zero escape games are good because they answer the question of what if schröedinger's cat was a woman with something deeply deeply wrong with her

999 Week 2024 announcement/info!

What is 999 Week? Well, for a “week” in September, the Zero Escape fandom comes together to celebrate the first game in the series, 999! Want to participate? Simply create and upload any kind of fanwork (fanfiction, fanmixes, fanart, cosplay pics, etc.) for a character from 999 on a specific date! You don’t have to do all the characters, of course; any that you can is appreciated.

Each character gets a specific day in September, corresponding to their bracelet numbers! So they’d be as follows: Ace (9/1), Snake (9/2), Santa (9/3), Clover (9/4), Junpei (9/5), June (9/6), Seven (9/7), Lotus (9/8), and 9th Man (9/9).

September 10th is reserved for any extra characters (“Zero,” Nijisaki, Musashidou, Nona, Funyarinpa, Science Boy, etc.). We can’t leave these guys out! Also, here are some guidelines:

If you are late on any day, feel free to upload it the day(s) after!

Feel free to just make content for as many or as few characters as you like! Any and all posts will be reblogged and appreciated!

Tag everything as #999 week so everyone can track the tag! Also: make sure you tag spoilers! (#999 spoilers should do!)

I’ll be reblogging every work I see on the tag to this blog (@999week​​), so if you want to see a collective of everything, follow us here!

Any kind of support, or even a signal boost, is appreciated! This started back in 2012, so we’ve been going for quite some time. We love and appreciate all the fans and their hard work to celebrate the games!

As always, we hope everyone has a great time this year!

One of the largest projects I've been working on is this typeset and book version of 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, one of my very favorite video games. (Which later became the first game in the Zero Escape franchise.)

The game is a visual novel and escape room game combo with multiple routes and endings leading to a true ending. So this version is structured like a Choose-your-own-Adventure book where you flip to different pages depending on your choices.

I also made it possible to skip all the less linear escape/puzzle sequences because they don't read very cohesively. But they do contain a lot of funny or revealing lines so I didn't want to eliminate them entirely.

I should also mention one of the reasons for doing this is that I wanted to preserve the original text of the game from the Nintendo DS version from 2010. When it was remastered/ported to PC and Switch a lot of the dialogue was rewritten very much for the worse. As well as making the novel sections optional, which destroys a lot of the point and atmosphere of the game.

The book is a full leather casebind, with stenciled titles. The leather was honestly a little too thick and required a lot of paring, which is terrifying because any slip could ruin it. And the final satin finish I put on made a lot of the leather flaws look worse and more obvious, which is annoying. It was my first time doing faux raised bands on the spine, and they came out nice.

My printer decided to fuck with me while printing this one and the color alignment is off. This is my second attempt at printing it and it's better than the first but still not great. But I wasn't gonna waste so much paper again.

And no, I'm not planning on doing the sequels. I can't imagine trying to deal with VLR's 28 endings when doing 6 was this challenging and annoying. And the sequels are perfectly represented by their existing playable versions, unlike 999.

People draw that same image of Clover Axe Ending over and over again. You open hashtag zero escape and there’s at least three of the same Clover trailing her bloody axe and grinning without fail

And you know what? I eat it up every time. It’s Clover. It’s Clover Fucking Axe Ending that’s so good. It never gets old. Her crazy anime murdergirl aura, her mix of angry vengefulness and apologetic, playful sarcasm, her cute fluffy outfit splattered with blood. You can’t ruin this, it hits every time

Finally put these up in my shop! A gold variant of the Akane pin I designed for the ZE zine as well as thumbs up Mizuki + snail self-inking stamps~ Unfortunately the pins had a ridiculous flaw rate so only a few standard grades are available. The rest are discounted :')
