I love gay people! Off topic this is SO good omg, I never saw a roleswap done so well?! This is rlly good, and I HEAVILY reccomend it. It is so well done, the writing and art feels so high quality we may as well make this canon to the Persona series

very lovely game <3 the writing is wonderful, and the art is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you for making such a wonderful  vn！! I  was very moved to let Goro  change the life of Akira, as if another time and space saw him get the bond, be saved and extend a helping hand to his own interdimensional counterpart, and appreciate your unique interpretation of their feelings and role settings. The part you did about the plot changes of  Haru is also very appropriate, so that Haru and the gang have a deeper relationship, more like a member of them, the scene in the Okumura mansion Ann holding Haru is really touching  ！！！！Your homemade movable character drawing is also very beautiful , so is the cg, I almost screamed when I saw shuake kissing!! Thank you for your efforts in this outstanding fanfic viction novel, I do really, really like this work!!

I made an account to say how amazing this game and the experience were. Every character felt on point and the plot never seemed rushed. This is the best fangame I have played in a while

blown away by how good this is! every part of the experience, from the story to the ui, is such a treat. being dropped into the middle of the story and collecting clues to see what beats of context have changed in this version is a wonderful way to get to know an au. both the romance and the team interactions made me very doki-doki <3 

also, the redesigns look so good on them! both visually and the roleswap changes that blend seamlessly with their original personalities... on that topic. evil bitch roleswap joker CALL ME um the badends are so fun... when his sprite switches to that one where he just goes dead-eyed - best kind of chills.

thank you for all the hard work on this! one of those fanwork pieces that you find and suddenly life is worth living ^-^

I've only gotten two endings so far but I'm thoroughly enjoying this, it's so well made and written!!

awesome game really well made, art and writing are both beautiful, really deeply enjoyed playing this 

No hay palabras para describir como me siento despues de haberlo terminado, en verdad es muy bueno! Hasta me siento mal porque no haya mas contenido. Se nota que esta novela visual la hicieron con cariño y fiel al juego. Un 10/10 definitivo y espero que hagan mas contenido como este.

normally I despise Akechi x Joker with a passion, but my god is this well made.

Wow this is amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work!!

Well, It's really amazing. I enjoy it very much even play it in midnight. Thanks again.

This is amazing, loved the scene with sojiro

Me: *expecting some lighthearted content*

Me: *gets to the first two endings* Oh

In all seriousness the game is amazing! Made me tear our a little at the true ending, captures the original atmosphere nicely and characterization is on point, just *chief's kiss*.

words cannot express how absolutely enraptured i was with this. it may have only been about an hour or so of playtime, but it was enjoyable to the fullest extent. 

the ui and the vibes and the aesthetic are so on-point, the animated sprites are such a neat touch that it's jaw-dropping that this was made by one singular person. 

the writing wasn't lacking at all, either. everyone is portrayed so well and noticing the similarities and differences to how akiren and akechi are portrayed is. a fun minor detail. 

thank you for making this!

uhh. how do i get to new game plus

man i love the (SPOILER) accomplice and true endings! this is so well-done, and the writing is on-par/better than that of p5.  

I enjoyed it

i'm going through the game right now and so far it is really good ! especially the soundtrack. the soundtrack is absolutely stellar. would there be any plans on putting it up on youtube or anywhere ? i'd love to listen to the stuff on here outside of the game

This is really good! But I don't know how to get social stats- for some of the options it looks like you need them

try different answers for another ending - it unlocks ng+ (which lets you pick all choices). 

havent played this yet but i was really drawn to the art :D the artist nailed the style of the game, and i love that you can choose which name joker uses

For all of Antithesis 's stark menus and art-game leanings, it's fundamentally Pong - albeit yanked into the modern age of endless challenge, touchscreen controls, and Game Center compatibility.

Of course, straight Pong wouldn't be particularly appealing in this world of Angry Birds and Jetpack Joyride , so Antithesis offers a considerably larger challenge.

You play as the black paddle, competing against the mysterious and unrelenting force of the white paddle. Things start off slowly, with one ball bouncing across the screen.

Every time you deflect a ball back to your opponent, another one spawns, and every time you miss a ball the white paddle's surrounding darkness creeps into your playing space, eventually obscuring you completely and killing you in the process. It's like an indie gaming take on Alan Wake.

