How can it be about homebrewing an rpg if nobodies done it? Again, your list has nothing to do with vtubing or even /vt/, even /vtwbg/ managed to stay on topic by being clear why things like scientific law and narrative writing was discussed. This is just a clobbered together list of things the thread likes, there is no central unifying thing that makes it on topic and unifies it under a singular purpose.

The singular purpose is to have fun by worldbuilding in the context of the vtuber hobby.
Also, please refer to >>53178891 if you want it to be better. You want shit done, you have to do it yourself. But of course you won't, because I have a feeling you're the same anon that's been crying himself to sleep about the OP for the last 3 threads without actually doing anything of substance.

>>53180343
If the OP was worth anything than the thread might actually reach bump limit and have lore posted as opposed to these embarrassing floundering attempts to stay relevant. It's 90% bumps and no lore and the thread still manages to go under, not even an attempt at discussion. The reason why there's no lore is because the OP doesn't know what it's supposed to be and is grasping at straws looking at what actual contributors did in the past to try and cobble a purpose from that.
>The singular purpose is to have fun by worldbuilding in the context of the vtuber hobby.

Anon, I'm not sure I can imagine an OP that would give people the drive to worldbuild, it's a pretty niche hobby.

>>53183164
It doesn't blanket the purpose of the thread in this obscure cloud of seperating itself from vtwbg while doing the same thing. We don't need a super catchy or eye drawing OP, look at the last thread and see how well that helped it. It went like 20 hours without a single lore post before dying despite people popping in to say how they thought /whore/ was funny.
If we're changing the thread name then we should be equally blunt about what's actually supposed to change about thread. Right now the only thing different is that I'm pretty sure some people that used to bump the thread aren't doing so anymore because they can't find it. We either stay vtwbg or we become something new, trying to change the name but stay the same is only going to speed run vtwbg's death until something new takes is place.

[Anonymous No.]

Tourist here.
I still don't understand the point of this general and what meaningfully separates it from just being /wg/ 2. I get from the OP that you effectively have 3 autism projects with loose canons but other than that is this expanding scope to discussing chuuba lore/kayfabe? Or is this still focused on those doing community setting projects?
I know you guys had to do the rename since the old general kind of had a shit reputation but is this an expanding of scope or just a rename?

[Anonymous No.]

>>53183777
But anon, discussion, writing, and parody of vtuber lore and the state of the Virtual Youtuber board is already exactly what vtwbg was doing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53183993
It's kind of both. The scope of vtwbg kind of naturally expanded as people came in who wanted to do stuff besides working on the main project, and the new OP represents that expansion in scope. I'd say the main difference with /wg/ is a focus on chuuba lore, chuuba-related events, and /vt/ culture as opposed to stories starring the chuuba as main characters. Maybe the OP could get that across better?

[Anonymous No.]

>>53184386
So you guys are trying to dodge the curse on your generals name and trying to expand scope to try and stay alive.
I'm not sure it's gonna work since I'm going to be honest here, the fucking setting documents are basically impenetrable to casual reading, and the lore angle is unlikely to get anyone in that won't get scared off by the introductory post and just ask it in their oshi's thread while she's off stream.
Best of luck to this general but you fuckers might want to shop around to see if you can merge with another general cause I went diving through the last few threads and it was mostly bumps and discussion about how to keep this place alive with barely any actual setting discussion or comments about lore posts made.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53183993
>>53184029
This is what I mean.
One of the big issues with /vtwbg/ was that it was part /wg/ and part homebrew and struggled to find an identity that didn't rely on individual writers. The biggest issue with making a parody of vt is that you're inevitably just going to turn into wg unless you go all in on the cancerous aspects of the board, a lot of vtwbg writing was totally disconnected from vt as well and was more based on that individual aspect rather than anything regarding the board. I assumed that when discussion about changing vtwbg to lore or log or whore was going on that the name change was more than surface level, an actual attempt at remaking vtwbg but with a very firm identity of its own and part of that was a defined purpose and structure that vtwbg lacked which led to so many of its different issues. These past threads haven't shown any recognition of this goal at all, it feels more like they've been made out of an obligation to have a thread up rather than to do anything to help the thread.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53185670
>do anything to help the thread
Alright, and what would you do?

[Anonymous No.]

