After years of expensive education... A car full of books and anticipation. I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot! But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.
Allow me to introduce Twentysomethings, a lighthearted series of mini-romps set in a brand new original setting! Yes, for my very first completely original game, I've decided to go with a brand new format. I'm talking episodic stories, all set in The City By The Bay: San Francisco! It seems some very bizarre happenings have begun in this gorgeous west coast haven, not the least of which is the development of astonishing superpowers in a small portion of the population! Why, though? Scientific experiments gone wrong? Radiation from cell phones? Drugs applied through the food supply? The next stage in some unknown form of mutative evolution? Who knows, and frankly, who cares?!
The stories will each revolve around, as the name implies, humans in their 20s affected by this new super-world, and the best part about that is that the game's cast will be populated by characters created by all of you! While I can't speak for how many people will be signing up, I can say that everyone who joins will get to see their creation as a POV (point of view) character! From there, we'll be guiding the adventurers as a community, in the style of classic superhero adventures! With everyone reading the same comic, we can really enjoy the shared experience of watching a brand new universe develop bit by bit!
But I'm not gonna just throw us in the deep end! Far from it! To get a taste of what this setting is, the FULLY PLAYABLE prologue chapter will be featuring the first superhuman to use his powers as a masked adventurer. He was born Ajay Jha, and his co-workers call him Nurse Handsome, but the world will come to know him by a different name: Phenomenon! As the prologue will see him through his first high profile crime fight, you the players will have a say as to his methods, motivations, and decisionmaking process. But be wary – Phenomenon is a hugely influential individual to the Twentysomethings world. His behavior and choices will affect the way San Francisco is during the main Issues! Once you get a sense of that, sign-ups will begin, and you can all use your creativity to make the kind of superhero you'd love to see in an awesome adventure!
I don't want to get up just let me lie in! Leave me alone I'm a Twentysomething!
(Reminder: I also included a game on the previous page!)

Additional details! I am "I Drive." in these chat messages Mall of MoneyVitBowser - Today at 5:11 PM Mall of Money so is it like a scavenger hunt in a mall? I Drive. - Today at 5:12 PM It is indeed a scavenger hunt in the mall. The text will generally consist of descriptions of what you encounter and the like. Each turn, the player can select a spot, or take advantage of an item or whatever that they find. And only one player can win the fabulous prize!(edited) But craayyyyyyzeee things can happen in the Mall of Money, and anyone can win! It's not a roleplay, CYOA or a traditional game! It's a GAME SHOW!(edited) Crow - Today at 5:16 PM On a scale of Light to Dark, how is the tone? I Drive. - Today at 5:16 PM Goony The Diabolical Machine - Today at 5:17 PM On a scale of scale to scale, how big is the scale? I Drive. - Today at 5:18 PM It's the scale of a mall, but not all slots are filled. However, maybe! Just maybe... If the players playing can draw enough attention, more vendors will fill the mall and they can invest in another round of MALL! OF! MONEY! You can play it however you want. But only one person can win the grand prize! This is not like a Mario Party battle game That's where it is in terms of tone Twentysomethings
The idea came to me when I was getting frustrated with bigger scale, more difficult to complete stories. I've got it in my head that briefer, more personal experiences have a lot to offerI Drive. - Today at 5:32 PM I can totally work with you to include your oc, and get him involved in the setting! This is a project I've been looking forward to, and I can totally see how a hero like that would make the world a better place! That's the goal with this game - to provide an unironic, positively portrayed classic style superhero world, but one of our very own creation! I too am very interested, Malefio! That's why, assuming all goes well, the prologue will begin after V3 ends! I Drive. - Today at 5:34 PM Oh, this is gonna be different than most, by far. Very much about the people, not just their super alter egos. I want everyone's POV sections to feel connected to who they are as a person and not just who they are as a superhuman.
I Drive. - Today at 5:35 PM I was thinking that'd be the case, but the important thing is that I will be working with you every step of the way to portray it in ways you're comfortable with. A mix of my own spin and your ideas! VitBowser - Today at 5:40 PM Wait so we can even make characters that are super villians? I Drive. - Today at 5:41 PM I was actually thinking it might be fun if the Vitcon members collaborated together on a villain! I Drive. - Today at 5:41 PM I would LOVE to tell a story about someone trying to stay out of the vigilante game! There will probably be a decent variety of villains in this setting, and I can't wait to come up with some really great combinations between them and your heroes!
I Drive. - Today at 5:44 PM
Oh, I will. I really don't want to get overly ambitious about this. Without a foundation, it will become unmanagable. But that's why instead of jumping straight in, I'm starting you guys off with Phenomenon. He'll be sort of an intro to the world.
I Drive. - Today at 5:49 PM
But I want to be clear, even if there is canon developed, I will be doing my best to make sure everyone's story is complete and special.
I will not sacrifice quality for continuity.
Like "oh this guy's Issue is just a setup for the next one". Not doing that.
Malefio - Today at 5:53 PM
Are you looking for a certain level of power for the heroes/villains or anything goes?
I Drive. - Today at 5:54 PM
I am looking for the kind of superhero that could clear a room of gun wielding baddies, but couldn't easily blow up the building they're in.

