Cute Korean autobattler gacha with autochess mechanics. Planned for global release under leaked (tentative) title "Trickcal: Chibi Go". Mayo (Cool) dropping soon. Just checking if anyone's still playing. There's also an ongoing community-driven fantranslation patch project, though it's mainly only released as a beta on the EN community Discord. Miraheze-powered TL database: https://namuwitch.miraheze.org/wiki/TranslaRimGithub page of fantranslation (2-3 months outdated): https://github.com/voidumbrella/TranslaRim
>>1737967Still playing here.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxLmoKGCuo8The new introduction has a reference to the The Mask. This game in general just has a lot of movie references.
>>1738239
>>1737967Am interested only because of the cute live2d drawings.
There is an en.client bin file in the game's directory. When is it coming officially?
>>1738595nobody knows desu, even when we take into account the bunch of image assets that are already translated to Englisheven the TW account that's currently public and promoting pre-registers is very sparse when it comes to infoall I'm somewhat sure of is that Epid Games wants a global launch this year
Is the autochess gameplay actually fun or is this the kind of game you end up spending 5 minutes on dailies and jerk off to porn of the girls
>>1738771you pick an element then grind it up for months the fun would be random mini games they implement once in a while i guess
>>1738775I am assuming the implication is that the main game isn't that fun.I don't mind this in gacha games as long as it respects my time because I play them mostly for the characters and the story but it's a hard sell when it's entirely in moonrunes.How complete/competent is the fan translation?
>>1738782Very incomplete since the devs both: encrypt the original data table files that hold the text the game uses, and have some cumbersome way of tagging flags for when the game calls on a specific text to use, and because the guy that started the project is a Korean ESL and a good chunk of the small EN fanbase helping him through contributions towards the Miraheze wiki/spreadsheet either use MTL (Google) or AI translations
>>1738782>>1738806There's also the fact that the whole text isn't simply held in one file and that even sometimes there are chunks of text that are misplaced in unrelated tables. On the Miraheze site only two tables are being actively worked on, one that holds most of the game text and one that holds the text for Main Story Season 1.Imo, I think this game has flourished so far because the worldbuilding surrounding the game itself is very interesting and not seen very often in other gachas of a similar or bigger scale (general comedy/dark humor combo, the world refusing to acknowledge the very concept of death, other civilizations outside of the "small" patch of land the game is set in, etc.) as well as the character dynamics.
where the fuck is the chibi porn
https://x.com/trickcal_enhttps://x.com/trickcal_jpBoth EN and JP accounts updated their bios. Looks like Trickcal really will come out as "Trickcal: Chibi Go!" in EN.
>>1738854I cant wait
wage slave mini game
is it comfy? post your comfiest gifs so i can decide if I want to play
hardcore dragon sex
Is this just all Rabi memes?
>>1738813check for trickcal on pixiv or arcalive. there's stuff on there.
>>1739377>is it comfy?Sort of? Dailies are easy to deal with, and the story has a lighthearted comedic tone for the most part. >post your comfiest gifs so i can decide if I want to playAre you looking for gameplay or character interactions? Gameplay is just autochess-lite.
>>1739690Not really? I've looked in Korean sites and honestly seems like the the Rabi meme isn't as popular/well known as it is on here. I'm not even sure the majority of newer Trickcal players know who Diyap is.
>>1739852characters, any cute interactions
>>1739377
>>1739869Well recently they added noogies + belly rubs as new touch interactions, that's a total of 4 touch interactions (other two being cheek pulling and headpats) for EVERY character in the game. That's not even including all other unique animations and expressions.
>>1739877when is the global release I need to FUCK them so bad
>>1739891and check this out: the gacha pulling animation literally has you pulling a cheek to pull!
>>1739904Well that’s one way to get me hooked up. Guess I will have to find a Korean apk file and boot it up using an emulator
Never done it but hope I can easily switch between emu and phone if/when a global version comes so I can record clips to push others into playing the game kel
>>1740948I've tested the game on BlueStacks and it works well enough. Switching over doesn't seem to be much of an issue either.
