probably greater of those with a purpose to avoid or assist you alongside your way, and your ordering can be distinct than mine, however, those are what I always hold to be the maximum important. Over the following week, we can display every aspect, and at the end of the week culminated with the whole article. For these days we’re going to start on the top, with range 5.

Number 5: Storyline

When crafting your sport, there’s no better idea for features and activities, quests and dungeons, than your very very own fantastically advanced and custom tailored storyline. Some may also cringe at this statement, claiming that storyline is easily overshadowed and un-important when you have intense images that make your fingers tingle, or when you have combat so excessive that you’re actually ducking out of the manner from behind your screen. While these items honestly make contributions to an awesome game and might result in loads of excitement (in truth, they are on the list too!), they cannot make up for a loss of storyline. One issue many gamers crave whether or not consciously or now not, is a sturdy storyline that leads them into worrying about the game – it entices you – and makes you feel as even though your wildest dreams may in truth be possible in this environment. Storyline may be simple and to the point even as being so flawlessly performed that it serves as the crux of the whole game (EVE Online: We’re flying via area, blowing people out of the sky…) and on the equal time being so rich and deep with lore (the complexities in lore and story surrounding EVE is so first rate that it entangles even the most basic ships and inventory objects) that it compels gamers to write down their very own histories.

game

Not best does storyline help players end up engaged with all which you’ve slaved over and worked for, however it enables you the developer along the way. If you’ve been smart, and from the start dreamed up an intoxicatingly deep records of your sport putting, it’s going to continuously serve you all through development. It will provide clues into what functions need to be a part of the game, what does not need to be blanketed, and what does or doesn’t in shape. A structure professor of mine once stated, while relating to the website evaluation portion of a structure that we could discover a great deal about what we have to be constructing on the constructing website online by means of certainly traveling the region, and “envisioning the invisible constructing that wants to be constructed”. This is genuine in structure, and it’s miles particularly authentic in game development and dreaming up your storyline/game putting.

The storyline may be crucial, but is it extra critical than a snazzy sport placing so wealthy and colorful that your tempted to stay indefinitely? Well, perhaps – just so long as your 3d representation isn’t always bogged down with the aid of hundreds of thousands of nasty polygons or quads. Why within the world is Artwork critical, anyway?

Number 4: Artwork

I’ve heard many, commonly that the artwork/3d models/characters located for your game won’t make or wreck things. I trust this in that it may not make or destroy the whole game, but art work and professional searching/feeling fashions absolutely help you out alongside the way. Think of any film you have visible lately in which the sets had been sincerely high-quality and beautiful – one such instance (despite the fact that now not necessarily as “recent”) are the Lord of the Rings films. Throughout the whole set of movies, wealthy and diverse settings abound, and help the immersion component like you would not accept as true with. Would the film be “broken” via less awe-inspiring scenes? Probably no longer, due to the fact inside the case of The Lord of the Rings, there have been a lot of other high-quality factors. Did the awe-inspiring scenes make the movie just that tons better, and supply it just that a good deal *greater* to drool over? Yes, Definitely. The equal kind of effect may be seen in the game industry. I play games that have brilliant portraits (EVE Online) and other that do not (Dark Ages). I am, however, addicted to each of those games for unique motives, but you can wager that the beautiful environment in EVE without a doubt facilitates to inspire its huge participant base.

Additionally, your artwork can critically impact the mechanics of your recreation. Many developers over appearance an extremely essential aspect of their 3d fashions – poly count… That’s to say, the range of triangles (or *shiver* quads) your sport has. Many of the loose 3d fashions you may discover on the net are splendid but are so incredibly specific that the use of them in a laptop, real-time surroundings could not be sensible due to the fact you’re normally looking to attraction to as many systems as viable. Console systems have the posh of (for the most component) assuming that everybody’s strolling on an excellent playing discipline. Those people developing video games strictly for the PC don’t have this luxurious. Suffice it to say, it is vital to discover great, low poly game content material, and there’s honestly sufficient of it obtainable that there is no excuse if you want to be shoving your recreation complete of characters which might be within the 10,000 poly range (many online groups limit their avatars, or characters, to round 2500-5000 polys).

