Sailor Moon RPG Bot Devlog #1 - From Prototype to Playable

Hey everyone 💫

I’ve been working on something new behind the scenes, and it’s finally at a point where I feel comfortable sharing it:

👉 A Sailor Moon inspired Discord RPG bot

What started as a small experiment has quickly turned into a full system with combat, character identity, and even boss fights. This post is a look at where things are right now and where they’re going next.

What It Is

The bot is designed as a mix of:

• ✨ Lightweight MMO systems
• 🎭 RP friendly character identity
• ⚔️ Turn-based combat
• 👑 Event style boss encounters

All built directly inside Discord.

⚔️ Core Features

Become a Sailor Guardian

You can choose from a full roster, including:

• Inner Senshi (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus)
• Outer Senshi (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn)
• Sailor Starlights

Each Guardian has their own:

• Signature attack
• Damage profile
• Combat feel

💥 Ability Based Combat

Combat is no longer just “hit enemy” It uses:

• ⚡ Energy based abilities
• Canon inspired attacks like
  • Moon Tiara Action
  • Fire Soul
  • World Shaking
  • Silence Glaive Surprise

Each fight feels a bit different depending on your Guardian.

👑 Boss Battles (WIP but playable)

Boss fights are now live with:

• 🧠 Villains like Queen Beryl and Jadeite
• 💬 Dynamic taunts during battle
• 🔥 Phase changes
• ⚔️ Bosses attacking players back

It already feels closer to a small raid encounter than a simple command system.

🎭 Character Identity (New!)

This is the part I’m most excited about.

Profiles are now MMO style character sheets, including:

• 🌙 Guardian title and theme
• 🏆 Dynamic titles (progress-based)
• ⚖️ Alignment system (Light / Radiant / Desperate)
• 💫 Power level calculation
• ✍️ Custom player-written bios

Example

This makes it feel way more like a character instead of just stats.

Current State

Right now the bot is:

• ✔️ Fully playable in a private test server
• ✔️ Maybe stable enough for small testing
• ⚠️ Still very much a work in progress

Some systems are intentionally simple right now so they can be expanded properly later.

🚀 What’s Next

Planned upgrades:

• 👥 Raid style boss fights (multi-player damage tracking)
• 🏆 Real title progression and unlocks
• 🎯 Status effects (burn, stun, etc.)
• 💥 Ultimate and transformation abilities
• 🎭 Deeper RP systems (relationships, reputation, etc.)

💖 Final Thoughts

This project kind of took on a life of its own.

What started as:

“just a small Discord bot idea”

has turned into:

a full Sailor Moon inspired RPG system!

I’m really excited to keep building it.

If you’re interested in testing it later or just following development, I’ll be posting updates here as things evolve!
