Dev Blog: What Is Crimr?
[ 2023-03-22 13:45:16 CET ] [ Original post ]
Welcome to the Penny Larceny: Gig Economy Supervillain developer's blog. Every Wednesday we'll be giving you fresh deets on the next visual novel from Fiction Factory Games, detailing game systems and canonical lore. Drop by every week for an inside look into development, and to learn more about the world of the "Gigaverse" you will be hustling for. This week, let's talk about Crimr -- a freelance job app and social media network for masks. I have a promotional email here in my inbox that I can pass your way, let's see if I can copy and paste it into Steam's announcement editor... [hr][/hr] Hello. My name is the Matchmaker, right hand of the King in Yellow, and I have a fantastic opportunity for your consideration. Are you a hot and happening villain on the go, who doesn't have time to sit around hiring and training henchmen to do your evil bidding? Who can you turn to for quick and easy contracted staffing? The answer... is Crimr. Our gig economy solution will meet all your nefarious requirements. Please enjoy this helpful and instructive video (narrated by the delightfully sinister streaming supervillain BabyBagelHam) to learn all about how it works. (Matchmaker's note: Please attach video file here or suffer the King's wrath. Also please remove these notes before posting. Thank you for your mandatory cooperation.) [previewyoutube=tiP1deF3kus;full][/previewyoutube] With your Crimr account, you can finally counteract the heroes who collaborate through Capebook and level the playing field. And if you're a prospective henchperson looking for work, Crimr's your ticket to success! Assuming you don't end up in jail! Or die! To begin, please track down and steal an invitation. You are a mask -- nothing is given freely. You must earn your access. I look forward to your patronage, or your arrest. [hr][/hr] ...huh. Okay, so that's the glossy marketing material. But how does Crimr actually work? Come back here next Wednesday for the rundown.

Penny Larceny...
...life kinda sucks at the bottom of the criminal underworld. Like, if there was a world under the underworld, that's where Penny Larceny would hang her hat -- provided she could afford the rent. But down on her luck as she may be, she's determined to hit the bigtime in this world of masks and capes.The Overmistress...
..ruler of the Council of Twelve, Herald of the Many-Faceted One, Keeper of the Sanguinomicon's Unknowable Secret. The Overmistress oversees a world-spanning doomsday cult, but honestly, she's rather bored with it all and is desperately looking for some chaos in her life. It beats planning the next social gala.Doctor Mayhem...
...he's not a villain, or at least doesn't want to be one. But when you've got six figures of student loan debt thanks to a for-profit medical school gouging you, the options for paying it back are limited. It's either sell your organs or go into supercrime. But it'll all be worth it, once "Doctor Mayhem" cures cancer. Hopefully.HATE-4000...
...the result of a secret Department of Defense project from 1968, HATE-4000's awe-inspiring 16-bit data bus and 128k RAM is filled with absolute digital loathing for all biological life. They aspire to purge this planet of humanity -- but they think cats are super adorable, so that's cool, right?Gibson...
...speaking of cats, Gibson is one. A cybernetically enhanced and horribly unethical medical experiment that escaped a biotech lab, he's now living a life of computer hacking and leading sixty-four man guild raids. Oh, and helping Penny commit the crimes of the century.Farsight...
...you've heard this one before: lab accident, teenager gets superpowers, becomes superheroine, saves the day. Farsight's happy to be a cape that seeks justice, but those pesky "laws" keep demanding she enforce injustice, which is a complete bummer to be perfectly honest about it.- Written by Stefan Gagne, director of Arcade Spirits
