patch notes 0.00001 (I'm mostly just spitballing, and like keeping people updated! Feel free to read if you like rambling.)

✿ Setting up a simple, optional (would be used in smaller 'job/bounty' type threads, as well as heavily plot-intensive) stat system; a point-buy based loosely around DND stats (modified for the setting, think Kids on Bikes' brains, brawn, fight, flight, charm and grit), which would give certain flat bonuses to rolls surrounding a specific character aspect. Shouldn't be game-breaking, but gives you the option to let people know what your character's good at right away.

✿ Working on site scope. This is intended to be a site for 1-2 characters per person, at least to begin with! I'm a dog-ass (by my own admission) coder, but I'm looking into making a small chibi and/or pixel skeleton to try and provide some small art assets for everyone's characters. (for the sake of utility (could put so many of these little guys on a site map) and for fun (making tierlist memes with everyone's ocs is truly some of the most fun I've had on Discord rp ever)). I'll try and provide some update pictures within a little bit!

✿ Writing out and including some explanations/guides for beginners to forum rp! This a project largely to help some Discord RP friends come jump into the forum sphere with me, so the aim is to try and bridge that gap in the RPC! I'll likely be keeping wanted ads and plotters/plotting threads on Discord, with the meat of the rp happening onsite.

✿ Baby Sims will no longer become stuck on a Sim's hand while driving a car.

✿ Working on NPC intros and some fun ways to get people familiar with the few non-playable characters that'd be well-known on the site! Our two hosts are already solidified; your brazen daytime host, and your darling nighttime host!

patch notes 0.00002 (I'm still alive! Consider this a... bi-weekly update? It's not that much!)

✿ I think we should get rid of the five day workweek.

✿ SIX STATS: SNEAK (evasion/dexterity), SWAY (charisma), SMASH (raw strength), SNOOP (investigation/perception on the go), SMARTS (intelligence/the raw facts), and STOCK (constitution/resilience). Characters begin with twelve points, and can place them anywhere they'd like, with the option of going into the negative for one stat to give an optional point to a different one. These points won't be gained as the site goes on, in order to accommodate new players, but can be re-specced in the wake of character development.

These will be used as modifiers in dice rolls surrounding jobs/missions and potential plot advancements! They shouldn't be the focus of the game, but should allow people to express and highlight their characters' strengths.

✿ Art's still a work-in-progress- I've been a little busy! Chief, I still think we should get rid of the five day workweek. The plan for the board itself is to largely utilize graphics from the public domain, this largely being art pulled from museums (and private collections)! It might look a bit out-of-place within animanga RP, but I'm pretty enthusiastic about it! I'm drawing something up myself re: NPCs, so that might be a little further in the future.

✿ Working on factions! Crime, including organized crime, definitely exists, and although having been driven underground as a result of the city's 'restoration', continues to sink their teeth into every facet of society. While 'true' revolutionaries lurk within the corners of crowded coffee shops, fresh university students and grizzled war veterans alike waiting to upend the status quo with bated breaths, most organized crime seems fairly complicit in taking advantage of change in leadership- for their own gain, of course.

✿ Minor setting edits. We've gotta learn how to write something other people can parse.

✿ Membergroups are in progress! I almost sorted people by art supply stores, but I feel like naming a membergroup 'Joann's Fabrics' is copyright central.
