Location: Training room

Eriha: Alright, that's all for today! Be sure not to get sick!

Everyone: Y--yes ma'am!

Yume: Ha...ha...I'm tired, hah...

Sarah: Golly, same here...it's been a while we entered the school, but I have a crazy schedule ev'ry day...

Udzuki: The studying is difficult...and surprisingly demanding...

Himari: Huh, issat so~? I'm definitely tired, but doesn't it seem like fun every day!?

Hayu: ...Himari. That's...that's Himari for ya...

Yume: Yeah, it is fun!

Hayu: ...hm.

Himari: Isn't it!~? I feel like I'm doing so much jujitsu every day! It's fun! Super fun♪

Yume: Yeah, that's true...!

Sarah: Ufufun ♪

Hayu: ...

Location: Hayu's room

Hayu: Hahh, I'm tired~!

Hayu: [ (It's crazy amazing... After that, Himari said she was going to practice on her own, but I wonder if she actually went...) ]

Hayu: I...I just can't seem to get the hang of it...

Hayu: [ (I wanted to become a dancer, too, so I'm glad I was picked...) ]

Hayu: [ (But after time, I've noticed how big of a difference in skills there is between Himari and me...) ]

Hayu: Himari is...so cool.

Location: Training room

Hayu: [ (Oof, I feel tight... I've been having lessons all morning...) ]

Hayu: [ (My head won't stop spinning, but...) ]

Himari: Wait a sec, stop!

Yume: Haa...haa...what's wrong?

Hayu: Haa...haa...

Himari: Hayu, what's wrong? Are you feeling a lil' under the weather?

Hayu: Huh...?

Himari: It's just like this, y'know? I felt like it wasn't sharp enough!

Himari: Your turning, I mean...

Hayu: ...and what's wrong with that?! It can't be helped, that's just how it is!

Hayu: I mean, we're doing lessons all day, every day, all the same right? Of course it's exhausting!

Himari: Huh?

Hayu: Even now, I'm actually "on a break", I guess!? And yet you're gonna insist that we train on our own instead of taking a break!

Himari: Hayu, then you should've rested--

Hayu: You really think I should've said that!? Even though I'm the worst at this...!?

Himari: But...

Hayu: [ (You won't tell me what you're leaving behind.) ]

Hayu: I'm different from you, Himari... I can't do any of this, but you're...!

Himari: Wha--Himari!

Yume: Hayu-chan--!

and this is old news now but my own perspective on the project sekai miku movie as a mobile game outsider who just likes some of the tunes - all i really hope for is that i'll be able to follow the plot somewhat with my very limited knowledge because it does look like it'll be a fun watch. i know there is like dimensions. the dimensions include: alt rock world. depression world. carnival world? etc. furirn and tomoriru voice characters. i like the trans one in depression world. and the little orange guy in EDM world.

the constant struggle between the dearly beloved fanwork youre pouring ur soul into working on and the urge to just change the names and character designs to release as ur own original work -_- life is never easy

[lovely-mirai]

the beast is dead,

sifas is dead

anyways my ass can't get into sif2 because both of my phones are too outdated and apparently emulators aren't allowed to be on the app so fuck me ig

[aemoglobin]

so this morning LINE announced EOS for Line Play, happening late April of next year. plenty of time to mourn the game and also hahaha my 11th anniversary with the game is in March. cool. love to know that a game i spent over a decade playing & enjoying is shutting down and i won't be able to save ANY of my jpgs </3

it was truly one of the great dress-up games and now that it's going to be gone, gaiaonline is the last bastion of hope for me lol in regards to not paying to play, which is the case with a lot of other social avatar dress-up games that are still running.

i guess i really will have to start using instagram again bc it's going to be the only way i have to keep in contact with a lot of the people i was friends with! for the better part of a decade!!! i don't know most of them well enough to trust with bsky/tumblr lol but insta would be okay...i just gotta get my loginfo and it'll be fine.

for now i'm working on finding a way to save avatars without taking 5000 screenshots/videos like i had to do when llsif shut down earlier this year (god. was it only this year??). i think the best workaround i've gotten so far is downloading LINE Camera and sending your avatars to it as stamps (which is done via settings > profile > send avatar to Camera). there's a limit to the number of avatars you can have as stamps, so i think if you send the maximum number, then take a blank photo and pose as many avatars as you can fit on that photo, save, delete the ones you used, and repeat until you've finished that set, then clear that set out in the stamp settings & repeat the whole process lol. that's what i'm going to do, anyways. it cuts down a lot on screenshots even if it's at the cost of being able to zoom in for details.

the problem is that i have a LOT of dress-up items and outfits that i want to save but man....that's gonna take so much time.

i AM going to have to take screenshots/videos for the room layouts because there's no stamp option for that. it's okay, i only have a few rooms i liked a lot and want to potentially get commissions of later on...

Chapters: Prologue - My Little Star Chapter 1 - Catch Dream Chapter 2 - C'mon, C'mon Chapter 3 - (you are here) Chapter 4 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 6 - Chosen One Chapter 7 -

Location: Main entrance

Hayu: Whoa...

Sarah: This is...this is...this is quite a sight.

Udzuki: It's wonderful...

Yume: Yeah...!

Hayu: *nervous sound* It's so impressive that it's making me worried.

Manager: It's okay.

Eriha: Yes it is, now are we ready to go? I'll explain things briefly while you follow me.

Yume: Y--yes ma'am.

Location: Inside the school building

Himari: Wow...so cool, and so pretty!

Udzuki: Is this place new? The school building, I mean.

