I made some interesting contacts and it looks like the RPG app project is definitely going to go forward in some form. As I mentioned before, I decided to have my first RPG app also finally realize the Raspberry Heaven project I started some time ago, a game for slice of life stories about high school girls in the vein of Azumanga Daioh and Hidamari Sketch. The prior versions never quite worked out, and the RPG app is going to follow my prior intention to restructure the game with some vital inspiration from Fiasco.
“Raspberry Heaven Practice Test” is my analog proof of concept for the eventual app version of the game. Because the actual app will take advantage of the ability to automate stuff that would be awkward for people to do, this is necessarily simplified in some places, but shows the basic chassis of the game and how I envision its gameplay working. If you’re interested in this project, please take a look and let me know what you think. To play you’ll want to print up the included reference sheets and have a pack of regular playing cards.
Don’t have anyone to play with right now, but the rules appear to be sound and interesting. Good luck with this!
Very cool idea! Not sure I’ll ever find myself actually playing the game, but I’m very interested in seeing the final result since it’s so “out there.”
Are you doing all the design/coding work yourself?
I’m going to be doing the core game design and writing, but we’ll be getting others to do artwork, coding, and graphic design.