>>1743448I assume it is a 'connect accounts' situation (if you know)? I've not really played many gachas. I played SMTDx2 for a little bit a long time ago, but I don't plan to redownload it to play on my new phone. I do currently play Limbus Company, but I just play it on the steam client through my pc or steamdeck. I do think I remember there being a code for SMTDx2 and hearing about a connection procedure for Limbus
>>1743452There's no need to link your mobile accounts like with Limbus, I think it's a quirk specific to that game due to how it does Steam integration (at least I think that's the reason). For this game there's just an account login, and at least for most gacha games I've played in the past (E7, GFL, Hi3, etc.) it's always been that way.
>>1743455I guess playing JP PSO2 was similar in regards to connecting to that account for PSO2es. Good to know. Really simple. I guess if/when the time comes the 'hard' part will be setting up bluestacks

The korean meme videos of Trickcal sustain me even if I can't understand SHIT
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnNEsdPsoYUThere's a Trickcal Starcraft mod, the download is up for a week on Arca apparently.>https://arca.live/b/trickcal/136970950>>1746369Yeah there's lots of good MADs.
>>1746390Loding I believe was the first person I saw making those way back when I discovered Trickcal randomly. kek koreans and their starcraft
Will we finally get to see more of the lands beyond the little patch of Elias that we know with the upcoming event story? Also lol at the area also having a border shaped like a typical Trickcal character's headhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wyNsnAXRPo
*pant* *pant*
>>1746433You should've posted the new character too. Her design reminds of tech priests from 40k.
>>1746509weird, 4chan didn't show me this post until after I posted >>1746864. Maybe it's just me?

stop playing KR version because i'm dekinai, waiting for global release and play JP ver since global ver tend to EOS faster
>>1738854>mochimochihopethought JP will use chibi too
>>1748622TIS HAPPENING!
>>1748648Wondering if I should play on JP instead just in case they go full retard like Priconne
>>1748746if the publisher is crunchyroll? yes go play jp instead
>>1748622Fucking wheeeeeen
>>1748759I've read KR devs will be supervising all game related changes and bilibili will be the publisher responsible for marketing and advertisement on reddit
>>1748803>bilibiliits so fucking chibover
>>1748888Still better than trannyroll.
>>1748803>bilibiliWelp, what a short lived dream.
So the announcement's out? Maybe they'll release global during 2nd anni?
>>1748803Do they do english versions of games? I wouldn't be surprised. I just don't have experience with them in terms of gaming
>>1749411i want it right now
>>1749411WHEEEEEEEN
>>1749411They're gonna blueball us for a week straight before release date, aren't they?
I swear if the release date is next year
Official EN localization for the races:>Fairies (KR) / Sprites (EN)>Beastkin (KR) / Werebeasts (EN)>Ghosts (KR) / Phantoms (EN) >Elves, Elementals, Witches, and Dragons stayed the samehttps://x.com/trickcal_en/status/1926820906233442450
>>1750009Do think the ones that are different are fine or dislike the changes?
>>1750072Everything else is whatever, but>Fairies -> SpritesIs dumb.
>>1750079That is the only one I know why they changed it. Well actually they might just have changed it for no reason too. Depends on who is doing the localization I suppose
>>1750009Ass. Especially what's their beef with ghosts?
I never played a Bilibili game, how is their localization? What I see so far seems pretty ass
>>1750220From what I've read a long time ago at least it's not cygames or crunchyroll since they just rugpull the shit out of global.
>>1750081elaborate
>>1750115I don't think they have any beef with ghosts, but more thought Phantom would fit their race way more. In-universe, that race is more closely related to the Elementals where, instead of being physical manifestations of the elements, they're more like physical manifestations of abstract metaphysical concepts like chaos and fate than actual bonafide "ghosts".
