Prose game with no network?

oh

this looks cool

i was so disappointed when henlein fell through so i've been dying for a new prose game. i'm thinking of apping but haven't decided who yet.

i keep reading the game's name as somniabullets or somniabusters

that's cute anon

wow. I like the layout and the profile.

where are my prose anons at? let's do this

i'll do it if you do anon

i was worried about the heavy naruto so far (well kuri really, last i checked it was just mods and her) but if there's enough people i can ignore with impunity

i'm already working on my app! just need history, world building and samples done and i'm good to go.

DW has been seemingly wanting a new prose game and games with no network for ages

why are there not more reserves

c'mon guys

The same reason every DR that opens founders despite people saying they "miss" them all the time, anon.

Because a game having mechanics people want doesn't make up for it not having a premise people want?

i'm all for more network less prose games but the dream premise isn't doing it for me and i'm kind of wary about activity checks that basically revolve around highly subjective things like 'have your character undergo some significant character development'

which is stuff that should ideally happen anyway, i just don't like it being the requirement for staying in the game when it's subjective especially if i'm reading this right and in theory two people could circlejerk a thread or two for three months in a corner and pass the ac if they can argue that shit happened and it kinda makes it a squatter's paradise in that sense.

tl;dr fuck yeah prose fuck yeah no network but that only does so damn much

i like the premise but as someone in a weird time zone, i need an ac that isn't something as vague as "development happened"

(Anonymous) - 2014-04-03 03:37 (UTC) - Expand

I agree with above anon. Love prose heavy but dream setting just isn't pinging me at all.

I'm also kind of tired of those magical communication devices that somehow can't be destroyed and are multilingual, etc. Getting rid of networks is good, but a magic diary feels like a step backward.

And the vague AC is a turn off too. How are the mods going to monitor such a thing? Sounds like such a headache.

(Anonymous) - 2014-04-02 23:36 (UTC) - Expand

Because there's too much Kannagara all over this already, and the setting/premise is iffy for me, too. Otherwise, I'd think about it.

I got excited at first because I love prose and hate networks, but unfortunately the premise really isn't doing it for me.

a little apprehensive but man if there aren't so many open doors with this kind of setting i don't even know what to do with myself

it's a dream setting you can do so many things with it

of course kuri would want to app into a game that doesn't allow app challenges

...the nightmare shades tempt me

from what i can tell the players are allowed to npc them right?

It looks that way! Plus the mods can grab them for plots, I think. I really like the idea.

Quietly stalking this game for now. Feeling like a weirdo for loving dream premises (I'm kind of surprised so many people don't?) The AC is kind of iffy I admit. Pretty subjective. But I love ideas like this and have always wanted to app into a dream game. It's unfortunate that they usually just don't seem to hold together well (think Somarium was the most successful).

Just wanted to chime in and say that the dream premise works for me. I like the idea. It's something new (for me, anyway). Every premise is not every RPer's cup of tea. I'd like to give it a whirl.

They do actually have a test drive meme up even though DW is trolling with that post number:

http://thewakingworld.dreamwidth.org/404.html

Anyone know whether this is one of those games that requires a reserve before the app or can you app straight in so long as apps are open?
