#also i remember prior to gacha club coming out all the weird conspiracy stuff about gl2 so its so weird to see it as an actual real thing

little review of gacha life 2!

i got into gacha life in 2019, then gacha club when it came out, then around 2022, i stopped. i've been on and off since, doing to odd edit, creating the odd character, but i haven't really been an avid gacha fan since. this game might change that.

to begin with, they've got rid of one of the biggest problems with every gacha game prior: the severe lack of black hairstyles and clipping. in gacha club, you had like 20 different combos for actually good black hairstyles overall. i think there's more parts for black hairstyles than that in gl2. i love it so much.

i was hoping for different body types, but unfortunately no. you can kind of achieve this by adjusting the bodies, and there are sort of body presets, but i wouldn't really say they're that good. at the same time, i understand different body types can really complicate things, so i'll let them off.

ANYWAY! time for the actual fun stuff: the characters i made.

to begin with, i made my selfsona. honestly, it would've been easier to just make my actual self, but i digress.

next, i decided to make blue pender!!! i knew they'd be fairly easy to make because she did originate as a gacha life character and the majority of her designs are from gacha club! also the reference image has a different outfit because im not actually allowed to post my art of blue in the outfit shown below and i cant be bothered to draw it

also it's funny to see how things have slowly been warped. like how blue's earring is SO MUCH BIGGER than it was orginally (also the elf ear is fake they're only wearing a silcone one)

finally, i wanted to make a character that would be really hard to make: glitch the rat. glitch was NOT designed in a gacha game, and yk. they're a rat. so i went to make a human version, and then

WDYM ANTHRO CHARACTERS ARE EASY TO MAKE??? WHAT??? THIS CANT BE REAL??? i mean, tbf, the whole 'no naked people' thing does complicate things, but ive been playing since before gacha heat became a problem and play shovelware for fun, i can deal with clipping.

overall, it was really fun and i highly recommend to anyone who's been thinking of playing gacha, any old fans or new!!! i mean, as i said, i might get back into gacha because of this. oh and thank god theres no more pedophile (lentotally)