>>1750512Fairy is a slur to the LGBT community
>>1750540what? why? also I even doubt that's the reason why
>>1750551As the other anon already answered for me, it is a slur for gays. Why? I do not know. I also doubt that is the reason, but it is the first possibility that came to my mind. Honestly I assume it was just a decision that doesn't have that much thought behind it honestly. Tis a fantasy race and that is close enough or whatever
>>1750516>I don't think they have any beef with ghostsCould be China

>>1750647Does this game have serious (You) pandering, or is it just cute shit and comedy?
https://youtu.be/iWHe1x-RoYAPre-reg page and Discord for EN also
>>1750988Guess I'll pre-reg sometime later, it's not sending me the verif code to my email. Though I have to ask, is this shit playable on emulators? Don't think my poorfag phone is compat.
>>1751013I think it will have a PC Client
>>1751014Thank fucking god if true
>https://trickcal.biligames.com/en/>https://trickcal.biligames.com/jp/>https://trickcal.biligames.com/zh-tw/There's a EN, JP, and TW page. The Pre-reg count seems to be the same for all three, so it looks like it'll be a global server for all three?
>>1751013 (me)Guess it was just my old as fuck boomer hotmail acc not receiving the verification code for some reason, had to use my proton alt.
I'm interested. Is the game f2p friendly?
>>1751060The game's a autochess-like.>If you want to collect all units? Then yeah that's fairly easy due to the card system. You just need 20 cards to obtain them (which can be done through various means other than rolling). They even recently added a card conversion system so you can change them to different characters. Rolling also gives you both spark and dupe currency. >If you want to get into raid rankings (for some ungodly reason)? Then no, but the Raid/PVP portion of the game is entirely skippable, and doesn't give you too much extra income anyways.>Story content?It's subjective, but I quite like the story. The game also updates REALLY QUICKLY. If the game is going to follow KR's schedule then you'll get an event every two weeks, main story updates bi-weekly or so, and either skin stories or mini-event stories whenever they feel like it. All fully voiced too.
>>1751089NTA, but do the girls love (You), or is it just comedy and cute things?
>>1751089>If you want to collect all units? >Then yeah that's fairly easy due to the card systemSounds good, hope global comes soon. Bilibili being in charge raises some red flags though.
>>1751093There are some strongly for (You) characters, but the game leans heavily into memes, comedy, and cute stuff. Which is where you get designs like the Doordash delivery girl from.One thing I can say is that the Trickcal CEO really likes Blue Archive. (He's on the right in the picture, yes he has a life-size Iroha+Ibuki stand). So make of that what you will.>>1751099Honestly I'm not too happy about that either. Translation seems wonky.
>>1751114>the game leans heavily into memes, comedy, and cute stuffThat is disappointing because this >>1750647 looks good>Trickcal CEO really likes Blue Archive>So make of that what you will.Nothing will ever happen
>>1751099>>1751114The translation on the trailer looks decent though. This may just be me huffing hopium but I think Epid's doing the in-game TL while Bilibili does marketing TL
>>1751014Where are you getting that from? I am not against it. Actually I would prefer it for capture reasons, but I like to get some kind of reasoning
>>1751119God I fucking hope so.
>>1751089This all seems great, it sounds like it'll make a fun little side game. Do we have any idea about the release date?
>>1751129Not the guy you're replying to, but on arca I saw some gooks talk about them hiring a bunch of new client programmers. Also because Blue Archive did it, I guess.>>1751133The KR version released September 27th, so if they want to match up the original version with the global version, that would be the time. If it's sooner then that, then your guess is as good as mine.
>>1751129That anon is making shit up but most gacha games nowadays release with PC clients so it's not too unlikely. At worst we'll probably get a google play games version, and while it's not as a good an actual client, it usually runs a lot better than regular emulators and should be good enough for this type of game
>>1751048I saw some comments how having periods in your email makes pre-reg not work properly. They really need to get a codemonkey on that.
>>1751138My email doesn't have any symbols so on my end it probably was just Outlook being fags.
>>1751060events vary but some give rewards for doing50 or 100 summons sometimes they want you spam stamina so hoard up some resources to be prepared for that they give out a decent amount if you play the game but maxing out a character is a huge investment you can still do it over a long period of time
https://x.com/trickcal_en/status/1927545359783645211japanese dub
>>1751154>but maxing out a character is a huge investment you can still do it over a long period of timeAny guides on what characters are worth investing? Or just advice.
