I AM
SO LATE
b-but thank you so much I was overwhelmed by all the messages everyone left for me TvT!
Sorry I didn't reply to them seperately because it'd just be me sounding really derpy and repetitive and all that OTL
But thanks guys ;w; I don't really celebrate or care much for my birthday but all your messages made my day *^*;;

also it was about time I shifted that old journal down... >v>;;

Hello I'm still here I'm still alive!
In terms of latest news, I'm working now. The difficulty level of actually finding time to work on art rises so drastically I cannot... OTL
I'm drawing a lot more sketches that aren't really of "put-on-dA'" quality, but maybe one day I'll combine all my sketches into a massive sketchdump and upload them or something... orz if people actually want to see that... orz

We're updating a lot more<???> on our MBTI Project (projectmbti.tumblr.com) at the moment, and sometimes I post sketches and messy scribbles on there, because sketches and scribbles are a lot cheaper and I can do those after work hours and all that :'D

Hopefully I'll be able to draw some decent CGs to put up in my gallery sometime soon TvTbbb
W-what is completed art can you eat it and is it delicious?

So sorry for the long wait and the sudden disappearance — vacation was super cool and we had lots of fun and we came back with more ideas for all of the characters etcetc. Now that we're back in business though, here's some news for all our lovely beta heroines (if you guys are still with us, of course)…

1. Adam and Issac will be [s]forced to be[/s] on as often as they can in the next one week. Much apologies to all the heroines who didn't get the chance to talk to them, they've been busy and all that, but for the span of one week they'll be on hopefully for most of the day (so people in different time zones can probably try to catch them too)!

2. We will be releasing the actual "next set" after the above stated one week.

But in the meantime…

GUESS WHO'S BACK AND WHO'S UP NEXT?

[ENTP] Warren Sanders —> wedochickenright@hotmail.com
[ENFP] William Sanders —> bubbles.will.be@hotmail.com

[s]Yes that's right Hika's Ne heaven is here.[/s]

Will will be on for the next week only, and Warren will stay on for the rest of the month.

Same thing as usual, add them to your MSN list (if you don't already have Will on) and poke them when you see them online. Remember to send us any feedbacks/comments/fangirl rants etc about the characters and your chats with them! : D

So our grad show's over, our final presentations are over, and that means for Hika: ~*FREEDOM*~!
Hopefully I'll be able to catch up and start putting up more artwork here and there but before that can happen...
May's vacation month for me. D:

From May3~May11 I will be on a trip to Australia with my parents, and during this period I'm not sure if I'll get internet access so responses will be slow, Hika will be inactive, etcetc (not that she wasn't previously, what with FYP and all that, but alas)

I'll be back on May 12, before another trip on May 20~26, so there's that too. :'D

All that put to one side I hope I'll be able to draw more and get more art uploaded in the next two months, catch up on SOD (yes yes I know wincing at how long we've put chapter 9 to one side OTL) and continue working on Project MBTI! OwO/

Thanks to all the beta-heroines who participated in the first round with Will, Josh and Caleb! The chatlogs are lovely, you guys are lovely, everything's going smoothly, etc etc! : D

We're now going to move on to the next set, so as usual, just add them to your MSN and start talking to them!

We've received several curious queries as to who the next set will be OqO Well, now you get to know!
(insert dramatic drumroll here)

[ENTJ] Adam Walker themanageme.nt@hotmail.com
[ISTP] Issac Reynolds issaac.reynolds@hotmail.com (double s double a!)

... yes that's right we're currently in our Ossan!season.
What? You don't share my ossan moe?
Blasphemy >:

Also note that arguments and profanities will most probably happen if you add both of them into the same conversation.
No, really.



Psst we update random things on our tumblr every now and then so do follow us there! --> projectmbti.tumblr.com/

This is where Hika has her fingers crossed and hopes that people help us with this. OmO........

So we've got a small little silly project on-going at the moment.

In order to allow us to get used to the voices and personalities of the 16 Types of MBTI gijinka, we've started a mini MSN-Roleplay Project like thing and we'd greatly appreciate your help OwO; If you could spare us some time and you're slightly interested, please read for details! : D

Beta-Heroines?
Yes, Beta-Heroines. Not Beta-Players yet because the Game's not even being coded yet. We need people to assume the roles of the "Heroine" in an Otome game and talk to the various characters through msn. They would basically type back as if you're having an MSN convo of sorts. Heart points start at 0, so some characters might be a little… well… (coughs) but that's all part of the beta test too! *SHOT*

Why Beta-Heroines?
We need to get used to the way characters react to different people, different reactions, and different situations. The amount of "random" situations we can generate on our own is greatly limited, and we realised we need input from many many more different people in order to ensure that the characters and scripts are well-rounded enough to respond to all sorts of players and their choices. Conversations with Beta-Heroines will also be used as fodder and inspiration for Sae when she's writing the game script and deciding how each Heroine acts, etc.

