Drawn in commemoration of 50 subscribers! CC reached the milestone on Monday or so, which is when I started the drawing. Only just finished it :D

Thank you for taking the time to subscribe to my game! Every subscriber reminds me that people are actually looking forward to this and it urges me to work harder and make the game the best I can. Thank you all for your continued support!

Progress Report: Just reached Miehlebin.
Recent Updates: Materia, Equip and Status have been edited by GubiD to no longer display the 'Shield' and 'Helmet' slots. :D. GubiD has also put a display for the Limit Break bar in! So now you can check your Limit amount in the menus, which wasn't previously possible.

I've polished as best I can the first few levels (up to around...maybe Gold Saucer? probably a bit before that). I've been leaving things behind in early versions, like fades, etc, which is inexcusable.

I've updated some graphics. McDonald's now has the interior of McDonald's, and Kumo and Levi now eat...McDonalds. I've updated some old, inconsistent dialogue, and I'm looking into a common event to run before cutscenes in order to forcefully change Kumo and Levi's graphics (and once, Lulu) before cutscenes so they're not running in them. I'd have to make a before cosplay, after cosplay, and after hair/scar.

It might be a couple of days before I can get this back out to testers. Stuff like the picture graphics remaining after Crazy Motorcycle was finished was inexcusable.

I need to talk events with someone to see if I can improve hit detection in the mini-game and polish it up a bit.

Anyway, what I could desperately use right now is any feedback from those who played the Lite edition. Did you like it? Were the characters too shallow/just right/boringly detailed? How were the cutscenes? too long/just right/ too short (yeah right). Did you like the graphics? How do you think I could improve it more for future releases? How far did you get through? I love and crave feedback! Constructive feedback, please. Though if you really hated it and you like the FF's in it, I'd like to know why. Was it because of the context? etc.

Over and out! Have some little boredom sketches.

Cosplay Crisis had a very different plot.




This was written back in March 2009. As I've been reminded several times by my sister, Cosplay Crisis was originally meant to be a short, shallow fun game to take a break from the other things I was working on. At the time, it was actually Final Fantasy VIII-2 (now cancelled, no-duh) and Reaper (which has become my novel Night Howl-temp title).

As you can see a lot of the stuff in this original has been changed, though some of it I forgot about- namely the anti-infection materia, which I probably should've included. Other things remain, such as a lot of the gameplay from heading to the fairgrounds, the idea behind a 'fortune reader', etc. The final bosses have also remained the same, ironically enough.

Of course, this worked for a parody game, but when Cosplay Crisis turned serious it just didn't apply anymore.

So most of it doesn't. In fact, the fact that Kumo turned into Cloud fully doesn't apply anymore either. After Cosplay Crisis, where he spends the most of the game resembling Cloud, he starts wearing a beanie and a totally different outfit that has nothing to do with Cloud. He also starts wielding both the Ultima Weapon and the Buster Gun at the same time in battle.

(this applies because in a secret secret sequence I will make someday all the characters are in original outfits with new facesets and stuff).