TV Tennis Antithesis is an extremely simple game, but a curiously addictive one. A typical session won't last more than a few minutes, but it's an acute exercise in stress-management and concentration.

You quickly learn to track the trajectories of incoming balls well before they get to you, and often before they even hit your enemy's paddle.

And after a minute or so things get even more hectic as projectile power-ups come into play, meaning not only that you've got to manage this deluge of balls and your impending obsolescence, but that you've got to dodge a fiery red missile too. Fortunately you can fire one back to help stem the flow.

Donkey Pong Antithesis isn't perfect. It feels very much like a game made by one person (which it is), and the lack of instructions is a pain. It also desperately needs some sort of multiplayer mode in an update - an iPad version would be ideal for this.

Still, as a first effort it's a surprisingly effective take on the endless genre, and a clever twist on a very familiar theme.

Benediction - a game by Mike Schramm

| |

] is an innovative combination of a card game and a war game, designed for competitive 1v1 play. It also has great potential for additional game modes that have not begun to be explored. The game unfolds on a gridded map of 1-inch squares, measuring 27 inches wide and 21 inches deep. Players engage in strategic battles, blending the unpredictability of card draws with the tactical depth of miniature warfare. In , players choose champions from various factions, each granting access to unique cards that can be added to their decks. Like a traditional trading card game, players draw and play cards. However, the twist is that each card played also brings a corresponding figure onto the game board. This figure represents the card and is placed on the grid, ready to be moved and utilized in battle. Once on the board, these figures can move and attack as in a traditional war game. Additionally, players can use cards to introduce terrain effects, dynamically altering the battlefield and adding layers of strategic complexity. This integration of card mechanics with board-based movement creates a unique and engaging gameplay experience, where adaptability is key. A distinctive feature of is its innovative use of dice. Unlike traditional miniatures games where dice rolls introduce randomness at the end of your decision tree, employs the Dice Bank system. Dice are rolled when you obtain them and are then stored in the Dice Bank as a resource. Players openly manage these dice to play cards, power attacks, or activate card abilities. This system adds a strategic layer to resource management, allowing players to plan and execute their moves more deliberately, reducing the reliance on randomized outcomes. As the game progresses, players maneuver their figures to control key areas of the board that become critical for earning victory points. Keeping opponents out of these areas while securing them for yourself is essential to winning the game. Players can attack their opponent's cards or figures, employing various strategies to gain an advantage. Whether you prefer aggressive assaults or defensive tactics, offers a diverse range of playstyles to master.

Description

• Antithesis is a top-down action arcade game where you control one spaceship with each hand: one with WASD and one with the arrow keys (alternatively, one with each joystick of a controller). There are four levels to beat by getting a certain score, and one endless level in which you have to try and get the highest possible score, and who knows, maybe even get a spot in the leaderboards?

Antithesis game to Fire Emblem Thracia

I'm playing through Thracia after a bit of a break. There are definitely things I'm enjoying about the game, and I do want to finish it, but it's feeling like such a downer struggle slog for me right now. There's no breather chapters, it feels like both in story and game play we're never winning, capturing was a fun mechanic but I wish you could get good items otherwise, I'm having too much analysis paralysis and I hate ambush spawns. I don't mind using a guide a little and save states if they enhance my fun, but I don't like feeling like I have to.

I'm looking for JRPG recommendations for games that are more breezy, cozy and straight forward. I finished Dragon Quest IV not too long ago, so am taking a break from that series.

It’s a great setup for a joke: A superhero walks into a gay bar and gets rescued from avid fans by a drag queen. It’s also where we begin Philip Ellis’s contemporary romance WE COULD BE HEROES (Putnam, 370 pp., paperback, $20). Patrick Lake, who plays the comic book hero Captain Kismet in the Hollywood franchise, is a closeted A-lister with a restrictive morality clause in his contract. The drag queen is Grace Anatomy, a.k.a. Will, who works nights at a bar called the Village Inn in Birmingham, England — where Patrick’s filming the latest Captain Kismet movie — and days at a used-book shop.

A superhero’s mask hides a face but reveals a deeper truth. This is also true for drag queens, of course — and drag artists have long been the staunch heart of the queer community. Patrick, whose face is globally famous but whose self stays carefully locked away, is desperate for anyone who sees him as a person. Will offers him a drag community, a scrappy found family and a yearning for love that more than matches Patrick’s own.

