Yay! I made it in!

Like, I’m thinking of this as if I were to do a rework of the game my way. If I could build up the game Parlourverse style, then each section of the pizzaplex would be a self-contained ‘level’ with everything needed to clear it within that section. Cut down on the back and forth running through the whole building and getting lost (though having a properly marked map would help with that).

So the initial setup of the game would be the tutorial sections as we know it up until Gregory gets access to the atrium. That would be the point where Baby enters the pizzaplex and starts trying to break Master File’s control as well as Helpy dropping Meera’s knife into the open.

From there, the STAFF bots would direct Freddy to patrolling certain sections of the pizzaplex on a schedule, which would mean he and Gregory would have to go to those places and clear the area to keep Freddy from being suspected while also gaining access to part of the security protocols for the network. He won’t be able to use it until he can talk to Baby and then returns to download it for her. Decommissioning a Fazband member gets the protocol piece and counts as ‘clearing’ an area, which lets Freddy get orders to go to the next area and so on and so on.

Did some updating on the IoM Fic Masterlist, which has been renamed to WoM Fic Masterlist. Originally, the AU I had created was just called Infection of Minecraftia, but as I built on more arcs with their own names and expanded the world with new places, new characters, new plots, new regions, new mechanics, etc, I realized that Infection of Minecraftia was too small for it all.

So the AU is now called World of Minecraftia, with the arcs within it still keeping their names: Infection of Minecraftia, Restoration of Minecraftia, and the now current age of Corruption of Minecraftia.

I’ve also been posting my fics on AO3, so links to those stories are provided in the masterlist. What was originally posted on Tumblr will stay there, but from here forward I’ll be posting links to new chapters and fics on AO3. Rest of the time, I’ll probably throw my world-building thoughts here.

Is that something y’all would like or mind? Figured it’d be easier on your phones rather than risk breaking it if the Read Mores don’t work. lol

I’ll also be using new tagging for posts from here on out. Try and make it a lil easier for folks to filter, though the old stuff is gonna be a bear to retag.

avec thoughts - random posting of things, could be fic related, could just be spilling the contents of my brain for w/e

avec replies - replies to asks

avec reblogs - just me reblogging stuff

avec art - any artwork/sketches/doodles I may put up, though it’ll be a while since my tablet isn’t working properly

avec wip - snippets of chapters and fics I’m working on, like sneak previews

If the building closes at midnight, then power would be shut off for most of the building save for essential systems and things, like security measures and system software. So the areas will all be dimmer, darker, making Gregory’s flashlight stand out more and be more noticeable. It also makes it easier to track STAFF movements and where they’re looking so Gregory can path around them or direct Freddy to interfere with them to create blind spots he can sneak through.

Oh, and what if Master File catches sight of Gregory running for the main entrance doors and steps in to create an additional obstacle to bar his escape by locking it with a security passcode. This would give Gregory another reason to collect the security badges and get pieces of the code from each section of the pizzaplex for Baby; a complete code for Baby would allow her to get access to the security list and add Gregory to it, so the badge level Gregory has will let him pass through an exit before the 6AM mark.

Very bittersweet and emotional, and clean slates for them to shed the toxic attachments of s1 to pave the way for fun and lightheartedness in s2.

Maybe I can find some mods that'll optimize it more so it'll be less energy intense?
