My GAMECITY

Sign in to edit

my GAMECITY (マイゲームシティ) is Koei-Tecmo's official social network service for Japanese fans and visitors of its official entertainment website, Gamecity. It has been in service since September 2010. Unlike the company's official fanclub, which requires proof of a purchased product, my GAMECITY is free to join and enjoy. Additional purchases can be used for the games, but they are not mandatory. As of September 2017, the service now has a milestone of over 1 million registered users.

Kazumi Fujita, the company executive, created a PC game version of my GAMECITY to provide a platform for fans to express appreciation for the company's products and share information about live events. The game aims to unite fans of the company's various IPs and reach international fans. Fujita believes the game will include more IPs, such as those from Gust or Tecmo, and plans to include discontinued IPs. However, visitors complained about the clunky GUI and the need for a dedicated website. The current community aims to reward loyal users and casual fans.

General[]

my GAMECITY offers the basic following services for registered fans:

  • Custom user page and friends list.
  • An active Twitter feed of the company's franchises and a calendar for merchandise.
  • Official communities with forum topics, polls, and contests. Free downloadable wallpapers or images are available for fans. Members could also vote for their three favorite characters in the Dynasty Warriors 7 and Sengoku Musou 3 Empires character popularity polls.
  • Instant log in for the company's MMORPGs (Nobunaga no Yabou Online, Uncharted Waters Online, and Dynasty Warriors Online)
  • Competitions and rankings in the community's web games.

Koei-Tecmo's live events offer serial codes for use in social games or MMORPGs, allowing members to register for products. Special product campaigns, like the Neoromance Message Campaigns, have been ongoing. A web money service, GC Coins, was introduced, allowing users to exchange GC Coins for merchandise or bonuses. As of July 18, 2012, members received daily random GC Coins and could collect digital stamps for more.

my GAMECITY members have early access to Koei-Tecmo's currently-in-beta image uploading website, my Portfolio.

Nyabraham Linnyahn presents the game's tutorial and assigns quests for the player as they play. Depending on the day, he may randomly award players with a special event or gift as they log-in.

There are four necessary consumable values within the game:

  1. Gold (G) - needed to construct objects in the town.
  2. Bread - restores a building's function.
  3. Hit Points (HP) - avatar health points which is needed for adventures.
  4. World Points (WP) - mandatory point for various functions in the town or in adventures. Players can use their GC Coins to buy more WPs. Naturally restored every five minutes (real time).

Town[]

Each player is given their own plot of land which they can manipulate to their desires. Constructions/objects within their plot of land can be removed, rotated, or moved to their aesthetic preferences. Players can build houses or restaurants when they start out, and more options are unlocked by whatever realm the player wishes to explore. They are themed based on the company's IPs or realms which are listed in the adventure section.

Buildings can serve as decorative constructs, but their main purpose is to help the player's avatar. Every construction falls under a particular category:

  • Farm - grows crops to be harvested for Bread.
  • Restaurant - restore the avatar's lost HP
  • Shop - shopping outlets which can increase Gold.
  • House - residential buildings which can increase the number of NPCs residing in his/her town. NPCs boosts the level of the town's equipment shop, which is found in the avatar's main menu. Individual prices and output values fluctuate between each building. NPCs can also expands the borders of the avatar's territory for more building space.
  • Office - added to the game on July 11, 2012. Increases the performance of Restaurant, Shop, and House buildings. Must be purchased with GC Coins in town.
  • Etcetera - assorted buildings or plants which can be used to change the landscape. Roads can be found here and are required for activating a building's functions. Seasonal bonuses are announced and can be bought.

Real time timers are placed on crops and constructs, meaning that it is impossible to immediately use whatever the player builds. Waiting is mandatory. Times are indicated as the mouse hovers over objects in the town. Some items can be ready in five minutes, while others may need two hours. Fortunately, the player does not need to be logged-in to fulfill the waiting time listed on the timers.

1 WP is used each time the player uses a building or chops down a single crop of land. Eating at a restaurant to restore HP, in other words, requires 1 WP per building. 1 WP is needed for fusing the avatar's equipment together to increase the equipments' level. A maximum of four items can be fused at once. Higher weapon/armor levels is imperative to increase the avatar's attack and defense for adventures. NPCs in the avatar's town may randomly give the avatar a present if they are given 1 WP.

Pets can be added into a town if a particular building is found and created. Aside from being a unique cosmetic, pets can reward avatars who feed them with more WP or a HP boost. Their appearance changes based on the building's design motif.

Players can visit other users' towns and send private messages, indirectly helping each other through consumable goods or background support. The in-game's automated greeting function increases friendly benefits. On July 4, 2012, players can purchase Pieces with GC Coins to finish their Collection or purchase exclusive land features for their town.

Adventure[]

Avatars choose their realm, with difficulty levels indicated by Stages. Players advance through Stages by clearing Floors, inspired by a company's IP. The game features various areas.

The player cannot advance forward until every treasure box on a Floor is opened. 1 HP is required to open a treasure box. If the avatar runs out of health at any time, he/she will be transported back to the town to recover. Treasure boxes will have the following loot:

  • Gold - G icon
  • Bread - bread icon
  • Equipment - weapon (sword icon), helmet (hat icon), and armor (shirt icon).
  • Jewel - gem icon; used in town menu to fortify avatar's equipment.
  • Piece - paper icon; contains profile information of characters/weapons/items from company IPs. Collected and used to learn skills for creating buildings/crops in town. The player can access them by clicking the Collection icon in the town menu.
  • Dye - paintbrush icon

Players are encouraged to open the same item type in consecutive order, or to create Combos. Combos increases the amount of loot and XP gained, automatically restores 1 WP, and additionally increase an avatar's attack and defense. They begin when the player collects three of the same icon and quickly break when an irregularity is encountered.

Enemies may randomly challenge an avatar to battle when a treasure box is opened; opponents are characters which appear in the realm's IP (e.g. the Dead or Alive realm may have Ayane challenge the player). Before the fight begins, each opponent's attack and defense levels are visually shown to the player using colored gauges. The player's avatar is represented as blue, while their opponent is red. In other words, a completely red gauge means the avatar will lose the fight. If the odds are against them, the player has the option to flee. This action costs an avatar half of his/her current HP and immediately transports him/her back to town.

Fights are simple sprite battles with automated dialogue from characters. Winning grants safe passage for the treasure box and bonus XP. If he/she is damaged, the avatar loses HP and the endurance of their equipment may be lowered. Lost HP is added onto the mandatory 1 HP needed to open the treasure so, if an avatar loses 2 HP in the battle for the treasure, it means they will use 3 HP to open it. Players can try to prevent the loss of their avatar's HP by using 5 WP in battle to restore 5 HP.

As treasure boxes are opened or when pieces and equipment are discarded, the avatar collects Treasure Points (TP). When he/she has obtained 100 TP, a Dream Sequence is activated. This temporary phase allows the player to see what is inside each treasure box before it is opened, thus simplifying Combos for the player. During a Dream Sequence, the player unlocks the option to change the Floor's treasure with the cost of 10 WP. Dream Sequences end when the avatar's HP reaches 0 or if the TP reaches 0.