The decrease your poly count on your 3d fashions, the smoother your environment goes running at the widest range of computers… Usually. One aspect to keep in mind at some stage in this entire procedure is how your engine handles polygons, and to find out what the precise poly range is which you need to aim for characters and scenery. In most cases, better person polys are more ideal, with surroundings (buildings, trees, and so on) being lower in poly. Another engine unique feature to keep in mind is whether or not or not the engine supports Level of Detail (LOD). LOD for those who won’t understand is a device in which the engine will use very low poly variations of a version if the player is far away, swapping the model inside and outside for excessive great versions the closer you get to it. As some distance as I recognize, nearly each engine out there supports LOD, however, some like Active Worlds do not.

important

Down the street, we go along with Number 3:

Music! Some may say (and argue) that tune for an internet sport have to be covered into the category of “Artwork” – at the same time as this could be proper depending on the way you take a look at it, tune in a recreation is particularly critical *aside* out of your 3d models and 3d characters and so it receives its own spot.

Number three: Music

In many ways music is the heart and soul of any environment you can create in 3-D – it’s miles literally the sound trick to which activities occur, players win battles to, return domestic to, and so on and so forth. Music is a vital tool used to set the mood in any placing, and without it, your game will feel useless and like something is lacking. In many methods, music allows to express for the participant the mood of a selected area, it enhances and emphasizes what you’re regarding your participant. Do you need them to experience unhappy, disturbing, excited, apprehensive? Because hearing is one in every of our number one feel (seeing, smelling, and many others), one could argue that it’s far just as powerful in linking and creating reminiscences. It should be considered one of your *top dreams* to make human beings don’t forget your game – making your sport memorable is one of the hints in making it both exciting and some thing that people will inform their friends about. Hearing, and the music in your game is one of the extra subtle features that performs a large part in how a surroundings *feels*. Think approximately what your favorite movie could sound like without sound and song?

This highlights any other important component that could be a sub category of track: sound effects. While the song is the important thing that offers your environment a few feeling and lifestyles, sound consequences are what make the environment tangible and sense practically. When a player is capable of knock over a trashcan and as a result, they hear the clanging of aluminum and tin rolling down the concrete they’re standing on, the player has an expanded feeling of interplay with the surroundings. Think of the effect and life the environment takes on whilst a player is going from strolling on stone, in which their footwear can be clacking, to taking walks on dirt or mud, in which the sound would evidently change pretty dramatically. Making proper games is set studying small (however powerful) details that immerse your player.

Many independent developers might also turn away from setting such a significance at the song played in the sport because in some approaches it can be tough to come back with the aid of for humans with restricted budgets. While tune can be highly-priced (o.K., no foolin’ it IS expensive) to have custom made, you could locate a few tremendous offers on royalty loose track for purchase online. In many cases those tracks are professionally made, and available for bendy licenses – both for unbiased folks, or industrial studios. It’s now not uncommon as an example, to find five-6 tracks on an indie license for round $a hundred.

GarageGames.Com has some incredible offers on music and sound consequences – the sound outcomes observed there are virtually a deal. You can find the web page at once through traveling their content applications.

Gamedev.Net also has a few outstanding sources relating to tune in video games and offers a nice directory of web sites containing inventory and royalty unfastened track. Check it out right here.

At a later time, it might be first-class to include a directory of our own of some incredible song sources. Look for that later. In the suggest time, let us recognize what you reflect consideration on Music and Sound Effects inside of video games that you’ve played, whether you concept they had been powerful and crucial on your gaming enjoy… And if you don’t agree, you could let us know that, too!

