Thread 1737967

Cute Korean autobattler gacha with autochess mechanics. Planned for global release under leaked (tentative) title "Trickcal: Chibi Go". Mayo (Cool) dropping soon. Just checking if anyone's still playing.

There's also an ongoing community-driven fantranslation patch project, though it's mainly only released as a beta on the EN community Discord.

Miraheze-powered TL database: https://namuwitch.miraheze.org/wiki/TranslaRim

Github page of fantranslation (2-3 months outdated): https://github.com/voidumbrella/TranslaRim

>>1737967 (OP)
Still playing here.

The new introduction has a reference to the The Mask. This game in general just has a lot of movie references.

>>1737967 (OP)
Am interested only because of the cute live2d drawings.

There is an en.client bin file in the game's directory. When is it coming officially?

>>1738595
nobody knows desu, even when we take into account the bunch of image assets that are already translated to English

even the TW account that's currently public and promoting pre-registers is very sparse when it comes to info

all I'm somewhat sure of is that Epid Games wants a global launch this year

Is the autochess gameplay actually fun or is this the kind of game you end up spending 5 minutes on dailies and jerk off to porn of the girls

>>1738771
you pick an element then grind it up for months the fun would be random mini games they implement once in a while i guess

>>1738775
I am assuming the implication is that the main game isn't that fun.
I don't mind this in gacha games as long as it respects my time because I play them mostly for the characters and the story but it's a hard sell when it's entirely in moonrunes.
How complete/competent is the fan translation?

>>1738782
Very incomplete since the devs both: encrypt the original data table files that hold the text the game uses, and have some cumbersome way of tagging flags for when the game calls on a specific text to use, and because the guy that started the project is a Korean ESL and a good chunk of the small EN fanbase helping him through contributions towards the Miraheze wiki/spreadsheet either use MTL (Google) or AI translations

>>1738782
>>1738806

There's also the fact that the whole text isn't simply held in one file and that even sometimes there are chunks of text that are misplaced in unrelated tables.

On the Miraheze site only two tables are being actively worked on, one that holds most of the game text and one that holds the text for Main Story Season 1.

Imo, I think this game has flourished so far because the worldbuilding surrounding the game itself is very interesting and not seen very often in other gachas of a similar or bigger scale (general comedy/dark humor combo, the world refusing to acknowledge the very concept of death, other civilizations outside of the "small" patch of land the game is set in, etc.) as well as the character dynamics.

where the fuck is the chibi porn

Both EN and JP accounts updated their bios. Looks like Trickcal really will come out as "Trickcal: Chibi Go!" in EN.

>>1738854
I cant wait

wage slave mini game

is it comfy? post your comfiest gifs so i can decide if I want to play

hardcore dragon sex

Is this just all Rabi memes?

>>1738813
check for trickcal on pixiv or arcalive. there's stuff on there.

>>1739377
>is it comfy?
Sort of? Dailies are easy to deal with, and the story has a lighthearted comedic tone for the most part.
>post your comfiest gifs so i can decide if I want to play
Are you looking for gameplay or character interactions? Gameplay is just autochess-lite.

>>1739690
Not really? I've looked in Korean sites and honestly seems like the the Rabi meme isn't as popular/well known as it is on here.
I'm not even sure the majority of newer Trickcal players know who Diyap is.

>>1739852
characters, any cute interactions

>>1739869
Well recently they added noogies + belly rubs as new touch interactions, that's a total of 4 touch interactions (other two being cheek pulling and headpats) for EVERY character in the game. That's not even including all other unique animations and expressions.

>>1739877
when is the global release I need to FUCK them so bad

>>1739891
and check this out: the gacha pulling animation literally has you pulling a cheek to pull!

>>1739904

Well that’s one way to get me hooked up. Guess I will have to find a Korean apk file and boot it up using an emulator

Never done it but hope I can easily switch between emu and phone if/when a global version comes so I can record clips to push others into playing the game kel

>>1740948
I've tested the game on BlueStacks and it works well enough. Switching over doesn't seem to be much of an issue either.