This is one of those everything books: You laugh, you cry. Also, to my great joy, there’s a secondary plotline about postwar comic creators that is a love letter to Michael Chabon’s “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.”

The neon gleam of pulp fiction also illuminates Rebecca Fraimow’s LADY EVE’S LAST CON (Solaris, 368 pp., paperback, $16.99), a vivacious heist romance set on a far-future satellite, New Monte. Ruth Johnson’s only loyalty is to her sister — but their usual game of “fleece the wealthy idiot” got upset when Jules fell in love with their latest mark, Esteban, and ended up heartbroken. Now Ruth is determined to make the man pay: She’ll play the well-bred ingénue, get the jerk to propose and skip town with his cash when he learns she’s really an unsuitable nobody.

2024 Wimbledon Men's Seed Report: Here Comes the Next Generation

Jon wertheim | 11 hours ago.

Like most transitions in life, the shift in tennis power happens gradually, then suddenly. Roger Federer is retired. Rafael Nadal has taken a gentle pass. Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are hanging on by strings, alas, literally. And so it is that—for the first time in more than 20 years—none of the Big Four is favored to win Wimbledon.

But here comes the next generation. The defending champion and winner of the previous major , Carlos Alcaraz. The new No.1 and winner of the major before that, Jannik Sinner . And 126 other men of varying ages, nationalities, styles and grass court aptitude.  And, of course, Djokovic cannot be dismissed even if he is physically compromised and 37 years old.

Which is to say, there are plenty of storylines focussing on the present; and on those present. We will miss the Big Four when the run-of-show officially ends. But there remain compelling narratives, personalities and potential rivals. And if Alcaraz wins his fourth major next month—as we brazenly predict—that wouldn’t be the worst thing for the sport either.

1. Jannik Sinner

Your new No.1—and winner of the year’s first major, as well as a grass court event last week. He took a small step back in Paris, losing a semifinal semi-classic to Alcaraz. And he was weirdly absent last year against Djokovic—but that was the old Sinner. This guy —provided he’s healthy—could easily win the title. Especially if he is pulling off points like this in the process:

YES, he did it AGAIN 😨🔥 pic.twitter.com/GqHhLtfCMi — José Morgado (@josemorgado) June 20, 2024

2. Novak Djokovic

It’s a testament both to his perseverance and to medical science that he is even in the draw, mere weeks after knee surgery . An eighth title—which would tie him with Federer—seems unlikely. And he has not reached a final (much less won a title) in 2024. Bet against him at your peril. But objectively …

3. Carlos Alcaraz

Your Roland Garros champion. Your defending Wimbledon champion. Your gravitational center of men’s tennis at the moment. It’s hard to pick against him. Life is his beanbag right now. Three majors into an inevitable Hall of Fame career, he remains the antithesis of jaded. It’s a pleasure to behold.

4. Alexander Zverev

He came within a set of winning the title in Paris which is both a source of optimism and concern. A silly tennis heuristic: German (and Dutch) players play well on grass. But Zverev is only 13–7 for his career at SW19 and has never ventured beyond Round 4. And what is the residual scar tissue from the French?

5. Daniil Medvedev

Not dissimilar to Zverev—they have the exact same number of Wimbledon match wins—the hard court skills haven’t always translated to grass. He’s always good theater, but, three years since his lone major, is Medvedev turning into an also-ran?

6. Andrey Rublev

A cut-and-paste from the drafts folder: “This will sound harsher than intended. But there’s an element of counterfeit here. A top-flight player, week in, and week out. A fine member of the society, his penchant for self-flagellation notwithstanding. But has yet to show he has the metal and physical durability to get it done in the best-of-five events.”

7. Hubert Hurkacz

Let's start with trivia: Who was the last player to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon? Here’s your guy. The elephant gun serve will militate in favor of his being a contender. The issues he has closing big matches will militate against his being a contender.

8. Casper Ruud

Let’s start by accentuating the positive: The idea that he is a plus-one, a benign interloper in the game’s exclusive parties? That’s no longer a legitimate point. His 100+ match wins and three major finals—and a stomach-addled semifinal run at Roland Garros—over the last 25 months are splendid. But his grass aptitude—and attitude—remains highly questionable. He has two career wins at Wimbledon. If he’s not golfing by the middle weekend, it will mark a triumph.