>>1751118>Trickcal CEO really likes Blue Archivebig if true, hope we get collabt. day 1 jp BA player
>>1751228Some already known ones based on dev reveals and the website for those curious:• Kommy - Maki Kawase• Erpin - Hina Kino• Butter - Aoi Nagatsuki• Ner - Yuriko Andersson• Elena - Yui Tsukada• Aya - Yoko Hikasa• xXionx - Sumire Uesaka• Daya - Hina Youmiya• Youngchun - Rie Kugimiya• Ui - Maria Naganawa• Picora - Ari Ozawa• Unknown - Yumiri Hanamori
>>1751238I remember them teasing a potential collab with a Japanese IP as far back as 1st anni, so it could be possible if the CEO man is ballsy (and stacked) enough for it
>>1751238it's not a theory, it's pretty blatant>Trickcal has 5 official promotional artists, 4 of which have some connection to Blue Archive, including the fucking Gookako artist of all people>Saying outright that they were able to fund development by the gains they made from investing into Blue Archive>Talked about beating Hieronymus torment when it first released.>Got excited when he saw Fubuki cheek pulling added to BA.>Pic-related with Kuroko inspired design
>>1751114>Trickcal CEO really likes Platonic Archiveit's so fucking over
>>1751235if youve played nikke theres a similar thing to a pilgrim type unit that costs more to pity 300 instead of 200basically you can pick one of them and then build the element around them or pick your favorite character and pick their matching pilgrim
https://x.com/denfaminicogame/status/1927545646002610647>10/01/2025cool, don't know about global though, probably same day?
>>1749448>>1749451>>1751335wdym? that article only says "second half of 2025"more popular theories believe in a global release date of September 27, same date as the KR launch
>>1737967i really hope this game lasts for a while, this artstyle looks charming enough
>>1751089>>If you want to collect all units? >Then yeah that's fairly easy due to the card systemDamn really? I only know limbus is one where it's ridiculously easy to get every character. Every other gacha requires sacrifices to the roster.
I'm ready
New interview with Epid Games CEO + VP and Trickcal's lead writer Paulppahttps://www.gameple.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=213140Summary: https://pastebin.com/AMqPwGuZ>Talking about story stuff and how it's evolved over the course of 1.5+ years>CEO's favorite story events are "Meltdown Butter" and "Zzirit Zzirit! Sparkling Storm", VP's is "Rush! Fury Delivery!", and Paulppa's is "The Snake Walking Alone" (picrel)>Talking about the player character's writing, CEO and VP's initial involvement in development and where their focuses lie now>The pre-release novel "The Trickcal" and the game story should be treated as separate experiences>CEO and VP admit suffering from health problems due to overworking, planning on taking a break after the 2nd anniversary>Plans for a global CBT soon, using a newly built build for testing and "cross-pollination" of the KR and GL builds' best features>Paulppa talks about their handling of the story, wants collabs with a Korean drama series and Limbus Company
>>1751785>global CBTSo no release soon? Back to hibernation if so.
>>1751785>collabs with a Korean drama seriesHere I thought E7 collabing with literal who K-pop groups was bad.
Have they announced the release date of Trickcal's global version?
>>1751915No. They're blueballing people by posting lore bits daily starting this monday.
>>1751785A limbus collab sounds really funny
>>1752119It's still wild how PM went from being niche /v/ core games to a recognizable franchise on level of GFL or even more
>>1750551I don't know the history on why or how it became a slur. But stupid decisions like changing fairy to sprite tend to come from localizers trying to be "safe" towards cultures they don't understand.
>>1750551Fairy is an old slur against fags. It's even a bit older than my time but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the reason why it was changed with how overly sensitive some people are.
