Jam City Presents: Love Won't Save You (Short Film)

[maleliddell]

I'm sorry but today I'm going to choose violence...

I WANT MY SHIP CANON!!!

How am I supposed to not ship them together, JC? They are so freaking adorable! ☺️

[missnight0wl]

hi there! I just wanted to put all my thoughts in this ask, because I have the feeling that you'll understand me!

first things first: I MISS RAKEPICK SO MUUUCH!

She was by faaar the most interesting character in the whole game! I was really invested by her backstory and her character development (well, until JamCity f*cked her up, but she's still superb in my mind). But after Rakepick ended up in Azkaban and a long time before that, I didn't have so much fun playing the game anymore (if you can call it playing - it's more like pressing the game).

+ I often have a hyperfixiation on certain characters and she was one of them. That's one of the reasons why it upsets me so much that JC fcked her up + no content anymore etc etc.

*sad noises*

Oh, I totally feel you. In fact, I was actually thinking just days before getting your message about how the more time passes since Rakepick’s last appearance, the less exciting the story becomes. I mean, meeting her in Azkaban and seeing her in Olivia’s memories were easily the most interesting moments of Y7. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they were good. MC in Azkaban was beyond ridiculous and they really messed up Olivia’s backstory. Also, both situations led us literally to nowhere. But there was that moment when I was like: “Oh, it might be good!”, and it made me think again.

And I think it comes down to Rakepick being basically the essence of what this story was supposed to be about. I know I’m super biased when it comes to her, but… think about it. HPHM used to be the question: “What happened to Jacob and what role the Cursed Vaults played in it?”. Rakepick was in a unique position where she was joining the past and the present – and she had the answer. On top of that, she was delightfully mysterious about it. I guess that’s partially why JC decided to ruin her and get rid of her altogether. Because otherwise, she’d have to reveal the truth eventually. And that means the end of the game – and JC obviously doesn’t want that.

JAM CITY BANNING ME WOULD NEVER KILL OFF LILY. BEHOLD JAMCITY. I AM UNSTOPPABLE

Lily is unstoppable. There's no killing her, not when she's got no less than four horcru-I mean, four accounts, that she can use for her revival. With the power of kickass piercings, and the wisdom of the almighty Patterslink, nothing will stand in her way!

Weekly Dragon Spotlight: Sharp Ridgesnipper 🪩🦖

Another hybrid, and one I’ve used in my B Team, this dragon is a great addition to any team, with a good hard hit and a physique to match.

I like how it looks like if a T-Rex got fitted with some Tony Stark wings and back armor! Iron Rex!

I really hope this post can help spread my love of this dragon, and hopefully I’ll see more players utilizing this kind of hybrid in the Thawfest Games!

I also really enjoyed how JamCity describes this dragon as a kind of sneaky almost Red October type of creature. Never know their moves, never know their actions, so cool!

Am i jamcity's favorite or what.

[darkstarshine]

And here we go AGAIN. The love triangle shit. Stop that, Jamcity and Ludia.

Don't y'all f*cking dare to pull another Liam/Min-jae vs Maknae shit on us again.

[harrypotterhogwartshitpost]

I've said is before and I'll say it again:

We should have gotten Charlie's quidditch jersey for his max friendship reward

[missnight0wl]

I'm torn between wanting Callum to be disguised Jacob but if that doesn't happen (because JamCity won't recognize a good idea even if it bit them in the nose), I hope we will get to smooch him. The only adult man in MC's life who hasn't disappointed them with incompetence (yet). The bar is so low an ant can crawl under it easily.

YES, HE DESERVES A SMOOCH! 💖

I mean, considering that MC still looks like a child it might feel a little “yikes” (even though MC is technically 17-18 now, so I don’t think there’s that big age difference between them). But he absolutely could get a platonic smooch! And I assume that’s what you meant, seeing how you mentioned adult men in MC’s life.

Or at least a hug. C’mon. Give me at least a hug. Callum deserves a hug, and MC needs a hug.

Anyway, I’m happy you like the idea of disguised Jacob! But yeah, I feel similar about Jam City as you, so I try not to get my hopes too high. Still, a girl can dream, right?

(Also, personally, I’d smooch Callum either way, but shhh… 👀)

[bioblljjh]

Très intéressant vraiment mais ça a l'air trop bien pour Jamcity je ne pense pas qu'ils puissent faire une histoire aussi intéressante

The Boys but Hogwarts Mystery or something idk

I’m tempted to make additional HPHM character, but everything in story will be taken literally, seriously and in an extremely completionist way.

Let me explain why…

MC is a superhuman. Bio product. Artificially created by government with the help of Dai Ryusaki’s researches. Even Dumbledore is in cahoots with that.

MC is set to cultivate multiple skills - becomes an animagus, enhances their legilimency, does absolutely every chore and event planning around Hogwarts, befriends nearly entire school and solves their problems, becomes Prefect and later Head Girl/Boy, passes OWLs and NEWTs in all O’s, plays and wins the entirety of Quidditch, makes any creature bow and tremble before them, closes every Cursed Vault, becomes a master Duelist, does every investigation for Hogsmeade ever, singlehandly runs and supervises the Clubs, keeps Forbidden Forest in tact, gains obscure titles and achievements for breakfast, does half of the work for both Ministry and St. Mungo.

Not to mention that they also have to deal with at least 8 people having a crush on them.

And all that in a span of 7 Years. Under Dumbledore’s careful watch and guidance.

