ive been wistfully thinking about making some kind of kaiji koi-koi fic bc im kinda insane about koi-koi in a way im not for any other games (and the way you'd need to be to make a vaguely fukumoto-typical game) but ive been stuck on the fact that like,, games where you form hands are really hard to keep track of in text-only formats. the flow is either super bogged down by constantly listing them or people get lost bc you cannot communicate that information quickly and simply like you can with visuals (a reflection that's helped me appreciate gambling manga as a concept a bit better) (this is also harder with koi-koi specifically bc there aren't number designations, so no 1-pin or 3 of hearts, which might make things a little easier to follow) BUT i also didn't want to draw potentially hundreds of pages of fan comic about this. but talking to nyarla i realized i can just.. put images in an ao3 post. i can show the hands visually every turn if ppl need a reference quickly and easily without having to think about panelling and flow and drawing hands and shit. anyway we might be so back you guys im so happy
#like i havent looked at any kaiji fic so idk how like.. common it is for people to make their own games?#but something so reliant on visual information as mahjong or koi-koi or idk rummy would be hard#and i imagine a lot of ppl would instead go for less visually dependent games (like brave men road or even one poker)#BUT THIS COULD WORK. LIKE I FEEL THIS COULD FEASIBLY HAPPEN SOMEDAY#bc ive been thinking about different strategies and playstyles and the assumptions kaiji would make#(though i havent come up with any gimmicks or cheats.. tbh i might just stick to them playing regular honest koi-koi bc i like it a lot(#but yeah im like!! excited!! it's probably never going to happen but im happy that like#that roadblock is gone and it's no longer impossible. daydream maintained!!#fkmt#kaijiposting#fun fact immediately after posting this i went theough the koi koi tag on here for shits and gigs and like#found someone who wanted an explanation and spent Way Too Long trying to explain the rules of koi-koi#anyway i hope they uh still want those. my point is im so abnormal about it. beloved card game#it just scratches my brain really well idk#didn't help the procrastination though eeeyikes!!!
