Tiresias is getting a minor redesign to match his lore a BIT better. I tried mimicking a specific style!

Which do you prefer?

[dutybcrne]

Do I want Lyney to be capable of purring or leave that exclusively to Lynette hmmm

"Jasper, I work at [******] company but- uh-! I-I came here just to eat s-so… is it alright if I have a table for one?"

> [ Some guy with messy blond hair is afraid to approach Vincent. But unlike last time, he doesn't try to be a stupid weirdo and actually asks him a question. ]

"H-Hey… um… y-you're the head chef of this restaurant?"

( @doppelcoworker )

[He glances at him,nodding.]

“Head chef,you are correct. Vincent Charaboneau,and you sir?”

Insane how fans can write the characters more in-character than the actual devs in this fandom

Do you remember that personality inconsistency thing happening w/ Satan?

So OM has it's writing staff, but that doesn't mean that the same writers will always be working on the same things, or even that there will be consistent communication between the different writers.

OM splits its writing team up in order to tackle things like the main story, the Pop Quiz events, all the different character Devilgrams, the daily and unlockable chats, etc. This is very much standard for the industry. It's entirely likely that someone who was writing a Mammon-centric Devilgram on one day will find themself assigned to the new Simeon-centric Pop Quiz event the day after, and then be tasked with writing scenes for the main story after that. It's very unlikely that any one writer will be assigned a single task or single character to dedicate 100% of their focus to... everyone is kind of just working on everything, which may make the process faster (since your writers are working on three or four different plots/stories at once) but it also spreads focus and creativity much thinner.

Solmare has also been known to bring in guest writers from outside the regular OM staff, whether it's writers from other studios or independent writers/freelancers. So we'll sometimes even have people who aren't actually fully familiar with the characters (or at least, not familiar to the level of the regular OM team) writing for them!

Writing for mobile games (or any constantly-updating medium, really) is always going to be an uphill battle. If the demand is for new Pop Quiz events to be released every 2-3 days, along with Devilgram stories and unlockable chats for the Nightmare banner and Pop Quiz reward cards, then it stands to reason that the writers are basically running on fumes at all times. And if the main story is actively in a current/updating season, then you have to add that to the writer's workload as well.

All of this doesn't even take into consideration things like edits, rewrites, script changes, etc. It's extremely common to send in a completed scene or story for review and approval, only to get your script back full of notes about everything that needs to be changed. With the constant turnover time for things like events and stories in mobile games in general (not just OM specifically) I wouldn't be surprised if new content is only getting finished and approved within hours of it going live - which would also explain the occasional text errors and typos that we see in-game, considering that there likely just isn't time to fix everything before releasing it.

All of this is really just a very long way to say "this is why fans of a series or character are often thought to understand or write for the series/character better than the actual staff" and in a lot of ways it's fairly true. Especially when many fans are writing out of sheer love, and some official writers are possibly only writing for a paycheck.

(Writing for a paycheck is in no way bad, especially in 2024 with the economy and cost of living crisis the way it is. And many official writers love the series and characters they write for, this just isn't a universal thing)

As for Satan himself, when it comes to OM specifically he is fairly lucky in that the brothers are typically given a lot more attention and care than the rest of the cast. This is a problem in itself (OM has a long history of sidelining beloved characters in order to constantly spotlight the 2 or 3 most popular money-makers, this being Lucifer, Mammon, and sometimes Leviathan) but in this particular case, it means that Satan usually isn't victim to being thrown out-of-character by the writers, or at least not as often as someone like Solomon or Barbatos.

From what I've noticed, it tends to be the "Satan loves cats" thing that gives him the most OOC moments. Yes, Satan loves cats very much. Very big catboy energy. However, there have been times where his "obsession" with cats is so overblown for the sake of comedy and silly wacky hijinks that it goes directly against his actual character. Yes, Satan loves cats, but not enough to knowingly endanger himself or the people around him, which has happened more than once - the biggest examples being S2 and S4 of the original game, where Satan's IQ suddenly dropped into single digits during a very serious situation and he abandoned his actual goals in order to chase after a random cat. In S2 he did this despite the fact that it not only endangered his own life while he already knew that the cat was not real, but also at the detriment of the rest of his family and MC (as the fake cat was a known trap meant to prevent him from helping MC and Lucifer save Beel's life)

Yes, Satan loves cats. But he also loves MC and his family more than anything else, and the idea that a random cat that he literally knows is a trap can cause him to suddenly become stupid and abandon everything at the drop of a hat when he knows that it will risk him and everyone else is so wildly, ridiculously out of character for him it's almost laughable.