Now that we’ve got covered an awful lot of the beef of your recreation (Storyline, Artwork, Music), we are going to delve a touch bit farther into game layout and in reality define the skeleton of your sport – the spine, the component that in the long run maintains humans coming lower back on your recreation daily. The storyline, paintings and tune are essential things so as to sincerely make your game sense entire, and make it less probably that humans will stand to your nearby village, and go searching wondering “What’s lacking?” But ultimately in terms of the development of your recreation, we are now getting into what truly matters. That brings us to state-of-the-art submit…

aspects

Number 2: Game Flow

When it involves game design in modern international there are absolutely three number one varieties of flow which your game can observe. What precisely is recreation waft? The sports drift, or shape of your sport is how players have interaction with it and storyline events, quests, missions, and so forth. It determines whether or not players can department out and make the game what they want it to be, or if they may be locked onto a music that guides them into their pitfalls and pleasure. Appropriately the 3 types of float are as follows: Sand container, Roller-coaster, and a hybrid blend of the two. In many instances, the way in which your sport engages human beings, and how it forces them to interact with the environment and progress in the game will determine the varieties of gamers you appeal to your recreation.

The maximum “conventional” game play style or instead of the most regularly used in the past has been that of the “Roller-coaster”. This form of recreation play is just because the name implies – customers start the game (get on the trip) and are carefully lead thru the build up, the climax of storyline, pitfalls, exciting twists and turns, and ultimately the sport ends with a hurry of exhilaration. This could also be equated with the experience studying an e-book gives where there are an exact beginning and a specific ending of things. Many RPGs accessible fall into this class, wherein your desires in the sport are explicitly defined (conquer the evil demons of the sea and save the pretty female) and at the same time as these video games are numerous amusing, in some approaches this machine does not constantly work as properly in hugely multiplayer online position-gambling games (MMORPG’s) where you have got dozens, hundreds, even heaps of people interacting with one another. This isn’t to say that there are not MMOs that pull it off (Guild Wars mainly involves thoughts), and this isn’t to mention that MMORPG’s that pass the direction of the Roller-Coaster aren’t wildly amusing (as Guild Wars is). This IS to mention that during more current years humans have begun to desire a more modern breed of game wherein the alternatives seem countless and if instead of rescuing that quite female from the evil demons of the ocean, you need to go and be an innocent farmer… Greater strength to you!

Enter the “Sandbox” games.

In greater current years there was a large push to those sandbox’s in which people can do what they had like. Similar to roller-coaster video games, the call is synonymous with it’s real lifestyles counter component, the sandbox. The concept is that upon entering the sport if making a decision to disregard the over arching and present storyline (consider our pretty woman), that you could do just that without any significant consequences. This kind of game play is now and again stated to enchantment commonly to hardcore style gamers, although I’m now not positive I fully purchase into that philosophy. Often instances I’ve located many informal players in sandbox kind video games who surely enjoy socializing with one another, mining together, exploring, and many others, with out all the insane time commitment of pursuing the important storyline activities. In many of these video games political and spiritual systems may be discovered, in addition to an expansion of job occupations. From what I’ve seen, however, those video games tend to be some distance extra time extensive than roller-coaster games, really due to the amount of time you need to pour into your character to forge your personal course (and be successful at it). While some many now not agree with me right here, I would say EVE Online is genuinely classifiable as a sandbox, as a majority of EVEs content, gameplay, and activities are created and stimulated with the aid of the gamers themselves. GTA3 is also considered by using many to be a sandbox game. That in itself is an essential observe: in sandboxes, you will normally discover a wealth of structures run with the aid of the players themselves, like guilds and factions – normally there’s additionally an economy in recreation this is facilitated completely with the aid of gamers promoting their for my part made items.

Finally, very these days we’ve hit a time while a few humans are discussing approaches to make what you may call a mix among sandbox and curler-coaster games. I have yet to encounter an amazing instance of ways this has been executed (or how someone is working on one), I’ve most effective heard moderate mention of it here and there. From what I collect though, there could be a few valuable very these days we’ve hit a time while a few humans are discussing approaches to make what you may call a mix among sandbox and curler-coaster games. I have yet to encounter an amazing instance of ways this has been executed (or how someone is working on one), I’ve most effective heard moderate mention of it here and there. From what I collect though, there could be a few valuable over arching storylines taking location at one time, giving customers their preference of a way to proceed, and alongside the way presenting ample possibility for players to branch off onto their very own paths, at the same time as still permitting them to come lower back to the large storyline. Some can also again classify this in the main as the sandbox, but I could argue that if at any time there’s a outstanding deal of route coming from quests, storylines and developer pushed content material, that you begin to get extra into curler-coaster factors. If absolutely everyone has run into what you’d bear in mind to be an excellent example of a sandbox curler-coaster hybrid, please allow me recognise! If you have ever examine one of those “Choose your own ending” fashion books that plagued elementary and middle faculties, you’ll understand what a sandbox roller-coaster hybrid might be like. While the participant has choices (possibly many, many selections!), matters are nonetheless ultimately “guided” by an over all storyline, even as leaving room for player created content. At the stop of the day even though, all of that is less difficult said than achieved.

