Chibis!

I'm honestly surprised that I haven't uploaded these here until now. Then again, I drew these back in August of 2022 and didn't create my Tumblr account until November of the same year, so I might've just forgotten to do so. Nevertheless, here they are now after two years and almost two months!

In August of 2022, I had an idea regarding one of my favorite Lunime games, Gacha World. I noticed that many of the characters in Gacha World didn't get a chibi version of themself as a collectible pet in Gacha Studio, so I drew some rough doodles of my interpretations of a few characters' chibis. I plan to draw more chibi designs for GW characters and possibly for a few Anime Gacha and Gacha Resort characters (at least, the ones that weren't already featured in Gacha World). I can't wait to show you them once they're complete, and until then, I hope you enjoy what I have so far! 😊💜

Characters Included (from left to right)

Row 1: Blaster Evllyn, Dice, Idol Kinen, and Blooming Tiff

Row 2: Phoenix Ami, Melnya Kyuzo, Cindy, and Scythe Ripper

Row 3: Jack Ace, Kazeto Nekoshima, Lovely Lunith, and Gwen

Row 4: Efreet, Atom, Cyto, and Undine

Bonus! - Linked below are a few examples of the chibis seen in Gacha Studio, which were the main inspiration for these doodles, courtesy of LunimeGames's DeviantArt page.

In response to this post:

I think it's because it has the best story progression and build up.

Everyone appreciates a story with rising action, climax, and resolution. You need the "lows" in order for the "highs" to stand out, and vice versa. A small problem some other chapters had was the use of too much "high", tense moments, which results in feeling like the player was just thrown into the climax of a story.

One thing Xkour also does with its "low"s is set up a growing sense of unease, teasing the player with mystery.

Xkour starts with a friendly tutorial into the game, the player feels welcomed as no imminent threat is found. However, that changes as the tutorial goes slightly haywire and with the newly learnt fact that dying actually has consequences. This unease steadily grows until the third quest where it reaches its peak. So, what does the summoner do? Flee this "peace" and "fun" to find out the dangerous truth behind it all. One exposition later, and we've reached the first climax and subsequent resolution. Beautiful.

But of course, the story isn't done. After the first resolution, we get another moment of "low"s getting "higher" as the guardian trials start, but similarly with that unease that something is wrong back at main and even here. This time, instead of reaching its peak when the exposition drops, the story suddenly goes into a relative "low" with the reveal that the threat, the creator, wasn't here all along. But of course, it almost immediately shifts back into a "high" once another similar truth is revealed. So then we have the big climax of the whole two chapters, and then the story somewhat manages with its resolution.

Another thing would be the story's relatability.

What I mean is that players can easily connect with the characters that appear since everyone is a player here. (Also, who doesn't like the idea of a VR parkour game?) So this connection makes the stakes hit harder.

The ultimate threat of this chapter is the imprisonment and brainwashing of the players. And I assume it's easier to understand the dread of being trapped forever as opposed to other fantastical threats.

The story also uses Cyto as a way to personalise the danger of being potentially stuck in a game forever. Something about feeling more for one person's story rather than a general populace's. Although that may be the case, the story kind of fails to deliver on his anguish and thus people, us, are going to rewrite that sh** because it's too good to give up on.

(Luna's emotional anguish with herself as a program rather than a real being was also a treat.)

Another neat thing about Xkour is that it's the only chapter to have a clear connection to Luni that isn't about the swords of corruption.

There are a plethora of other minor things about this story that compile up to make this my favourite two chapters in Gacha World, some of which may differ from individuals.

tldr:

The Xkour storyline applies story writing 101 (the hill) well enough and is quite relatable, allowing the player to easily get invested into the story.

Cyto is an underrated character with almost as much emotional baggage as DJ X, and that's something this small community likes to see.

(I say that with a straight face as I continue typing out my currently 2600 word count analysis on Vale in canon and her despair with being trapped under C!Kilios' rule.)

Goodness, I love Xkour.
