VIPRPG Game Jam is the record of the past actions of VIPRPG, based upon surviving evidence. The player uses this evidence to reach conclusions which he believes are valid.
This second assumption is only valid if you understand that the most reliable evidence is the VIPRPG of God. Otherwise the only standard for determining what is valid evidence is the creator. The creator then determines what is significant out of the available valid evidence. VIPRPG Game Jam then becomes either the personal opinion of the individual creator or the collective opinion of those editing the work.

Gyokuro Tribute Phase.0 (Spoiler Alert)
https://hagure-22.itch.io/gyokuro-tribute-0
*The following touches on the core of the story.
Premise The story is set in the declining "Gyokuro Army."
While once powerful, the organization's ideology has become a mere formality. Facing issues such as declining member morale, internal conflict, and growing distrust, the organization is essentially depicted as "on its way to ruin."
The story begins with the arrival of a new recruit.
Mid-Story Development
The story focuses more on dialogue and psychological portrayal than action.
Existing members welcome the newcomer but remain wary.
The Gyokuro Army's past glory and current decline are recounted, and an ideological conflict emerges over whether to "rebuild" or disband."
The new recruit appears to be a symbol of hope, but at the same time, there is a sense of resignation: "What can be changed now?"
Climax
At the heart of the story is the question:
Does the Gyokuro Army truly desire revival? By the end of the story, it's suggested that the organization's ideals have already become hollowed out, and that the members themselves have unconsciously accepted the "end." New recruits serve not as "hope" but as "a catalyst for clarifying the end."
Conclusion (Meaning of Phase.0)
The title "Phase.0" can be interpreted as the prologue to the full story , a quiet record on the eve of collapse , or as a "ground zero" before rebirth . There's no clear victory or reconstruction depicted. Instead, it presents meta-questions: what is an organization? What is belief? Is there any meaning in ideals that remain only in name ? Thematic Considerations: This work is not simply an organizational drama; it can also be interpreted as a meta-perspective on VIPRPG culture and doujin communities, such as the decline of communities , the hollowing out of ideals, and the consumption of faith and symbols, as well as the very meaning of "continuing."
