Danganronpa: Falling Future

I just wanna ask cuz curious, but what was the song used for the ch2 execution?

It’s a cut from PHOENIX Project - Heian Alien!

Hi im not sure if this is the right blog to ask but the inbox is closed on the other one. Are people allowed to join the Silent Despair inc server still?

We will likely put up a public server invite for Silent Despair soon; if it hasn’t been posted on that blog within a few weeks, feel free to poke us again! Falling Future’s game server will also be made public in the coming months, after school mode’s activity has died down.

Since I am not in the server it’s hard to keep track of who’s dead and who’s alive, and the YouTube videos also make it tricky. So can I ask who’s left?

We apologize as this is a very late response to this question, but the living and dead were updated via their portraits in the roster page of this blog! 

Small question regarding Toma's execution: Idk if you have an answer for this but if you do and it's alright to answer, why did Toma get so annoyed at the sight of the four other people on stage and decide to slice them up?

The written portion of Toma’s execution explains this a bit better; Toma’s main motivations for being the mole lie in their jealousy and bitterness towards those who have Talents, since they do not have one themself.

Not to be rude and bring back discourse that was already answered, but that previous anon is right. Even if those muns are strong app writers since the beginning, it becomes unfair when the exact same muns make it, repeatedly, into the groups moderated by the exact same people. You should consider opening your doors more to other players or people will stop applying/caring for your groups if they see that 90% of people who make it in are always the exact same group of people.

If you guys do another game will you actually take more than the exact same people again?

We understand that some people may wish for more players we have not worked with before to be given the opportunity to participate in our games, and we assure you that the two readers (Jun and Min) have taken precautions to remove as much potential bias as reasonably possible.

However, we strongly believe that to give people who have not been a part of our games preferential treatment is just as much a bias as to give it to those who have. We know that all our applicants have worked hard on their apps, and we believe that it would be just as disappointing for a talented writer to know that they were rejected simply because they had been a part of Silent Despair as it must be for those who believe that bias played a part in their rejection for Falling Future. If you feel that this is not a fair policy, we apologize, and we understand if you choose not to apply to any of our future games— though as this RP is planned to be our last, we do not forsee this to be an issue. 

Additionally, please note that despite our quick and consistent working pace, the mods are not robots! We put an incredible amount of time and work into producing these roleplays, and we will not force in characters we do not feel fit the cast for the sole sake of bringing in new muns. The idea of having a roster filled with entirely new players is exciting, but realistically, to deny a plethora of strong writers with excellent, balanced characters to achieve this is something that would be detrimental to the roleplay experience for everyone involved. Our own interests lie in creating an entertaining and enjoyable story for both players and spectators alike, and that includes putting together a coherent and balanced cast, driven by preference towards neither new nor familiar muns. 

GLOSSARY

[ Eternal ] A dominating collective of the world's most powerful companies, political groups, and individuals that holds an almost absolute power over humanity. Bypasses anti-trusts, treaties, and other binding factors by virtue of being the ones that instate, fund, and enforce them. Praised by many, opposed by none. 

 [ D-CURE ] Short for Despair Causing Ultimate Radioactive Entity); a parasitical organism that feeds off of nutrients produced by the human body. Limits talent, but also wards off HOPE. Propagates within the human body over time. 

[ HOPE ] Short for Highest Overall Priority Entity; a parasitical organism warded off by D-CURE. Resides within the human brain and leeches away at their life force, drastically reducing lifespans and fertility. 

 [ Miracle Treatment ] A treatment created by Eternal that obliterates D-CURE. Only effective on young children. 

With the discovery of the D-CURE, a parasitical organism that absorbs chemicals and other nutrients from the human body, it was a mad scramble to find a way to exterminate it from humanity. Eternal is no stranger to human experimentation, and so, 100 years ago, the first treatments to remove the parasite were formally introduced. However, they ultimately proved to be ineffective on those over the age of 10, due to the mass infestation of D-CURE over a human’s lifespan. So began an era of child prodigies— while how this new potential would manifest was a mystery to all involved, every individual who underwent this Miracle Treatment developed talents, at the scope of those who were initially scouted for such prestigious institutions like Hopes Peak.

Soon, these children developed to become the working population, and everyone younger than them had also undergone the Miracle Treatment. Humanity skyrocketed, creating never before seen developments and entering a golden era... or so they thought. To the horror of the executives at Eternal, who now were the first wave of children who had undergone the Miracle Treatment, it became apparent that D-CURE was just as much a protector as it was a parasite.

With the absence of D-CURE, a newly discovered organism, HOPE, invaded the population, curling up as a parasitical beast within humans' brains. HOPE shortened lifespans drastically, lowering the average age of death to under a half century. Those who had received earlier versions of the Miracle Treatment were still in the clear, with meager amounts of D-CURE remaining, but as they grew older, they watched workers drop like flies. The herd immunity the wildly talented had enjoyed in the past was gone, and the world population began to drop as it was found the treatment also decreased fertility.

The cover up was wide scale and ubiquitous. The younger generations were not taught any better, and with the world in their hands, Eternal managed to quell the storm before it occurred. The entirety of humanity continued to undergo the Miracle Treatment, despite known harm by the authorities. No one could predict what skill you would develop, though some parents certainly tried, but everyone who underwent the treatment would develop a Talent, no matter how meaningless.

Of course, in a world of seven billion people, there are bound to be at least a few dissenters. Most of them suffered quietly and disappeared quickly under the rush of the Talented, and the concept of the Talentless soon became a wholly alien concept. How could someone not have organs? How could someone not have a Talent? It was the same idea to these new generations. Much of the world lead similar lives to before; however, though there was the blessing of Talent, not everyone's field was of the same importance— between a Chef and a Birdwatcher, their value to society would be inherently unequal. The same societal issues still plagued the world, hierarchies still formed, some individuals fought against their Talent, struggling against a different career when placed against those with matching Talents and occupations. Standards as a whole generally rose, as people became used to goods and services produced by the best of the best, who were now simply common workers. And so humanity lurched forward uneasily. 

Virtual reality is an ideal method for a totalitarian collective to keep the population in check. While small scale instances of the technology existed prior, approximately five years ago, the first fully immersive VR program, FoxFeed, was introduced to the world as a social network by Eternal. FoxFeed was a massive success. It allowed for two to three times the speed of experiencing life, and so shorter lifespans were partially compensated for by this time warping technology. With a surplus of Talents manning the wheel, it looked like smooth sailing for Eternal, who now had easy to access to the world’s brains for testing and preliminary research against HOPE. After about a year to ensure the stabilization of Foxfeed, Eternal decided it was time to further their research against HOPE; they decided to select 18 diverse individuals to begin brain testing on, all of which fell within the healthy worker age of 15 to 20. Eternal had advertised that they were currently looking for subjects for special studies, which swept across the world as a sort of exclusive position; it was highly vied after, despite the fact that there was no application and very few details on the actual contents of the study. Much like HPA of the past, this program was invitation only and carried prestige and socio-econo-political benefits to those chosen. One group of 16 to 20 such individuals has been selected every year; Eternal is currently on Unit IV, or the fourth iteration.