They opened a Bilibili accounthttps://space.bilibili.com/3537117026191454
>>1751785Limbab and this having a both ways collab would be peak though how the fuck even. They could be EGOs I suppose. Hopefully there does end up being a pc version (or it is on that google play games thing I heard about)
Different anon here, I wanna give a slight correction and give some added context to some parts here:>>1751785The image in that anon's post is the Trickcal Writer's (Paulppa's) response to what his favorite scene in the entire game is, not necessarily favorite story, although it could mean the same thing.>>1751817A bit of a misunderstanding here due to a lack of context. The Korean drama the writer was referring to is an infamously memed historical drama following the life of a Korean gangster known as "Rustic Period" (야인시대). A large part of Korea's early meme culture and MAD community revolved around it. Since Trickcal revolves heavily around memes, he's basically making reference to it in an ironic manner. Also note that this is a callback to an earlier portion of the interview where they were talking about Snorky, who's entire existence is just a reference to Rustic Period.
would
>>1752732damn the chibi thighs are getting thicker
Do you guys think this game would be able to maintain a general in /vg/ when it launches? Or is it just fated to be in /vmg/?
>>1752820It could survive in /vg/ if we constantly bump it but it really depends on how many people we get. There's no advertising or anything so maybe making a bunch of threads on /v/ or something would help if we needed.
>>1752227they'd be EGOs, limbus is already doing an AK collab with them as EGOs
these chibis are strangely erotic
>>1752960Yeah that is why I said EGOs
>>1753142Chibis have just as much capacity to be hot as hell what do you mean strangely?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTuaWHkjGioErpin PV with JP VA. Still so weird they're opting not to credit JP voice actresses like they do with the KR ones. Website does say she's voiced by Hina Kino though, most well-known as Emu from ProSekai.
JP and TW beta on June 13. No Global announcement so we got shafted.
>>1758906Global is a dozen hours later so the announcement will come, trvst
>>1758906What is there even to betatest? It already runs on KR servers.
If it is the same day for the start, then I assume all the versions are the same servers
>>1759040>>1759053https://www.gameple.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=213140Says in this interview that the global build will be different from that of the Korean build, as it's co-developed with Bilibili. We'd want to know the differences between both clients (like Bilibili shadily having Levi who's originally a 2* in KR as a 3* unit pre-register goal instead of the actual 3* Meluna in KR), plus we also want to know if the EN translation is actually good or if Bilibili ran it through MTL garbage judging from misspellings and typos littered throughout the promotional material so far. It also helps in marketing the game through word of mouth, but that's if Bilibili actually gave Trickcal their 110% effort compared to their previous games.
>>1759066I assume anon means global and JP
>>1759066>MTL garbage judging from misspellings and typosdoes MTL do that do? I think that's more of a sign that they contracted some cheapo ESL to do the translation
>>1759066mtl is better than cheap trannylations you mean
>>1759066>shadily having Levi who's originally a 2* in KR as a 3* unit pre-register goal insteadIs that some limit break stuff or are they raising the rarity of character?
>>1759066Sorry I didn't put "all the non-KR versions". I assumed it would be obvious by context of talking about the versions needing a beta
>>1758906sign up link for the beta doko
are they planning separate EN server with separate client or EN patch/pick choice for KR server?
Will we get a general in vg?
It should be illegal to announce shit like this without a release date.

>>1763630it's over, not touching this shit
>>1763630Hard to say if these changes are for the better or worse just by looking at them. Not a good sign either way
>>1763630If it's really that bad though, KR would be in chaos since Epid's on record saying the CBT doubles as an experiment for KR updates, so it could also mean they're getting this too. But they aren't, they're more mad that GL has more QoL that KR doesn't have.
GL has a better Youngchun (cute brat voiced by Rie Kugimiya). I don't fucking care what changes Epid/Bilibili has on the table, I am STRAPPED IN.
>>1763630Huh? Other than the crayons giving less stats the other changes may end up being better if implemented well.
looks like you can play in English in the beta, as long as you rename the "En.client.bytes" file in "Phone storage/Android/data/com.bilibili.trickcal/files/Table/" (provided you have a file manager app that can bypass Google's stupid read-write prevention on the Android folder) to whatever language you set the beta to (either "Jp" or "Zh_cht"), but it's very obviously incomplete with text overflow, unfinished TL, etc.
