That’s a good point! The poll is pretty close right now so the plan is probably to stick with making new confession scenes in a future game for the old characters along with the new characters. We’ll see how everyone feels about this next update first though ---

**December 2024 Progress Update** > Jay’s final intermission event is now done. I’m really happy with how this one turned out, but I have come to the realization that writing this much for every single main character for a single intermission is definitely a challenge. With the plan being to add a whole lot more characters as the series goes on, I’ll probably alter the final intermission in future games. We’ll see though, I’m committed to keeping on course for this one and we’ll go from there. > Next character is Chase, but I may take a break from the character events and write a shorter exploration scene or keep chopping away at the Quests for a bit. I also started the reward for figuring out Crazy Cory’s password so I would like that finished sooner rather than later. > Speaking of Quests, I’ve finished up Nurse Keller and Mrs. Aquila’s roles in the main one. Still have a ways to go and the part I’m writing now is by far the most intimidating. Lots of coding, which is my worst nightmare, so I might switch to the other quest and come back to it last. Doing these progress updates have absolutely helped me write more when I’m not in the mood or overwhelmed by the deep hole I always put myself in with coding or branching choices. So I’m glad putting slight pressure on myself to finish enough content to post these every couple of months is paying off! With that said, I hope everyone has a happy holiday season! ---

I was wondering if people forgot about that! Lisette will be available to talk to somewhere in the final intermission and your character will be able to ask her about the valentine’s day card. ---

Is the valentines card thing a set thing or it’s one of those ‘Depends on your choices’ retroactive ‘schrodinger’s choice’. Would be pretty fun if it’s an unexpected set thing, could even work to introduce a new character for future chapters; ---

Oh, that’s gonna be fun. I was never a fan of Schrodinger / retroactive plot points. It takes away from trying to figure things out. ---

> [@PristineManiac4](#): > > The reveal will be the same for everyone. guessing its lizzy herself, either as a prank or genuine. lets see if im right also the casen pov bit where he tries to talk it out with tahlia was ballin. really felt like it was his story for a sec with the way it described our character as a trusted friend just like casen is described from mcs pov. id really like some more other pov moments like these quite a gut punch that his bridge mending turned into bridge burning instead but i doubt casen is the type to give up after one attempt so i hope his next one goes better, maybe with us helping more directly this time ---

One of my favorite parts of writing Intermissions is how much freedom there is to try new things! I have lot of stuff planned for future games including more non-mc povs! As for Casen, I agree that quitting isn’t in his nature 😉 ---

hey you know there’s this game called omori and the main cast from here feels strikingly similar to that ones (in a good way of course omori was one of my favorite games and this explains why this is one of my favorite wips) shy mc is like sunny, a socially awkward protagonist who cares deeply about friends and family, casen is kel, a happy go lucky fun loving and dumb but gold hearted troublemaker and your oldest buddy, ruth is aubrey, rude tomboy on the outside sweet on the inside (she and casen bicker just like kel and aubrey too) and diego is like basil, anxious shy doormat with attachment issues and too much kindness for his own good maybe give the game a try or watch sometime? it’d be a neat source of inspiration for sure, just maybe leave out its psychological horror and tragedy elements haha oh yeah i also snooped the code a bit again and the part where lizzy gives you the card it looks like the paragraphs for if you have or havent met her yet are swapped and one more thing for now, even with all the bonding moments its still tough to level up relationship ranks, even late game im pretty much stuck at starting ranks for most folks. maybe buff up the increases or make it easier to rank up than filling the whole meter? ---

That’s such a cool coincidence, looks like it’s pretty on point! Clearly the creator and I have something in common so I’ll definitely have to check it out sometime 😂 I will keep all psychological horror and tragedy to a minimum! Good catch on the code, I fixed it for next update. Stats are difficult to keep up with because I mostly only keep track of the maximums, so thanks for bringing this up! Actually every student besides Casen has only recently been available to get to the second rank and that’s only if you give them full attention. It’s only possible for Jay and Anni in this last chapter. It’s meant to be a slower process with a big impact upon every increase so there won’t be too many ranks through all 6 games. I wanted players to be able to choose a character or two to be best friends with every play through and feel the difference when interacting with them compared to others throughout. That said, it’s not intended to be discouraging! Do you have that best friend or two that are ranked up or close to? Have you been trying to increase every character evenly and that’s caused them to be low or has energy been limiting you during intermissions? ---

yeah its the even split, guess it makes sense to not get any rank ups then another thing i like about the main cast is they all have character flaws and good sides (except chase who’s just all flaws once he becomes esahc) even anni who seemed flawless other than her physical condition turns out to be short sighted and insensitive at times like ditching mc to talk to kivon or especially that moment where she tries sympathizing with the thing that literally murdered lisettes mom and almost killed mc and casen too for good measure. kinda wish the harsh options involved snapping harder since mc would already be suffering from ptsd + survivors guilt and to hear someone figuratively take the killer mutants side…yeesh ---

That makes me so happy to hear that! I personally struggle to relate with characters who are portrayed as perfect or whose challenges come solely from other people’s mistakes/cruelty, so it’s so important that all my characters are imperfect! Characters like Anni typically fall into that “flawless” category. Especially for the last chapter, I wanted to show that characters who are kind hearted and selfless carry some sense of self righteousness, which is a flaw in and of itself. I agree it was horrible and I will add that suggestion to react more angrily to my notes! I was initially going to add a +5 stat increase for the final intermission bonding events because they only take 1 energy but I’ll leave at 15 for now. I think I’ll ask everyone to send me their final stats after I finish the first draft to see if they collectively align with my expectations. ---

I read for a bit, but it feels like I’m pretty pre-set character wise so I kinda fell off and stopped reading. Not a lot of choices, felt more like I was reading a story rather than interacting with it. I’m not sure if that was going to change, but I lost interest before I reached that point if so. For example, I had no option to be prickly or snippy back to Ruth, and typically did a lot of embarrassed blushing and awkward actions by default. Good luck with your project though, it’s just not for me I think. ---

Valid criticisms! I have gotten similar assessments in the past. Admittedly I do have nightmares of the first twoish chapters before I go to sleep every night because I do believe I’ve improved since then, especially in regard to choices between walls of story. A more customizable mc is definitely something I regret not adding, so it’ll either be expanded upon on a second draft or they’ll slowly grow more personality throughout the series as they get older, which was the original plan. And with that, I leave you with one final wall of text to read 😂 Thank you for the constructive feedback! ---
