Hard to say. I don't know if I have a true favourite as much as I do just games I really like.

I mean, Pokemon Platinum comes to mind, have a lot of memories with that. Even more with Alpha Sapphire, being the first game I ever beat and the entire Delta Episode. But I don't know if I'd crown them my favourite.

Then there's stuff like JPDE: Sonata of Fire. Do I love the game? Absolutely. Am I beyond happy I learned of it? Hell yes.

But I do play it with the fights disabled.

...Screw it, I think if I had to give an answer, it'd be JPDE: Sonata of Fire. I just love that game so much. It's hilarious, has great character moments, and I got my name from it.

JPDE [A RWBY Visual Novel] Story and Future of an AU [In collaboration with SMMR of RWBY]

JPDE is a RWBY visual novel set in an alternate universe. This is the story and future of an AU. In collaboration with  @SMMRofRWBY  SMMR of RWBY is a community-driven celebration for the fans! A salutation to CRWBY and a showcase of the incredible talent in the FNDM! During the hiatus, we wanted to come together and shine a spotlight on all these passion projects and labors of love, with the end goal of inspiring, you, the fandom, to create even more! Instead of a one-off event like RTX, SMMR of RWBY unfolded over an entire month featuring a diverse array of creative endeavours! From video essays, animation collabs, Tabletop Role-playing games to live panels about fangames, fan dubs, fanart and more! There’s something for everyone!

Time for more re-introductions of JPDE Characters and today it's all about the girl who started it all. The redhead. The cinnamon bun. The legend. Penny Polendina.

It's not an exaggeration to state that without Penny, there's no JPDE Sonata of Fire. There's no Team JPDE. There's no GalaxiA. I wasn't even into RWBY until a friend introduced me to Penny.

I fell in love with her design, her personality, her voice acting... Then Volume 3's finale happened. And I was like: HELL NAW! JPDE - Sonata of Fire literally started as an effort to give Penny what, in my mind, she deserved: a real team, close friends, love, a happy life (that was 7 years ago, holy hell).

Of course, it then became MUCH more but Penny was the start of everything. Because of that, no matter how much I may not like how the series has developed over the years, I will be forever grateful to RWBY for at the very least creating Penny.

In JPDE - Sonata of Fire, Penny survives the events of the Fall of Beacon but, ehm... I still put her through other wringers, especially emotional ones. Also gave her opportunities to show off her badassery, capacity for love, and... Gave her an existential crisis. >.>

Anyway, I can't wait to show you what other adventures she's going to go through in JPDE2 - Adagio of Darkness! I love you, Penny!

As I said, it's a fanmade visual novel created by Meinos Kaen and the rest of Team J.P.D.E. It is a RWBY fangame, but I've seen people share their playthroughs who have no clue what RWBY is, and they've still enjoyed it fully, so knowing the series or not, you're in for a good time.

The full game has been finished and is actually having a full remake being developed right now, with a demo out, and it's been amazing seeing how experience writing has changed the scenes of the original while not changing the story.

If you're into horror like me, the team behind the game is also developing Babelomania, which is a horror visual novel, originally made for a game jam and now being made into a complete game.

If any of this piques your interest, you can check out the team's itch.io page.

They've also got a discord server, and if I'm being honest, it's one of the friendliest communities for a game series I know of. Everyone has always been nothing but great to me, and I've been able to actually become really comfortable just being myself there.

So with that said, once again, if you're interested in things like RWBY, horror, or just visual novels and fantastic writing, I urge you to check out Team JPDE's works. It really is just amazing what they've made, and I can't sing their praises enough.

If you haven't played RWBY: JPDE, you're missing out!