We know that Satan would not ever put himself or anybody he cares about in serious, life-threatening danger on purpose.

But the story needed a little ✨️drama✨️ so the writers decided that Satan's established characterisation was worth sacrificing in order to write the scene they wanted.

This week is my stream anniversary, skaters!

We'll be spending the week celebrating four whole years of catboy! There will be collabs! The requisite out-of-character chatting stream! And finishing it all off with doing karaoke of songs from THPS 1 and 2 on the day itself!

As with last year, I will once again be taking questions for the OOC chat stream! If there's anything you want to ask me about - about me, about Emery, about vtubing, advice, whatever - you can send your questions in here and I'll read them on Friday!

The exact date of my anniversary is September 7th, so considering that my very first stream was the THPS 1+2 remake, doing karaoke of songs from the original games seems pretty appropriate. I'll see you there!

I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment (especially with the plague going on) and I’d really like Bex’li to get some new friends. I’m available to RP nearly any time at the moment and though my timezone is GMT, I do regularly stay up to attend RP during north american times.  I am WELL over 18 and expect my RP partners to also be over 18.  I don’t mind server hopping, though I’m located on Balmung.

fresh cup of sci-fi here

WHO AM I stargazerfishkiss@gmail.com  —I'm 21+ | you must be as well —Pacific time —She/her | all genders welcome —E-mail preferred | other methods can be discussed but e-mail is king —OOC chat is good! lemme know if you like sharing inspiration pics and music —I reply anywhere from every 1-3 days —350 words and up per reply | it's very flexible and dependent on my partner —I will smut, limits are those good old standards of no underage and no toilet play | let me know what you're comfortable with and your limits and I will respect them —No top/bottom or seme/uke roles, no hyper-submissives | I like characters on equal footing I've played so much M/F and F/F lately that I'm just looking for M/M at the moment unless you have a real good idea otherwise. Open relationships are on the table. Nonbinary and trans characters are welcome as long as you aren't fetishizing them. SETTING I'm looking for some sci-fi with some cyberpunk and biopunk thrown in. So you've got both cybernetics and gene mods people use to enhance their natural bodies and abilities, whether it's modifying their own genes or if it's splicing in some kind of animal DNA*. This isn't really hard sci-fi here, it's kinda fantastical. *Here's the thing: I don't like catboys/nekos/people with animal tails and ears or full on furries. So I'd rather go subtler with the appearance of the animal gene mods thing- a lot of people will look mostly human to entirely human if they have them, leaning more towards things like animal eyes or skin markings at the more "normal" end of things to more body horror-ish stuff like gross stingy skin nubs from jellyfish and unnatural looking gorilla chest muscles that contort someone's posture. That's the main thing I want to incorporate. The rest of it I want to build with you! Let's make the world together and have some fun. Come at me with your ideas and cravings. PLOT STARTERS These are intentionally pretty loose, I want to build a plot with my partner. Let's change them or mix 'n' match as needed to make them into a real story. Or do something totally different!  Are We Alone Out There / researching into potential alien species and signals / exploring new territories and planets for profit and/or science / oh no evil space vampires Find Your Home / protecting a colony from external and internal threats / bunch of misfits form up as a crew and the real treasure is the friends we made along the way / I love themes of found family / good old fashioned rebellion meant to take a planet/civilization back Hail the Corporate Overlords / our characters end up forced into some corporate contract that sends them off into environmentally/politically hostile worlds / megacorporations are more government than the government itself / espionage and crime; murder mysteries / androids and autonomy / science experiments gone wrong Gimme your characters, your ideas, your wants- no matter how basic they are, they are welcome! Just give me something to respond to when you contact me, don't be a pillow princess when it comes to figuring out the RP.  Again, that's stargazerfishkiss@gmail.com