>>1743448
I assume it is a 'connect accounts' situation (if you know)? I've not really played many gachas. I played SMTDx2 for a little bit a long time ago, but I don't plan to redownload it to play on my new phone. I do currently play Limbus Company, but I just play it on the steam client through my pc or steamdeck. I do think I remember there being a code for SMTDx2 and hearing about a connection procedure for Limbus

>>1743452
There's no need to link your mobile accounts like with Limbus, I think it's a quirk specific to that game due to how it does Steam integration (at least I think that's the reason).
For this game there's just an account login, and at least for most gacha games I've played in the past (E7, GFL, Hi3, etc.) it's always been that way.

>>1743455
I guess playing JP PSO2 was similar in regards to connecting to that account for PSO2es. Good to know. Really simple. I guess if/when the time comes the 'hard' part will be setting up bluestacks

Welp, what a short lived dream.

So the announcement's out? Maybe they'll release global during 2nd anni?

>>1748803
Do they do english versions of games? I wouldn't be surprised. I just don't have experience with them in terms of gaming

Official EN localization for the races:

https://x.com/trickcal_en/status/1926820906233442450

>>1750009
Do think the ones that are different are fine or dislike the changes?

>>1750072
Everything else is whatever, but
>Fairies -> Sprites
Is dumb.

>>1750079
That is the only one I know why they changed it. Well actually they might just have changed it for no reason too. Depends on who is doing the localization I suppose

>>1750009
Ass. Especially what's their beef with ghosts?

I never played a Bilibili game, how is their localization? What I see so far seems pretty ass

>>1750220
From what I've read a long time ago at least it's not cygames or crunchyroll since they just rugpull the shit out of global.

>>1750081
elaborate

>>1750115
I don't think they have any beef with ghosts, but more thought Phantom would fit their race way more. In-universe, that race is more closely related to the Elementals where, instead of being physical manifestations of the elements, they're more like physical manifestations of abstract metaphysical concepts like chaos and fate than actual bonafide "ghosts".

>>1750512
Fairy is a slur to the LGBT community

>>1750540
what? why? also I even doubt that's the reason why

>>1750551
As the other anon already answered for me, it is a slur for gays. Why? I do not know. I also doubt that is the reason, but it is the first possibility that came to my mind. Honestly I assume it was just a decision that doesn't have that much thought behind it honestly. Tis a fantasy race and that is close enough or whatever

Pre-reg page and Discord for EN also

>>1750988
Guess I'll pre-reg sometime later, it's not sending me the verif code to my email. Though I have to ask, is this shit playable on emulators? Don't think my poorfag phone is compat.

>>1751013
I think it will have a PC Client

>>1751014
Thank fucking god if true

>https://trickcal.biligames.com/en/
>https://trickcal.biligames.com/jp/
>https://trickcal.biligames.com/zh-tw/
There's a EN, JP, and TW page. The Pre-reg count seems to be the same for all three, so it looks like it'll be a global server for all three?

>>1751013 (me)
Guess it was just my old as fuck boomer hotmail acc not receiving the verification code for some reason, had to use my proton alt.

I'm interested. Is the game f2p friendly?

>>1751060
The game's a autochess-like.
>If you want to collect all units?
Then yeah that's fairly easy due to the card system. You just need 20 cards to obtain them (which can be done through various means other than rolling). They even recently added a card conversion system so you can change them to different characters. Rolling also gives you both spark and dupe currency.
>If you want to get into raid rankings (for some ungodly reason)?
Then no, but the Raid/PVP portion of the game is entirely skippable, and doesn't give you too much extra income anyways.
>Story content?
It's subjective, but I quite like the story. The game also updates REALLY QUICKLY. If the game is going to follow KR's schedule then you'll get an event every two weeks, main story updates bi-weekly or so, and either skin stories or mini-event stories whenever they feel like it. All fully voiced too.

>>1751089
NTA, but do the girls love (You), or is it just comedy and cute things?

>>1751089
>If you want to collect all units?
>Then yeah that's fairly easy due to the card system
Sounds good, hope global comes soon. Bilibili being in charge raises some red flags though.

