Girls' Frontline (GFL) is a 2016 science fiction alternate history tactical roleplaying gacha game for mobile devices; developed by Chinese studio Mica Team, and published by Sunborn. Players take the role of a field commander for a private military company, providing orders and controlling formations of modified civilian androids, known as T-Dolls, in order to battle enemies on a map of interconnected nodes. The T-Dolls are named directly after the guns they wield, and are depicted as personifications (gijinka) of them. The game's plot, set in the year 2063 after a Third World War, begins with the Ukrainian android manufacturing company Sangvis Ferri going rogue, and the Griffin & Kryuger PMC being contracted to destroy the androids and robots that have hijacked the company.

As Girls' Frontline's international release was after 2017's /r/Place, it only had a noteworthy presence in the 2022 canvas. Its community was a member group of the Gacha Alliance.

Artwork

AR Team Emblem

Main article: AR Team emblem

The AR Team logo was the first official project by the Girls' Frontline community.

The first project officially undertaken by the Girls' Frontline community was the emblem of the Antirain (AR) Team, the main characters of the game's story. It was first completed at 16:35, being situated on what was then the site of the Ukrainian flag. From there it would survive until 47:29, when it was taken over by a Polish flag.

M4A1

Main article: M4A1

The design for M4A1 had to be scaled down twice due to space and manpower constraints.

The first iteration of M4A1, dubbed "Mega M4" by the Girls' Frontline community, was attempted at (1180,794) at 27:52. However, it was run over by the third French flag only half an hour later.

A second attempt with a smaller design, dubbed "Normal M4", was made at (1223,646), at 29:02. However, this design would then be overrun by the extending Flag of Argentina within two hours.

After being recommended the spot by the VA-11 HALL-A community, and negotiating with the community who had made Hatsune Miku, the third, and finally successful attempt at building M4A1 was started (1789,726), at 30:47. Once more, the template had to be shrunken down, into what was dubbed "Mini M4". Her location, directly adjacent to the Baltimore Ravens, resulted in the Girls' Frontline community establishing communications with them and trying to establish an alliance. However, the Ravens fans were uncooperative and belligerent, trying constantly to extend their borders into M4 slightly. Ultimately, shortly after the Great Whiteout started, the Girls' Frontline community raided the Baltimore Ravens logo, successfully destroying them before M4 herself was destroyed.

M4A1 was subject to a Void raid by xQc at 64:03 and was completely destroyed, but she was rebuilt in a very short period of time with the help of the groups the Girls' Frontline community had allied with.

HK416

Main article: M4A1

HK416 as she appears on the canvas.

With there being just enough space for her, some members of the Girls' Frontline community who were hoping to make a complete piece featuring all of Squad 404--UMP45, UMP9, HK416, and G11--were able to make a very small chibi head of HK416 fit in between M4A1 and Dana Zane. HK416 was able to remain there--albeit being destroyed once in a Void raid by xQc--until the Great Whiteout.

Strong Enemy Skull

Main article: M4A1

While unintentional, the placement of the Strong Enemy Skull served as a warning to those attempting to raid Peppy.

Initially intended to be placed to the top-right of M4A1--as that is where the skull icon appears in the game--the Girls' Frontline community opted to add the skull to the bottom-left instead, as that was the only spot in the area where there was enough room. This placement was inadvertently right next to Peppy, accidentally giving the skull a whole new meaning as Peppy proved to be remarkably resistant to any form of raiding. It survived unscathed until the Great Whiteout.

Game Icon

Main article: Gacha Alliance app icons

The Girls' Frontline app icon was made in collaboration with the rest of the gacha alliance.

Incomplete Artwork

The template for the Griffin & Kryuger logo.

G11

The template for G11.

UMP45

The template for UMP45.

Conceptual Artwork

AR Team Chibis

See also: AR Team emblem

The template for the AR Team chibis. From left to right: M16A1, M4 SOPMOD II, M4A1, RO635, and ST AR-15.

A design and suggestion to create the AR Team on the canvas was provided by Cleista Celeste on Twitter on the first day of /r/Place 2022. While the template was officially drafted and made into an overlay, the Girls' Frontline community simply lacked the manpower needed to create it, and never attempted it. The emblem in the background was ultimately adapted into the AR Team emblem.

Soppo Junya

The template for Soppo Junya.