>>1763912same should also apply to "ScenarioTextEn", the file that holds the game's story text
>>1763913nvm, tried switching the scenario tables and it only gives me error messages
>>1763912>imho
new girl a cute
bilibili killed the hype
>>1766974because there's nothing to talk about in the English side of things, while the beta has proven to be popular with the Japanese crowd
>>1767031I'm not surprised JP would like it the game feels BUILT for JP credit cards
With all the changes to the bili version and some time to think it through. What's the verdict?
if dubs trickcal comes out tommorow
>>1768997No thoughts head empty

>>1774863Holy cute knife ears
Also the PV has a Doom reference in it.
>>1774889who was in the wrong here?
>>1775236When in doubt it's usually the Elves. >>1768997I've played the KR version but I've only seen videos of Global CBT gameplay, with that in mind here are my gameplay takes:>The Good:>Improved changes to gear in Global (don't need to worry about using upgrade mats on lower tier gear)>Balancing seems to be better thought out (at least according to KR server players that have played both)>Can give food to 1* units, which is not possible in original.>Various QoL changes, including new animations.>Critical Damage and Critical Chance are now a combined stat. This is a change KR players like a lot.>The Bad:>Base/Outpost material collection system is completely different, seems like you can't spam it like in the KR version. Might make base upgrading very slow.>Very Subjective?:>Race synergy added and element synergy has been toned down. >and Passives, both could go either way.
>>1776108 (me)So overall, it's hard to say definitively if the gameplay is better or worse, but most people I've seen talk about it lean towards the former.I also have some opinions about the story and VA:There are some story changes (most notably the intro has been completely changed). My best guess is that Rie Kugimiya is really expensive, and they wanted to have a new intro featuring her more. Otherwise the rest of the chapters shown in the beta are the same.There are also some line changes, Probably because certain references are too obscure to be understood?Biggest complaint is the VA. They have some expensive names, but there are some misses. I can go more into more detail about it if people are curious, but if I were to give an overall criticism, whereas the KR VAs ham it up like cartoon characters, the JP VAs are playing it too straight. It's currently my largest concern with global, even beyond gameplay, honestly.
>>1776123>KR VAs ham it up like cartoon characters, the JP VAs are playing it too straightThat sucks, I hate it when the voice direction is different between regions
EN news when...
I think we have a good idea of when Global's gonna come out. They announced that they're gonna showcase the game more across various events. Since TGS is in September it looks like 9/27 will probably be the release date.
>>1777231Yeah. If I were to give a specific example that bothered me, it would have to be Kommy (Cat character) who in the JP dub has a verbal tic "~nya" that doesn't exist at all in the KR voice. >>1781635If the 9/27 date is correct, there's two months left I guess
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpc47h2ftD4They're releasing the dragon cowgirl NPC from the recent weekend minigame.
>>1788039 (me)Fun fact: Her VA also voices Rodya from Limbus.
Also releasing the dance crew outfits they teased two events ago.

Xion is so cool...

>>1781635pre-register for android is up now.
>2 more months (probably)I can't wait. Also can anyone following the CBT tell me how teambuilding works there? In KR they just make the same color team, but global doesn't seem to have the same bonuses. I wanted to make a team around Xion since I love chuuni dorks but I don't know who else to (re)roll for besides her.
>>1810778>Also can anyone following the CBT tell me how teambuilding works there?Element synergy also exists in global (just smaller values) and a newly added race synergy. At least at the start of the game, focusing on element synergy will be a good idea, since the character pool wouldn't be large enough to support element + race synergy teams yet.>I wanted to make a team around XionFor rerolling I think the focus is usually on getting Eldain units because it's possible to farm 3* units later. But if you want to build a depression team right away focus on:>Kidian, Posher, Kommy, Ashur in that order. Then fill in the last spot with any depression unit to create a 6 unit team.
>>1809966https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lsZ29oCYQI
>>1811006Cool. I guess I'll reroll for Eldain unit anyway and try to build a dark team later.