Two robed figures in a dimly lit room, the dull sunlight behind the balcony door curtains the only thing illuminating the place. One of the figures, feminine, sat on the bed, visible under the limited light. "Our options have been rapidly depleting for quite some time." Another figure stood back toward the corner, deeper within the shadows. Masculine. The woman may have been tall, but this person towered over her. "I have observed as such, but are you certain, milady?" "The enemy has made their intent to attack quite clear, and our greatest claim to a military victory resulted in hundreds of casualties and one of our finest generals dead and disgraced. Attacks against our settlements have only increased, with smaller villages falling prey. We can expect no aid, with the elves shutting off what little forms of communications they possessed. Their power may be what will push us into resolving our conflicts and bringing peace back to our realm.""Or they may set the world aflame and make a bad situation worse. Who's to say they won't be malicious in nature? Who's to say they won't betray you when they get an opportunity to profit from it? Even if they have noble intentions, would they truly be enough to make things go your way? There's no way to be sure. Are you at least prepared for the risks?" "This is not a spontaneous decision. I have already had Cia looking into the procedure, deciphering whatever ancient records we have uncovered. We may not have the full picture, but we believe that it can be done."The woman rose up from the bed and walked over to the window, pulling the curtain to the side slightly to peer over the bustling town beneath them, protected by large castle walls. Off in the distance, a great tree towered in the center of the land, bathed in a warm, neon light. "To summon heroes from other worlds, and to convince them to fight for our cause... I understand the gravity of the matter. I will plan accordingly, and we will be prepared when the times comes. By any means necessary if need be. Anything for my people."She turned around to face the other cloaked figure. "I am sorry. I would understand if you have misgivings, but Yuleia continues to need your aid. Now more than ever. That said, I cannot force you to stay. If you wish to leave...""My lady, I have pledged my loyalty to you and your husband, and I meant it. No fingers cross behind my back." The woman smiled. "Thank you. Hearing that means a lot to me."As the woman turned to look out of the window, the other figure vanished, their cloak abandoned as it fell in a heap where they stood.

Also, I'm going to pull a Pikmin 4, FE16, and Pokemon by saying "Yes, we are working on other projects in the RP line-up" with no further details. Hopefully not going to go silent on it for over a year, though.