1.Nominal Rule
2.The Compulsories
There's always a fire dungeon, an ice dungeon, a sewer maze, a misty forest, a derelict ghost ship, a mine, a glowing crystal maze, an ancient temple full of traps, a magic floating castle, and a technological dungeon.
3.Garrett's Principle
4.Hey, I Know You!
You will accumulate at least three of these obligatory party members:
>The hero's best friend, who is actually much cooler than the hero.
>The grim, selfish mercenary who over the course of the game learns what it means to really care about other people.
The previous two are the same person (Levi)
>The weird bonus character who requires a bizarre series of side quests to make them effective (with the ultimate result that no player ever uses this character if it can be avoided.) <- Zane is actually useful and the sidequest is pretty straightforward.
5.Hey, I Know You, Three!
Furthermore, expect to encounter most of the following obligatory non-player chararcters (NPCs):
The NPC who has a crush on another NPC and can't quite work up the nerve to tell him or her, so instead tells every other person who wanders by about it at great length.
A group of small children playing hide-and-seek.
The group of young women who have formed a scarily obsessive fan club for one two of your female male party members.
6."Silly Squall, bringing a sword to a gunfight..."
However this rule applies only by half, because Kumo actually owns a gun.
7.MacGyver Rule
8.O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Melfice Rule)
If the male hero has an older sibling, the sibling will also be male and will turn out to be one of the major villains. If the hero has a younger sibling, the sibling will be female and will be kidnapped and held hostage by the villains.
9.Dimensional Transcendence Principle
10.IDKFA
The basic ammunition for any firearms your characters have is either unlimited or very, very easy to obtain. This will apply even if firearms are extremely rare. Haha Buster Gun XD
11.Indestructible Weapon Rule
12.You Can't Kill Me, I Quit (Seifer Rule)
13.And Now You Die, Mr. Bond! (Beatrix Rule)
They're both in the game by the way.
14.Zap!
15."What are we going to do tonight, Vinsfeld?"
16.Zelda's Axiom
17.Midgar Principle Nuh-duh.
18.Short Attention Span Principle
All bookshelves contain exactly one book, which only has enough text on it to fill up half a page.
19.I Don't Like Gears Or Fighting
There are always giant robots. Always.
20.Zeigfried's Contradiction
Just because someone is weird doesn't mean they're important.
21.But They Don't Take American Express
22.Apathy Principle
23.Xenobiology Rule
The predatory species of the world will include representatives of all of the following: giant spiders, giant scorpions, giant snakes, giant beetles, wolves, squid, fish that float in midair, gargoyles, golems, carnivorous plants, chimeras, griffons, cockatrices, hydras, minotaurs, burrowing things with big claws, things that can paralyse you, things that can put you to sleep, things that can petrify you, at least twenty different creatures with poisonous tentacles, and dragons. Always dragons.
24.Dungeon Design 301
All "puzzles" in RPG dungeons can be sorted into one of the following types:
finding some small item and sticking it into a slot;
pushing blocks (rocks, statues) onto switches;
pulling switches or levers to open and close doors;
learning the correct order/position of a group of objects;
entering a certain combination of doors;
something involving a clock or elevator;
25.Edison's Lament
26.Selective Invulnerability Principle
27.I'm the NRA (Billy Lee Black Rule)
28.Three Females Rule
29.Perversity Principle
30.Law of Mooks
31.The Miracle of Automation
32.Seventh Inning Stretch (Elc Rule)
34."Mommy, why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris?"
Don't expect battle mechanics to carry over into the "real world."
35.All The Time In The World (Rinoa Rule)
Unless there's a running countdown clock right there on the screen, you have as long as you want to complete any task -- such as, say, rescuing a friend who's hanging by one hand from a slippery cliff edge thousands of feet in the air -- no matter how incredibly urgent it is. Dawdle or hurry as you will, you'll always make it just in the nick of time. Aka the entire plot of Cosplay Crisis.
36.Gilligan's Prescription
37.The Best-Laid Schemes
39."So, Andross, you reveal your true form!"
You will have to kill the evil villain at least twice at the end of the game. First the villain will look like a person or some creature and be rather easy to kill. Then he will grow to about 50 times the hero's size and be much harder to kill.
40.Weapon Rule
There's always a hidden creature who is much harder to defeat than even the ultimate bad guy's final, world-annihilating form. It's lucky for all concerned that this hidden creature prefers to stay hidden rather than trying to take over the world himself, because he'd probably win. As a corollary, whatever reward you get for killing the hidden creature is basically worthless because by the time you're powerful enough to defeat him, you don't need it any more.
41.Know Your Audience (Vyse Rule)
Every woman in the game will find the male lead incredibly attractive.

Given this is based off of Final Fantasy, you shouldn't be surprised.

Haven't really done much. But I do have plans on extending and adding some scenes in order to give the plot more consistency and shed more light on Yagami Atsureki rather than him being mentioned twice and showing up for a boss fight at the end.
That's just bad writing.

Cosplay Crisis LITE edition is up (released for Valedictory Game Drive). I'll be adding the manual to the downloads section shortly and updating the page in relation to controls.

It's fairly unpolished but should be playable all the way through. All limit breaks that are actually obtained throughout the game are in full working order. All sidequests beside two can't be finished(the sidequest to get your grubby hands on the Lionheart (not the skill) and the sidequest to get Zane are in full working order).

It's basically a full game without all the extra perks but I'm hesitant to declare Cosplay Crisis completed. Namely because there's still so much more I want to do.

Keep your eyes out for the full edition. It's coming.