>>1811015Yeah, just make sure to check the Clone Factory (place where you can farm for character mats) to see if what you want is farmable in the current rotation. Do keep in mind that element synergy does become very useful later. For PVE I've been able to beat stages with a 500k+ power deficit (at least in the KR version). And for PVP a lower power team can smash through an enemy team if the synergies work in your favor. But again, this doesn't matter too much until later.
>>1810680>>1810778Will there be a PC Client though? Or are we just gonna stick with emulation?
>>1813221Doesn't seem like there will be a PC Client on release.
Will the global version have an option for KR voices? I wanna hear it more than the JP dub.
More swimsuit skins.>>1814920iirc, I think the JP Q&A stated that they would implement the option to switch between voices.
>>1810412They really did good with her design. Especially the animations.

>>1835646So that you understand the CEO is a gachaGOD
Hello, trickcalerers. Did this game have a Romance Academy minigame parody at some point or am I mistaking it with something else? Just suddenly remembered that some game did it, but can't pinpoint which one. And Trickcal was about the only one I tried recently (about a year ago, really, so not that recent).Anyway, hope you're having a good day. Nice to see that there's a global release date.
>>1835877Holy shit I didn't realize the minigame was a parody.But yes it does exist, it's the Joan minigame from the 1st Anni.
What exactly is this, an autistic daughter simulator? I'm so confused
>>1832982Too late, not playing games that start you years behind anymore. Enjoy losing your accounts when global gets shut down in 6 months.
>>1832982I still can't believe an entire gacha was built around epic seven ravi fan art and somehow it's successful.
>>1836001You must be fun at parties.
>>1836001Wait is global not a fresh start server?
>>1836027It is, that's the point, global servers that start very late are notorious for shutting down. Especially for extreme niche games like this.
>>1836001>>1836030lollmao evenlmfao especiallydo tell me if you unironically think this game would succeed if it did launch simultaneously, a chibi autobattler getting released globally without the steam built up by its cultic fanbase fueling the desire for it
>>1836154Wasn't the game actually bad on release or mired with issues? It had time to improve and become a product ready for the larger market.
>>1836174It wasn't really anything special until around 6 months to a year into release, where it started to get a surge of popularity in Korea with its rather unconventional approaches to marketing, especially when it came out that the CEO of EPIDGAMES went so far as to mortgage his house to inject more budget into the gameif it really did come out simultaneously like that OP wanted, it really would've probably died within 6 months globally
>>1737967are /we/ moving to /vg/ as TrickGlobal releases? I would rather move there for the rush of having a new game release desu.

>>1836406small indie company
which girls will be available on launch?
>>1836705hopefully the silver hair snake girl is on the launch cast, i only know of this game cause of her
>>1836728You mean Uros? She first appears and is part of the Season 2 storyline as its main villain, so I very much doubt that, especially after the CEO and VP said in the latest interview that they'll prioritize quality over speed for Global. Even her green-haired "shell" Suro is also far from being released at launch.
>>1836762Her chest looks weird.
>>1836762newcutie playing kr here. I’m on area 17 what to focus on to increase power?
>>1836406as long as it doesn't run like a potato like the usual emulators, I'm fine. Hopefully I can start using my google points for some discount.
>>1836815Not that anon, but here are a few tips that might help:>In the short term raising your equipment rank will give you a good boost in power. >Try to focus on creating a mono-element team, it'll increase your HP and damage by 100%, allowing you to pass stages even with a lower combat power>In the long term, farm gold and crayons so that you can start coloring the character boards. The golden crayon tiles on the board boost certain stats by 6~8%, this stat boost is global, and it stacks up over time as you color more boards.>Use Clone Factory to get dupes so you can promote characters. You can also trade the green cards at the shop to get more dupes.
>>1836784If it helps, this is what she looks like when she takes her hands off her chest.>>1836762Man, I really hope people don't get the wrong idea of what global will be like initially by looking at Season 2 designs. Early Trickcal tries very hard to stay true to Diyap's rabi style, and the experimentation really ramps up post-Season 1.