The music starts to blare and the curtains on a rather lavish stage open. The spotlight settles on Ashley in a sparkling silver and lavender dress. It has a purple flower on the left shoulder and her hair is up in a large, fancy bun. She’s striking a pose with her left hand on her hip and her right arm in the air, smiling from cheek to cheek. “Welcome one and all to this luxurious presentation, hosted this year by everyone’s favorite Total Drama host(since Chris went to jail anyways…). Today we have quite a few games to get through today, so let’s get started with my, er, ‘rowdy’ assistant showing off our first game!”
Tai walks out, looking pretty professional in as nice, slick black tux and bowtie. He has his hands shoved in his pockets and groans under his breath as he faces the audience and points backwards at the large screen. On the screen a sunny afternoon is shown in a peaceful suburb. From there, the aerial view zooms in slowly, cutting to one particular white house among many. Then the camera shows the inside of a bedroom window, zooming out slowly, until finally a topside view of the bed is shown and a slow pan into a white video-game case with a strange green circle design on the front and a single green word below, ‘SBURB’.
Ashley shouts in glee, “Our first game is known as Sburban Frontier: A Homestuck CYOA. This CYOA-styled game will have voters establish a main character and dictate their actions as they participate in the suspicious computer game that mysteriously appeared in their home one night. Along with three other main characters(two NPCS and one MC controlled on the CYOA-Verse), voters will help their MC unravel the mysteries of the game that becomes a truly immersive experience when it unknowingly starts the end of the world! Embark on an epic journey with the voter-made MCs on both Vitcon and the Verse in order to survive and figure out what the hell is going!” She smiles. Ashley then bows out as Tai takes any question from the audience.

It'll start either later this month of next month, depending on life
Voting on BOTH sites is allowed, since there's no particular reason for secrecy
Crow - Today at 6:17 PM
Did you know... there are three kind of aces?
Do you already have the NPCs planned or are you going to shape them based off the PCs?
Digi - Today at 6:18 PM

Crow - Today at 6:18 PM
Neat.
Anyone else have questions?

After questions, Tai leaves and Ashley takes center stage once more announcing, “Next, we’ll take a look at an ongoing game and some things to look forward to!” She goes silent as the music starts to play and images flash on-screen. Views of everyone’s homes can be seen briefly as the human world flashes by, before the camera pans into Aiden’s computer screen and a bunch of code can be seen as the camera goes deeper in. Then a fast-moving shot of water and clouds is shown as the Dawn Island comes into views. The screen lights up as pillars of light shoot up from the island. The title “Digimon Destinies” is on screen for a moment before images of Highlight Heaven, Process Factory, Limit Valley, Circuit Plains and Circuit Village, and Thriller Ruins flash by with faint transparent pictures of everyone’s partners in their respective areas layered over each background. The music continues to play as a scene of Trailmon and the burger-eating contest comes on screen with everyone doing their own thing and relaxing before a zoom out of Trailmon shows him driving towards a darkened, stormy sky before a flash of lightning shows Jeremy and a brief view of his arena fight. Finally, a still of everyone together. Ashley claps and shouts, “Digimon is still going strong in its 2nd chapter and it’s far from too late to join! Will our heroes be able to defend Trailmon? What threats will they face next? And who is this mysterious person giving orders to Jeremy and what do they have planned for him? Find out soon, ladies and gentlemen!”
I'm lookin at you Pie
Crow - Today at 6:27 PM
Go, Trailmon, go! MVP all seasons! Wait, no, Burgermon best mon.

Tai presents the next one alone as Ashley takes another break backstage. The screen flows between a dark, empty looking space with slow zooms in as a huge, dark space station comes into view. Next, the inside is shown, with slow image flashes to a large cafeteria hall, a courtyard with a glass dome and view of the stars, a latrine, what appears to be jail cells, and finally a dark solitary cell, before the screen flashes back to a view of the full station with the words, ‘DARK MATTER’ appearing before the screen goes black. “DARK MATTER is a traditional-style Vitcon-only game. You’ve woken up here, in this busy place you can only describe as a prison. Yet, you don’t know why. What did you do to get here? HOW did you get here? Where is here? You only know one thing, really: you have to escape.” Tai reads it off a piece of paper before looking at the audience and yelling, “QUESTIONS?” Pielover19 - Today at 6:34 PM ....Seek a way out? Digi - Today at 6:35 PM What Pielover19 - Today at 6:35 PM Play Zero Escape. Seems like a cool game, though. Digi - Today at 6:36 PM Oh, yeah Tai whistles No questions?

