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/TranslaRim

Github page of fantranslation (2-3 months outdated): https://github.com/voidumbrella/TranslaRim

The new introduction has a reference to the The Mask. This game in general just has a lot of movie references.

There is an en.client bin file in the game's directory. When is it coming officially?
>>
>>1738595
nobody knows desu, even when we take into account the bunch of image assets that are already translated to English

even the TW account that's currently public and promoting pre-registers is very sparse when it comes to info

all 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

you pick an element then grind it up for months the fun would be random mini games they implement once in a while i guess
>>
>>1738775
I 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?
>>
>>1738782
Very 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
>>1738806

There'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.

Well 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.

I've tested the game on BlueStacks and it works well enough. Switching over doesn't seem to be much of an issue either.

I 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

There'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.

I 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

>>
>>1750115
I 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".

As 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

>>
>>1751060
The 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.
>>
>>1751089
NTA, but do the girls love (You), or is it just comedy and cute things?

>If you want to collect all units?

Sounds good, hope global comes soon. Bilibili being in charge raises some red flags though.
>>
>>1751093
There 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.
>>1751099
Honestly I'm not too happy about that either. Translation seems wonky.

>>
>>1751089
This all seems great, it sounds like it'll make a fun little side game. Do we have any idea about the release date?
>>
>>1751129
Not 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.
>>1751133
The 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.
>>
>>1751129
That 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

events vary but some give rewards for doing
50 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

>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

Fairy 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.

The 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.
>>1751817
A 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.

It 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.

Says 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.

It is looking grim for global.

>>1763630
Hard to say if these changes are for the better or worse just by looking at them. Not a good sign either way

>>1763630
If 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.
>>
>>1763630
Huh? 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.

I'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.

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.

>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 Xion
For 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.

Yeah, 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.