>>1751093
There are some strongly for (You) characters, but the game leans heavily into memes, comedy, and cute stuff. Which is where you get designs like the Doordash delivery girl from.
One thing I can say is that the Trickcal CEO really likes Blue Archive. (He's on the right in the picture, yes he has a life-size Iroha+Ibuki stand). So make of that what you will.
>>1751099
Honestly I'm not too happy about that either. Translation seems wonky.

>>1751114
>the game leans heavily into memes, comedy, and cute stuff
That is disappointing because this >>1750647 looks good
>Trickcal CEO really likes Blue Archive
>So make of that what you will.
Nothing will ever happen

>>1751099
>>1751114

The translation on the trailer looks decent though. This may just be me huffing hopium but I think Epid's doing the in-game TL while Bilibili does marketing TL

>>1751014
Where are you getting that from? I am not against it. Actually I would prefer it for capture reasons, but I like to get some kind of reasoning

>>1751119
God I fucking hope so.

>>1751089
This all seems great, it sounds like it'll make a fun little side game. Do we have any idea about the release date?

>>1751129
Not the guy you're replying to, but on arca I saw some gooks talk about them hiring a bunch of new client programmers. Also because Blue Archive did it, I guess.
>>1751133
The KR version released September 27th, so if they want to match up the original version with the global version, that would be the time. If it's sooner then that, then your guess is as good as mine.

>>1751129
That anon is making shit up but most gacha games nowadays release with PC clients so it's not too unlikely. At worst we'll probably get a google play games version, and while it's not as a good an actual client, it usually runs a lot better than regular emulators and should be good enough for this type of game

>>1751048
I saw some comments how having periods in your email makes pre-reg not work properly. They really need to get a codemonkey on that.

>>1751138
My email doesn't have any symbols so on my end it probably was just Outlook being fags.

>>1751060
events vary but some give rewards for doing
50 or 100 summons
sometimes they want you spam stamina
so hoard up some resources to be prepared for that

they give out a decent amount if you play the game but maxing out a character is a huge investment you can still do it over a long period of time

>Trickcal has 5 official promotional artists, 4 of which have some connection to Blue Archive, including the fucking Gookako artist of all people

if youve played nikke theres a similar thing to a pilgrim type unit that costs more to pity 300 instead of 200

basically you can pick one of them and then build the element around them

or pick your favorite character and pick their matching pilgrim

New interview with Epid Games CEO + VP and Trickcal's lead writer Paulppa

https://www.gameple.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=213140

Summary: https://pastebin.com/AMqPwGuZ

>Talking about story stuff and how it's evolved over the course of 1.5+ years
>CEO's favorite story events are "Meltdown Butter" and "Zzirit Zzirit! Sparkling Storm", VP's is "Rush! Fury Delivery!", and Paulppa's is "The Snake Walking Alone" (picrel)
>Talking about the player character's writing, CEO and VP's initial involvement in development and where their focuses lie now
>The pre-release novel "The Trickcal" and the game story should be treated as separate experiences
>CEO and VP admit suffering from health problems due to overworking, planning on taking a break after the 2nd anniversary
>Plans for a global CBT soon, using a newly built build for testing and "cross-pollination" of the KR and GL builds' best features
>Paulppa talks about their handling of the story, wants collabs with a Korean drama series and Limbus Company

>>1751785
>global CBT
So no release soon? Back to hibernation if so.

>>1751785
>collabs with a Korean drama series
Here I thought E7 collabing with literal who K-pop groups was bad.

Have they announced the release date of Trickcal's global version?

>>1751915
No. They're blueballing people by posting lore bits daily starting this monday.

>>1751785
A limbus collab sounds really funny

>>1752119
It's still wild how PM went from being niche /v/ core games to a recognizable franchise on level of GFL or even more

>>1750551
I don't know the history on why or how it became a slur. But stupid decisions like changing fairy to sprite tend to come from localizers trying to be "safe" towards cultures they don't understand.

>>1750551
Fairy is an old slur against fags. It's even a bit older than my time but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the reason why it was changed with how overly sensitive some people are.

