The write-up for Week 4 will be out soon
And the mods would like to take this opportunity to thank Pelt (
pelted) for all her hard work the last few months!
Because she's leaving us
...oh now I really want to put up Paradiso for a Rift Event
that goddamn thing just. haunted my nightmares for weeks after I read the manga
Wow... that many apps last app period o_o
also, where do we go to suggest possible rift locations?
im kind of torn, on the one hand dead space is awesome, on the other uzumaki is the best kind of creepy
uzumaki is amazing I'm just not sure how it would...work???
I have read everything from him...
creepy shit everywhere and then...that cat
junji ito's cat diary next rift event
Seriously, it'd just be a world where all that shit could happen.
HAHAHA CAT DIAEYGVD THAT'S NOT EVEN
hat is just Ito being CRAZY

i am excited for this already aaaa;lkfje
These cats, they are evil
acrylicEmulator: I kind of wanted to suggest a mash-up of him like we did King, if it doesn't win we might look at that sometime...
your characters arrive at junji ito's house to pet his cats
Meanwhile the world is normal.
I mean you'd be better just mashing up his stuff.
You'd get a lot more options.
zumaki only takes place in that town
Like, we all just show up in that town.
Like, earlier in the series.
And then things happen over time, like in Uzumaki.
People turning up in barrels curled up, as snails.
uzumaki is I just think kind of a more specific plot??
we just have to be careful about the length
Eating eachother when they find they have the uzumaki marks on them.
Do just Uzumaki in that town where it all takes place.
they only eat the snail people once they run out of food
Have it happen early so things seem normal.
Well that's what is being suggested.
Yes that's later. But that's what I mean.
oh my god uzumaki man i'm 1000000% down
They go to Kurozu just after Shuichi's dad dies (and I said his mom dies even though that didn't happen)
Yeah. if it was longer it'd be so cool to have all the stuff ugh, sorry my mind's moving like 120931 % faster. This shit's wicked sick.
idk they should maybe leave before the rowhouses become connected?? otherwise it's just
Well again you could just, eventually get there.
Start in the beginning yeah.
again it's an issue of length
True, but everything could move faster in game.
Or you can like, go through and pick the things you want to happen.
maybe? but I don't think they should go through the entire specific plot of uzumaki is what I'm saying?? just go to the town and have people start having hair spirals, being menaced by the creepy babies
Oh no, like, stuff in the book is really personalized for the main character, like with her friend etc.
Just have these things happening about, and to the PCs here and there.
honestly I think deadlands would work the best but uzumaki is too cool to pass up
I'm just, an uzumaki fan girl, man, haha.
I was sad about Yumi Nikki too.
These need to come up again sometime.
ngl they should go to steven king sometime
A lot of these ideas are stellar.
I want to app from uzumaki too, haha...
bitterends: We do canons that have long ongoing plots often (see Silent Hill and Bioshock, for example) but the goal is not to follow the plot (we won't be), it's to use the atmosphere and general events.
So it's not going to be like "On this day a person turns into a snail."
It's going to be like "Doing this could result in turning into a snail, acting this way could result in your body disintegrating into a spiral, hanging out in the maternity ward could get you attacked by
creepy drill mosquito babies" etc
I need to read that part again BUT I DON'T WANT TO...
I think what I was saying is that uzumaki feels a little more plot-centered than environment-centered, unlike bioshock and silent hill
Well we've done more plot centered stuff too like Pan's Labyrinth.
I'm not like trying to sway people any one way here, I'm just saying we have ideas to make all these things work or we wouldn't offer them up.
of course sometimes we slip but that's life
yeah I have faith! I don't think it can't be done obviously
Well Uzumaki isn't really plot centered?
I guess what I'm saying is it's like if the main game were set in innsmouth and all the plot elements had to do with the deep ones???
When it comes down to why everything is happening.
I mean you find out in the end.
So then it becomes really like, environment based, and is just about the main characters getting through all the crazy shit.
Which again is why the main character is so calm and kinda boring, haha. She can't be freaking out and stopping constantly otherwise the story goes no where.
If she was anything like her boyfriend we wouldn't even have a story, they'd just leave.
Oh, look at all this shit happening... huh, weird. ANYWAY.
it isn't really OPEN-ENDED yes that's what I meant
I want to give Shuichi a hug through the whole thing. His life is the worst.
Omg he's who I want to app, I adore him.
nooo app him to a happy game
Haha He'd be just as manic here and there.
maybe one day he would chill...
may.........be..............................
Watches water go down the drain.
