College Tennis: Origin Story (WIP) - Updated 11 Apr '25 [898k words]

Having a lot of fun - Tobin is delightful, someone I want to spend lots of time with even though I’m not romancing her. It’s interesting getting a little glimpse into the world of tennis; I will never be an athlete, but I am beginning to understand the appeal of following sports. One error I noticed: right before the first doubles match, it says that “Lee is … taking her job as the unofficial team DJ very seriously,” but Characters and Relationships gives Lee’s pronouns as they/them, which I believe is what they said when we met them as well.

I recently just got back on here. And am so glad to see how far this has gone and I am super excited for the updates coming.

I also missed this and was about to play the old one and then ask myself “where all the stuff that came. Did I miss the new link?” Hahahaha

But thank you for always sharing your brilliance and creativity and your masterpiece of a game with us. You are deeply appreciated for everything.

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

The latest CT:OS update will be going public tomorrow! :slight_smile:

This brings the wordcount to a pretty insane 878k words, though there’s been more and more branching lately, so the wordcount you’ll experience in each playthrough is probably a lot less than that (though I hope/think it’s also getting increasingly replayable!)

This chapter has quite a lot of drama (see the quoted post for a list of key scenes in this update) and I’ve also managed to add some extra scenes since the first early-release (these new scenes are already pushed to the early-release link), including:

  • Conversation with Tobin the…intimate scene at the Halloween party (their first queer experience! <3
  • Sam POV scene after returning home from the weekend at Cargill (3 variations: open, rejected, and committed branches)
  • A new hookup achievement if you hook up with two people in one night :eyes:

Ah in response to this: mainly extra scenes with G, as mentioned by @coines, but also in the future, some extra scene/flavor text with MC’s mother.

Glad to hear this! And I’m always so happy when folks enjoy the Tobin interactions. Writing those scenes are like drinking a warm beverage for me!

As for the Lee pronouns — thanks so much, have fixed it!

Yay welcome back! Thanks for your kind words. Hope you enjoy the new content!

Oh, yay! I’d already read the early release but I’d been wondering what Tobin thought about that experience. I’m so excited to read that.