They opened a Bilibili account

https://space.bilibili.com/3537117026191454

>>1751785
Limbab and this having a both ways collab would be peak though how the fuck even. They could be EGOs I suppose. Hopefully there does end up being a pc version (or it is on that google play games thing I heard about)

Different anon here, I wanna give a slight correction and give some added context to some parts here:
>>1751785
The image in that anon's post is the Trickcal Writer's (Paulppa's) response to what his favorite scene in the entire game is, not necessarily favorite story, although it could mean the same thing.
>>1751817
A bit of a misunderstanding here due to a lack of context. The Korean drama the writer was referring to is an infamously memed historical drama following the life of a Korean gangster known as "Rustic Period" (야인시대). A large part of Korea's early meme culture and MAD community revolved around it. Since Trickcal revolves heavily around memes, he's basically making reference to it in an ironic manner.
Also note that this is a callback to an earlier portion of the interview where they were talking about Snorky, who's entire existence is just a reference to Rustic Period.

Do you guys think this game would be able to maintain a general in /vg/ when it launches? Or is it just fated to be in /vmg/?

>>1752820
It could survive in /vg/ if we constantly bump it but it really depends on how many people we get. There's no advertising or anything so maybe making a bunch of threads on /v/ or something would help if we needed.

>>1752227
they'd be EGOs, limbus is already doing an AK collab with them as EGOs

these chibis are strangely erotic

Erpin PV with JP VA. Still so weird they're opting not to credit JP voice actresses like they do with the KR ones. Website does say she's voiced by Hina Kino though, most well-known as Emu from ProSekai.

JP and TW beta on June 13. No Global announcement so we got shafted.

>>1758906
Global is a dozen hours later so the announcement will come, trvst

If it is the same day for the start, then I assume all the versions are the same servers

>>1759040
>>1759053

https://www.gameple.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=213140

Says in this interview that the global build will be different from that of the Korean build, as it's co-developed with Bilibili. We'd want to know the differences between both clients (like Bilibili shadily having Levi who's originally a 2* in KR as a 3* unit pre-register goal instead of the actual 3* Meluna in KR), plus we also want to know if the EN translation is actually good or if Bilibili ran it through MTL garbage judging from misspellings and typos littered throughout the promotional material so far. It also helps in marketing the game through word of mouth, but that's if Bilibili actually gave Trickcal their 110% effort compared to their previous games.

>>1759066
I assume anon means global and JP

>>1759066
>MTL garbage judging from misspellings and typos
does MTL do that do? I think that's more of a sign that they contracted some cheapo ESL to do the translation

>>1759066
mtl is better than cheap trannylations you mean

>>1759066
>shadily having Levi who's originally a 2* in KR as a 3* unit pre-register goal instead
Is that some limit break stuff or are they raising the rarity of character?

>>1759066
Sorry I didn't put "all the non-KR versions". I assumed it would be obvious by context of talking about the versions needing a beta

>>1758906
sign up link for the beta doko

are they planning separate EN server with separate client or EN patch/pick choice for KR server?

Will we get a general in vg?

It should be illegal to announce shit like this without a release date.

>unbound accounts get no rewards
oh so rerollers get fucked either way

>>1762251
well fucking duh it's a closed beta with wipe, read dumbass

>>1762444
think about what the sentence means for a second
you need to bind your closed beta account and then presumably use that bound account to play on full release, with no opportunity to reroll

>>1762691
Maybe you can still use a guest account to reroll and bind once you're satisfied.

>>1762691
Guest accounts and linking post-reroll are a thing retard, I would know because I actually play the game

told ya about bilibili lmao

Yeah it's not great but I can't comprehend how autistic you'd have to be to reroll for this fucking game. You need your cheeks pulling.

>>1762691
The beta account is wiped, why would it matter if you keep it?

>>1762766
why do you think it's coming out anytime soon when the JP beta lasts until the end of June?

>>1762766
Anyone who wanted to play is already stockholmed in JP

>>1762850
is this bad or will it fix itself when it releases
I'll probably qooapp it anyway if not

>>1763039
Says the same thing on LDPlayer so maybe it'll change when it releases, hopefully.