>>53185780
First?
Finish the discussion about what the thread should be focused on and how it should be organized. In fact, we should finish the discussion as to whether or not we should change the name in the first place.
If we do decide to change the name, we need to have an OP that reflects that change and to lay the cards on the table openly. Vitubia is no longer "the base setting" everyone has admitted that its a bloated mess with way too much and way too little harmony. Lay the maps on the table, hell I think it would be a fun and engaging thing to chart the development of Vitubia and have it be laid out to explain to newcomers how this shit came to be. After? Then we can start making new settings and helping each other out, like that one haaton that stumbled in here for advice on their own setting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53185780
NTA but if you guys still want to survive while still keeping the "heritage" alive. Then your best bet is embracing being the deranged cousin of /wg/ and see if you can live as a writing community that writes and reads each other's works while comment with critique. Though given the nature of the setting you're all working with and the fact that the thread wants to decentralize having a canon to unite everything... Good luck to the writers that still stick here and provide OC.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53186541
So bloat the next few threads with discussions that do not matter at all and will inevitably do nothing, got it.

>>53187746
>bloat the next few threads with discussions that do not matter at all and will inevitably do nothing
Literally either do that or stop makin new threads while not writing lore. There's like three people that still write lore, you can make an argument for maybe two or three more but that's it. The thread has never been sustained by lore alone it's the discussion of lore that's kept it up and the discussion of how to go about lore that's kept it up. This dialogue, if you want to call it that, is blunt evidence that discussion regardless of its nature is more relevant to the thread staying up than lore posts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53186578
I've been hanging out in /wg/ for a few threads and it's honestly blowing my mind how there's multiple people actually reading and critically reacting to stuff being posted there. I feel like even when we went through two threads a day that didn't happen in /vtwbg/, OC just got buried in some back and forth.
Speaking of lore, I posted some last thread, dozo.

>discussion of lore
And this is that?

[Anonymous No.]

>>53190828
Not at all but its discussion related to writing lore at the very least. We've never been good at actually critically discussing lore because alot of the time it ends up being a discussion about the overall writing habits of the thread and lore and such. Most discussion we have here can be summed up as "oh thats cool, that makes me think of this related concept" and usually ends within 4 posts or so.

[Anonymous No.]

>>53191298
So do that then. Who gives a fuck if the entire thread is just short bursts of lore discussion and bumps, at least you fuckers would be on topic. Spending 5 hours to argue about how the OP of all things doesn't fit into some faggots headcanon is actually pathetic. Like ffs, who cares if OP is x or y if the first thing a tourist will see is a completely off topic argument? How hard is it to just stay in your lane and write lore? And no, don't reply to this, this convo is over, go write lore niggers.

>>53191298
I'm starting to think most of our discussions in our heyday consisted of more experienced worldbuilders helping the neophytes, or people telling other people something is wrong with their OC, or just general timelooping and schizoposting. Now that the thread is only experienced worldbuilders, and that we've removed canon restrictions so that it doesn't make sense to badger people about canon, and that we don't timeloop and schizopost... Well, all that's left is the two people worldbuilding chatting about their current work for a bit with the rest of the day filled with bumps. It seems like that's just the only way things can be, unless other people start making OC to chat about. Or the board becomes as slow as /tg/. Or the 10 other IPs find something else to discuss.

I attempted to post in a game creation thread over there at /g/ but I found the thread to be full of haters. Just to clarify this, I'm not saying people should be kissing my ass because I made some shitty minigame, but when I mostly received replies in the style of "cringe", "lmao cuck" and "that's a man with a voice changer" I figured this is not the place to share my hobby.

As for ideas, I'm currently hovering the idea of a EverybodyEdits sort of game (except no multiplayer) for my oshi.