Eriha: That's right. It's pretty nice, isn't it?

Himari: Mm-hmm! It's soooo nice! I'm so excited!

Hayu: S--same here.

Sarah: If truth be told, I'm a wee bit hesitant.

Hayu: !

Hayu: Y--yeah...! That's right!

Sarah: Ufufun ♪

Eriha: Well, how about we head to the courtyard next?

Udzuki: Courtyard...! I wonder if they have any pretty flowers planted.

Yume: I can't wait to see it!

Location: Courtyard

Hayu: It's pretty here too...

Sarah: Oh look at that, y'all, I see some kids practicing on their own!

Eriha: Everyone attending here practices a lot. I'm sure you'll be like that one day too.

Yume: Wow...

Himari: I wanna do that right now!

Yume: Hey! I wanna do it too!

Eriha: Doesn't seem to be a bad idea to do it now? After all, I still have places I haven't taken you to.

???: Hey, it's a bargain! It's a bargain~

Sarah: What the...?

Himari: Huh? Is there a voice coming from somewhere?

Yume: Let's go!

Location: Department of Purchase (1)

Hualin: If you buy this, your physical strength will be fully recovered in no time! It's 20 yen off right now~ It's cheap! It's cheap~!

Yume: Ah...

Hualin: Ah...

Hualin: ...

Hualin: What can I say, running an office isn't always easy.

Yume: O--oh.

Hualin: It's a bargain~ It's a hyuuge bargain~!

Sarah: Like a wild horse that can't be tamed*...

Udzuki: ...um, but, it certainly seems like a bargain.

Hualin: You have great eyes!

Eriha: Miss Hualin sometimes sells things like this on campus, so if you want something, please talk to her.

Yume: Okay!

Himari: Hee hee hee~, Hayu~!

Hayu: ...wh--what is it?

Himari: I'm kinda in a daze...

Himari: This school looks like fun! Hayu is with me, and Himari is relieved and ready to have a blast!

Hayu: ...heh heh, I'm ready to do that.

Himari: Eh? Is that so? Let's have a blast together ♪

Hayu: [ (I can't, I can't let you worry about me, you seem to be having so much fun.) ]

Hayu: [ (...just because I'm insecure...I can't let that be a problem. Don't do this, me.) ]

Hayu: Yeah, let's do it.

alright i'll put this in the post and not just keep it in the tags but basically idol mobages have to have some sort of gimmick to differentiate them from the others on the market. enstars has 3d mvs for all of its songs that you can put different characters into with different outfits, d4dj uses a dj booth layout for its game along with allowing for medleys of its various songs to be played, hypmic does like a record scratch thing as well as theming itself around rap battles. project sekai's gimmick is very obviously vocaloids and it uses this a lot in its marketing and such.

however, i think project sekai is trying too hard to be multiple things at once rather than focusing on what makes it different from the other games. they have 3d videos for some of their songs like enstars does, but because the bar layout for the game grays out the background by default, you don't see the video very well while you're playing. ensemble stars, to get around this problem, makes the lanes transparent against the video background so you can see the video while you play (and some beat maps do play on visual cues as well as audio ones if you play with the 3d mv on). ensemble stars is also meant to be easy to pick up since it was made with beginners to the rhythm game genre in mind, but it does have its own special beat maps that break several rules in map design that keep it interesting.

d4dj is another straight lane game that doesn't have music videos, but they have a gimmick with how their lanes are set up. you have the normal tap notes like you see in project sekai, but instead of flick notes you have the faders and disks which change the sound of the song as you play, which adds to the experience while you're playing. project sekai just has simple tap, hold, and flick notes and while the notes can vary in width, it doesn't really impact the game itself so it seems like an odd choice to make with their game design?

and hypmic is probably the most different from project sekai but it still has its own gimmick that it plays into. rather than a small game cut of the song like some of these other games, hypmic splits the songs into parts so you can play the entire song over 2-5 parts. they also utilize a ring style layout but have two different types of hold notes, yellow and green. the yellow ones are simple holds and green ones rotate the entire map to where the note goes, adding depth to the game play.

i've tried to play project sekai a few times and it just doesn't know what it wants to do. it has 3d mvs like ensemble stars and it has a straight lane layout which. those two don't really mesh. anything you can find in project sekai you can find it better in another game. d4dj does the world interactions and also just has the best live 2d of any of these games (in my opinion. its very very smooth), you can do office or club decoration in both d4dj and ensemble stars, d4dj has a more creative and inspired straight lane layout and ensemble stars has better 3d mvs in general and knows how to utilize them with its layout, and while hypmic doesn't really have any of these things, it does still manage to hold its own with its rap battle gimmick and the drama tracks and manga for the story. project sekai leans very very heavily on that vocaloid theming and doesn't really put any effort into actually making the game like. enjoyable or unique.

having thoughts about what makes an interesting idol rhythm game

[dreamerwitches]

What's on everyone's wishlists for exedra?

For magi it's: Mobage girls (delusional), the episode 12 girls, the different story sisters???, more from Kazumi and Oriko PLEASE (Satomi, Mirai and Sasa pleeaassee) and I'm super hoping you can actually play as glasses homura even though only regular homu is shown so far

For witches it's EVERYONE (no no, we can't be that greedy... ) SULEIKA, ITZLI, QUITTERIE, more spin-off witches please, I want them in colour... and I want rare appearances like Polina or the different Anja. I think recolours like in the battle pentagram would be fun too~

I'm really hoping manga stories are used. DEFFO different story pleeaassee and also stuff from portable and BP. I want idol mami and gay hitomi back
