Your team could have a lasting impact on Kazamatsuri for years to come! The goal is to design the next emoji to be implemented for the Kazamatsuri forum & Discord. Submissions all ought to be 154x154 pngs (with transparency if applicable), and featuring Key characters / Key-related imagery only. Submissions will be judged by me based on their visibility, usefulness in expressing an otherwise unrepresented emotion, etc.
The winning team will receive 3 light orbs and get their emoji added to the list, and all other participants will receive 2.
This event will run until 23:59 UTC the 23rd of December.
I noticed recently that there wasn’t an emoji that represented satisfaction very well. was alright , but it also came with the implication of agreement. I also noticed that there’s a severe lack of Clannad VN emojis! Only 2 for this series, which isn’t much considering the length of the series. So yeah, I dug up and found the perfect expression by Misae, showing her satisfaction at being able to discipline those rowdy dorm boys~
154x154 png version here:
It’s actually a bit harder than I thought to identify a “missing” emoji, and some images just don’t work like you hope when scaled right down to emoji size but after tossing around ideas for a while Chocomint decided to go with a character who really needs to be on an emoji dammit!
We do have “WTF” but we thought we’d plump for the cleaner alternative: “Nani!!!” and who else but Awesome Dad Akio fits the bill?
Team Vitamin C here with a wholesome headpat emoji. This emoji would be to give people praise, and although there is a Yumemi hug emoji, there isn’t one with a headpat (which is the superior form of praise). Among three good candidates we chose this one of Rin from Little Busters!
@grooven who had the idea for this and did the work is out right now, so I’ll be posting this one.
Over here at Team Happiness, we had a ton of ideas for emoji that would be awesome for Kazamatsuri. But we noticed one of them was an emoji that, without it, the Kazamatsuri experience felt incomplete:
Presenting the Ayumi emoji! Ever wanted to express jealousy because someone managed to snag Key merch you’ve always wanted or made better RNG rolls in 100% Orange Juice? Or how about getting slightly pissed at someone in a way cuter than any other emoji? Or maybe you wanna express how much you don’t like it when your onii-san doesn’t wanna eat your omurice? This is the emoji for you!
We made sure that it works in a smol size to express its emotion anywhere. We also chose this emoji because there’s not enough Charlotte emojis it is not just a Key emoji; it’s a Kaza emoji, symbolizing what I believe is one of the greatest events in Kazamatsuri history, desu.
154x154 version:
(Edit: optimized 154x154 version some more for clarity in 32x32 size)
Let’s see… For Akio and Misae, I’m just not sold that they’re unique enough to avoid overlapping our current emoji. I can’t think of a circumstance for what I’d want to use them over what we have. They’re not bad, they’re just too similar.
That leaves the remaining two. I decided to take into account how they’d look at 32x32, and I feel like one is a lot clearer to see than the other.
That said, I’ve decided to award Team Happiness’s Ayumi the extra light orb!
It’s a shame though, I feel like chocomint had a more unique emoji they could’ve submitted!
(also surprised nobody tried for a laughing emoji)
