How Do We Wanna Do This

[Immersion Breaking Meta-Information Document] 



Producer here (yes the title is a reference) to discuss theoretical schedules. This chart here breaks down the day-by-day of a given week. 

"Radio Episode" refers to my podcast plan which is this... vaguely ephemeral idea of reporting on goings on in Ayakashima and answering viewer questions. They'd certainly start out short but as more and more HOPEFULLY happens, they'll extend. It spans multiple days because it's the same production flow I plan to use for off-stream let's plays and/or highlight reels.

Thursday/Friday/Saturday are the days I have the most available time to dedicate to proper streams, and Wednesday is less consistent. Therefore, I like the idea of doing "three and a half" days of streaming, a day off-stream to rest my social energy, space and time to record Ayakashima Island Radio (AIR lol), a day to do on-stream readings of questions and answering them there(which will probably be short in the beginning which is fine), time to edit and upload BEFORE publishing, and dedicated mental space for the text based aspect of the game. I don't know why "game" is the word I defaulted to but it feels right, somehow.

A Little About Ayakashima

 Warning: Meta/Immersion Breaking Content In File


Ayakashima - A portmanteau of Ayakashi(A Japanese collective term for Yokai that appear above water) and Shima(Meaning Island) - This has a dual meaning: It is an island which *houses* yokai, but it itself as an otherworldly emanation is also, technically, a yokai.


[Producer Note/IB: I wanted a setting in which casual community roleplay could take place (and in which I could write stories at the very least) and decided on Ayakashima due to my enduring interest in religion, mythology and folklore, particularly yokai and faeries. It has intentionally broad entry criterion - mythical creatures and those in touch with them. Just about any character I could imagine wanting to create could be justified to visit there. This is my Arkham.]


Despite being an island, Ayakashima serves as a crossroads, or meeting point, as well as a haven for the supernatural. The city, though enigmatic and often shifting over time, has a welcoming aura and cheerful air.
