Snooze Cruise posted:I posted earlier but I think it was missed, I need a genre. My apologies, but I'm glad to tell you that we love your Business plan! You got the funding! Also, how the gently caress did your post slip by me? drat. The only way to make up for this is to add an additional week for playtesting, pushing back the deadline for playtest reports to Sunday March 5th by 11:59p CST, which pushes back the overall deadline for final submissions to Sunday March 12th by 11:59p CST.

Agent Rush posted:So Week 3 will be working on and submitting the rough draft, and Weeks 4 & 5 will be playtesting/revising? Yes, with the week after the deadline being your chance to add in your tweaks and submit your final draft. We've evolved from a "February only" contest to "February to some time through March" contest! Hooray! Plutonis posted:I'll be traveling from Feb 8 to 13 but I'll try my best to get poo poo done asap and leave those days free. Okay. Remember, the goal with week 2 is to simply show you've made some effort, so you should be fine. On the plus side, you'll be back for the bigger deadline no problem! EDIT: Also, now there are 32 participants at my last count. That's a lot of anime...

Rigged Death Trap posted:For high 'seas' adventure, The reason for the quotation marks was to keep it open for you. Naval isn't required, but neither are sea elements. The "Seas" is more a vastness to be adventured in and through, with oasis-like spots of people spaced between. Does that make sense?

Covok posted:I'm kind of doubling down on the troupe of young, hot-blooded dream driven heroes face a great threat together through friendship, effort, and victory. I'm doubling down on the "narrow focus is the best for game design" and kind of keeping things to shows with similar setups like Naruto, One Piece, Hero Academia, and Bleach. Yeah, I know Bleach wasn't that great, but it is a good source for the kind of things I've decided to focus on. Trying to focus on a few things: Perhaps have a mechanic for increasing the difficulty of the subsequent arcs based on the weird power antics of the PCs? I like the concept, the challenge is how to rope in "Shonen Power Creep" to actually be a mechanic... rumble in the bunghole posted:Wondering how possible it would be to have players create a manga as they go by drawing low-quality cartoons as their action. It's a good flavor thing but doesn't have mechanical hooks and might slow down play. Do eeeeeet. I can't not love that idea. DeadReed posted:Throwing my chips into the contest.

The Cut-Off for new entries is now! If you still want to enter, that's fine - but you'll be using a Late Pass to do it. The modifier for this contest is to account for one aspect of anime that the genre's don't cover: the producers! You'll be dealing with a restriction from "on high" that you'll need to factor into your games in some way. So, say hello to the introduction for 4Kids' dub of Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRwJvOm395E This series was a spin-off sequel to Kinnikuman: an anime and manga series about the adventures of a wrestler who is the father of Ultimate Muscle's protagonist. But as far as the United States was concerned, Ultimate Muscle was it - there was nothing before it, and nothing after it. Effectively, it was a stand-alone sequel series. All of your games must be a "Sequel Series" of some sort. What does that look like? It's up to you. Whether through the story or the mechanics, the legacy or impact of something in the past has to have an impact in the present that the characters have to deal with. So, get creating. Feel free to chat either here or in the chat thread to come up with ideas to involve the modifier with the genre you were assigned. EDIT: Added the explanation on the modifier. Feel free to ask any questions you have on it. TheSoundNinja fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Jan 28, 2017 |

Rangpur posted:Huh. That actually requires very little in the way of changes to my setting. Though ironically, declaring it a sequel does retroactively make it sound much less inspired than it already was. Remember, "Sequel Series" doesn't require it to be an actual sequel - just that something from before affecting the present.

This reminds me of REIGN: The Animation - the anime about Alexander the Great, with the AeonFlux looking character designs.

Kwyndig posted:Well you can't copyright mechanics. You can trademark and copyright specific terms, but not mechanics. Basically what this means is to be completely in the clear you'd have to rewrite all the stuff so you're not directly plagiarizing the game text. For this contest, you'd need to write it in a way that you could sell it if you wanted to. But Kwyndig is right, only key terms can be copyrighted. Mechanics are fair game.