>Upon Reading Song and Dance + Awakening
I am some ways into this and I am hit with the sense that this is written with quality befitting of a novelized work or at minimum, the draft of one.
Anyways, before I finish reading this I ought to give two critiques, one being that there are too many links to different sources and sub documents, it's not actually all that bad since clicking a link and learning something new is pretty cool but it comes at the cost of pacing if I'm not already familiar with the subject of the wiki and certain links are almost redundant and are already inferred by the topic (link about the spinal columns and phantom pains come to mind as examples). Some sections you do real good at letting imagination take hold so that meaning can be inferred and others it seems like you might be hesitant to trust that the reader will comprehend or understand the specifics of what you're saying.
I said I ought to give two, truth is I don't actually have another. Shill your work more brazenly since this is absolute kino, in fact, I honestly think you should try reposting this in /wg/ to see what kind of response it gets and if my words are backed up by other peers.
>Upon reading Insertion + Infusion
My biggest critique here is that the dialogue is somewhat hard to follow due to the heavy accent, there aren't alot of ways in order to do accents in written works and having a part where Tuval explicitly describes what Ailbhe's accent is like would probably have taken away from your intended depiction of it so I can understand why it was done the way it was, I'm curious as to if you had a kind of translation of what Ailbhe was saying or if you'd written it directly as the accented form. I'd also add that Ailbhe is kind of a hard to understand in terms of pronunciation.
Anyways, holy shit this is fantastic. This would have much less effect if I was not aware of previously discussed sapling lore or of the kind of blanket info that exists through lots of open discussions but you're intertwining of the Cradle concept in order to act as a means of progressing the plot while also characterizing Tuval and Ailbhe is some real gourmet shit. I feel like the depiction of chuubanite as a magic crystal/rock is horrendously overdone and making Faunanite appear in the form of tea leaves is a great idea, not just for switching common perception up but also for attaining a level of imagery without the specific need for description, I can imagine the smell of these leaves without it needing to be described to me and in my mind as I'm reading, I'm also mentally understanding the idea of how enticing Ailbhe is towards this kind of deal. Alec's situation also doesn't need to be spelled out for me to understand it although that might just be my own background knowledge on Sapling development and the nature of Morinium radiation. This is phenomenal in terms of incorporating lore in a narrative sense
>Inception
Based pink supremacy nanora.
This chapter introduces many interesting concepts and I think it balances just enough on the line of letting the reader make their own assumptions as to what a definition might mean while allowing enough direct links to heighten the enjoyment and intrigue of the set piece. Despite remembering alot of these discussions and I believe being a part of some of them myself, I'm surprised and delighted by the creativity of the concepts you use here. The Daemon's IQ being a factor in how much strain is put on a pilot is based as fuck. So much of this is based as fuck that I can only really say again, if you're not already working on writing to publish, absolutely consider it.
I have no real critique's this chapter outside of having a bit of an issue visualizing everything on the battlefield in specifics however that might just be my coffee and not the fault of the work itself.
To conclude: This shit is amazing and is gonna be my example of what to strive for should I make a serious attempt at writing a sci-fi narrative for /ctv40k/ and my biggest criticism is that you're not violently shilling this in the thread. It might actually be my favorite story for the thread in recent memory although it relies somewhat on a bit of background info beforehand to fully appreciate all the small details peppered in. Kudos nanora.

We kind of need something to get the ball rolling for talks about Roleplaying Games and their implementation with the lore that we have here. Dunno if sticking with the World of Darkness would be better than trying for a system like GURPS or not, I've only played VTM and have middling experience with GURPS though seeing how much variety has been pulled from both systems makes me curious as to the possible modifications we could do. I guess first things first is how much of the proposed system would be based around combat and how much would be based around social interaction and complication.

I'm mostly focusing on browser games right now because let's be honest, is your oshi going to download and run an .exe file some random person on twitter sent her? Probably not. So right off the bat I discarded any language other than javascript. The thing is, though, if I ever come to a point where I think I need more cpu juice I can switch from javascript to java (keep reading) with very little effort and make something faster.

As for the engine I'm using, it's not really an engine but it's called p5js. As I said it's not really an engine but it's kind of a framework for "creative coding", if you go to their website and see their demos you'll know what I mean. p5js is a javascript port of Processing, which is the same thing but in Java. So if I ever need more processing power I can port the p5js code to Processing code (I think) and it should run much faster using Java.

I made this rhythm mini-game inspired by a tweet this girl made in which she was making her character twerk to the beat of a song and it gave me the idea. Here she is reacting to it and playing it. Sorry it's in Spanish and I haven't gotten around to sub it but you can kind of guess what she's saying. https://files.catbox.moe/42kzoz.mp4

https://sleepless-nts.github.io/ShuraMoto/
And then I had the idea to make a game inspired by one of those old flash games called Trial Bike. Remember those? This was a pain in the ass to make and I was never satisfied by it but whatever, I tweeted it to her and she said she wants to play it on stream. Also this game was kind of special because I got some help from anons in the general where we discuss these girls, since one helped me with the AI generated illustration and another one helped with the 8-bit music adaptation. That was pretty cool and it almost felt like a community project.

As for future ideas, one my gaming passions has always been platformer games and I'm hovering the idea of a game like EverybodyEdits (except no multiplayer).