Ashley makes a theatrical entrance as she drops from the ceiling with her arms crossed. “It’s a little too late to join this one but all viewers are welcome to cheer on our lovable cast of 14 and tune in to see who wins the grand prize! Who will win the first challenge? What will the teams be? Who will be voted off first? Find out soon on TOTAL! DRAMA! GAME OVER!” She shouts enthusiastically as images of the cast flash on the screen and the theme song plays.
“Well, that’s about all we have time for right now, folks! Thank you all for coming out!” Ashley says with a smile on her face.
Tai smirks. “I’d say that you should spend your time doing something more productive, but I get paid for promoting this shit, so go and play one of these!” Ashley rolls her eyes and walks off stage and Tai follows her halfway before smirking at the audience. “One more for the road, nerds!”
Malefio - Today at 6:51 PM

The screen lights up one last time. A wasteland of a battlefield is shown with an ominous sunset sky. Flames fill the air and a torn flag lies still. An unseen narrator begins to speak in a moderately deep voice. “We’d fought countless battles… Endured countless tests… Yet we’d always come out on top…” The scene continues to look grim as a storm is shown far-off and a huge, inhumane roar with a hint of pain resounds through the speakers. “But nothing prepared us for this… And when they came… We gave it our all as always…. And lost.” The scenes of a lost war flash by before the screen goes momentarily black. It opens back on a scene of people smiling and walking into an advanced looking academy. There’s a courtyard with all kinds of training equipment and people going through obstacle courses, students in a class and a general happy vibe. The camera focuses on a raven-haired young man appearing to be in his twenties talking in front of some students before the entire screen shakes and images flash of worried faces and silhouettes of the player characters. Then a shot of a blonde girl in a school outfit looking rather bored and malevolent. Then a shot of the guy from before, holding a spear with some strange markings and looking determined striking a pose, as lightning flashes behind him.
Scenes of people and creatures fighting other monsters, people, and the like flash by quickly, with flames overlayed, then a flash of a huge, daunting space armada, then a slow pan to Earth and another, different planet. A scene of a busy, high-tech city, then of a man with white hair and black bangs wearing a crimson cloak and holding a black, metal scythe swinging it around, his expression stern and empty. Next a young woman with blue butterfly wings, long brown curly hair, blue eyes, a shining blue top hat and a shining blue wand, wearing shining, glittery clothes, flying around and blasting streams of blue flame from the wand.
The screen then splits into two, divided by a jagged lightning mark, with the words “Past” on one side as the beginning of the war shows and the word “Future” on the other side as a post-war battle scene plays out with the narrator fighting and images of blood, battle, and monsters as the trailer ends with a lightning strike and the title, “HEROES” on-screen.

