Nin-Burger, the real Naruto server (that is real)

Alrighty! So, as promised, here is my yapping along with my planning notes and explaining of how I got through the prompts

First things first; these are my original notes as I divided the routes that would exist. At this point of the process my intended submission was a choose your own adventure fanfic, but I discarded that because the logistics seemed difficult.

From there I went about writing down the prompts on my notebook and brainstorming how to fill them with my base game model.

Here's where I decided to start doing CGS, which became pretty much the only thing I really did as I decided to switch from a finished long fic with branching paths to a simple playable ui– part of what motivated this decision was the fact that I knew I would have to learn python for uni, which I was starting in a few weeks.

So; I set about downloading ren.py, looking up tutorials on how to do image galleries and the likes, I also start on my cgs; here are some of them and how they fill their prompt

(also, obviously the otome game is filled by the fact that it's an otome and the in-game prompt is kind of filled by the fact that it is a game, I hope)

Final act, valentine's in jail

Kakashi and Obito go to jail, simple as that. Obito in this universe runs the Akatsuki, which is both the Konoha university theatre club and an actual street gang. He very stupidly wears his Akatsuki cloak out in the opening and gets caught mid-festivalz dragging Kakashi– his date– along with him

Jailed bird, till death do us part

Hanare, an exchange student who Kakashi met once and helped by chance. She is utterly obsessed with Kakashi and invited him out for the festival to kidnap him. Yay.

Saturn and her son, Incubi/sucubi:

Kaguya, an incubus, is revealed to be Kakashi's mother– explaining why he has so many people pining for him no matter where he goes. Kakashi not pleased by this arrangement

Sharing is caring

Kakashi ends up with literally everyone.

Mariana trench, Love festival

All the endings fill this prompt, as the goal of the game is to choose whose invitation to the school valentine's festival Kakashi will accept. This one illustrates it best, even if the the stands are empty because these drawings are more concept art than anything.

Either way; Rin invites Kakashi to go with her to the festival and brings Isobu, her pet eldritch being along, she wins Kakashi a bisuke plushie. They end this beautiful night with Rin musing about how the world will end.

Then there is a few prompts that would be hit along the routes, I made some scrappy quick doodles of how the mid-game CGS would look like, with varying qualities

Struck buy Cupid's arrow and matchmaker:

Team seven comes to the conclusion that they need to help an unwilling Kakashi to find love this valentine's. Also the entire concept of Hanare's path is that she acts like she was hit by a cupid's arrow

Love at first bite:

Kakashi and Obito reminisce about how Kakashi bit a chunk off his arm the first time they met :)

My heart is (literally) in your hands

Kakashi and Rin visit the aquarium and Kakashi is plagued with off visions of her heart bleeding out as she looks at him. The hallucinations Kakashi has of Rin's death are actually very common for him, they're caused by her close proximity to Isobu

What about relationship reveal, holiday hater and love language? Well, relationship reveal is just Asuma and Kurenai- telling everyone they've been (unsurprisingly) dating this whole time and Holiday hater is actually Kakashi's character whole concept throughout the game, but it is best exemplified in my first chapter fic draft, which I will link my Ellipsus doc, as I'm not posting this on AO3, which gives everyone the added bonus of seeing my route rambling

And about love languages, I originally was going to make character profiles, which would list their love languages, didn't get around to it though :/

(because Tumblr decided to post instead of save to draft my chapter is neither finished nor edited. It's kind of fine though because this is more of a progress log than anything else, nothing is finished! That's the fun of it [not really] in the end!)

They’re boyfriends
