"Why ship a game that isn't even complete!?"

*I don't know! Why don't you at least tell me what to fix so that we won't die?!*

Moriya didn't even think getting sucked into a different world was possible. Whether being a realist or being a straight-up pessimist, he never believed that the day when he'd be warped into a world entirely unlike his own would even happen. After all, why should it, right?

But then... It actually happened.

Finding himself inside the setting of an upcoming game, Moriya wandered in awe at the sight of strange environments, the various state powers vying for supremacy over the vast expanse of the seas. Hell, even infinite worlds and stars, [The Seams] seemingly had it all. Unfortunately, there was just one problem: the game was literally broken right from the start.

Joined by a colorfully dysfunctional cast and the game world's actual developer, watch as Moriya struggles with bugs and glitches as he navigates this new world. Witness our valiant hero deal with the most infuriating and rage-inducing aspects of gaming in real life. And what if... Just what if, he actually learns how to wield these ridiculous errors to his advantage?

This is a Beta Test?! - A Literally Broken System

In any incomplete game, there will always be some kind of placeholder to be used in the place of actual assets. While I never made any games, it still held true for any kind of creative outlet. Hell, even at work, there's still some kind of placeholder system for a missing piece of equipment or broken machine that would fulfill the function of the malfunctioning part. But while placeholders could sometimes work for the time being, they should never become the thing that they were meant to replace in the first place. One shouldn't expect duct tape to keep two sides from falling apart when a screw was meant to do its job. In the same vein, a placeholder asset shouldn't be in the final product unless it actually looked good enough in the first place.


Then again, there was nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