The crowd goes silent as the presentation begins. The screen goes dark and a moment of quiet fills the audience.
As the music begins playing, the screen flashes to life, showing the Unborn World. Within it, Balynka and Raine stand, facing off against each other. The two engage in battle as Balynka charges forward, slashing at Raine with her sword before following up with a shield toss. Raine quickly smacks Balynka back with her watering can before taking out what looks like a card from her pocket. A flower blooms out of the ground next to her and surrounds her in a healing light. Meanwhile, Balynka takes out a card of her own, throwing it to the ground.
In a bright flash of light, the Unborn World has transformed into Terran’s Town Square. Raine fumbles a moment, trying to keep up as she summons Talys using one of her cards. The frog warrior stands guard in front of her, protecting her from Balynka. Meanwhile, Balynka takes out another card and activates it, creating an Acid Vial in her hand. She throws it into Talys, destroying him instantly before charging past him and striking at Raine. She then throws down to more cards as two copies of Kepi the slime appear at her sides. Raine looks over at her side, noticing that she has multiple play points before looking back at Balynka with a determined look. She throws down a shining, legendary card as Phoenix bursts forth from the fires, unleashing his undying flames on both Kepis and Balynka while healing Raine. Raine then creates a glowing light around Phoenix, boosting his power. Balynka looks up from the fire, wiping sweat from her brow. She switches to an offensive stance while throwing down a card and summoning Super Saiyan Balynka! The four on the battlefield charge forward and the screen goes black.
A single card flitters down on the screen and flips over as glowing letters float out from behind it. Vitcards.
Just walks back onstage to the cheering crowd. “Now then, we have some exciting news to share about Vitcards! The game has been worked on for quite some time now with the developers carefully tweaking balance and coming up with many cards for you to choose from when making decks! We are pleased to announce two different card packs that will be releasing for the Vitcards launch. The Lost Kingdom Pack and the Mass Destruction Pack. In the Lost Kingdom pack, you can expect to find only characters, spells, and amulets based on the incredibly popular Lost Kingdom series. In the Mass Destruction Pack, you will find cards with high damage and dark origins! If you’re looking to add a little oomph to your deck, be sure to get some of these packs! Each pack will be priced at only 1 Vitcoin per pack during the starting period of Vitcards. That’s right! For the first month Vitcards is released, you will be able to buy these packs for half of their usual price. Make sure to take advantage of this offer while it lasts so you may get a better chance of drawing a legendary card like Phoenix or Super Saiyan Balynka!”
Just brings up an image of gameplay on the screen, which shows a basic card playing field. There’s one large character card on each side, in this case, Balynka and Raine. Both leaders have cards in play and a deck to the side. The image seems to be from the perspective of Raine, so you can see her hand. The cards within her hand don’t look like characters though.
“The game of Vitcards is fairly simple. Each player will have a Leader card. When the health of your Leader drops to zero, you lose the game, but if your enemy’s leader loses all their health first, you win! Next, there are Character cards. Characters have to take a turn to prepare before they can attack, so they can’t attack immediately after being summoned. Character cards can choose to attack the enemy leader or other Character cards, but keep in mind that damage will be received simultaneously when attacking. This means that is Phoenix attacks Super Saiyan Balynka, they will both receive damage from each other at the same time. This rule applies to Leader cards as well. They can attack, but they will receive damage in return. Keep in mind that both Leaders and Characters will receive damage when attacking Leader cards. Try to figure out the best strategy to deal damage while keeping your health up! Next up, there are spell cards. As you can see in Raine’s hand, she is currently holding two Bloom cards. These are spells that will restore an ally’s health when played. Spell cards can be played at any moment, but will not summon characters. Instead, they have potent effects to help characters and leaders in battle. Finally, there’s Amulet cards. As you can see on Balynka’s side of the field, she has the Terran Square amulet in play. Amulets take up a slot on your field that a character can occupy, but cannot be attacked and can only be destroyed by spells and effects. They usually provide beneficial effects, for example, this Terran Square card will boost the Attack and Defense of a random allied Lost Kingdom character by 1 at the end of the turn. Next up, let’s go over these glowing spheres next to the deck. These are called Play Points. In order to play cards, you need to use Play Points. The corresponding cost will be displayed on your cards. Weaker cards tend to use less play points while stronger cards tend to cost more. For example, Super Saiyan Balynka will cost 9 Play Points while the Bloom spell is only 2 Play Points. You can use your Play Points to either use multiple weaker cards or one really strong card. Each player starts with only one Play Point, but gains another Play Point at the start of every turn with a maximum of ten Play Points.”
The screen changes to the logo for Vitcards again. “We hope you enjoy mixing and matching cards to create decks that suit your playstyle. Vitcards is scheduled for a Summer 2018 release date, so please look forward to it. We will bring you more details at a later date. Thank you.”

“Next up, I would like to introduce a new service to Vitcon. I call it the Time Machine. Using the Time Machine, owners of games may place their games on hiatus instead of archiving them entirely. Through this process, owners will be able to put games on pause when their lives become too busy or when they are burned out without having to throw away their work entirely. This felt like an important necessity to the Vitcon system as many developers have had trouble keeping up with games in the past. We hope that the Time Machine will help keep the boards more organized and help developers keep up with their work without doing away with it. This service will be available for use right after the presentation. Please check the Moderator Center if you would like to request a movement of your game into the Time Machine or a movement of your game out of the Time Machine. Thank you.”

