Mythology VN Jam!

Hello, hello everyone! This year I'm running a chill mythology-based visual novel/interactive fiction jam with @chimeriquement, @butter-blanc, and lenlen403! It runs from June 14th to September 15th!

The rules are very relaxed - if you have any ideas relating to mythology, be it a retelling, a meta-story, or a story about your own mythologies, it's allowed! See the link for more details!

If you're interested, please check it out! We'd love to have you!

✨ I'm recruiting for Otome Jam ✨

I want to make an otome sequel to my Victorian vampire mystery visual novel Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea, but I need writers and artists to help. These are PAID positions!

Otome Jam is a visual novel game jam ran from May 1st-June 30th.

Scope: 3 love interests, 6 main characters, 10-15k minimum per route, demo released by the end of Otome Jam (June 30th) with at least part of the routes completed

Synopsis: Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea is a linear mystery visual novel set in a fictional Victorian era where vampires are a part of everyday life. Nemo, a vagabond in search of a cure to vampirism, meets the young runaway Cecil in search for his childhood friend Lucie. The visual novel followed the two of them traveling together to find what they're each looking for while also solving a slew of vampire attacks. Nemo & Cecil were the main characters and had a swapping perspective between the two of them.

This imagined sequel will take place around 5 years later and follows Lucie's perspective as she is now the head of her family's estate. Just as she's about to make her first big business deal, her business partner winds up dead, leading her to have to start over again with his eldest son if she wants to keep the deal intact. Even more so a headache, as a human turned vampire, she now has the decision to either stay human by staying on her treatment or becoming a vampire again.

I'm recruiting:

writers who love fantasy and mystery like Witch on the Holy Night and MAMIYA

artists who have polished glossy art styles or softer painterly styles

GUI artists who are adaptable and have experience with visual novels

In response to this post

What the LIs would record in their build-a-bear 🧸

Kayn: “Did the sun come out, or did you just smile at me?”

Druk: “(in the raspiest, hottest voice possible) Ligma… Pft—!” The rest of the recording is just him laughing

Fenir: “It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf-Lords, great miners and—“ He gets cut off. His message was too long.

Etza: “Hope you’re having a good day, my love :)” (It’s so cheesy but you can’t bring yourself to hate it. It’s just too wholesome.)

Kuna’a: “[REDACTED].” Inappropriate for the contents of this blog.

Aisa: “ “ (it’s just white noise.)

#alaris #fantastic #lmao

[nanapop]

OK BUT WAIT WAIT LMAO NOW I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING ELSE (im not anon here but this is just so silly) they have those bears where you can record something and have it put in so when you like press the paw it plays it back

What would they all put as the recording lol

for research purposes, how do the alaris LIs feel about build-a-bear?

build-a-bear is a concept i imagine doesn't exist in the alaris world so i'm laughing imagining them hearing about it for the first time aslfjeijf

BUT LET'S SAY in a modern au they know what build-a-bear is. all of them would be down to go with you. in terms of most to least excited, it would probably be:

Kayn > Etza > Druk > Fenir > Aisa > Kuna’a

in terms of bears they would make:

Kayn: makes a bear that compliments yours. so whatever vibe u make for ur bear, he will follow it so that ur bears can also look like they’re together

Druk: frat boy looking bear LMDLSLA. little tank top and swim shorts. maybe a hat or glasses. he’ll call the bear “little bro”

Fenir: his bear is extra fluffy. minimal accessories so it’s optimal for cuddling with. ends up sleeping w his bear often.

Etza: makes a bear that has a slight resemblance to you. keeps it on their desk so it’s like ur always with them.

Kuna'a: somehow ends up making the ugliest creation known to man. wants to trash it but u stop them and put it on display at home, much to their annoyance.

Aisa: very classic looking bear. like actually imagine what the most standard build a bear would possible look like and that’s what aisa would make. except they would parade the bear proudly like they made something super special and unique.

#alaris #lmao this is so funny #i did the message bears with my friend and it's one of my fave bears #i need to know what kayn would record #👀

❝ Not all mysteries... ❞  

Some mysteries, beyond man, have no logic, have no fate. In the face of such, keep your wits close, but do not trust them.  Trust not yourself, nor your senses. Your time, nor your wit.

For where time has stopped, but its flow has no end.  For when passion calls, but hate runs deep.

Heed this warning, and do not wait.  For laws of nature and laws of man.  Have no logic, and have no weight."

❝ ...can be explained by the logic of man. ❞

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

#yeah

[nanapop]

crying and sobbing y'all when people said that you only add scenes that advance the plot they didn't JUST mean the overarching plot. they meant the plot of the book... entirely. like a conversation between two friends can advance the plot by characterizing them and grounding them with a meaningful relationship. if your book doesn't have "filler" it's missing emotional beats. which are plot. which are important. fun and whimsy aren't mutually exclusive from what "needs" to happen in your book. the advice isn't bad it's just taken too literally stop come back.