>>1761937
>*No VPN access*
huh, can i sitll access it if i hate google jp account

>>1762850
assuming it's the same as memento mori, i think it's not that hard to access jp server

i'm in
3..11GB

>>1763351
no guest account btw

It is looking grim for global.

>>1763630
it's over, not touching this shit

>>1763630
Hard to say if these changes are for the better or worse just by looking at them. Not a good sign either way

>>1763630
If it's really that bad though, KR would be in chaos since Epid's on record saying the CBT doubles as an experiment for KR updates, so it could also mean they're getting this too. But they aren't, they're more mad that GL has more QoL that KR doesn't have.

GL has a better Youngchun (cute brat voiced by Rie Kugimiya). I don't fucking care what changes Epid/Bilibili has on the table, I am STRAPPED IN.

>>1763630
Huh? Other than the crayons giving less stats the other changes may end up being better if implemented well.

looks like you can play in English in the beta, as long as you rename the "En.client.bytes" file in "Phone storage/Android/data/com.bilibili.trickcal/files/Table/" (provided you have a file manager app that can bypass Google's stupid read-write prevention on the Android folder) to whatever language you set the beta to (either "Jp" or "Zh_cht"), but it's very obviously incomplete with text overflow, unfinished TL, etc.

>>1763912
same should also apply to "ScenarioTextEn", the file that holds the game's story text

>>1763913
nvm, tried switching the scenario tables and it only gives me error messages

>>1763912
>imho

new girl a cute

bilibili killed the hype

>>1766974
because there's nothing to talk about in the English side of things, while the beta has proven to be popular with the Japanese crowd

>>1767031
I'm not surprised JP would like it the game feels BUILT for JP credit cards

With all the changes to the bili version and some time to think it through. What's the verdict?

if dubs trickcal comes out tommorow

>>1768997
No thoughts head empty

>>1774863
Holy cute knife ears

Also the PV has a Doom reference in it.

>>1774889
who was in the wrong here?

>>1775236
When in doubt it's usually the Elves.
>>1768997
I've played the KR version but I've only seen videos of Global CBT gameplay, with that in mind here are my gameplay takes:
>The Good:
>Improved changes to gear in Global (don't need to worry about using upgrade mats on lower tier gear)
>Balancing seems to be better thought out (at least according to KR server players that have played both)
>Can give food to 1* units, which is not possible in original.
>Various QoL changes, including new animations.
>Critical Damage and Critical Chance are now a combined stat. This is a change KR players like a lot.
>The Bad:
>Base/Outpost material collection system is completely different, seems like you can't spam it like in the KR version. Might make base upgrading very slow.
>Very Subjective?:
>Race synergy added and element synergy has been toned down.
>and Passives, both could go either way.

>>1776108 (me)
So overall, it's hard to say definitively if the gameplay is better or worse, but most people I've seen talk about it lean towards the former.

I also have some opinions about the story and VA:
There are some story changes (most notably the intro has been completely changed). My best guess is that Rie Kugimiya is really expensive, and they wanted to have a new intro featuring her more. Otherwise the rest of the chapters shown in the beta are the same.

There are also some line changes, Probably because certain references are too obscure to be understood?

Biggest complaint is the VA. They have some expensive names, but there are some misses. I can go more into more detail about it if people are curious, but if I were to give an overall criticism, whereas the KR VAs ham it up like cartoon characters, the JP VAs are playing it too straight. It's currently my largest concern with global, even beyond gameplay, honestly.

>>1776123
>KR VAs ham it up like cartoon characters, the JP VAs are playing it too straight
That sucks, I hate it when the voice direction is different between regions

EN news when...

I think we have a good idea of when Global's gonna come out. They announced that they're gonna showcase the game more across various events.
Since TGS is in September it looks like 9/27 will probably be the release date.

>>1777231
Yeah. If I were to give a specific example that bothered me, it would have to be Kommy (Cat character) who in the JP dub has a verbal tic "~nya" that doesn't exist at all in the KR voice.
>>1781635
If the 9/27 date is correct, there's two months left I guess

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpc47h2ftD4
They're releasing the dragon cowgirl NPC from the recent weekend minigame.