The screen then transitions to black as the next presentation starts up.
The screen then shows a party of adventurers heading off, away from a fantasy style town on adventure. The camera follows them leaving for a short moment, but then zooms in past them to an incredibly generic looking shopkeeper waving goodbye to them.
The screen then changes to show the generic character working in a field, growing and harvesting crops as a dog runs past them, herding sheep. The character stands and wipes sweat from their forehead, noticing another generic character waving to them from beyond the farm fence. The farmer hands over a bag of turnips to the shopkeeper and receives gold in return as the shopkeep heads off down the road with a wave goodbye.
It then cuts to the shopkeep in her store, selling the turnips she just bought to a villager as her pet cat naps on the counter of the shop. As the villager heads off, a generic looking blacksmith walks in from behind where the villager was standing and grins. He pulls out a few new swords and places them on the table, selling them and heading out with a shiny sack of coins. The shopkeep smiles and places the swords on display before the door opens and an adventurer can be seen walking in, looking around.
It then cuts to the farmer from before sitting up on top of the town wall, overlooking the town. The shopkeep from before comes up and sits next to him and pulls out a ring as they sit there, much to the farmer’s surprise. The camera then pans up to the sky as a phoenix flies past, causing a feather to flutter down with the NPC Life logo on it.
Just walks back onstage to the cheering crowd. “That was a trailer for our newest game, NPC Quest. Going in line with our recent and popular Casual Vitcon games, NPC Quest follows the story of an NPC and what they do while the adventurers are away on their quest. In NPC Quest, you will have to manage your own business, whether that’s a farm where you raise crops and animals, a pet shop where you sell exotic monsters, a magic shop where you sell spells to the adventurers, or even a general store where you sell everyday necessities to the people in the town. Your actions in the town will not only help the adventurers on their journey, but can affect the others in town. Will your popularity cause other businesses in the town to go bankrupt or will you both prosper and flourish?”
Just then pauses as the screen changes to show the image of the shopkeeper asking the farmer to marry her. “Not only will this game involve owning and running a business, but there will be a dating sim aspect to it. As you get closer with the other shopkeepers and adventurers in the town, you can learn more about their stories and maybe even get married. I’m very pleased to reveal that in this case, players can use data transfer capabilities to add a child character from their own characters to various other Vitcon games. We hope that this casual style Vitcon game will help add and expand to our newest and most successful genre in the Vitcon library.”
The screen then changes to the NPC Life logo again. “We hope you are looking forward to the release of NPC Life. Please be sure to check it out later this week when sign ups will be open.”

The entire room goes dark as if the presentation is over, however…
The rooms suddenly roars to life as action appears on the screen! Standing before a mighty demon lord the size of a skyscraper, a young man reaches for a revolver attached to his belt. He fires at the beast, grabbing its attention among the flaming hellscape of the town. He then shouts out to some unknown entity. “I invoke the power of our contract!” As he does this, a ferret-like demon appears and unleashes its power, changing the man’s hands into large, demonic claws. He moves in and begins to slash at the demon lord, but the demon lord seems almost immune to the attack. He turns and his eyes flash as he raises a hand in the air. Meteors begin to rain down from above, crashing into the town. As the man falls to his knees, bleeding heavily and on fire, his phone flashes to life.
“I sense that you are in a tight position. In that case...Loading Save Data…”
Everything turns white.
“File Loaded.”
The main character of the reveal wakes up in his room within the city. There’s no trace of demons or monsters anywhere as if the entire thing was undone. He gets up and checks his phone. “Ah, crap. My contracts I made today are gone. I guess that’s what I get for being reckless. Auri, did we cause any permanent temporal damage?”
The phone responds. “No, Master. It seems that you interrupted one of the other’s battles and reset some of their progress, but aside from that, everything is the same.”
“So we can only go as far back as today?”
“This was the last point that was saved by another user, Master. We cannot go further back than the last save.”
“Figures.” He puts the phone away and walks downstairs, through a jewelry shop, into the city itself. “Well let’s try to make things different this time, shall we?”
As he heads out the door, the camera pans up to the rooftop of a skyscraper where the demon ferret sits, watching everything below.
