The Amazing Digital World
by 0104-vikita
A TADC reimagining where the circus is a vast VR fantasy game. Caine grows it into many realms, and the cast live there as sentient NPCs building lives of their own. Worldbuilding-heavy, with slice-of-life and ship art. Mature themes: suggestive content and some gore.
The world is divided into realms, each home to a kind of NPC. The Main Grounds are clown-like (Pomni, Kaufmo); Woodland Kingdom is chess pieces (Kinger, Queenie); the Great Cartoon Plains are farming rubber animals (Jax); Raggedy Village sews and weaves (Ragatha); Puzzle City is the geometric Zoobs (Zooble); the Stone Temples are artistic porcelains (Gangle); and distant Candy Island is made of sweets. A magic system stands in for the game's code, taught at the Amazing Digital Academia, where the characters learn to maintain and expand their world.