>>1788039 (me)
Fun fact: Her VA also voices Rodya from Limbus.

Also releasing the dance crew outfits they teased two events ago.

No one cares about limbus
Shut the fuck up

I care about Limbus.
I don't care about VAs thoughbeit.

great we're going to get limbronies in these threads too now

>>1792076
Most annoying shit ever

>>1792076
I've been here for a long time, but only mentioned it once a good while ago when asking about dailies in comparison.

>>1792076
How did it start anyway?

Swimsuit skins.

>>1794204
+ New animated lobby background.

Not sure what you're referring to. Was this post supposed to go to a different thread?

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9egh1QMeNk
New witch apostle. This is probably the last character release before 2nd Anni.

Xion is so cool...

>>1808966
>>1808968
the hat goes on your head, silly

>>1781635
pre-register for android is up now.

>2 more months (probably)
I can't wait. Also can anyone following the CBT tell me how teambuilding works there? In KR they just make the same color team, but global doesn't seem to have the same bonuses. I wanted to make a team around Xion since I love chuuni dorks but I don't know who else to (re)roll for besides her.

>>1810778
>Also can anyone following the CBT tell me how teambuilding works there?
Element synergy also exists in global (just smaller values) and a newly added race synergy. At least at the start of the game, focusing on element synergy will be a good idea, since the character pool wouldn't be large enough to support element + race synergy teams yet.
>I wanted to make a team around Xion
For rerolling I think the focus is usually on getting Eldain units because it's possible to farm 3* units later. But if you want to build a depression team right away focus on:
>Kidian, Posher, Kommy, Ashur in that order. Then fill in the last spot with any depression unit to create a 6 unit team.

>>1809966
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lsZ29oCYQI

>>1811006
Cool. I guess I'll reroll for Eldain unit anyway and try to build a dark team later.

>>1811015
Yeah, just make sure to check the Clone Factory (place where you can farm for character mats) to see if what you want is farmable in the current rotation.
Do keep in mind that element synergy does become very useful later. For PVE I've been able to beat stages with a 500k+ power deficit (at least in the KR version). And for PVP a lower power team can smash through an enemy team if the synergies work in your favor. But again, this doesn't matter too much until later.

>>1810680
>>1810778
Will there be a PC Client though? Or are we just gonna stick with emulation?

>>1813221
Doesn't seem like there will be a PC Client on release.

Will the global version have an option for KR voices? I wanna hear it more than the JP dub.

More swimsuit skins.
>>1814920
iirc, I think the JP Q&A stated that they would implement the option to switch between voices.

>>1810412
They really did good with her design. Especially the animations.

>>1815472
That's good to know, thanks! Hope the localization does the original script justice.

>>1815472
What's the character with the flower on her eye's name?

>>1815719
Barong. Ghost apostle released about a year ago. She comes up frequently in events here and then.

>>1816037
I've seen her quite a bit, but don't remember seeing her name anywhere. Cute

IT'S ALIVE

>>1818536
NA only? That's a bummer.
>>1818568
Also a Paypal email it seems.

>>1818581
I just want to pinch cheeks and headpats… do the testers also get special rewards when the game launches like the jp testers?

>>1818536
An NDA? I've never seen this before for beta tests, although I've also never actually participated in one before. Is this common for gacha games?

>>1819704
It happens sometimes but it’s definitely not common. I don't understand why this would even need a NDA considering the game is already out in KR and the JP beta wasn't under NDA

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMWa0XEj2mA
New spirit apostle.

>>1819973
>>1819974
Scissor are my favorite unconventional weapon. Eh I guess handheld pile bunkers first? Hard choice to make

>>1819979
Design looks kind of similar to a different design they made in the past. Either way, most people are focused on stocking up for the 2nd Anni.

Free skin for a mini event.

>>1819973
what’s her problem? https://x.com/07yBFOXqi0cA301/status/1961233234546786668

Looks like the tester roles are out. I didn't get in myself, a shame.

bros she is so cute and plump and retarded i love her
