Designer Spotlight: Masahiro Sakurai

wolfmanjew

Competition is the source of fun in video games. Deciding the winner and loser in a face-off, fighting enemy characters, comparing your progress in a game with your friend’s, or trying to beat the high score of another player you’ve never even seen before are all competition. While there’s no doubt that competition makes games fun, how you perceive losing depends on the person. For example, as a game designer you cannot ignore the fact players who have an unpleasant experience where they lose may begin to dislike, or tire of, your game. Even if that isn’t the case, in … Continue reading Designer Spotlight: Masahiro Sakurai

Werewolf 21 Day 6: A Missing Head

lutair

The Demonslayers went home knowing more than they ever have about each other, and yet having fewer companions than ever before. As was their pattern, several of the strange members went back to the school as the night went on. As Jake Forge walked through the street leading toward Miumina High, she heard someone following her. “I know you’re there,” she said, turning around and activating her magician’s clothing. The demon didn’t respond, but walked into her view. “You?! I trusted you!” she shouted, creating an ice spike and throwing it at the demon. The body of her friend smiled … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 6: A Missing Head

Werewolf 21 Day 5: Shattered Friends

lutair

As the Demonslayer club went home, Makku Kuro was called to his boss’s office. Principal Lutair sat behind his desk, glasses gleaming. “Your club members keep dying,” Pricipal Lutair said. “I know. I need more supplies. All I have are some bandages,” replied Nurse Kuro. “Permission denied. Shape it up with what you have or lose your job,” replied Principal Lutair. Makku grew frustrated, “I’m a healer, but they’re dead by the time I get there. I can’t fix that!” he argued, nearly shouting. “That will be all, Nurse Kuro. Also, your request for a raise is denied.” Makku left … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 5: Shattered Friends

Werewolf 21 Day 4: The Last Prank

lutair

Night fell and a few members of Muimina High’s Demonslayer club snuck back into the school. One in particular was up to no good. Indy Bender snuck through the halls into the Demonslayer club. He went to a few desks, messing with something. As he snuck out, he met with a familiar face. “Oh hey, I forgot my bag so I– wait what are you doing here so late?” There was no response. “Don’t tell me you’re a–” Indy’s question was cut short as he was grabbed by the neck. The next morning, the Demonslayers went to their club room. … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 4: The Last Prank

Werewolf 21 Day 3: Charred Remains

lutair

Monday night dragged on as the stranger members of the Demonslayer club went about their business. Some time around 1 A.M., a janitor heard some strange noises emanating from the computer lab. “Who goes there?” asked the gruff janitor through his mustache. “Oh it’s just me, Shippu Genki, working late on some projects. I really wanna get these hoverglasses to work.” “Past closin’ time,” replied the janitor, gesturing to the clock. “I know I just need to adjust–” Shippu stopped mid-sentence, his screwdriver dropped from his hand. “DUCK!” he shouted, but it was too late. A sphere of flame burned … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 3: Charred Remains

Werewolf 21 Day 2: A Throne of Corpses

lutair

The weekend came and everyone at the Demonslayer club tried to do their normal activities. The face of a robot realizing it didn’t want to die haunted them… well, most of them. As Monday approached, a few of the club members made their way to the school; some for their various studies and activities, others for strange motives and a few for sinister intentions. On Monday morning, they found the results of a few members’ hard work. In the club room was a throne of various body parts. Legs made up the arms and legs of the throne while torsos … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 2: A Throne of Corpses

Werewolf 21 Day 1: Death of the Protag

lutair

Muimina High School was just your average run-of-the-mill high school. It had its weirdos, nerds, jocks, et cetera, but nothing too bizarre. That is, until demons attacked. A portal to the Seven Hells opened up in the boys locker room one fateful winter. A group of students and staff members fought these demons off over a season and now they must make up the time missed in their after school “Demonslayer Club”. It sounded pretty cool on the outside, but it mostly involved studying for finals and making up for lost class time. Things went back to normal until one … Continue reading Werewolf 21 Day 1: Death of the Protag

Time for another game of Werewolf! Like last time I hosted, there will be a vote for which theme we have. Please include which theme(s) you’d prefer when you sign up.

Werewolf XX: WOLF COPS 2 – The Wolfening (DAY SIX)

TheAvocado

DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU AREN’T PLAYING. If you’d like to comment on the game, make a request here and I’ll give you a link to the graveyard QT. There’s an old saying in the newspaper business. If it bleeds, it leads. Well, there’s no story today because in an unexpected turn of events for Avocado Town, nobody died last night. Unless of course you count the thing in Detective Creeper’s basement dying a slow, elaborate death. In related news, the detectives attempted an exorcism on Detective Mello’s body. Mello’s eyes widened and dark circles formed around them. His eyeballs shrunk … Continue reading Werewolf XX: WOLF COPS 2 – The Wolfening (DAY SIX)

DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU AREN’T PLAYING. If you’d like to comment on the game, make a request here and I’ll give you a link to the graveyard QT. Detective Felixir hadn’t had much experience elsewhere before joining the precinct and he approached each new day on the job with the wide-eyed innocence of toddler equipped with basic knowledge of right and wrong. Like his fellow rookie officer Guesty (God rest his soul), Felixir was quickly becoming known as a stickler for procedure – much to the derision of some of his more experienced colleagues. They would observe often that he … Continue reading Werewolf XX: WOLF COPS 2 – The Wolfening (DAY FOUR)

WOLF COPS 2 – The Wolfening (Signups)

TheAvocado

Avocado Town had been without a functioning police department for almost a year. All remaining officers on the force had to be summarily fired and presented with the opportunity to apply for their jobs back. The Mare had to bring in a new police chief and she was determined to reform the precinct from the ground up. Unfortunately, she had to hire from a pool of citizens of the Avocado – a cesspool of crime and skulldoggery. There’s no telling what manner of degenerates, loose-cannons and straight-up werewolves managed to slip through the not-at-all air-tight screening process – those clowns … Continue reading WOLF COPS 2 – The Wolfening (Signups)
