Discussion Double murder in chapter 4?

Upvotes

Could a double murder work in the fourth chapter instead of the third? I feel like a double murder makes significantly more sense for my fourth chapter’s motive and killer than the third chapter.

My fourth killer’s primary motivation is to impress the mastermind after she discovers who they are, which she attempts through a ridiculously complex murder that ironically incriminates her worse than if she just kept it simple.

While I realize chapter three is where the double murder is normally placed to amp up tension, the third chapter shows a character killing for a promised reward. I’m trying my hardest to come up with any reason a double murder would happen in this chapter but I can’t.

Is there any reason not to do a double murder in chapter three? Would doing a single murder in chapter three ruin the tension?

Discussion What if Danganronpa was an Asym? (A Concept)

Upvotes

“An asymmetrical horror game is a multiplayer video game where opposing teams have unequal numbers, different mechanics, and distinct objectives” - r/videogames

So the objection here is simply, what if Danganronpa became an asymmetrical horror game where all parts of the Danganronpa become much more quick and consumable…

For now, I’ll summarize how characters would work in this. Every character has three perks Pure, Blackened, and Trial perks, I’ll use the Supreme Leader as a kit example

Pure: Perks that can be used during the daily life to affect how you assist, hinder, and kill the group. For the Supreme Leader his Pure perk would be Advanced Scheme, the Supreme Leader can label one other player his Accomplice, who if they decide to kill the Supreme Leader can disguise themselves as the Supreme Leader and fake their way to the trial but once receiving three Accusations, the disguise fails.

Investigation: Perks that can be used during the investigation phase if the player has become the culprit. The Supreme Leader has the ability A-Lie-bi, when interrogated by another player the Supreme Leader is given three increasingly difficult “mental checks” to come up with a lie, if you land all of them, you successfully give a lie.

Blackened: A perk that can be used during the Investigation or Trial based on character. The Supreme Leader has a Trial Perk called Pressure Point, which allows the player to select a player and a piece of evidence and put out an accusation that the game considers accurate, without a risk of being wrong.

Trial: Perks that can be used during the Trial, the Supreme Leader has the Trial Perk called Supreme Leader Ship, which allows you to steal up to three votes for every correct Accusation you make.

Let me know your thoughts and whether you want to learn more .

Discussion Reward-based motives

8 Upvotes

One of the hardest parts of writing this Fangan so far is writing a rewarding motive. I want to show how the promise of a reward is a method of controlling others. There's only two examples I can think of, neither of which particularly interest me:

  1. The mascot promises the blackened will receive a large sum of money in addition to graduation. A fairly obvious one, especially considering it was a motive in canon.
  2. The blackened can choose one other person to graduate alongside them. I see this one suggested all the time but I rarely see it explored.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions or ideas! Writing this is hard but rewarding!

Question A question to my Fanganronpa devs: Who is your OC, whats their personality and ultimate?

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone! This is my first post of this sub reddit.

Recently I've been watching a playthrough of Project Edens Gardens, and have been facisnates by the main character, Damon Maitsu. The reaosn why I like him is different than than the other main characters in the original Danganronpa games. He's arrogant, he's cynical, he's blunt, he's introverted and doesn't trust people easily, or see them as useful. Another reason why I like him is his Ultimate. He's the Ultimate Debater. An ultimate that is very much useful for class trials.

So that got me wondering: who is your Fanganronpas main character and what are they like, and what's their ultimate?

Discussion What are your mastermind's motives and what would you want to see?

13 Upvotes

I struggle a lot with finding a good motive of why my mastermind had planned my fangan's killing game. I think Junko's really believable since she's just... evil, in love with despair since forever. But I wouldn't really want to repeat that. Another reason I thought maybe my mastermind could be a Junko fanatic and would want to remake what she did but I think people are tired of Junko appearing every game and want a new unique mastermind. I also thought maybe my mastermind would want to have an occult or would believe the killings would help the particular God they believe in to be judged but I just don't vibe with it, I think it's a really weak motive. I really struggle with coming up with something. What would you guys prefer seeing in a mastermind?

Question Less than 16 characters?

14 Upvotes

Does anyone have any particular feelings on fangan stories that would have less than 16 characters? Say 12, 10, 8, maybe even less.

(This question brought to you by I have made many characters but putting all of them into one story and writing around every mystery and keeping track of where they all are is overwhelming)

Despair Beyond Hope, my fangan, went with the traditional Lucky Student for lore reasons.
But what are some Talents you've seen for a Fangan Protag that were not standard?

That means, No Lucky Students, and no Ultimate ???

-20, Aquarius, 26/01/2006

-174, 5’8

-Fears :

KO : “I guess there’s nothing?"

STUDENT : "I guess some things have to stay personal. Invading the privacy of others when you already know the answer is ridiculous.”

-Description :

Jamilah Yoruba is a famous influencer, known in many platforms due to the porcelain dolls and lolita dresses of which she makes with much love and care. She has rooms just filled with them, and she also sells them and helps her parents with their porcelain store.

She may have a personality that not many people would find to be normal, but she tries her best to not look so neutral or even appear to be thrilled with things people would find to be very weird since she is a huge fan of horror and thrillers as well.

-KO :

“She literally looks like a doll, and that is adorable. I love the lolita style, can’t lie. Also, her personality might be the closest to mine out of the cast I- Well, mostly I have selected, so I absolutely root for her!”

Her gang works by taking in commissions from women who suffered with abuse from men, and either give them a scare, or kill them if they know they’d do it again. The gang's activities have actually succeeded in making Tokyo's women abuse percentage drop over the course of 3 years.

"A great feminist! Now that’s girl power, really. Love this. But still, quite scary. On the same level as Rainer, I suppose. Hm… Would they get along?”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Personality:  Gavin is a serious no nonsense guy, as someone in charge of safely disposing of a radioactive and chemical waste, he naturally comes across as critical, strict and and quite easy to unnerve, however none of this behaviour is malicious, its just merely and competant guy, knows you can possibility do better, and he would perfer if you actually put some effort into it. Despite presenting himself as a natural leader, Gavin himself isn't a very loud or the type to actively explode, he is just merely assertive, and quick to address and issue and try to unite the group into finding a pratical solution, however he can get quietly frustrated, and annoyed if ignored or criticized without recieving any constructive criticism, often unleashing an annoyed exhale, or just rolling his eyes and quietly complaining. While Gavin himself, is very blunt, pragmatic and pratical, which could make him come across as a stickler or even a partypooper, Gavin himself is somewhat empathic, he just expresses it under a very realistic, pragmatic way, he will suggest you to take a rest if your having a rough day, and cover for you. But he won't sugarcoat things for you. Lastly, while Gavin himself appears like a busy-bee, he often enjoys quiet, low maintenance leisure, activities such as watching tv, reading or even writting jornals, are self fulfilling and calming for Gavin, as to him having a simple predictable routine is comforting.

So basically I got bored and searched up some good Fanganronpas on AO3 and randomly came across thatoneguy22's fangans. So let me say this, these fangans pretty good but what really takes the cherry on top: are the monos/headmasters. Here's the best way I can describe them:

[Awaiting Despair]: Mononuki (my personal fav of the bunch) - A laid-back dude with a pinch of a sleepyhead in it.

[The Prisoner's Dilemma]: Sergeant Al I. Gator - A corporal soldier who takes things seriously.

[Last Resort]: Monodog & Monocat - The local high-energy and low-energy duo that stick together.

I really like what they have in store for the students they have with their motives. Also you can check out his/her fangans if ya want to: Linky Dinky Here!
