"They say time mends all wounds. Heh, I wonder when mine will start to heal..."

Fan track for Mizuki Furukawa, youngest ex-heir to their noble family, from Ultima Stella, the TTJRPG campaign I'm part of. Mizuki is a fellow party member from Ombre Meccaniche, the one story I play specifically, and a troubled person who can't let go of their past; hurt by their sister leaving them and by their brother's sudden death, constantly running from the future and clinging to their happy times together.

I love Mizuki very much. I made this theme helped by their player and incorporated a few snippets of their old compositions, so thanks a lot to Peko for that! Working together with them was a BLAST, as much as it is roleplaying and coming up with scenes building off each other's characters. Let's do it again and again!

Aaaand drawing by Ticcy (linktr.ee/Ticcy)! Thanks a lot as always to her too 🙏

I made an anime opening for the show playing in my head when it's game night with my party in Ombre Meccaniche, the Fabula Ultima TTRPG campaign I've got severe brainrot for. I'm gonna make a vocaloid version or something later next week but I also wanted to sing it myself...

Fan battle vgm for Vermell Woglinde, captain of her lost clan and formidable mage in Ultima Stella, the Fabula Ultima TTRPG I've been playing. My friend had her birthday the other day so I HAD to make a theme for her character, especially since I love her so much ❤ mine and hers share a lot of similarities despite being born on the other side of the ocean, so she's my beloved overseas twin

New cover with my buddy @crimson2877!! We had fun.

"Who's decided I'm weaker just because I can't do something? What if I could do one hundred more, better than them? That's unfair! That's so unfair! I'll make it, even without their 'magic'. I'll be even better than them. Better than anyone."

Fan music theme for Nachtigal, Paladin Pursuing Truth in Ultima Stella, the Fabula Ultima TTRPG I've been playing. It's my master's character in a different campaign! He appreciated the gift.

Uh yeah made a concept album for three towns in the TTRPG I'm playing and forgot to post about it. I'm real good at this.

Incredible cover art by @ticcytx!! Thanks for indulging me always 🙏

"Quiet mountain town on Lake Dasua, its natural beauty and peaceful ambience makes it shine against the other bigger cities in Kamakura, while the arcane grounds of Mount Tanjou stand tall in the background."

Fan track for Ultima Stella, the TTJRPG campaign I'm part of.

Completely forgot to post this one.

"You find yourself far away from the cold, metal grounds of the laboratory. Vast, yellow plains adorned with golden trees lay before you… although they don't look as grand to you now. In front of you a creature no one in Gynesia can claim to have seen for sure: a dragon. And you're a dragon too, as you see the world from the eyes of a colossal creature supposed to have disappeared hundreds of years ago."

Fan battle track for Jō Hirame, @ticcytx's character in the TTRPG we play together! In different campaigns. One day Ticcy, one day.

Of course you can count on her for a gorgeous cover art.

Your Turn To Thrive: Life After A Death Game

Your Turn To Thrive?

Your Turn To Thrive is a visual novel and stage play sequel to YTTD taking place 6 months after massacre ending with Nao Egokoro as the protagonist. Her and Sara Chidouin start over in a fresh environment as they continue to recover from the events of the death game, forming new bonds of mutual support, and unraveling the mystery of their new home. The story is focused around mental health, post-traumatic growth, and overcoming oppressive systems.

We want to convey each characters mental health experiences in ways that are both psychologically realistic and consistent with their portrayal in YTTD. Nao and Sara are both incredibly powerful characters each with unique strengths and we want that to be reflected in this story, because even in tragedy, life still goes on.

The visual novel is currently being prioritized, and has more content such as optional free time events, minigames, and environmental dialogue. The story will be released in 3 updates roughly similar to the release of Your Turn To Die. Here's a small amount of what we've been working on!

Some of our backgrounds!

In creating backgrounds for Your Turn To Thrive, our goal was a pixel art style similar to Your Turn To Die, but with the ability to display even small objects in enough detail for the environmental point and click elements similar to AI The Somnium Files. To do this, we've made a process to create pixel art backgrounds using real-world photography.

This story takes place in a college setting, so we went around colleges, focusing on liminal spaces, to capture the vibe of this YTTD sequel! These aren't our finalized images, but we think they're looking pretty good :)

Some of our music!

"There's nothing to fear in failure. A person's life does not end there. / As long as you live on... Happiness will surely come to you!" - Kazumi Mishima [src]

Courage in Tragedy is our first public part of the OST, and is meant to be a followup to YTTD's Even in Tragedy combining Day of Tragedy and Step of Courage. Your Turn To Die primarily uses GarageBand loops and For Your Turn To Thrive's OST we wanted to do the same for many of our tracks. YTTT will also contain tracks composed by @crescendotto.

"Port city in northern Kamakura and important hub for international commerce. Sailors and merchants from all around come to Mizu Hagawa by docking to its piers and landing at its airport. This makes Mizu Hagawa one of the richest and most thriving cities in the known world, and it rivals Jin Yamachi's own contribution on kaiji."

Fan track for Ultima Stella, the TTJRPG campaign I’m part of.

I haven't played since February and I'm having severe withdrawal symptoms. Mizu Hagawa has been our hub for months... sure, we might've been involved with the criminal underworld but we're pretty much buddies now. With the good criminals, of course. The... good criminals... I'm starting to think Mizu Hagawa isn't the safest place in Kamakura.

"Capital city of Kamakura and the Federation. Jin Yamachi is a vast city constantly lit by magitech lights. Researchers and enthusiasts from everywhere walk its large roads in search of innovation and knowledge, two virtues Jin Yamachi is famous for in the whole known world."

Fan track for Ultima Stella, the TTJRPG campaign I'm part of. Now done! I'm pretty fond of it since it's where my character lives. It's a pretty high tech city for a fantasy setting, that kind of mix and match I'm a sucker for. The whole place is bustling with life, and cat-looking cleaner robots (kindly provided by the local mega-corp) keep everything in order! Hooray for capitalism!
