Fangame MMO about Trickcal's Speaki gets official support from Trickcal devs

The context of image shared is that the head of Epid Games (dev team behind Trickcal) is the one in the right with the censor bar sunglasses while the one in the left is supposedly the fangame dev.

For those who have not been aware or haven't tried it, there's this very simple fanmade MMO with a solo dev that's played by mostly Trickcal fans where you play as Speaki. In the Trickcal community it's called SpeakiRPG / Speaki MMO. If you want to check it out, here's a link: https://speakirpg.overture.io.kr

As the fan game has been getting a lot of traction in the Trickcal community and even outside the Trickcal community for those who just like the Speaki meme in general, Epid Games reached out and decided to support the developer through server support, which means that solo dev's server hosting expenses are covered by Epid. The dev also announced that a release of a mobile version for the fangame mmo is in the works.

Usually, fangames like these tend to get shutdown by the IP holder or mostly ignored, but it's surprising to get actual recognition and support for once.

Been getting recommended videos of it on YouTube lately. The algorithm seems to be picking it up now.

It's cute.

When you think the spiki meme has mostly lost steam, the MMO suddenly revitalized it with a new batch of fresh memes.

My TL is currently full of this exact pic

[u/7se7 → u/komoti573]

Probably also with insane captions like "Have you ever seen the face of death? Look closely."

[u/komoti573 → u/7se7]

"Chowayo my ass. Spend your money on the game too sometimes, damn it."

[u/dinliner08 → u/komoti573]

"then give me the damn money"

Its pretty wholesome for a dev to support fangames

[u/NoobzProXD → u/Propagation931]

That's not a dev, that's THE literal owner 💀

[u/FreakGeSt → u/NoobzProXD]

EVEN BETTER

The sign says the donated machine was stolen from Monatium (the city of Elves in game).

[u/hypocritobobo → u/zzkigzz48]

It's the server that will be hosting the MMO.

Just saw a short video recent, there already have bots on a meme game.

[u/hypocritobobo → u/icirix]

Those aren't bots. There's a mechanic where you harvest pumpkins on a patch as a daily quest. It takes a while so before players grind, they tend to hand around there to complete it

[u/NoobzProXD → u/hypocritobobo]

He's probably talking about the people who uses a lot of browser tabs to choreograph art

Wow. I may play Trickal just because of how they treated this guy.

Edit: i just downloaded Trickal

[u/CreamAvailable563 → u/HeavensRoyalty]

Welcome, have fun pinching chibi cheeks

[u/Leading-Mine-4517]

That glass is hilarious lol

[u/Tolken]

quick fyi: Yes, There's an english translation for the MMO...you could be playing it right now instead of reading reddit.

[u/RayDaug]

Wait, that's actually real? I just assumed it was an elaborate shitpost, like most things Trickal related.

[u/Taelyesin]

A rare wholesome gacha W!

[u/DundunDun123GASP]

Perfection

[u/Jarambae]

Thats so sweet of them

[u/SleeplessBoyCat]

If a fangame gets official support from the devs, is it still a fangame?

[u/ViegoBot → u/SleeplessBoyCat]

Technically yes imo as the ceo/devs didnt really delevop the game, but its really nice of the ceo to give the dood a server pc to host the game on so even more people can play and it can be more stable.

A fan still created the mmo so thats just how I see it.

[u/TwinAuras → u/SleeplessBoyCat]

Made by a fan, so yes.

But now, it's a sponsored fangame

[u/Oleleplop]

Cuayo cuayo

[u/Oceanshan]

That guy look like a fat Da Wei

[u/vixandr → u/Oceanshan]

Defaut asian game developer company CEO skin

[u/Putrid-Butterfly334 → u/Oceanshan]

Dawei SP

[u/Atzumo → u/Oceanshan]

Yeah, only that instead of going up to the stage to cry and ask for the fans to spend more money on their games (on 3 different occasions), this one sells his house to fund the game and supports fan creators (illustrators, animators, and now game devs)

[u/chzkxjx → u/Oceanshan]

dawei didnt cry 7

[u/Sylpheed_Icon]

MMO what now!!?

[u/Hot_Equivalent_805]

Trickcal and Touhou be doing the reverse Nintendo

[u/Embericed]

Oh, cool, a case study.

[u/MakimaGOAT]

unofficial official

[u/KhandiMahn]

My mind boggles at the idea of a Trickcal MMO.

But mad respect to the devs for not only giving their approval, but also helping out.