Agent Rush posted:Hey, some people were wondering in the Discord if the blurb has to be exactly 150 words? Exactly that many words. Does the concept sound like something in an anime? I've never seen Generator Rex, but is it anything like Generator Gawl? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_mjFGym-xI

Quick clarification to the word counts: I'll paste the Ad Copy or Fanfics into a Google Doc, Highlight it, and use the word count tool on the selection. While Ad Copy (the 150 word description) will need to be exactly 150 words, fanfics can be longer. Also, the Ad Copy can be accompanied by more detailed descriptions of what you're working on.

Agent Rush posted:Reading the wikipedia page for Generator Gawl, Generator Rex is kind of similar to it. It's like Kwyndig posted; an Event spread nanites all over the Earth and sometimes they activate and turn living things into monsters. One dude has the ability to create bio-mechanical weapons and tools with his nanites, and even cure other's somewhat. Sounds anime to me.

Hedningen posted:Burning Fires of Youth!!! The Demon Lord's Return! gently caress. Mah Jong. My only weakness... I have up to Hedningen's Week 1 submission posted in the second post. If you need to adjust your word counts, feel free to edit your posts originally (as I am lazy, and wish to just have the hyperlinks to the posts be simple). The idea of "Best Post of the Week" prizes has been thrown around, and I do like the idea. I'll be figuring out exactly what to give away (as one of the people I reached out to I need to reach out to). It'll probably be something anime related (as he's a convention chair at several conventions here in Texas). So: starting after the cut-off for Week 1 Submissions, I'll be picking which participant had my favorite Ad Copy. If you have a cool logo? It'll increase your chances. I'm at a game store, and browsing titles. Sell me on your game! What will you get if you have the best post? Either a to be decided, but would be shipped domestically or something anime that I could give you digitally.

Lurks With Wolves posted:I, uh, included the italicized bit as the blurb when I was writing it. I just, uh, italicized it for aesthetic reasons and then put the --- after it to try to signify that it was supposed to be part of it? Even if it is kind of a weird cheaty workaround to make it hit the 150 word limit because I didn't have a better way to insert another sentence into the main paragraphs without making it sound more forced than including a bit of closing small text. Oh. That's fine then. Carry On!

Covok posted:Having some trouble with the setting. See, Shonen includes tons of settings. Tons. It's hard to even boil them down to a set number because, when you try, you hit an exception that's hyper popular almost immediately. I mean, Shonen, technically, runs the gauntlet from One Piece to Jojos as Shueshia Battle comics are pretty general as it is basically the Japanese Superhero Genre. That sounds pretty anime. Go for it.

Agent Rush posted:Hey TheSoundNinja, do my Punk elements have to be explicitly Cyber? You have the Transhumanism angle covered pretty well, as the virus changing people and offering an opportunity to be more than human (albeit, as a demon) is doing that in a way that may or may not be cyberpunk. Considering your genre was Cyberpunk and / or Transhumanism, I think you're fine as you have one covered.

Chill la Chill posted:I just saw this thread but this is amazing. Imagine how I feel judging it. All of these sound awesome, and I cannot tell you how I'm going to narrow down the top 8. Only time will tell, and it'll be drat close. So, I've added some of the clarifications that have come up since I added the genre recommendation lists a few days ago. I've updated logos and Week 1 posts up to EscortMission's "Keepsake: Magnificant Soldier's Lineage". Also, there were no PnP Mah Jong decks out there. Which is bullshit, because Hedningen's "Burning Fires of Youth!!! The Demon Lord's Return!" needs a Mah Jong set (cards or tiles) for its mechanics. So, gently caress it: I made one myself using the Public Domain tile images on Wikipedia. Whoever playtests it, or is interested in the game in general, there ya go. EDIT: And since some of you are using Cortex+, or could just use these for whatever you're working on, here's an album of dice icons I made that are public domain.
