DURARARA!! BELONGS TO RYOHGO NARITA, SO PLEASE READ OR WATCH THE SERIES FIRST BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME!

Here’s a few screenshots of “Ikebukuro Records”, a Durarara!! dating sim fan game. Thank you to my two lovely artists, (digital artist) mr_glassesarts and (sketch artist and co-writer) MockNerd!

This takes place 7 years after the Final Curtain arc, so some characters may look a bit different (Izaya being one of them). 

Now obviously the player can input their name, I just put “Player Name” to let the players decide what MC’s name would be. So they don’t need to worry about a set one. 

The bachelors available in the game are: Shizuo, Masaomi, and Izaya. 

There’s 3 endings in the demo, but there will be 22 endings in the final game. The demo will have days 1-10 (routes start on day 8), while the amount of days for the full game is TBD. As of now, there are 14 characters from the series, though more will be added in the final game. 

So many that I kinda want to pimp slap myself for being such a workaholic. I love programming this game but sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Some characters from the series will only be seen in certain routes or simply mentioned. 

The demo will be posted on Game Jolt and Itch.io. So far day 2 for Shizuo and Masaomi are finished programming wise, just need the art for ‘em. 

I’ll keep posting updates!

Decided to go fuck it and reblog because yeah I sort of do like the witcher. It's my fandom in law.

my friend did fanart of my fic because they're awesome. welcome to like 500 year old Geralt rediscovering customer service but this time he's making coffee not slaying monsters @mocknerd thank youuuu ily

New profile pic, who this?

So yeah, I might do something here.

Gonna start doing stuff on here whenever I feel like. Art and writing and shit. Send requests or questions I guess. Still figuring tumblr out so do give a bit to adapt. Sincerely, a nineteen year old grandma. 

When I draw Izaya I have to do his eyes extra evil.

Happy Birthday to Anri, the Spooky Baby!

I would draw some art but I’ve been a bit shaken by something, and it’s rather late. 

But imagine Anri celebrating her birthday with MC and Arabella (cause she needs some female friends her age, and groping without consent isn't a very friendly thing to do, ERIKA). Imagine Mikado and Masaomi agreeing to hang together and leave them be so that they could have girls night. Imagine them mixing Halloween and birthday traditions together, like dressing up in cutesy outfits, or playing fortune telling games. Imagine them eating ALL the sweets and watching late night movies. Just imagine them being cute, wholesome group of friends. 

Phew, I feel better now. 

Looks like that will be the end of my attempt to celebrate Halloween drrr!! style. 

Please remember to check out the dating sim demo we made on the madhousefruitcake blog, and again feel free to spread the word. You can do that by reblogging the link, doing fanart, memes, or sending asks. 

Happy Halloween

So recently I finished reading Battle Royale which I was struggling to finish for quite a while. Not because it was bad (though it did have it's issues) but because I always pick it up at seemingly the worst time. The first time was the end of my Bachelors, this time it was during my Masters. But I did finish it, this time and that was partly because I was able to keep track by keeping a notebook, which I will show pictures from below.

(I don't know why tumblr decides to show them upside down but fuck me I guess. Also my writing may or may not be readable, i tend to have child doctor hand writing)

I did some drawings of the characters on the inside, as you can see. I did tend to favor the female characters, not gonna lie so that's why I've been drawing them. I just found less of them insufferable (also drawing girls is easier). Their appearance wasn't based on the books or the manga, though they did have a slight influnlence. I mostly got inspo from @dullahanart who is really talented.

Now I didn't hate all of the guys. I LOVED the Kiriyama family and their chapter/s were some of my favourite parts.

I also liked Shogo and I wish he was explored more outside of having to talk to Shuya.

Speaking of him. That is my main problem with the story. I couldn't stand half the people who were meant to be the main characters. It's a shame because Noriko and Shuuya have such potential (especially the former).

And I understand the point of Shinji, but only because I watched a video on the series that explained him way better than the book. I couldn't stand reading him, and I dreaded any chapter that involved him because I soon realised he was the culprit of why I couldn't finish the book before. Talk about an actual Gary Stew, and I'm not even using that as a buzz word here. I've never read such an unbearably perfect character.

I think instead of giving a main cast and telling them "these are the characters you should like", the story could have benefited from having no definitive main character or "winner". You can tell who is going to survive pretty early on, and honestly it really downplayed the steaks. I would have prefered if each character got equal attention so that nobody could tell who would come out of it. That way, one could really get more invested in the side characters, who are all the highlight of the book.

But I don't know, that's just my opinion. I honestly think I like the movie more, but I can at least say I prefer the book to the manga.