What do I need to know?
Not much, really. You can jump in and talk to them without any prior knowledge of types and personalities, or even our game's story, and just talk to the characters as if you were you. Be yourself! That's perfectly fine and we welcome this!

But if you would so prefer to, here's the actual background and setting of the game, for the slightly more hardcore Heroines who would like to participate in the story more. The Heroine is a student doing her internship in the final year of University (choice of Major to be confirmed, at the moment it's Events Management, or some kind of business course). For four months she has been allocated to work in The Company, a company that specialises in planning and organizing large scale events (usually for the government or other very large corporations, etc).

The Company is a very happy company! *SHOT*

This is mainly because all the types are department heads (of sorts) allocated job scopes that fit their type preferences close-to-perfectly. Because of this it's actually a very well-respected company in the industry, and the Heroine is overjoyed to be assigned to it for work. There are four main departments in the company, each managing a specific aspect.

[SJs] Human Resources and Logistics: Deal with workforce management, human resources, welfare, finance and logistics, etc.

[SPs] Company Specialists: Consisting of specialist consultants that deal with different things - design, entertainment, mechanics, and even company negotiations.

[NTs] Projects and Systemic Management: Manage workflow, timeline, the overall proposal, various systems and specifications of a project.

[NFs] Public Relations and Bridging: Everything to do with communications between the company and the greater public; company image, marketing, publications and communications.

The Heroine will assigned to one of these departments of her choice, where she has to work together with the rest of her colleagues and of course the rest of the company to bring a major event (to be specified later)

*You can read more about the different types by clicking their department names above!

What do I need to do? </u>
It's simple enough actually.

1. Take the MBTI-type test if you haven't already. (you can find four links to four suitable tests here)

2. Add the characters that are currently "released" (we'll release them when we think they're ready to be "beta-ed") to your MSN list.

3. Leave us a message (a comment in this journal, a note to me, askbox, our email — transient[dot]ideas[at]gmail[dot]com) stating that you've added the characters. In the message, also please state your MSN nickname (the one that we'll be seeing before the "says:") and your MBTI type (this is just for survey purposes). If you have chosen to adapt to the world settings, specify the Department you are in.

4. Start poking them. Well, depending on who is currently online, some types actually poke you so there's that.

5. Send any thoughts/feelings/comments/reactions to characters to us through the same channels (my dA, email, or askbox. Any comments appreciated! "Bastard" "heee he's so shy I cannot" etc are all welcome) Remember to tell us which character you're referring to!

6. We will probably update on my dA and in our tumblr if there are any new changes/characters/events going on. Hopefully once we get certain characters out, you will be receiving emails from them to notify you about certain things that are going on throughout the beta period. (If you would prefer that we send any notifications to an email account other than your MSN address, please tell me in the comment you leave to sign up as a Beta-Heroine!)

Also, please note that we will be saving chatlogs of your chats with the characters for research and archival purposes, and if this makes you uncomfortable somehow, please tell us in advance!

Okay I'm ready, now what?
Add them : D We're planning on releasing (for god's sake) all 16 characters at some point. However since we're still fiddling with most of them, we'll release them slowly and gradually, only when we think they're ready to be interacted with. At the moment we have three characters up and running. The times they come online differ, but please note that the people playing them have school and work and etc and live in Singapore, and thus other than weekends they're usually only online at night, GMT+8. Some other times life happens, and we hope you'll bear with us.

For now, we have:

[ENFP] William (Will) Sanders: bubbles.will.be@hotmail.com
[INFP] Caleb Mathagamain: large.green.ham@hotmail.com
[INTJ] Joshua (Josh) Evans: joshua.evans.nt@hotmail.com

Responses and ways of dealing with people will differ according to the types, obviously. (Also Josh is a bastard so don't take anything too personally okay? I'll remind him to play nice.) They will also interact with each other, so if you would like group conversations (or sometimes you'll be dragged into some, so don't be too surprised) just ask.

That's all for now! Thanks for reading this huge chunk of tl;dr, and thank you for your interest in Project M! ♥


Hika+Sae