9. Alex de Minaur

The glossy Aussie is coming off a fine run at Roland Garros, now de Minaur can transition to a surface that will reward his quickness, slick movement and professionalism. Some real grass bona fides here. Can he win? Probably not. Can he advance beyond his seeding (i.e. reach the semis)? Potentially. But is he likely to lose to anyone beneath him? No

10. Grigor Dimitrov

It’s been a fine year overall for the Bulgarian vet (now 33? Can that be right?). On the right day, his easy-on-the-eyes game can match anyone’s. And we all know the emotional tug. But there’s too much delta in his game (and mental fitness) to make him a reliable contender in a best-of-five event. Trivia: In 2008, the year Nadal beat Federer in the classic final, Dimitrov was the junior champ.

11. Stefanos Tstisipas

The 25-year-old suffers when time is taken from him. He’s shown he can play on a fast court, but not so much on grass. And then there’s the paternal propinquity issue.

12. Tommy Paul

As a wise man recently put it: “Looks like the early year @TommyPaul1 train is back on track after it was interrupted by the ankle. Looking good TP. Roll.” The highest-ranked American is coming off the title in Queens and has the athleticism to be a real noisemaker.

13. Taylor Fritz

Fritz seems to have settled into a bit of a professional cul de sac . He wins most of the matches he should win. He loses most of those he should. It's curious he was a quarterfinalist in 2022 (losing to an injured Nadal); and a Round 2 loser to Mikael Ymer (who is no longer an active player) in ’23. He has a potentially tricky first-rounder vs. Chris O’Connell.

14. Ben Shelton

It has been a bit of a disappointing grass court campaign for Shelton, a player whose athleticism and high-octane serve/game should, notionally, benefit from the surface.

15. Holger Rune

Something is—if not rotten—amiss in the state of Denmark. The talent is undeniable. And bear in mind he was born the same month as Alcaraz, so there is no crisis. But a lot of drama and personnel churn here. And, more concerning, he is a health question.

16. Ugo Humbert

The Frenchman sneaks in with the all-important 16th seeding. He’s lost three of his five grass matches this season (including a three-setter to Roberto Bautista Agut this week).

Select seeds 17-32

17. Felix Auger-Aliassime

He has all the tools to be a threat. They just have not quite yet coalesced.

20. Sebastian Korda

The American continues to tantalize with game and results (including a tune-up win over Paul and a Hertogenbosch final appearance). Not unlike FAA, when does he put it together?

23. Alexander Bublik

Your guess is as good as anyone’s, his included.

27. Tallon Griekspoor

He showed so much versatility and flair for 4.9 sets against Zverev in Paris, and about 1.5 sets against Sinner last week. How is he coping with the disappointment of failing to close?

28. Jack Draper

Currently the No. 6 contender with the oddsmakers? Really? Then again, anyone who wins a tune-up—and beats Alcaraz—gets an automatic nod. There is so much to like, from the easy lefty power to steady Wayne Ferreira in the coaching box. Can he adjust to the Wimbledon expectations that befall all Brits? Can he adjust to the best-of-five format?

29. Francis Tiafoe

A player who is so easy to like personally, he seeks to end a vertiginous decline …

32. Zhizhen Zhang

The 27-year-old is a big striker and becoming more match-tough. His run to the Halle semifinals included a win over Medvedev.

Dark horse pasture

Tomas Machac: Czech him out. He has so much power—that ought to serve him well on grass. 

Chris Eubanks: Last year’s breakthrough star is back on grass (and, less happily, back to defending a considerable haul of points).

Arthur Fils: No artifice here. The French phenom is in search of a major breakthrough.

Jordan Thompson/Max Purcell: One of the Aussies will make it to Week 2.

Matteo Berrettini: The former Wimbledon finalist would be seeded but for his injury-driven ranking.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard: Your 2024 Wimbledon champion. Just kidding. Or perhaps not. A 6’8”, 20-year-old whose grass campaign included a win over Shelton.

Billy Harris: Just to cover our bases. 

Matches to watch

Machac vs. Murray: Assuming it happens.

Korda vs. Davidovich Fokina

Thanasi Kokkinakis vs. Auger-Aliassime

Adrian Mannarino vs. Gaël Monfils: The French 35-and-older championship.

Sinner vs. Berrettini: A potential Round 2 matchup.

First-round upsets

Denia Shapovalov d. Nicolás Jarry 

Brandon Nakashima d. Sebastian Baez

Hurkacz d. Draper

Alcaraz d. Sinner