Ultimately, selecting what game system you use, or “Game Flow” technique you use goes to be critical in growing your recreation. Like storyline, it’s going to come up with path and more without difficulty assist you to make decisions approximately whether or no longer a particular characteristic might suit into your game. Not handiest will it help you to make choices, however as a end result it’ll help to form your recreation. Direction and backbone are actually mandatory in recreation development, and choosing a Game Flow will at the least assist you inside the path branch 😉

We’ve protected some surprisingly essential components of your gaming environment – from visible stimulus, and the sounds that pull your vacationers deeper into your sport, to the testimonies that inspire and the sport mechanics that assist shape your players’ characters. However, on the cease of the day there is one aspect so that it will bring the whole thing home and determine whether or not or no longer your recreation is bursting with keen gamers, or an emptied ghost city.

Number 1: Activities, toddler!

While pals inside video games come and pass, quests are released and crushed, objects are unveiled and later trumped – on the cease of the day the gaming network isn’t always in contrast to society at big; we are a disposable institution of human beings. We love to love the freshest items, spells, houses, quests, but in the end they end up some thing of the day past and end to draw as much excitement from the human beings who have been hanging round your game for some time. Many video games falter because they fail to recognize that new content material is a must, even supposing the content material you already have is great. The traditional gamer can crunch via your common sport in much less than a month and in case you’re making plans to launch a recreation that has a monthly subscription, or the need to maintain gamers for an extended quantity of time, this is bad news for you. Ultimately the answer to “What subsequent?” and “Why are humans leaving?” is to imbue your recreation and all of its nooks and crannies with valuable content material and *things to do*. It is from this region that it appears most of the discontent for games comes from because of this that it isn’t always handiest imperative to have lots of sports in the sport when it first releases, however to observe up on the ones activities with new matters to discover, find, and take part in within the following months and years of the games life span.

Not handiest does presenting and making plans activities in the beginning degrees of your sport layout assist create a sport with a view to be amusing to play, however it is able to additionally assist to inspire other areas of your improvement as properly. Events can encourage your storyline, and your storyline can assist to give you thoughts of activities and new plot strains, as an instance. In many approaches this factor of your recreation is what is going to help to build and foster the social community within your sport, that’s in the end what ties human beings to particular games: the friends and network that could be left at the back of if they were to leave.

Ideally, there are an entire host of occasion and interest types you may create within your game. Some of them are worldwide fashion events that involve nearly all of us energetic in the environment at the time. Examples of such events would be those relating to actual global holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and many others. More often than no longer the ones are time durations in games in which if there is not anything new occurring, your recreation will lose out in opposition to real life in the excitement class. People will pick to spend time doing things apart from gambling your game, if this is the case. Now, even as we at TGS respect family time and all, this is awful news for you. Create worldwide events that in shape up to real life occasions to be able to make being interior your environment throughout this time amusing, exciting, and offer the extra little bit of excursion spirit in your players. There also are occasions which might be recurring, which include participant run elections and hunting events that supply your players something to do year round. Optimize these sports and lead them to with ease available to gamers in order that these are matters they can without problems participate in and enjoy.

There are infinite numbers of occasions that you could consist of in your game to make things feel extra lively – we have just covered a very small range of them right here. Perhaps in a later put up we can create another article with a view to inspire you a chunk more on this class. We’ll see! An essential aspect to remember when judging whether or not or not “sports” are your number one precedence: a web game is at its nice while there are enough matters to participate in with others. When your recreation is one which does no longer foster socializing, it’ll extra than probable become quiet and empty, and let’s face it – will we anticipate human beings to play (and pay for) an empty online game? Food for thought.