I respect it, based. The best stack is the one where you can actually complete projects, so I'd say you're doing pretty well. It's almost criminal that the rhythm game stops right before the kino breakdown though kek. The moto game's physics could use a bunch of scripting of the physics, I assume that's part of why you weren't fully satisfied with it. The good news is that a platformer doesn't have anything as fiddly as free body physics involved. Those tend to fairly simple compared the rest of the mechanics and all the tiles you're gonna code in.

I mean this is complete amateur gamedev here but those two systems seem like they're almost too crunchy to start as a base unless you're explicitly working to make an adaptation of the rules to work for the setting you have here for a game. Maybe a better direction would be to go for genre emulation by way of taking notes from PbtA/Fate or saying fuck it and just making a D&D hack with some changes based off of the setting and flavor reworked off of that.

The linking of other stuff is definitely a bit of a slippery slope. It's tempting to throw in a bunch of references to weird shit and just link something that explains it to save myself the trouble, but as you say it kind of breaks up the flow of the reading. Maybe it's a bit of a crutch at times.
Oh yeah, the accent conundrum. That's always a dilemma. Immersionkino, or readability? I'm never sure I'm happy with my decision after kek. My first draft was actually a bit heavier on the scottish drawl, so I'm glad I toned it down. Chatting with sapling was definitely a huge help for this chapter, that's my favorite part of this project I think. Drawing ideas from other people just injects perspectives and elements that I'd never think of on my own. I'm also a big fan of moving chuubanite outside of the rock, into bones, acorns or tea. Although the Mt Mori diamond is one of the more egregious examples of "chuubanite as a gem" kek. I'm pretty excited about where Ailbhe's arc ends up going, I set up some hooks in there.
Pink power nanora. Writing battle scenes is usually a bit intense. There's so much happening and I'm always drawn towards describing the action to an unreadable minutiae of details even though the text is stronger being a bit more to the point. It's probably obvious given my recent contributions, but I've had a lot of fun brainstorming Daemon mechanics and workings, I kinda have to hold myself back from just exposition dumping info on them in the text kek. Works better to pepper it in.
The "More capable machine = more pilot strain" is definitely a common trope (it's not intentional, but I'm pretty sure my subconscious came up with that based on Permet Scores from the latest Gundam), but I'm happy with my implementation.
I kinda want to make a cute drawing of the battlefield kek, maybe that would help with visualization. What style might a Lunaito corvette have?
Thanks for the general praise, I appreciate it. I think there are plenty of writers better than me in the thread. Among the recently active ones, I'd suggest you read the ongoing /vnug/ story if you haven't, it's been a great source of inspiration and motivation.

>What style might a Lunaito corvette have?
pic related is a very good approximation, the mast would be similar to a knight's helmet however like the Metaknight Halberd. I imagine lunaito corvettes to be formatted around principles of absolute aggression with an expectation of high impact ramming maneuvers and extremely close quarters combat to go into their design
I've been keeping my eye on the /vnug/ space stories but lately I've been slowing down a fair bit and considering alot of my own lore and haven't gotten around to giving it the fair look over that it deserves. I do remember giving some feedback on them but they were very light and not at all as detailed as it deserves.

I was really inspired years ago by the work of this guy on youtube. He makes videos on different topics with either Processing or its javascript counterpart p5js. You can see a playlist here but you can browse his channel and find topics that interest you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HerCR8bw_GE&list=PLRqwX-V7Uu6Zy51Q-x9tMWIv9cueOFTFA

Processing and p5js are really good to get you started because you can jump right in with ideas like
> ok I can draw a rectangle how do I make it move?
> I guess I can store its position in two variables and just increment them each frame
> so how can I make it bounce? Maybe reverse the increment when X reaches 400
And things like that. Play around with it, see if it starts to click.

Yeah the physics engine has a bunch of different parameters you can tweek like restitution, friction, mass, etc and they all come together to make the objects move. I really struggled to find good parameters for the different parts of the simulation. If I increased the mass of the rear wheel then I couldn't get it to pick up enough speed to make good jumps, and with less mass the rear wheel is way too bouncy. Idk, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the end result because the bike is a little difficult to control since the rear wheel ended up being too bouncy. I'd say about half of the dev time was spent between tweeking parameters back and forth and most of the remaining time was spent on the level editor.

Hopefully a platformer isn't such a pain to make.

Might have needed to give the wheels a bit of a suspension and/or make the ground softer. It can be a bit unexpected, but copying real-world values is often a good approach for an initial attempt. But yeah, that's definitely the physics-based game experience. I've made a few platformers (on godot and unreal) and they're definitely less annoying, though there's always a bunch of tweaking for any game with free movement like that.
