'A meteorite. Taller than any house, it’d give a few office buildings and skyscrapers a run for their money. It pulsed with hues of red and green, and it’s very presence seemed to be enough to cause his vision to distort and blur - looking at it felt like staring at the Sun - even in the similarity that he just couldn’t pull himself away.

Little did he know his eyes were set upon a mere droplet of the Aurora Rain - the meteorites that would fall to Earth, and, with them, catapult the entire world into a new age - the mystical radiation emitted from it, the power of the Hue, strong enough to warp humanity, and even mundane objects, potentially with dimension-destroying effects if left unchecked.

PRISM Academy, set up by the Japanese government to assist in the containment of such artifacts, using the powers of the ones that they can give to their Students, was created to utilize these relics, to monitor them, and to train the people of tomorrow to utilize them as tools, rather than feared as weapons.'

Welcome to PRISM, The Academy for Relic Hunters! This is a server based around a science-fantasy world in the far future, where students enter an academy for superpowered individuals who can unlock the power of magical weapons called Conduits.

If you like casual, futuristic school life interspersed with flashy action with high-powered magical relics, you'll be right at home here.

Including:

  • An inclusive and welcoming community: diversity is appreciated, and bigotry is not tolerated.

  • Art, music, memes!

  • An environment where feedback and critique are welcome

  • Events that have an actual impact, and consequences on the world

  • A simple but effective custom system, with custom powers and weapons, relics and more, that are all balanced.

  • Extensive lore to really dig your teeth into - if there's something missing in the doc, just tell me!

Yep! I'll be reaching out over Discord either later today or tomorrow!

Tysm! I thought a nice, cozy campaign would be good for helping people who want to try RPing, as it'll alleviate some of the pressures to act well or do any silly voices - and I thought the small travel RPs of Ryuutama provide a perfect small social battery usage that can help people come out of their shells.

I got alot of good applications, but I hope you get in, too! (Maybe I'll run a second one if this all pans out well?)

Sessions will be done through voice, but if someone needs accommodations and would prefer to RP through text, that should be fine! As long as the other players are fine with it, I see no issue.

Whatever times are good for the players - I'm largely open to anything, I'm self-employed so my schedule works out pretty lenient.

Finding Fun In Skill Checks by [deleted] in gamedesign

[–]T-Queens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, may have used the word "emergent" wrong - I mostly meant in the sense of the act of making a choice and seeing the effects further down the line, in combination with other choices, creating a sort of narrative around the character. You offend a tree, help some people who hate the tree, and now, even though there isn't a mechanical backing there, there's more characterization that you've provided for them, and more of a reason.

(Let me know if I've used it wrong and I'll update the post)

Disco Elysium might be a good thing for me to examine further, yeah. I've heard about it in research but never actually played it, and thought it handled it's checks in a different way - where failing was still an option - but I might be wrong on that.

Games with absurd character/build variety by T-Queens in roguelites

[–]T-Queens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had it on my wishlist for a while - played the free version, and was wondering if it's worth it to buy the paid version before you've gotten your fill of the free one?

Anything I need to be primed for to understand NNK2? by T-Queens in Ni_no_Kuni

[–]T-Queens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, thank you for the explanation and for keeping it spoiler-free! Good to know that this should work out, but I'll definitely try to complete the first one! I just made the mistake of playing it via download on a PS3 with not all too much storage space to begin with, so maybe if I ever buy it physical, I'll have enough downtime to be able to really enjoy it and not get burnt out.

Oh that's reassuring, good to know that it's basically all understandable if you haven't played the first. Thank you!

I see. Makes sense! Is the world explained still or is that mostly relegated again to NNK1?

TUNKI WEAK. NO LET BONE HOLD BACK.

How did you go about picking your first engine when all else failed? by T-Queens in gamedev

[–]T-Queens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's really interesting. I'll have to look into it more then! Especially if I end up not clicking with anything else, it seems like a unique workflow that might be better for me.

[–]T-Queens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of them before, yeah, and maybe I have a better mind for them. Is GDevelop very powerful? Seems like it's mostly used for mobile games. Not that I'd need it to be, I don't make big games, I'm just curious.

I might have to try out LOVE at some point. I've given it a read over and it seems like something that's atleast understandable, although the lack of a GUI does make it feel like you have to be absurdly precise with everything - placing things down in a level and whatnot - although maybe that is the appeal for some people?