For best efficiency MC’s “parents” are ordered to distant themselves from MC as much as possible, so MC develops immunity to stress on their own, and Merlin forbid they develop any human feelings or emotions. That’s why MC’s mother is so absent in their life throughout school years.

But the father? Oh, the father.

Peregrine. Peregrine is in fact, is a previous failed experiment. We know from their dialogue with Dumbledore - Peregrine had a painfully similar to MC school life. But somewhere along those years, up to Wizarding War something went wrong. He gained his own consciousness and woke up from Ministry’s influence on him. He found out what he is, and set himself to go against Ministry.

Dai Ryusaki was not a dark wizard, but we found out he feared his own inventions and attempted to prevent others from using it as it was dangerous. Peregrine’s curse has nothing to do with that amulet he’s carrying around, or anything from the outside. Peregrine’s curse occurred inside him because of the experiment and it IS what went wrong.

Peregrine made an underground organization and wants to take Ministry down for what they did to him, and now he gradually can’t take a single sneeze without aggravating himself and setting Ryusaki’s Fury off.

But what about MC? Peregrine can’t tell MC about their true nature. He fears to set MC’s fury as well, and doesn’t wish that upon them. Instead, he attempts to give MC bits of what Ministry took from them - he rebels against Ministry’s ways and dumps at least some parental affections to them. Although he fails at it because there’s so little time left before MC graduates and Ministry will inevitably snatch them to work for them and use as a weapon, and Peregrine is between 5 fires himself. All he can do is rushed and sometimes outright dangerous to himself and others decisions, that are more often than not taken over by R Fury without him even realizing that.

He knows he’s cursed. But he doesn’t always know when it’s showing. And he can’t accept any help because of his big “main character” ego. Despite all that he still dare I say, loves his kids and wants to prevent them from, in his eyes - greater evil.

What about others in the story?

Rakepick is a government experiment that went rogue as well. But she developed a lot more murderous and sociopathic tendencies, and possibly without use of Ryusaki’s research. While Peregrine and MC are set to charm and gather people around, Rakepick is not. She was meant to be efficient worker, problem solver. Until she became a problem…

She was sent to take Peregrine down. She pretended to join R on her own terms, and was meant to dismantle it and their Leader. She would go to any extent, and because of her frivolity she would even take down MC to hit Peregrine where it hurts. But it happened so, that someone else took the blow for MC and we know how that ends…

Rakepick wanted MC down, because she thought MC will end up like Peregrine. She’s not concerned about Ministry’s interests, she thinks that she knows better. However, after everything that went down, during Azkaban events, she sees and realizes where she was wrong, and just simply states that MC “has a good heart, and shouldn’t loose it”.

That concludes her character and her arc.

Jacob was not raised to be Ministry’s secret weapon. He gained a lot of similar to MC talent on his own, but he has too much free will and acts rather emotionally than rationally. That’s why Ministry dismisses him, as they simply don’t see potential in him.

Jacob does a bit of a better job at giving MC family experience, right under Ministry’s nose. Although, it’s still not perfect obviously. And, Jacob acts on the matters on his own, and gets hurt a lot, making mistakes that are inherent if you’re a human being.

Despite turning most of attention to MC for reasons stated above, Peregrine cares about Jacob as well. He desperately wants to be a normal human being, a father at that. Jacob wants to have his family as well. It just happened so, that their family is in this big of a mess.

MC’s mom is a mindless Ministry drone, I will not elaborate, we will never see her.

Who and why joins R? Why are people of R are so against the government, that they are willing to work with Peregrine?

R members we seen were walked over by government in one way or another. They all seem to be typical denizens of Knockturn Alley, but they end up there not because they’re inherently evil. But because, if in this world you fail at following the system - you end up at the bottom. They have no choice, but to live like this, because the system doesn’t give them another chance. Or, they suddenly do have a choice, and it’s to join an organization. It’s not perfect, it doesn’t have your best interests in mind. But it promises to stick it to Ministry, right?

And now, when majority of your organization are these people, they will inevitably do something stupid. So, when you send someone like Shiratori to retrieve your kids, someone like Shiratori will do something stupid, like attack them, or have 0 diplomacy and talking skills.

That’s why R appears to be an evil Cabal. They may not have “bad” intentions, but they just don’t possess better skills and are full of spite and grudge.

Snape: IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, MC

[indigobackfire]

I get so caught up in hphm's story and characters that I forget it's all built to sell us a game. It's not made to be a compelling story, it's made to get us hooked on a game, then sell us stuff through that.

Anyway, here's a video of a guy that works on JamCity talking about writing for games and... I feel like such a clown that I fell right into the 'emotional investment' trap. They get us emotionally attached to the point that it isn't holding up to the quality it had in the beginning but we're still here because of the characters.

It almost makes me sick to think of stories written no longer with the purpose of telling a compelling story a person (or a group of people) needs to share and eventually sell, but from its conception, it's made with fandom culture (and money) on their minds.

This story is not supposed to be a free2play mobile, in the beginning, it made sense, but how will we move on to an interesting end when these games are made to last for hundreds of levels? This is not like those Choices games where you have dozens of other stories to play once you finish that one - this is one long ass story in an annoying format that is boring to play through again.

He said there, characters were designed to be easy to fanart/cosplay. (Diego's clothes, Merula hair streak, he uses them as examples).

I feel like such a clown for feeling emotional about a story, somebody before me treated it as a product.

What I mean to say is, don't play this game if you haven't already. Go watch someone play on youtube or whatever and play some better game.
