let's talk about where you want to see the game go

choo choo

Chugga chugga~

are people not in the game allowed to have input?

ROB is totally the NPC butler

HNNNNNNNGH

like two years ago I had a dream where I went to Smash Academy except instead of a school it was a big fancy mansion/castle

I'M PSYCHIC

this is an open discussion, yes! but when it comes to making a decision on whether or not we will actually change the setting/theme of the game, we'll defer to current player input

Wow I just realized I've been in this game for five years

TIME FLIES, DOESN'T IT

Omg..........

Pertinent to reiterate that nothing is set in stone! We just want to talk about possible directions to take the game in.

So is it more like adding more communities into the mix? But it's all still the same continuity?

it would be an overhaul of the game

same continuity though. or not! if you wanted to start fresh with a dude

Okay cool. I LIKE

I just saw smash_gaiden and I grinned

So would it be effectively evolving into a more typical modern DWRP game, as opposed to the school format?

ayup, more adventure, still humor and lightheartedness

Basically, we're broadening the horizons

lighthearted

I think that's cool. I've thought it would be nice to have a Nintendo/Video Games RP with a more adventure-based setting. The rebranding will be tough I think. Are you trying to sell it as a new game or just

a coat of paint?

We would plan to make new communities, start "fresh" with aesthetics but current players will be able to retain their memories and the like, the history will be there but the game would move forward into

setting

current players wouldn't need to reapp, etc.

we would probably do some kind of event to christen this ICly

Smash rising: revengeance

sold

perfect

I have so many ideas

how do i communicate them

/rushes off to try

but we totally need to have beating each other up be part of the game because if there's no smashin' i'm dashin'

i'd love to start RP again but a school setting is not preferable for my characters

maybe theres still classes and stuff, but exclusively fighting ones? or its not mandatory and a small part of the game or something, with lots of other stuff going on

if there's anything of that sort, we'd leave it up to the characters to facilitate

if they want to offer training lessons or something

So if I wanted, could Boxing CLub still be around?

it'd be up to you/mac to organize and run!

boxing club'd probably be pretty useful if there's a shift to a more fighting/action/survival...? theme

I think if the island moves to various worlds, where potentially dangerous things await, it's reasonable that more fighting adept characters might hold classes for people anyway.

Lots of spare rooms in a mansion

That's what I'm thinking, giving them more of a setting to work with yeeee

But I would miss the stadium as a setting...

i think the stadium should be on the island

we can bring the stadium with us tbh, just blow it out of the ground and make it float

epic

because no matter what i think the characters should be expected to fight

I agree. It would being back the Smash in Smash.

Oh woah...I noticed that with current players, they'd be able to have their characters keep their memories, but what about people that used to be in the game?

Like...I really want to come back with Sable and Watt, but if I were to come back after the overhaul, I'd still really like them to keep their memories.

sure

My guess is that the same would apply to them if you wanted it to if it's a re-app?

it appears I did not scroll completely down

thanks broswer

*browser

thanks me

rolls OUT

yes

is it possible to have a top-level in the discussion post just for overall thoughts? I'm trying to put my thoughts in order but I'm not sure how to divvy it into the existing categories

sure

also just to get an overall impression of what everyone feels

thanks <3

yeah! go for it

Goood good good good, I was really hoping I could keep my characters' memories if I come back after the overhaul. Thanks so much, guys!

oh wait, should people just comment top-level for overall thoughts, or should it be an official category?

nah you can post your own top levels for miscellany thoughts

oh okay, good to know

I know I'd like to see it where non-human characters can just stay that way, no human form needed

though that might already be a thing now

That is already the case, yes

holy cow

i read this last night actually but i'm still working on fully understanding everything!

new things are cool

I also like new things and am pumped for the coming changes. Whatever you guys decide to do, you have my full support. I'm looking forward to it! I'm sorry I don't really have any actual helpful feedback, tho

A new PREMISE subthread has been added!

and it probably should go without saying but we can't account for discussion that happens on plurk. If you want to make sure your opinion is seen and heard you should comment to the post. Thank you!