>>1836917is it normal to want to fuck a chibi
>>1836920I hope so, going to have a hard time with this game otherwise
>>1822339Dunno but it makes for good reaction images.
>>1836987Is she nopan...
>>1836920Chibis/simpler styles (PSG for example) get me going personally. No idea why
>>1836920less detail makes them more broadly appealing, the mind can fill in the blanks with your personal preferences
Hi. I just found out about this game. Went to pre-register for global. Is it supposed to not send you a verification e-mail or anything? When I entered the verification code, a small message just on the web page appeared. Is that really it? I also tried registering with a phone number but I never received the verification text.
>>1837104>Is it supposed to not send you a verification e-mail or anythingDerp, meant confirmation e-mail. I did get the verification code e-mail.
>>1837104Late but yeah thats it, its not a big deal anyway if you pre-register from the website or the play store or the such, you get all the news and goodies regardless

Trickcal 2nd Anniversary broadcast:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul_U-LdEW4gThey covered a whole bunch of things, and it's too much to summarize in one post but they did cover a bit of global stuff in the second half:>Devs were surprised at how much people were asking for the KR dub in global so they are planning on adding that to global>The JP version of the first Trickcal event will be fixed up after the feedback from the initial JP test>Fixes to stats and game systems (like the defense rework) are being backported between the two versions. This isn't including all the other things like raid boss content improvement, new frontier raid boss, fixes to the equipment system, etc.Also they said all this while exercising with bald caps on for some reason.
>>1839143>backportedSo Koreans are getting the changes made in the bilibili version?Heard defense was an absolutely dead stat due to how it's calculated. So I wonder how it will be now.
>>1839143 (me)The first part of the broadcast was an interview with the lead illustrator and lead animator, and it covered a lot, but some interesting parts were:>They make 15 skins a month. Essentially meaning that create a skin every two days, which includes the standing animations, battle sprites, and dubbing of new voicelines>The art team adds panties in the Live2D (that can't be seen without unpacking the client). According to them this is a very important part of the character design process and the art team debates over this. Also they "researched" quite a lot about this, with a board game where you match panties with girls???>Despite being known for rabi style, they feel like they need to keep up and frequent get together to research and add details like armpits, bellies, and quote "it's very important if the belly button is horizontal or vertical"....and a lot more. They covered way more than I thought they would.
>>1839148From what I can see, the distribution for DEF calculation is much better now than it was before. Survivability of units is a lot better, in both PVE and PVP. It also applies to enemies since they have a DEF stat too, but it's not complete junk stat anymore.
>>1839143Nice to hear about the KR dub
>>1839154>>The art team adds panties in the Live2D (that can't be seen without unpacking the client). According to them this is a very important part of the character design process and the art team debates over this. Also they "researched" quite a lot about this, with a board game where you match panties with girls???Based. So if you're asking what this means, I assume they probably printed out a bunch of girls and a bunch of panties, and told people to match one to the other as "research".
>>1839370>>1839154What important function does this part of the character design process serve?
>>1839398It ensures that the panties match the players expectations.
>>1839143>Devs were surprised at how much people were asking for the KR dub in globalThis disgusts me, I don't want to be associated with the freaks who want this.
>>1839799Must be Gangman Style fans
>>1839799It's because people believe the JP dub, at least in the beta, played the characters a bit too straight and seriously, while the KR dub actually had the chaotic and memetic energy needed for the whole thing to make sense (the KR VAs basically exaggerate a lot of their voicelines to sell the comedy). Like seriously, Trickcal is set in a world where any form and method of (sentient) death is actively suppressed by its creator deity, with all intelligent beings having their intellect dampened over time so that they stop delving into the whys any further, and that pretty much powers a good chunk of the conflicts in the story. Even in its most serious moments, the utter insanity never really goes away, and they believe the KR dub encapsulates that insanity way more than what they've heard from the JP beta.
>>1839799>you should always watch/play games with their original voiceovers, that's the intended experience>...unless that voiceover is not Japanese, then it's garbage and you're a freak for liking it
